neutral

How it works

This is a declarative sentence or clause expressing that long-term effort has yielded positive results. '多年' (many years) modifies '心血' (painstaking effort/hard work), indicating the duration. '没有白费' (méiyǒu báifèi) is the negative form of '白费' (to be in vain/wasted), meaning it was not wasted, hence it paid off. It implies success after a long period of dedication.
