“Clouds long for her robes, flowers for her face; the spring breeze brushes the railing, and dew gleams in their radiance.” People love beauty, and no one can escape the bonds of the mortal world. Yet all she needs is a brush, ink, and a living human skin to create a beauty capable of captivating an entire kingdom. But the past comes rushing back, stirring up layers of mystery in Wandu and drawing her, newly arrived in the capital to search for someone, into it all. The traces of the former dynasty’s Ten Forbidden Arts hidden in the fog leave her deeply unsettled. These tangled mysteries bind her inseparably to the Dali Temple. As memories buried for years gradually unfold, they reveal forbidden arts evil enough to destroy the entire Great Wan dynasty. And what story lies behind the wrongful deaths of the ancestors who passed down the former dynasty’s Ten Forbidden Arts?
After reading it the first time, I never dared to read it again. Even now, rereading it, I still feel it leaves behind too many regrets and too much sorrow. The endless cycles of reincarnation, the countless stories—for Song Jin, when will it ever end? For Mu Ziyu, it's a missed opportunity; for Chang Ge, it's not being able to be with Song Jin forever.
It's a story spanning three lifetimes. Song Jin is Gu Baijin, who is Su Yi; Shen Wenqing is Changge, the city lord; Mu Ziyu is Mei Jun; and Wenren Jue is Luo Chen (or possibly Shen Chen, I'm not sure). After reading it, I felt a little regretful. Jin Jin experienced so much—hundreds of years of tumultuous life, the changing of the seasons. Perhaps immortality really isn't a happy thing.
The classical Chinese text remains as peaceful and gentle as ever, bringing tranquility to the heart. The various emotions described in the book resonated with me. I envy the protagonist for having so many good friends around him, and I hope that one day I can also become someone who can help those around me, instead of always being alone.
The atmosphere is beautiful ❤️, it's super pretty 🥰, you won't regret getting into it 👍
It's very good, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the plot is also good.
