That day You use the hands of a master carver to carve out a lifetime of affection Carved into the solemn treasure of Bodhisattva I prayed in front of Bodhisattva over and over again Bodhisattva, can you allow me We will be well in the next life
Life is not easy, the world is full of tastes
The plot of this book is well designed and does not follow popular ideas, but it also allows people to experience the various tastes of life and the cruelty of reality.
Looks good😶😶😶Compared to those presidents who traveled through time and space, it's really different👍👍👍
Every decision a person makes has an immeasurable impact on time
It finally took me 4 days to read the entire book. While I was reading, I couldn't help but want to write down some of my own thoughts. The more I read, the more I felt that the little sprout in my mind was not enough to express it. The ending is open-ended and will satisfy everyone. Insights: The era described in the book seems to be a long time ago to us. Whether it is the entanglement of Ma Liu and Liu Zhang of the previous generation or the entanglement of Liu Shi of the later generation, it seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is just the reincarnation of cause and effect. No one is perfect, and in this lifetime, some things can go wrong, and some things really cannot go wrong. Regardless of whether it is love or family relationships, they all need care and management. You may really not know how long a momentary decision or behavior will affect you, or the impact will be longer... Think twice before doing anything. You live your life not only for yourself, but also for your family, relatives and friends...
worth reading
After reading it, I became even more fascinated by Xiangxi.
Very story-telling
Xiangxi, a mysterious place deep in the mountains.
There are several meanings behind the lock in the chapters. I paid to read the book, but after reading it, I didn't want to read the second half.
What do you mean, I paid to read the book, but the later chapters are locked and not allowed to be read?
Understand the meaning of "Secret History"
Still a story. There are regional characteristics, but the authoritative geometry is not known. It's okay to just take a look.
Not bad, worth reading.
The characters and styles are very unique, and the story of the girl is also very compact, not loose or overly complicated.
