The ending of the novel is too sad, but it fits the development of the plot. Only this sadness can withstand the desolation caused by Murong Feng's wrong choice. Emotionally, it also meets the price of "a slight difference makes a difference", which means that even emotionally, it is not careless at all, otherwise it is destined to end in tragedy. In comparison, I still prefer the changed logic, plot development and ending of the TV series. After all, I have the first impression. What's more important is the gratifying ending. After watching the drama first, and then reading the novel, I didn't feel bored. The author's literary skills are outstanding, and the language is coherent and comfortable. It's an excellent piece of work.
Many people don't like the be ending. I think it's quite reasonable. With Jingwan's firmness, she will definitely come back to accuse Murong of betraying her. No matter whether it costs her own life, she will carry a heavy cross on Murong's heart no matter what, and she will never be able to let it go. I agree with the author's arrangement. Since Murong easily betrayed Jingwan, married a wife and had children, lived without any guilt, and even found a substitute to comfort himself, how could he be so advantaged? He must be made to understand that he can have his cake and eat it too. How can a country and a beauty embrace each other? Since you choose this half of the country, good! I will help you, but you will also get a lifetime of loneliness and unspeakable pain...
There are countless choices in life, as long as you choose, don't regret it. It took eight years for Murong Feng to realize what he wanted. He missed Jingwan and Jinzhi. I also made a mistake. The writing is beautiful, and the panic, the faint temptation, the panicked escape, and the determined rush are all presented one by one. It makes people unable to bear to release the scroll and makes them sigh softly. It's a bit sadistic, but it fits the character very well and has its own persistence. A warlord in troubled times, a cool beauty. There are always things people should do and things they shouldn't do in life. Ten feet of soft dust, think twice before making a decision.
I feel a little down, and my feelings are deep and lifeless. . . Yin's father told Jingwan that Murong Qi was so unlucky that no matter how much experience others had, he would not listen to it and would not take it seriously. When Xu Jianzhang left, Jingwan also asked Murong Qi if he gave half of his country in exchange for her, would he be willing? Don't blame others for what you can't do yourself. You knew it at the time, but you must have been dazzled by love later. Many things are profound only after they have been experienced. If I had not escaped from marriage, I might have lived a mediocre life, neither happy nor miserable. . . .
After watching the TV series of the same name, I was still unsatisfied, so I read the original novel and found that the novel is really closer to life than the TV series. The concept of the TV series and the original work are slightly different. The TV series ends with the members of the group, while the original work shows that love in this era is ultimately a victim of war, and no one can control it. The author's writing style is very good, and it is reasonable for the novel to end tragically. This book, performed by the tragic little queen Ji Wo Sicun, depicts the ups and downs of love between life and death, and the language is poignant. It expresses the sorrow of love and leaves the unforgettable love in the hearts of the world.
Yan Shichang asked Dr. Wilson to break the last link between the two people, but as fate would have it, in the end the Sixth Young Master "killed" his daughter and his beloved with his own hands. It can be seen that letting go at the right time in love is also a success.
After watching the TV series of the same name, I felt that it was still unfinished, so I found the original book to read it! I feel that the concept of the TV series and the original work are slightly different. It should be said that the whole novel is very poignant and beautiful. The love between the protagonists Murong Feng and Yin Jingwan goes round and round, dividing and reuniting. The love is deep but also deeply hurt. But in comparison, Murong Feng's love is still too domineering and predatory, and it is not as pure as Yin Jingwan's love. He first used obscene threats to drive away Jingwan's childhood sweetheart Xu Jianzhang, and then gave up his promise to Jingwan by marrying into the Cheng family in order to seize the country. Although he was somewhat forced, he still severely hurt Jingwan who loved him deeply. This kind of selfish, predatory love ultimately makes people feel not affectionate enough. Look at Yin Jingwan in turn and look at her emotional journey. From the ignorant obedience to her childhood sweetheart when she was a girl to the real awakening of running away from marriage, it can be seen that she is a person who "decided to die without hesitation". In order to follow Murong Feng, she was not afraid of hardship, death, and infamy, but she paid the wrong price in the end. When Murong Feng announced in the newspaper that she gave up their relationship, and when she almost couldn't save the fetus and chose to leave resolutely, people could feel the determination of deep love and deep hatred. I just don't quite understand the author's handling of the ending. The reason why Yin Jingwan chose to leave resolutely was because she was heartbroken and didn't want to look back. Why choose to come back after eight years? This doesn't quite fit with her previous character. Just because Cheng Xinzhi wants to return to the Cheng family and make the Cheng family admit that they are a family? The Cheng family had all studied abroad and were not that old-fashioned in their thinking. How could they return to a place of sadness because of this? And knowing that Murong Feng still has lingering feelings for Yin Jingwan, how could he come back and let Murong Feng get entangled again? Personally, I feel that the plot at the end is not very reasonable. It seems that it is entirely to leave readers with a tragic ending of death. At the end of the novel, plots such as Yin Jingwan's return to the country, reunion with old friends, car accident of relatives, and tragic suicide in front of Murong Feng were deliberately arranged. If the author just wants to achieve the purpose of leaving readers with unfinished thoughts, maybe forgetting each other would be a better ending. Love, hatred, and past events are gradually forgotten, let go, and relieved as time goes by.
From the moment Doudou appeared, I knew she was Murong Feng's cub. Because according to foreign doctors, the heroine's body was so damaged that it was almost impossible to get pregnant. With the medical conditions at that time, even if I went to the United States, it would be impossible to get pregnant and give birth again in a short period of time. If Doudou was her and the second boy's child, according to the heroine's character, she should aim her gun at Murong Feng. She wants revenge for her husband and children. Only Doudou belonged to Murong Feng, so she could only kill herself. She wanted Murong Feng to completely lose the person he loved most (at least the male protagonist thought he was deeply affectionate), and let him live in the shadow of their death for the rest of his life. She should not expect to have peace of mind and peaceful years.
The author's writing is great! It is reasonable for the novel to end in such a tragic way. Jingwan has a strong personality and is not a person with a strong personality who can be deceived and trampled at will. How can a strong person tolerate betrayal? The ending of the novel is the inevitable result of Jingwan's personality. I like Jingwan and feel sorry for her decision, but only in this way can readers be shocked!
I recently watched the drama version of East Palace. Later I found out that the original author of the TV series I grew up watching and the original author of East Palace are the same person. The remake of the drama version is very good. I love both works and they are very sad. I still remember the gangster's sentence "... I will live with a thousand arrows piercing my heart..." 🤦
