'Kid, although you don't have the strength to crush boulders or the wisdom to outwit your enemies, that is not all you need.' He remembered the old owl's laughter and the feel of his bony fingers against his head. 'Intuition, kid. That is the quality you have to hone; to soar through any trouble and get out of any pinch.'
"Hey! I found two sets of stairs over here. One goes up and the other down. Which way first?"
Marg knew everything about his wife and children, and I guess that's what attracted her more to James. I mean, he's a keeper.
Since this is the low-level test, it doesn't require a human to operate. This was design so that every student can try it whenever they like and as many time as they need.
"I don't like seeing you sad," she repeated, making me let out a low laugh. Okay, maybe I'd pushed it a little, but a step towards the right direction was still a step either way.
This section of the novel is a masterclass in escalating tension. Let me walk through why I literally stayed up until 3 AM reading this. It starts with the confrontation—Gu Huai accusing HER of cheating. That's a great opening hook because it immediately flips the power dynamic. Then it moves to the drugging scene, which is the emotional peak of this section. And then—without letting the reader catch their breath—it pivots to the pregnancy reveal and Jiang Sesè's villain plan. Three major plot developments in what feels like a few chapters, and each one hits harder than the last. The pacing between scenes is also really smart. After the intense bedroom confrontation, we get a quieter moment where Lu Zhenzhu is crying on the sofa, and then Gu Huai's reaction—storming out but then ordering Aunt Zhang to prepare another glass of milk. That detail alone is so chilling. He's not remorseful, he's just making sure his plan continues. The chapter ending with Jiang Sesè learning about the pregnancy and deciding the baby must go—that's a perfect cliffhanger. I immediately opened the next chapter. The author knows exactly how to keep you hooked and I respect it so much.

Now on why I am ending this book.
"Did you hear?! Shen Tian is marrying Goddess Ning-er finally!"
"Let's go to our room sweetheart" Alex slurred again and started kissing me again.
"You threw me away."
