Features: This is a novel, and I am not responsible for the health of those who take it too literally. The events in the novel are merely nails for the characters. Years have passed, and the Garlic Terrace incident has become outdated, but the characters in the novel may still have a little vitality. In the new century, I hope there will be no more such events that inspire me to write novels like this.
