Back to the Asura Arena: The Beauty Is Poisonous

The setting sun casts a mournful glow on the city walls, the bugle sounds a lament; Shen Garden is no longer the same as before. Heartbreakingly, the spring waves beneath the bridge are green, where once a fleeting beauty reflected her image. Forty years have passed since the dream ended and the fragrance faded; the willows of Shen Garden are old and no longer sway in the breeze.

I really like the male lead because he's the kind of guy who'd rather betray the whole world than betray the female lead. The second male lead is the same person—he'd rather betray the female lead than betray the world (both are great, but...).

This book has a very engaging plot! The characters are vividly portrayed, especially the female protagonist; her mystery and strength are truly admirable. The story is full of suspense and surprises, keeping me constantly wondering what will happen next. Furthermore, the emotional descriptions are very delicate, allowing me to experience the complexity and beauty of love. Overall, this is a very good novel, and I highly recommend it!

It's a pretty good novel, but I gave it four stars because the ending felt a bit rushed. I like the female lead's personality; she's not pretentious or long-winded, and she knows exactly what she wants. The male lead initially schemed against and used her quite a bit, and I almost thought he was the second male lead, but later he became genuinely good to her.

Which TV series is this? It feels like I've seen it before.

It's really good, and very tear-jerking 😢

It's beautiful, but it makes me want to cry. I don't know if I'm just too prone to crying or what.

Waaaaah, it's so good but also so heartbreaking 😢
