The author's views are very upright. He not only writes books for the sake of writing books, but also creates rich characters. I like a sentence: As the plot unfolds, each character has his own thoughts. The book was brought to life. [Like] Will it really become a world in one place? The feelings of family and country, a weak country without diplomacy, I am really grateful to our motherland, we don't have to live with fear like our ancestors have done for generations, and we don't have to live with fear like people in other countries. It's great to live a normal life with your family, doing the things you love!
I think it's very good. The plot is not always sweet, but there are ups and downs. The male protagonist is not perfect and indestructible, and the female protagonist is not the kind of character who is out of touch with the era. In the end, it is HE. I think this book is at least 9.3 Or above. I recommend it.
It's so beautiful. Can the author give more information? [Shy][Admiration]
Why is such a good article rated so low? Both the host and the hostess have high standards and are great. The part about burning embroidery is so artistic. When we engage in art, we burn paintings. (No) The value of the artwork itself may not be as great as the artistic value of burning it, because the root of artistic value is the spirit, the height and motivating emotions behind it. This part even triggered a lot of thinking in me. All in all, it was written with great care and I think it is definitely worth nine points. Stop scolding the female lead. To be honest, this is a female channel. Maybe the main reason is that the male lead has too many highlights, but there is no need to scold the female lead. If you like to control the male lead, just watch the male channel. If you watch too many male yy videos, you will be honest. Behind a great male protagonist is the shaping of his spirit by women. To think that a male protagonist is good is essentially to be moved by the female soul that shaped him.
Yao and Qingshi are really good at crying. Qingshi's love for Yaoyao, who would give up everything just to keep her safe all year round, really moved me, as was his spirit of speaking for the dead. Yaoyao was the kind of ancient woman who was a little awakened at first, but she was still affected by some feudal ideas. Because Liu'er's arrival made her understand her own heart clearly. Yaoyao is brave and decisive. She will do what she wants when she understands her heart. She loves Heqing and goes to Ganzhou to chase him. Xiaoliu looks lazy, but she is free and warm to me inside. She is a willow leaf, full of life. She is willing to give up her life for freedom. Dong Jiyuan's appearance of knowing the world but not being worldly, He Qin's appearance of loving her daughter, Wen Su, Xu Shu, Dong Wenhui, Mei Nanzhi... They are flesh and blood. Not much else to say, I suggest you take a look! This is my first time writing a book review because this book is worth it.
Doesn't anyone feel that the plot is not detailed enough or even confusing? But it's really exciting
Please, really watch it. In addition, if you don't like the heroine, you can quit and don't post insulting remarks below. But when I think about it carefully, I'm afraid some people can only say this kind of thing. After all, people who don't even know how to quit, don't need me to say more, right? [Laughing]
The author's writing style is vigorous and the artistic conception of the text is so beautiful. There is not a single superfluous word in the whole article. The characters are very full. There are too many words to write about now. I like the author's writing style so much. Please write more. I will be exhausted after reading it [Love] [Love] [Love] I'm really not satisfied after reading this. The author should hurry up and start a new book [adoration][adoration][adoration]
The building is about to collapse, but the male and female protagonists have to turn the tide in the face of many crises. The difficulty can be imagined. The sense of depression and powerlessness in the book is sad. The author's literary literacy is very profound and admirable.
Well written! Why is the score so low? God cannot tolerate it! I think it can be added to my top Tomato book list. The characters are very full, each character is very distinct, the plot rhythm is well controlled and the emotional line is also very good. It must be worthy of a five-star rating. In fact, I was also looking forward to a modern side story, but I didn't get enough of it. Dong Shushen and Mei Heqing are the perfect match!
