Second Prize: Stubborn Devotion

  Award-winning book review: [Sentence Cup - Review of Inverse Dragon]

  At first, I didn't understand what love was, I just simply wanted to be with her

  Later on, when I didn't have the ability to hold her hand, I was thinking, could I give happiness to someone I love?

  But in the end, when I found that I had such strength, and was able to bring happiness to someone, I discovered that there was no one left for me to love.

  The saddest thing in this world is not that people who love each other part ways, but rather that they loved, only to discover they were completely wrong.

  We were both wrong

  Softly glowing hands, yellow silk wine, the whole city is filled with spring colors and palace walls are lined with willows. The east wind is cruel, joyful feelings are thin, a heart full of sorrowful thoughts, several years of longing to leave. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

  Spring is as it used to be, but people are thin and empty, tears have stained the red silk. Peach blossoms fall, a leisurely pool pavilion, the mountain oath is still there, but the brocade book is hard to entrust. Don't, don't, don't

  ————————————————————————————

  To say that during the first year of high school entrance exams, I was at home watching Shen Mo, and as a result, it goes without saying that I had to repeat another year, what a tragedy!

  In the second year, I read at an average speed of four books a day. Then, I accidentally saw it and remembered that I had passed by its name several times before. I thought it was written by someone else, but I didn't expect it to be written by Zhu Tou (Pig Head). When I really had nothing to read, I picked it up and was surprised to find out that it was indeed written by Pig Head.

  When I saw the protagonist's name "Reinhardt", I was confused about how it became a foreigner's name, this is not Pighead's style. Then, as I read on bit by bit, I understood.

  Reinhart, who inherited the bloodline and talent of Yichendust, a powerful and violent An, and Alin, a fanatic, three people with no relation to each other met in the Divine Nest like this, damn fate.

  I still remember Chapter 13, "The Czar, our great and mighty Chekhov has returned", let's take a look at his depiction: A messy head of yellowish-brown hair, as if it hadn't been washed for half a year, a withered and thin body, wearing an extremely old-fashioned green and white striped shirt on top, and a pair of wide shorts below - the zipper wasn't zipped up, revealing a few strands of yellow hair underneath, holding a long and thin cigarette in his mouth, constantly blowing out smoke from his nostrils. Oh God, it's really the ultimate sleaziness, unparalleled in heaven and earth, this is our great and mighty Chekhov's first appearance in Inverse Dragon, I was deeply shocked at that time, deeply shocked. And our Reinhardt, as a pure-hearted little C-man, when facing Chekhov's attack on the website, actually shamefully had a nosebleed while watching those classic romance action movies, oh shame.

  Then Rheinhardt met Yitian Xing, this absolute scoundrel and second-generation rich kid, who was also his elder brother, oh shit.

  To be honest, I didn't expect that Alin would actually... Ah, poor Reinhardt, what a pitiful guy.

  Does everyone still remember the hotel in Fuji Mountain, Japan? I recall that when entering the hotel, there was an extraordinary fountain show. It was truly amazing, especially with the music and water spraying out from the horse's eyes. Oh my god, it was incredibly impressive!

  Do you remember Yitian Xing's words? "Dear beauty, are you willing to have a transcendent friendship with me, not love, purely physical relationship?" Wow, and that sentence: A man's most glorious moment is when I use my hundred-refined golden gun to pierce through those hymens. When I shoot out the essence, it's the most dazzling moment in my life. It's really too cool. And when Yitian Xing confessed to Jingyinfeng: "Believe me, Yinfeng, I will protect you! As long as you choose me, no one can hurt you again! When you bully others, I'll help you beat him up; when others bully you, I'll help you beat him up. When you want to kill someone, I'll help you knock him out; when others want to kill you, I'll help you wipe out his whole family and leave no chicken or dog alive!" He's really a top-notch character, worthy of being taught by the great Chekhov!

  And our Reinhardt looks so pure and lovely, still being set up by that group of old vampires without knowing who was in the dark. And remember Reinhardt's legendary make-out session with Goddess Wei?

  The entire Holy See was almost destroyed, it was too intense. It was like a life-and-death struggle between lovers. He could even hear his little brother Shanghai's crying and moaning. If not for the support of Long Li inside, he believed he would have been directly castrated. Wei's two legs were so entwined that they seemed to have the power of ten thousand tons. Hmm, you can go read chapter 172 for more details. Wow, it was absolutely speechless, that ancient love affair was truly unparalleled.

  Is there still An's mount Stormwind? His sentence: "Dream, not dream; Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly, what is real and what is illusory?" stunned Jackson and Faro. The sentence "Good war must be forgotten, war must be forgotten" made Reinhardt and Yitian Xing ashamed, and the sentence "**is the greatest driving force for human social progress**" tsk tsk.

  And then, the hurricane and Yidun's discussion about why people do what they do was really shocking to everyone. The hurricane looked at Yitianxing with a sarcastic gaze: "That's right, I'm a pig, but I'm a high-quality pig, I think. I keep thinking, because only thinking can make me feel like I really exist, even if this existence is just an illusion." And then the pig head said something profound: "The only purpose of living is not to die! This is the most basic goal. Because only by not dying can we find the ultimate answer." Although it's just a pig, it said what our goal is as humans, no matter what we do, it's all about being able to live on, making more money to eat better, wear better clothes, use better things, and have more beautiful women. Everything seems profound but is actually very simple, no wonder they call him the pig head. Through a casual conversation with a pig, I realized the purpose of our existence, thank you, pig head, for making me understand why we live, although it's simple, it's straightforward, easy to understand, and if you pay attention, you'll remember it in your heart, but if you don't, you can just laugh at it.

  Reinhardt, Yitian Xing, An, Wei (there's also a Wei in Shenmo, sigh), Baofeng, all the characters from Niulong are emerging before my eyes. Some things can't be forgotten. Looking at the whole story, whether it was Reinhardt or Yichen, everything they did was just like Baofeng said, simply to live on without being bound.

  And does everyone still remember that super powerful finale? That was something, originally thought Yi Chen would be fighting for his life with them but then came a sudden huge twist, the Tian Long clan returned, oh yeah. Absolutely dominant, the tens of billions of Tian Long returned, absolutely dominant, absolutely overbearing, absolutely awesome, made the Blood Emperor and Shi Ling Zhen not have any temper at all, especially Old White Dragon's line: "You little girl, just now almost shattered my claws, caused both my body and spirit to suffer extremely severe injuries, you must give me satisfactory compensation or else." When I saw this line I almost spit it out.

  To sum up, it brought me a different kind of enjoyment. However, no matter how good the book is, there will always be an end to it one day. The Inverted Dragon has ended, but I believe that Zhu Tou (Pig Head) will have even better books waiting for us. Wow!

  Piggy's comment: Actually, Piggy is a very traditional and simple-minded person. So every time Piggy sees those dirty and obscene characters in the book, Piggy will blush...

  There are always people asking me who Chekhov's original shape is. I think, do we need a specific original shape? In China, there are so many computer-playing guys, those little tricks in there, right? Everyone understands! Right?
