Have you heard of the romantic story of mermaids? Have you ever heard the moving poem "The moon in the sea sheds tears, and the warm sun in the Lantian jade produces smoke"? Can you imagine a love that has traveled through time and crossed boundaries like this? If you have ever imagined love. Love is exactly the same as life, there are always flowers and thorns together. If my love were a flower, I would embrace its beauty and fragrance; if my love were a thorn, I would embrace its sharp pain without hesitation. Because, when I embrace flowers, it is the beautiful fragrance that Wu Julan planted for me with his sweetness and smile; when I embrace thorns, his entire chest is already covered with thorns watered with his own blood. If our embrace can only be separated by thorns, then I am willing to hold him tighter and harder! Even if the thorns pierce my skin and pierce my heart, as long as I can be closer to him, closer!

A very beautiful, romantic and lasting love story! Although it is short, it shows the greed, kindness, tolerance and loyalty of human beings! But this is the epitome of our human life. It is the hardest thing in life to meet someone who treats you sincerely and whom you truly love. Whether it is human or non-human, having it is the happiest thing in a person's life.
It's interesting to see Mr. Tonghua's first he novel. It tells more than just the story of humans and mermaids. The foreshadowing and reversal of the story are very interesting. The most impressive thing is the penultimate chapter's views on whether love will make selfish people selfless or selfless people selfish. It is also thought-provoking. If Shen Luo chooses to return the things, the ending be may have a hint of other flavors. But Teacher Tonghua said that "aq will make the selfless people selfish, the brave people cowardly, the kind people greedy, and the stupid people cunning." The narrative here gives the story another ending. No regrets are left behind. I don't be for the sake of being. I don't be for the pursuit of making people unhappy. The first book I read by Mr. Tong Hua was Sauvignon Blanc. Now I completely understand Xiang Liu.
I think this book deserves 10 points. This is my favorite romance novel. I always read it over and over again and always have different insights at different ages! I personally think it is worth collecting, so I also bought a paper version for my collection.
Love is companionship, discussion, and respect. Instead of sacrificing yourself, stand on the commanding heights and do something for your own good.
Coherent, concise, accurate and vivid.
Tonghua's books are like a pool of water, calm and clear. My favorite book may not think of it, but my favorite book must have its place.
Cherish the time and love boldly, no matter whether it brings pain or harm to each other. The main theme of this book is to follow your heart. I like it very much. I am a person who pursues what I like without leaving any regrets to myself, but this book still touched me a lot. Think not only from the enthusiastic side, but also from the receptive side. Love is a matter of two people.
So, in the end, the mermaid gave up her lifespan, and the girl didn't return the bead to him? Why don't I understand [face covering]
I have been crying 😭 since I first came into contact with this book in elementary school, and then came back to review it from time to time. By this review, I thought I had let go of my sadness and regret, but I still broke through when I read the end. When I was a child, I was naive and did not understand the meaning of the ending. It was only after I rewatched it in middle school that I realized that the ending was also cruel. The two people who loved each other actually told us in a subtle way that they would eventually have to face separation at the time they loved most. I still remember that night when I huddled in the quilt and cried. To this day, I still cry for them while reading, especially in the last chapter where I continue to break the defense. But there is no perfect solution in the world. Although they could not stay together for a lifetime, they had the purest and most sincere love for each other and had a "happy time". And Wu Julan and this love will always stay in Shen Luo's life, stay in that island courtyard, stay in my memory, always fresh and always gentle. Also, I want to say that Shen Luo is not an excellent camera used to record Wu Julan. She is also very good, very, very good! She is a very good girl!
I am really happy after reading it. I like the ending of Wu Julan and Shen Luo very much. I couldn't accept the ending of the TV series at first. The novel has an open ending which makes me feel better. It makes me think about the future life of Shen Luo and Wu Julan!

Use three nights of leisure to finish reading this story on another platform.
When I closed the page, I was left with a pure warmth in my heart - a beautiful fairy tale worth reading.
I have never been a fan of Tonghua's heroines, but I have to admit that her writing never disappoints. This time, she still uses delicate narrative to vividly unfold the light and dark aspects of human nature.
This is undoubtedly a beautiful fairy tale, but it is a little shorter and the plot is a little simpler. Some of the twists and turns can be predicted before they happen. You can also read some references to other works in the book, such as "Sauvignon Blanc", "Twilight"... Etc. Due to some familiar plots and characters, it is inevitable to feel confused while reading: Isn't this another version of Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao? (Of course, such an association is not advisable.)
What surprised me the most was that in the ending, the virgin heroine did not return the spirit bead to the hero. But the open ending leaves endless blank space for the story, allowing people to imagine.
Dwelling in the blue, staying deep in the blue, sinking into the snail and hearing the sound in the snail.
I hope we can all meet that sea of stars in our own time and space. [Love]
Very nice, I have read the physical book before.
I like it very much: The one who gives needs courage, and the one who accepts dedication also needs courage.
The plot of this book is very romantic, and the love written by Tong Hua is always so unforgettable. I particularly like the male protagonist Wu Julan, he is very charming. However, I kind of hate the Grim Reaper in the book, I always thought he was a bit spooky. Tonghua's writing is very beautiful and can always bring people into the world she creates. This book made me think more about love, and I recommend you read it.
This is the second time I have read this. The love written by Tong Hua is touching, unforgettable, and imaginative... The heroine Xiaoluo's persistence and bravery in love has a happy ending! Wonderful work!
The content is compact and fascinating. I can't stop watching it. I love Xiaoluo so much.
It's so unforgettable that I can't forget it for a long time. It's so uncomfortable.
I have almost written all my fantasies about the sea. I have heard many mermaid legends, allusions and so on. Very well written, I really hope they can be together forever
I want to see the sequel. What will happen next after the second part is released?
Two lonely souls met and redeemed each other, but fate only allowed them to be together for a short time. Wuwuwuwuwu, I feel sorry for Shen Luo and Wu Julan. This is a story that will touch my heart for those details after reading it several times.
Such a good book has such a low rating, and the true love is so touching [I almost cried]
Worth a look. Without the Soul Pearl, would Wu Julan's lifespan be shortened? It's still death. Hasn't it been with you for more than a hundred years?
Beautiful love fairy tale
A beautiful love story that lasts until death. In the book, Shen Luo and Wu Julan redeem each other, and their concept of love is thought-provoking. The open ending leaves people wondering.
I really like a sentence in the book: "The one who gives needs courage, and the one who accepts dedication needs even more courage."
Wu Julan voluntarily gave up his eternal life so that his beloved could continue to live.
Personally, I feel very good, but Wu Julan is missing in the ending, and I feel really depressed after reading it. I got to know this novel through a TV series seven or eight years ago. I was young at the time, and I didn't know it was a TV series adapted from the novel. I have just read the novel now, and this is already the second time.
The author's books are still as beautiful as ever! Great writing!
This article is still very beautiful, and it explains love perfectly.
I don't understand, is the male protagonist dying?
I read it all in one day, and I'm still not satisfied with it. Do you have any recommendations for similar novels?
Very very beautiful! ! ! !
The ending is great too! ! !
It's so good-looking. I like Tonghua myself.
As expected of a well-known writer, very beautiful
I like the poetic writing style that describes such a pure, sincere and beautiful love story!
A great book. Tong Hua's works are as beautiful as ever, but I just didn't understand it in the end? Are you discussing life and death? Why is there a sudden wedding? How did they save each other?
