[Historical fantasy contest entry]
They first met at Qu Aiyun’s first-birthday banquet. The blunt little boy Lan Yi looked at the tiny white dumpling in front of him and blurted out, “Little sister, you’re so chubby!” Qu Aiyun looked at the handsome boy and grumbled inwardly, What a shame. He’s so handsome, but he has a mouth.
Ten-year-old Lan Yi held his mother’s corpse in his arms, his eyes so cold they seemed about to freeze solid. His hatred for his father grew deeper and deeper. Isn’t today my birthday too? Why does only that son of a concubine get a birthday celebration? Mother... she’s never coming back... It’s all that man’s fault!
As Qu Aiyun studied, a voice suddenly rang in her head. “Host, the villain’s corruption level is rising fast. Hurry and stop him!” Qu Aiyun paused, brush in hand, and whispered, “System?”
The mechanical voice grew more urgent. “Yes! There’s no time! Host, go find Lan Yi first. He’s in a terrible state!”
...And so, guided by a certain System (which tricked and conned her), Qu Aiyun began the long journey of saving the villain.
Every day, Qu Aiyun took meticulous care of the little one, afraid he might turn evil at any moment. But one day, she looked down at the arms wrapped around her and froze. What the heck? Little one, let go of me!
Lan Yi’s answer: “No way. Not in this life!”
This book is actually quite realistic in many ways, and the emotional issues it addresses are very relatable. While it can't be perfect in every way, Nan Chen's story is definitely somewhat heartbreaking. Keep up the good work, author! ^0^
Nan Chen's feelings for Lan Yi were something I never expected, but they're probably what I thought! The book is great, author, keep up the good work, looking forward to your next book! ┈┈┈┈▕▔╲┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈▏▕┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈▏▕▂▂▂┈ ▂▂▂▂╱┈▕▂▂▂▏ ▉▉▉┈┈┈▕▂▂▂▏ ▉▉▉┈┈┈▕▂▂▂▏ ▔▔▔▔╲▂▕▂▂▂▏ Thumbs up for you!!!
It's really good, but I cried while reading it because I felt there was a misunderstanding between Lan Yi and his father. You could tell from the fact that some of the young soldiers his father led were crying. Also, the system left, and I personally didn't want it to go; I felt really sad, but there was nothing I could do.
Well, this book is subtly heartwarming, and you'll feel a little reluctant to finish it. I really feel a bit heartbroken about Nan Chen's story! Anyway, I'm looking forward to your new book. Keep it up, author!
It's a good book; the content is very engaging.
Finished reading on August 13, 2021. Looking forward to your new works.
