I really like the love between Wan Zhen'er and Zhu Jianshen. I particularly admire it. In that dynasty, love could break through class and age. I have a strong crush on affectionate men. Wan Zhener is beautiful and smart.
It's really good-looking, equivalent to watching half of the history of the Ming Dynasty. Even people who are not interested in history will enjoy it. The heroine has experienced three emperors and four dynasties, with ups and downs, and has created a "Wan Zhen'er" that is different from the one in movies and TV shows. There are also three emperors in the extra story, which is very enjoyable to watch. I thought it would be very frustrating, but it turned out to be very enjoyable! The author's writing style is very good, and the first-person perspective is fascinating. If you want to read this piece of history or this love story, you can't miss it.
This book made me see a different Wan Zhen'er, heartbroken for her love with Xianzong. Life is not easy. She is well-dressed, intellectual, and generous. At the same time, she lamented Wang Zhi's life, and shed tears for the mother-child love between him and Zhen'er. Susu and Qianqian were two loyal and clear-minded people. Finally, it broke my superficial understanding of Xiaozong and Empress Zhang's life as a couple. It can be seen that the author really understands history very well, and deserves praise.
Looks good, Wan Zhen'er witnessed the change of dynasties, and finally welcomed the love of her life. The relationship between her and Zhu Jianshen, who were more than ten years apart, moved me. Even though the world's evaluation of her was very poor, it did not affect their relationship. Moreover, her strength, intelligence, and hard work made me see a different Wan Zhen'er.
It can definitely be made into a TV series. It's very interesting. Concubine Wan Guifei and Zhu Jianshen are always criticized because of their age difference. I think it's because their souls resonate so closely that they can fall in love with each other regardless of any barriers.
History books often tell stories with stereotypes, placing all blame on women. Wan Zhen'er has always been stigmatized as a "demon concubine who brought harm to the country" in traditional records, and I think the best part of "Wan Zhen'er, the Beloved Concubine of the Ming Dynasty" is to break through the impression Wan Zhen'er has given people, tearing up this layer of clothes wrapped in prejudice, and clarifying this deep friendship born of suffering and companionship through the loopholes in historical records. Wan Zhen'er was no longer a "jealous wife" but a beam of light in Zhu Jianshen's dark years; Zhu Jianshen's special favor was not the obsession of a faint king, but his understanding of "preciousness" after going through changes in world affairs. In terms of plot, the author appropriately combines palace intrigue with love stories. The turmoil in the court became a test of their relationship, and their stay together added a touch of warmth to the cold palace history. There is no bloody palace fighting plot, but more of a steady flow of companionship. Such a good book should be something that everyone must read in their lifetime!
This is a good book. The characters in it are flesh and blood, and the plot is not forced. It made me feel as if fate had really come to this book, and everything happened naturally. But it is also painful, and perhaps it is true that it is accompanied by pain. Wan Zhen'er has gained a lot, friendship, love, family, etc., But the biggest feeling after reading the book is the pain of "not being allowed" that penetrates the heart but cannot be avoided. In life, one must be like Wan Zhen'er, always tenacious, no matter the wind blows, the rain blows, the waves surge, the boat will follow its heart's desire and reach the end.
The writing is very good and Qianlong clarified it. Although Qianlong also liked the queen. But the Rich Cha family is not you from the Zhang family.
This is the second best novel about the Ming Dynasty that I have read after "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". I read the whole book from beginning to end without missing a word.
The language is simple and unpretentious, the emotional descriptions are delicate, the characters' fates are ups and downs, and it's fascinating. It's a very good novel. It's my favorite Ming Gong novel. I hope there will be other works. Thanks to the author for his kind devotion. [OK][OK][OK] What a brilliant masterpiece, I can't get enough of it, it's so good.
