Twilight is Coming to an End is an in-depth review and candid sharing of her celibate life in her later years. In the book, with her witty and candid writing style, she shows the state of mind and feelings of celibate women in their old age. From her youthful maneuvering with the world to her old age's insistence on her own spiritual world, her words let us see the repeated pull of compromise and freedom in a woman's life.

The book contains not only the candid voices of single women, but also the new rewards of old age. She talks about how hormonal changes as she enters old age have made her think more clearly, and how the social disorders that once plagued her have disappeared, allowing her to face life more openly. In the book, she shares her experiences of growing up, love and work in her long life, as well as her unique thoughts on aging and death. Whether it's her spontaneous attitude towards relationships or her calm acceptance of life changes, it brings profound inspiration to the readers.

This book is like a mirror that allows readers, especially women, to see the possibilities of different stages of life, provoking deeper reflection on self-growth, life choices, and old age. For those who are eager to understand the inner world of celibate women and explore the meaning of old age, Twilight Will End is undoubtedly a rare work that leads readers into the world of Diana Assir and her wisdom and courage in the twilight.
