It's late in spring in the lonely empty garden, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground but the door is closed. This life is still so long, but it is over.
From a personal perspective, I want to say something but it feels very heavy. I can't let it go even if I don't say it. I'm so entangled! On its own, the work is a good book with cultural heritage and the author's literary talent is outstanding! From the characterization point of view, it must be said that Linlang is a tragic character. She has lived her whole life in the calculations of others, but she was the one who was finally given up and sacrificed: she was also plotted by others when there were changes in her family, and she was living under the roof of her grandmother's house. Even when she met someone she was in love with, she was still betrayed. The scheme entered the palace, and it was impossible to escape the harem. Even the empress dowager, who was kind to her, eventually schemed against her and pushed her into a state of eternal damnation. What ended her life was the emperor who was the only one she relied on in this four-way cage. She was the one who gave up on her two relationships in the end. Linlang, what a beautiful name and such a good person, but it was fate! Family feud Weixue ends in depression! The royal family was mercilessly hurt but it was innocent lives and crimes!
If life is just like the first meeting... The words and plot, the first meeting between Rong Ruo and Linlang, really have the feeling of Dream of Red Mansions. My heart is small and I can only love one person in my life... Love is very true, but I can never give you what you want... The writing is beautiful and classical, the objects and scenery are described in a delicate and moving way, and the various feelings and emotions are rich and varied, making the heart and liver tremble helplessly... I finished reading it after not sleeping all night, and I made a decisive decision to end the middle-aged couple sleeping in separate rooms with my husband ~ A truly loving couple must be together all the time [laughs] Please supervise me so that I don't fall asleep while reading [laughs awkwardly]
This book requires you to calm down and read it. There were too many last resorts, even the emperor was like this. He loved so deeply, but couldn't love her. That's why the pain in his wrist made her so sad on the night she left, right? The heroine is so cold, self-denying and intelligent. Is it because she has unforgettable experiences that she can withstand the prosperity and desolation of the world? Life is only a few decades, how many people can live casually? I like Nalan Xingde's poignant and poetic philosophy. I don't know what kind of vicissitudes I have experienced before I can understand so many beautiful poems that make people cry. I like such a wise author, who can only write such wonderful words after reading thousands of books, right?
Linlang's life was rough, she couldn't love her, and the two people who loved her couldn't love her either. She not only has superficial feelings for Rong Ruo, but also has a deep-seated admiration for her. Although she also has some admiration for the emperor, it seems more of a helpless act to protect herself. The emperor also loves her but cannot get it. He is tired of fighting in the palace and uses others to protect Linlang. After fighting with Rong Ruo, she finally has no choice but to keep this love in her heart. The writing of this book is beautiful, every word is fragrant, and the poems in each chapter are really amazing. It is different from other novels and has a unique style. It is both entertaining and literary. It is a very wonderful novel and is worth recommending.
It's a very old book, and I also know there is a TV series. This is my first time reading it. The writing is beautiful, but Qingjun always feels helpless and worried at the beginning. It always feels like it won't be a good outcome. As expected, I am a be [covering my face] with a lot of emotions. There are always so many unsatisfactory things, so many mistakes and circumstances, and so many things that I can't control. Maybe it was Linlong who really couldn't let go like that. Some people are sinister and some are deeply affectionate. In short, it can still be seen that the author's writing skills are solid. I praise it as a good book and it leaves a lasting impression on my teeth and cheeks after reading it! It is suitable for watching quietly and slowly experiencing the flow of various emotions. Isn't it true that everyone in the article has his or her own suffering? Enjoy other people's stories and live your own life!
I watched it once ten years ago, and I still shed tears when I watched it again this time. Bie Wo Si Cun's books always make people addicted to them.
I'm not willing to accept it. I've been left out for the rest of my life. Alas.
Alas, I have to say that this is a great article. There is no mention of sadness in every sentence, but every word is sad. There is no hoarse voice, no description of tragedy, but it makes people shed tears.
First of all, the name is very nice. I was attracted by it. It is my favorite story of Nalan Rongruo. I have to read it. It is very well written. Really, but the ending is too tragic. None of the three people got a good ending feeling. But it is very poetic. Lonely Spring Garden is empty and longing is late. Good writing. Highly recommended.
