Amid the endless mortal world, who is destined to remain whose unchanging dream in this life? And who will ride alongside whom, galloping across the land? Once you enter the world of brothels, there's no escaping its endless strife. Bai Chulian never wanted to flee. After eighteen years in that world, all she sought was a peaceful life. In the end, for the sake of her mother's first dream of Jiangnan, she sacrificed her youth and gave her life away. They had promised: even if the world despised her and all under heaven mocked her, she would leave her lowly status behind and marry into the Weng family. Yet for her mother's sake, she traded it for the status of a respectable commoner and became a princess by proxy. She would cherish her husband if she loved him, and suffer if she did not. For his sake, she was even willing to become a cast-off princess, wanting nothing, competing with no one, and receiving no favor. She had hoped for a quiet life, content with one heart devoted to one person for a lifetime. But in the end, her love was stolen, and she married a rake, sharing one husband with another woman. Perhaps this marriage would bring her only a life half spent in separation and half tossed about by hardship.
This book is the most depressing book I have ever read, and it is also the most transparent book I have ever read. From the beginning, I knew that the maids next to the princess were the prince's creations, but I did not expect that they would marry with their fingers. This book is also the novel I read that made me cry from beginning to end. At first, I didn't think this novel was very good. I fell deeply into it as I read it. My partner said that I was sick and couldn't extricate myself from reading a novel. I understood why Leslie Cheung played Mei Lanfang and couldn't extricate myself from the pain. I cried myself to sleep while reading the novel last night.
Not bad, the writing is a bit cowardly and sad
Nice. Finish a book in one day
