To know the worldly calamities of swords and spears, just listen to the cries from the butcher's shop at midnight. Do not merely complain about your own illnesses or sudden misfortunes; instead, reflect on the countless lives that have perished under your blade.

And what about you? You have been performing how adorable you are in front of me. Yes, I admit it, I admit being swept away by your adorability.

Xia Lin left Lu Tao because she was dissatisfied with herself. However, you, Yang Xiaoyun, are satisfied with yourself but dissatisfied with me.

The path of life is a journey of trekking and climbing from birth to death. The road is difficult, matters are difficult, and being a good person is even more difficult. Along the way, it is hard to be good, and one cannot be evil. Being a good person entails bearing mental pressure, telling oneself to strive for perfection to win social praise; the difficulty lies in letting go. Being an evil person requires withstanding the condemnation of conscience and the spitting of society, enduring pressure from within and without, and destroying everything in life.
