Love stories in the Republican era were mostly tragic. Perhaps if they had met earlier, everything would have been different, but they both had their own ideals. Meeting the right person at the wrong time is a tragedy, but fortunately, there is still the chance to meet, get to know each other, and fall in love. No matter the outcome, the journey itself is enough.
It's so good, I cried so much! The story of Shen Bincheng and Gu Qingwan inevitably reminds me of the countless revolutionaries who sacrificed themselves for China. For their country, they gave up their personal relationships and devoted themselves to the nation without hesitation, even sacrificing their lives. Gu Qingwan is the epitome of an independent woman.
There are bound to be shortcomings in my writing, and I welcome everyone's criticism and suggestions. However, please read politely and refrain from personal attacks. Writing takes effort, so please understand. Thank you for reading!
The book features three weddings, but during the ceremonies, the brides Gu Qingwan, Chu Ling, and Shen Nuoxiang are all unhappy. They are marrying men they do not love. In that era, women's marriages and destinies were not in their own hands.
This is the only novel set in the Republican era that isn't a fictional setting. The ending is tragic, but the epilogue is sweet. It tells the love story of Gu Qingwan, an orphan whose parents are tragically killed by betrayal by a close relative, and Shen Bincheng, a man with deeply ingrained feudalistic ideas who also has surviving parents.
The book is excellent, the story is captivating, and I hope that Marshal Shen and Gu Qingwan will soon live happily ever after. Many readers are guessing the ending will be tragic, but I think it should be happy, after all, it's a romance novel.
Author, please update soon! I really like this storyline, and I hope it won't be too angsty.
I've finished the whole book. The ending is probably a tragic one. However, the author likely wrote a side story to fulfill the readers' wishes and the wish that the male and female protagonists had a romantic relationship from the beginning. Actually, didn't the male protagonist and his entire army die fighting for their country?
I felt very sorry for the female lead in this book because I put myself in her shoes... But the author also mentioned that the male lead would change later on. God: Let's talk about how to destroy the world instead. (◦`~´◦)
They all upheld their beliefs. It's said that warlords were products of the old era, but what could they do in the social context of the time? Ultimately, the beliefs of all revolutionaries became reality, the warlords defended their homelands, the wars of the old era ended, and they, too, perished with the old era.
