I Am My Own Mistake

The first characters of the chapter titles from later discussions, when combined, form: [Wanqing, I love you. Ye Chen, don't worry, I will always be with you] [sfem:10:483]

The Ballad of the Stars is a gentle and melodious song.

—A review of the final chapter of "I Am My Mistake" (I've already written a review of the final chapter, guess if I'm giving away spoilers? I've even spoiled other books!) Everything has settled down. This was my first feeling after Chapter 60 of Volume 7. Putting down my phone, I actually felt like crying. Friends familiar with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" might have felt that everything was settled by the end of Chapter 57. I thought so too, so seeing the actual ending revealed a completely different feeling, even one that was incredibly—shocking. —It's over, everything is over. We must begin a new...

1. "That's life." 2. Humans are inherently interdependent. 3. Whether something is genuine or not is actually unimportant. 4. Life has no poetry or distant horizons, only the mundane struggles of the present. 5. To live, one either has a goal to strive for or feels no pain. 6. Life is better when it's rough around the edges; living too exquisitely can lead to collapse. 7. Perhaps, the older one gets, the more things one fears. With more fears, one can no longer move forward without hesitation. 8. When you're struggling just to survive, you forget everything, even yourself. 9. Numbness, perhaps, is what a corporate slave experiences in society...

A bright society and good people can save a ghost corrupted by darkness. Volume Three, the third part of the main story, truly captivated me even more than the first two volumes. I have a discerning eye; this kind of simple, heartwarming slice-of-life story is rare, and high-quality ones are even rarer. Yinniang's books always manage to grab my attention. Let's talk about the plot. A person's thoughts are controlled by their environment and their own hormones. When surrounded by kind, warm, gentle, and tolerant people, even someone who has experienced the darkest times, resulting in a volatile and fragile personality, can be influenced. Yes, I'm saying...

Stumbling upon this book amidst the mass-produced saccharin-filled world of online novels was a delightful surprise. Personally, this is the first time I've read a novel with the theme of "self-marriage," making it quite refreshing. What would happen if Yin Niang's signature "self-marriage" turned into "self-marriage"? The past timeline brings a unique reading experience. The familiar writing style combined with this sense of the era, even without firsthand experience, allows one to feel transported back to that time through the stories told by elders and the words themselves. There are no formulaic plots where the protagonist is invincible based on memory; the slightly heavy sense of realism resonates more deeply—past, present, through Wan Qing and Ye Chen...

It's hard to believe this is a book by the author of "I Am My Wife." The main reason is probably because I read "Mistake" first and then "I Am My Wife," and the difference in quality was too great. The only saving grace is that the author's writing skills have improved significantly in recent years; it's wonderful to have read "Mistake."

Can anyone tell me how it ends? After reading 2 million words, I need to be mentally prepared.

I saw a building called Wanqing Building while I was out today. Is Wanqing living inside? [Sfem:12:538]

(The preceding is just venting; the book review is at the end.) Everyone has regrets, big or small, and when we look back, we inevitably think, "Ah, if only I had... Things would have been different." The character Wanqing in the author's story gets a second chance to make up for her regrets, finding a close partner and friends, and gradually opening her heart, which had been closed off by repeated setbacks and blows. But reality is a cruel one-way journey from start to finish; such opportunities are often unattainable. The author vividly depicts the vibrant student life and reality of the 1990s, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing, yet also a bittersweet feeling...
