It also touches upon topics such as technological ethics, self-awareness, and faith. The author is a novice at storytelling, but also a master.
——Wang Jinkang (Renowned Chinese science fiction writer and recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award. His works have won many domestic and international science fiction literature awards)

"The Path of Revelation" shows us that AI, bionic humans, and virtual worlds are not just about technology; they are also about how we perceive life and emotions. This is a re-examination of the existence of "human beings" and a kind of gentle redemption.
— Hao Jingfang (Well - known science fiction writer and economist, recipient of the Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award. Her representative work “Folding Beijing” won the 74th Hugo Award.)

I used to collaborate with Spica on a song, and her professional musical ability left a deep impression on me. After more than ten years, reading her words is also warm and talented. I once saw a short video in which someone asked G.E.M. (Deng Ziqi) a question, and her answer at that time could feel a lot of thinking. I recommend everyone to read this book. As written in the book, "The free will that God gives to humans is such a great and loving gift."
—— Han Han (Well - known writer, director, and race car driver, one of the most influential young Chinese writers. His directed works such as “The Continent” and “Better Days” have achieved both box - office and critical success.)

You will be surprised that a girl in the limelight would be willing to walk into the darkness, seek light barefoot, and write such a "sincere" novel.
— Jay Fang (Renowned lyricist and director, known as the “gold partner” of Jay Chou, the iconic figure in Chinese music.)

This book adopts a cross - narrative mode of two lines, which is quite novel. In the story, the male protagonist, Nie Aifan, developed and designed a virtual world called "Letu"("Paradise") and fell in love with the virtual person Goria in it. He connected Goria's virtual consciousness with an entity robot, and the two spent a period of happy time together. In fact, Goria is the virtual character created by the female protagonist, Qiu Chenxi. Qiu Chenxi lost her boyfriend, her left leg, and her future in a car accident. After discovering this secret, Goria left Nie Aifan and returned to the Letu world, and finally stayed with Nie Aifan's virtual person. In real life, Nie Aifan also realized that Qiu Chenxi and Goria are one and the same.

The novel adopts a unique setting of three - fold worlds, the virtual world "Letu"("Paradise"), its counterpart "Wasteland", and the real world, which are interwoven. It tells the story of the virtual character "Goria" and the real girl Qiu Chenxi struggling and echoing in different dimensions. In the process of identity tearing and emotional reconstruction, they explore the essential proposition of "self" and "love" in the technological era.

The novel is not focused on technology itself, but on the complex proposition of "self" and "love" that individuals face after technology intervenes in human life: how should people love. It does not provide answers, but offers a "The Path of Revelation" to the inner heart.

"The Path of Revelation" is a story about searching. A broken heart is searching for complete love, an activated consciousness is seeking real existence, and a created life is looking for the mysteries of the universe. In this exploration across science, philosophy, and theology, perhaps love is the ultimate answer - it allows separated souls to meet, heals broken hearts, and makes illusory existence real.
