P.S. This is a completely fictional dynasty, though its politics, culture, and clothing are based on the Ming dynasty. Please leave a comment if you spot anything inaccurate!
She is the only legitimate princess of the Kingdom of Dawei. He is her personal guard. Ten years beneath the Chinese flowering crabapple tree, from her seventh birthday to her seventeenth, passed with flowers blooming and falling in silence. With bloodied hands, he caught a falling white crabapple blossom and carried a candle through every furrow in her heart.
“I am nothing but a weed in the mud beneath these eaves, born in the mire and covered in filth. If I want to survive, I can only sink my roots deep into the muck.”
“Even if you reach for the moon and come away empty-handed, at least your hands won’t be covered in mud.”
“But in the end, I couldn’t become the shining moon Mother hoped I would be.”
“A Yue, in this world, there is someone who wishes you could simply be A Yue.”
It's quite good to watch, and it gets even better as you go to the back. The grievances between family and country, the same situation, the male protagonist and the second male lead have completely opposite choices. I think it's a pity that the author's writing style is placed on Tomato. It's about conveying values, not the kind of mindless and cool writing. And when I read some of the things she commented on, for the first time, I felt that one thing could be viewed dialectically, and the most controversial thing was about Nian Liu. I think it was because many people read Shuangwen and thought she should do what she thought. Otherwise, she would be stupid. But I feel like the heroine made her own choice there, so there's no problem. She felt that she was stupid for not treating Nian Liu as a sister. She did everything to make Nian Liu happy, and even hinted that the bad maid was harming her. Because happiness is a luxury for the heroine, she chose happiness for Nian Liu. In fact, Nian Liu must die for the heroine's growth. The heroine is not perfect, she is just a sixteen-year-old girl who is forced to mature prematurely. The male protagonist is not a serious domineering character. The characters created by the author are quite complicated, including the relationship between the emperor and the emperor. I was deeply touched. There are many hints in the article about character. The definition of good and bad people is no longer simple good and evil. Love is not about loyalty, but about giving and taking.
This book is really good, but it's so painful to wait for the update. The heroine and the hero are both sober, and there is no bloody misunderstanding. Many words are like waking up the dreamer with one sentence. The author, please don't be a eunuch 😢
Check every day to see if there are any updates. The waiting is both blissful and painful.
