Qiya died during the academy trials.
When she opened her eyes again, the thorns that had slumbered within this life had awakened.
Her first act was not to take revenge on those who betrayed her, but to send out every distress signal and summon the entire chain of authority at the academy to the murder scene.
Because deeper than any personal love or hate, a hand from beyond this world was reaching into the human realm through the cracks in human nature and its institutions.
A contaminated academy; rulers who used public votes to choose sacrifices; the Kingdom of Riyori, where beauty and desire had a price; cybernetic Outer Gods buried beneath a sea of dust.
The thorns would live four lives under the names Qiya, Shen Zhiheng, Su Sheng, and Gao Jie, rooting out four forms of corruption that the world had come to regard as normal.
They would not judge humanity, nor choose the world's direction for it.
They would only remove the hand weighing down the scales.
Where the world went from there would remain for humanity to decide. Qiya died during the academy trials.

I have some feelings.
There is no blood, sex, or violence in this book. Several chapters of it have been banned, and every time I try to revise it to make it available, I have to rack my brains.
About Thorns
The main idea is to convey a certain idea through the plot. I was writing like crazy back then, I even stopped writing Ember... It's like entering a really crazy state 😵 Fortunately, it didn't collapse 🤐
End
This is an experimental novel, so it is certainly not satisfactory. But I'm still grateful to those who were willing to watch. There always has to be some experimentation, and this is a theme that spans four major chapters, which is indeed rather rare in this market. I always thought that this kind of strong opening would attract readers. At that time, I read some other novel openings, but because of my use of flashbacks, it seemed that it wasn't what people liked. But it doesn't matter, I still managed to finish these 300,000-plus words. Two chapters were banned in the middle. Actually, I don't quite understand the content of this website. It contains no blood, violence, or pornography; it doesn't skirt the line; it doesn't incite, encourage, or involve any suspected crime. It's completely compliant with regulations and will still be banned. So I've been thinking about what can be written and what cannot be written. I still hope that the online literature environment will continue to improve. That's all.
