A Concubine's Account

It's worth reading, but it's a bit too bland. Maybe that's just the female lead's personality, but looking at the author's list of works, it's always like that. Maybe the author is just mature, calm, clear-headed, world-weary, and detached. I quite like it, but I also feel that some emotions are too detached... Making the descriptions too pale and rushed.

Short and concise, with a clear narrative. The female protagonist seems to be an observer describing the stories of those around her. The story feels reminiscent of figures like Dorgon, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Shunzhi, and Consort Dong'e… but in the end, the observer abruptly cuts off the ending, thus missing the glorious moment of Emperor Kangxi's final ascension, and consequently, the story of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang… giving rise to a new narrative.

Regardless, the female lead is the big winner. As for whether the male lead loves her or not, I personally think it's not important. The male lead once saved the female lead when she had a strong will to survive, which made her life more vibrant, so it makes up for it. Her death can be attributed to the fact that everyone must die eventually. Death was a choice she made for herself.

She fulfilled what he dared not do; though not a fleeting memory, her love lingered.

Many people say that the female lead's behavior in the second half is illogical and strange, but I think it means that the female lead has truly come to her senses.

Wow, is this the female lead from a super satisfying novel? Killing two people at the end was so cool! Ah Shui is truly a rare and wonderful person. And Seventeen and Shi Liu are all so kind! She should live for herself and live happily with Ah Shui and the children. This prince is such a love-struck fool! How many people has he hurt for a woman who doesn't love him!

A few pages in a flash, and a lifetime is gone. I want to go back to my hometown and see the peach blossoms under the trees; my family must be there. As for him, since he never loved me, there's no need to force it. I am still me. Let's pretend none of this ever happened; I was just with my mother and the others. Life, ah, it always seems so fast, yet so long, when you look back.

It's quite good; a subtle sadness that pierces the heart. A short story. I finished it in no time. But afterwards, I felt strangely sad. I'm easily moved to tears, so I didn't cry, but it was good and I really liked it. Keep up the good work, author! I love your work! 😆

Time flows on, leaving Pingjing helpless. The characters are all very distinct, and the male protagonist never falls in love with the female protagonist. Although the female protagonist is weak, she eventually raises her sword.

It's good, the writing is excellent, why isn't it popular?
