   It's incredibly, incredibly good; it's my favorite novel. I'm rarely interested in love stories, or at least they rarely move me. But in this novel, the emotions between them develop so naturally, so effortlessly. A sense of care and concern, both spontaneous and restrained, overflows from the lines. The character of Senior Sister Zhuxian is portrayed very vividly, and she has enriched my understanding of love. This is the first time I've enjoyed a yuri novel so much. The author's way of thinking and the way he organizes his language are quite impressive. It's hard to believe that this is a piece written more than ten years ago. It's truly amazing.

Off the coast of Guangdong, south of Nancheng, separated from the city by a narrow stretch of sea. Nan Island Middle School is a boarding high school ranked first in the city. It’s known as “the island’s pride,” yet it is directly administered by the city’s education bureau, and 90% of its enrollment places go to children from the city across the water. The island is poor, and its schools are short on qualified teachers. That year, only two students from Fangkou Village, 46.3kFavorites30.3kClicks/ch49.9kGifts

   It's a good read. I don't often read yuri campus novels, but this one is very good.

   It's great, I really like it. I hope the author stays healthy and continues writing novels if they're still willing. I'll wait with the other readers for the perfect ending of 1001.

   This is the best female-centric novel I've read this year; I truly loved it. Reading the whole thing was filled with moments of irrepressible laughter and countless tears. My heart rose and fell with the plot and the characters' appearances and disappearances. The author's pacing was perfect, neither too slow nor too fast. I loved all the characters! There's Xue Jingzhen, who is shrewd and calculating yet reveals her vulnerability to her mother; Tan Zhao, kind and compassionate but with a dark side, and the first to have her name and existence erased; Xie Lingwei, emotionally volatile yet righteous with a touch of bitterness and darkness; Yue Niang, truly gentle and resolute like moonlight; Gongsun Ying, free-spirited and unconventional; the gentle yet determined eldest princess; and the current emperor, conflicted, mad, and decisive… There's also the powerful Daoist Zhongli, the carefree Xuan Yangzi, the entertaining teacher's wife, and the god of joy created from the wishes of her followers… so many! Each character's personality is so vivid. Towards the end of the novel, I was constantly in tears. Everyone gave their all, walking alongside the gods with mortal bodies. Fortunately, in the epilogue, His dream was a beautiful dream, and the universe was born from His dream murmurs. His beautiful dream was the reality of the human world; life is indeed but a dream.

7. 7 食 Nourishment Therapy (GL) 食补（gl） Eight Thousand Years八千岁Baihe (GL)695k WordsCompleted Not every golden finger leads to greatness, and not every lucky person dreams of untold riches. Through hard work in every season, small miracles quietly blossoming in the corners of the city are miracles too. How lucky we are: what was broken can be mended. A light, mid-length slice-of-life story with familiar tropes, as listed in the tags. The romance is slow and innocent, and I tend to ramble. Please bear with me. I’m writing this to get back into the swing of things. The main story is compl 23.8kFavorites28.1kClicks/ch109.4kGifts

   Curator note

   It's a beautiful read, with light and calming prose, yet I was constantly amazed by its unique narrative perspective. It touched me deeply and brought me a rare sense of peace. I truly loved this story after reading it. My biggest regret is that it's a bit short; I wanted more. I hope the author can write another story without a romantic pairing (if possible, I'm not asking, it's entirely up to the author). I feel incredibly lucky to have read this story, and I deeply admire the author's imagination and ability to write a dreamlike yet grounded narrative. (Yes, I've fallen in love with the author!) In summary: It's incredibly good, go for it without hesitation!
