respect history
It is a good thing to respect history and write it down. I hope the author will continue to work hard.
I really like ancient romance and palace-fighting books, but this one is unique and worth reading.
I like the heroine very much. She has her own ideas, is clear about love and hate, and protects her own shortcomings. Although it is said that there are only two people in a lifetime, a man has three wives and four concubines, but he sees clearly and has a heart for Buddhism. All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in a dream, and should be viewed as such.
Good,,,,,,,,
I have always been fascinated by this kind of book. I respect history and create my own works. No matter what, I hope the author will get better and better.
Come on, dear author
Is there anything that has not yet been written?
Why doesn't this book have an ending?
All deception, insult and injury are just the prelude to gentle compensation in this world.
To be honest, I thought it was pretty good, but it made me feel too depressed.
Come on, respect historical facts more
I quite like it, but it's too depressing. I especially like this passage: "All love will be reunited. It is impermanent and hard to come by. There are many fears in this life. Life is in danger from the morning dew. From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from the one you love, you will have no worries and no fear."
