It's good. The beginning of the story is very heart-wrenching, but the later parts are very sweet, and the ending is hilarious. I've finished watching the Royal Butterfly Lovers series, and I want to see the story of the Fourth Prince, Xiao Fan. Nangong Tianque and Xiao Lei loved each other, but due to family feuds and national hatred, they were destined not to grow old together.
It came from Xiao Jingyu and his group; this one is pretty good too.
I read this book after finishing "Mulan Creek". The plot is quite good, but the female lead is a bit love-struck. The male lead kills all her family members, she kills an unborn child, and she feeds her own blood to another woman, among other things. Although the male lead isn't entirely willing, I still think it would be more exciting if the female lead were more dominant.
Sigh, actually, I really thought earlier: "The female lead shouldn't forgive the male lead. The hatred for the harm done to her family must be avenged, and it's unforgivable!" But the plot often goes like this: "The male lead may torment me a thousand times, but I will still love him as if it were my first love." Well... Overall it's alright...
Can someone who falls in love with the person who killed their parents truly be happy? They shouldn't be together.
Author, your writing is great! 👍👍 The story is complete and short, with a heart-wrenching beginning, a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative character in the middle, and the female lead's senior brother acting as a peacemaker. Finally, there's a wonderful dream sequence, making for a perfect ending. [Top Post]
Goodness, it seems I only watched the Xiao Jingyu and Mu Lanxi episodes two days ago, and today I already watched the Xiao Lei and Nangong Tianque episodes 😅
They killed the whole family and they can still be together? I've had enough. [Rolls eyes]
From the first chapter, you could tell it was the usual formula for a short, slightly angsty story: misunderstanding + amnesia for the female lead. And sure enough... It didn't disappoint. But short stories really don't take much time; I finished one in an hour, good for killing time.
It's good. Although I don't like the happy ending, I'm still giving the author five stars. I'm so understanding! 😳😳
