The author has very sound values and doesn't just write for the sake of writing; the characters are very well-developed. I like this quote: "As the plot unfolds, each character develops their own thoughts." This brings the book to life. 👍 Could it truly become a world of its own? A deep sense of national pride and patriotism is essential.
I think it's great! The plot isn't always sweet, but it has its ups and downs. The male lead isn't perfect and invincible, and the female lead isn't detached from the historical context. It also has a happy ending. I'd give this book at least a 9.3 or higher. I recommend it.
It's so good! Author, can you please update more? 😳🥰
Why is such a good article rated so low? The male and female protagonists are both portrayed as very high-minded and great. The scene of burning the embroidery was so artistic. When we do art, we burn paintings, don't we? The value of the artwork itself may not be as great as the artistic value of burning it, because the essence of artistic value is spirit, the height behind it and the inspiring…
Yao and Qingshi are truly heartbreaking. Qingshi's love for Yao, willing to give up everything just to ensure her safety year after year, really moved me, especially his spirit of speaking for the dead. Yao initially appears as a somewhat awakened ancient woman, but she's still influenced by some feudal ideas. Liu'er's arrival helps her understand her own heart.
Doesn't anyone think the plot is a bit disorganized or even lacks detail? But it's definitely very exciting.
Please, please, you really have to watch it. Also, if you don't like the female lead, you can leave; please don't post insulting comments. But thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid some people can only say things like that. After all, I don't need to say anything more to people who don't even know how to exit, right? 🤭
The author's writing is profound, the imagery is beautiful, and there isn't a single superfluous word. The characters are incredibly well-developed. There's so much frivolous writing these days; I absolutely love this author's style. I hope they write more books; I'll be starving for something to read after finishing this one! ❤️❤️❤️ I really wanted more after reading this! Author, please start a new book soon! 🥰🥰🥰
The building is on the verge of collapse, yet the male and female protagonists must turn the tide amidst numerous crises; the difficulty of this task is unimaginable. The sense of oppression and helplessness in the book is heartbreaking. The author's profound literary skill is admirable.
This is so well-written! Why is the score so low? It's outrageous! I think it deserves a place on my Tomato top reading list. The characters are well-developed and each one is distinct. The pacing of the plot is excellent, and the emotional storyline is also quite compelling. It definitely deserves five stars. Actually, I'm also looking forward to a modern-day spin-off. I haven't had enough! Dong Shushen and Mei Heqing are the perfect match!
