If Yi Chun was a devil, then Nangong Mo was an angel, for he possessed every tenderness a woman could dream up.
"When the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold," she explained her name.
"Flowers bloom along the road," he said, explaining the meaning behind his name.
Thirteen years of guilt toward Pei'er, of having let his family down, of hatred for Yi Chun, and of indulging himself had all come down to this: Let go of resentment and hatred, and each find their own happiness. It began with peaceful, beautiful days and ended with bones buried in yellow earth.
Nangong Mo had once thought that wherever Yi Chun went, if she lived, he would search all across China, and if she died, he would dig three feet into the earth. He would make sure to vent the hatred in his heart.
He had thought women were merely a seasoning on the road to a man's ambition and grand plans. If one didn't suit his taste, he could simply find another.
He never expected that seasoning to remain delicious for a lifetime, something he would savor gladly.
I started reading this from my younger brother's work. The first few chapters had a lot of characters, so I skipped around and started reading from the middle. Around chapter 60, things became much clearer, and I understood the intricacies of the four major families. There were foreshadowing elements regarding the Crown Prince and Elder Mu. 💕💕 Highly recommended! After reading this, the Crown Prince's story will be much clearer. Looking forward to my second brother and Pei'er's new work!
I came from Nangong Ze's novel. I read over 180 chapters, the part about New Year's greetings, and realized there were too many characters. I felt it necessary to read the prequel before starting to read the story of Yi Chun, the sister-in-law. After finishing it, I have to say Yi Chun's life was too tragic. She endured eighteen years of misery. It felt like a story where everyone was a villain; no one was sincere, and everyone had their own ulterior motives and hardships. The story was filled with sadness, and everywhere was shrouded in mystery. Many plot holes remained unresolved, such as who saved Yi Chun and what their motives were. It's clear this is indeed the author's first work; the narrative pacing and writing style have much room for improvement. I highly recommend Nangong Ze's stories to those who can accept dual male leads; the writing style and literary flair have improved dramatically.
The male lead has several identities, while the female lead is intelligent and ruthless, scheming in various ways to seek revenge. Because of the grudges of the previous generation, one was sent to the mountains for ten years, and the other was trapped by hatred and guilt for ten years. The male lead suffers, and the female lead suffers too. Everyone in this story seems to be quite miserable, with their own things that they can't get and can't let go of.
The female lead is so pitiful, and the male lead is so pitiful too. Human nature is so complex; it was heart-wrenching to watch! All the characters are unique, but the one with the deepest mark is actually Bai Mo; he's done so much for the female lead.
It's a really good read. It's rare for me to be able to stick with the main couple in a romance novel; I usually prefer the second male lead. In this book, Nangong Mo and Yi Chun are a perfect match.
The author's first book!! ⬆️!
From the previous few books
It's visually appealing, the content is clear, and the character designs are engaging.
Although it was written early on, the content and logic are impeccable. I absolutely love your writing! 😄
