Any More Sophisticated Romance Novels?
No love at first sight, online romances, or lightning-fast relationships!! The writing must be good, no beginner-level amateur prose!! The protagonists need to have brains. Do not give me angsty romances!!!

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 🤦
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!
2026.02.02 Essay 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. ❤️
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!
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?
