La novela es un género que se alimenta de la realidad, pero que la transfigura.

"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

Custom， then， is the great guide of human life.

译文：厚道的人，福泽深厚；刻薄的人，福薄命浅。

No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that's the exciting part.
