Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

I feel that the protagonist in each book has some mental problems, but the author describes it very carefully. The heroine of this book is affected by the environment. It is understandable to make plans for herself since she was a child. No one has taught her or cared for her. It is already very difficult to live. Later, she was discovered because of poisoning and was raped by a man. The heroine was imprisoned, had a mental breakdown (stress?), Had a child, could not fall in love (postpartum depression?), And thought that if she died, it would be better for everyone. This was the best way the heroine could think of, so she agreed to leave even though she knew Feng had bad intentions. She felt that the heroine was also desperate at the time, no one could help her, and she was tortured by guilt. , Denying his previous actions (working hard to climb up, having enough food and clothing, but poisoning the male protagonist because he thought the princess saved her life, giving birth to a child who wanted to use it as a life-saving talisman and finding out that he was wrong, etc.) And having a death wish. All of this is actually logical when you think about it. The author has a better grasp of the thoughts of this kind of people. Accurate and detailed descriptions, the heroines in these three books are actually similar, just like the black patch in front of the heroine's eyes in this book, the swarm of bees in the ears of the heroine Xiangkongshan (I seriously suspect that these heroines are suffering from "mental illness" and are affected by the environment). The heroines in ordinary concubines are also similar, but if you think about it carefully, they are not so bloody. All in all, this type of subject matter is very innovative and rare (I have little knowledge), the writing is very interesting, the author's writing style is good, and it is worth watching
Four stars! The heroine's experience has already revealed her awkward character. She has low self-esteem when it comes to relationships, but she longs for recognition. The scene where the child was crying and then given medicine was very funny. She was actually a little depressed. It was understandable, but she couldn't accept it. They have never experienced family affection since childhood, and no one taught them how to express their feelings to those close to them. One is arrogant and has a disdain for integrity; the other is a straight woman who is clumsy and has low self-esteem. Their love was a bit paranoid, but fortunately he reconciled with himself first and gave it a go to let her leave. It is said that those who are loved are confident, and it is true, although this kind of love is not very healthy. Maybe this is life: the moon waxes and wanes, and people have their joys and sorrows. When you let go of the past, stop internal friction, and achieve a better version of yourself, love others first and love yourself first. I hope everyone can express it boldly when facing the daughter they love, so as to avoid misunderstandings. After all, life is only a few decades, so there is no need to leave regrets...
They refused to forgive the girl who was lying on the ground fighting for food with the dogs, and they refused to forgive the little female guard who suffered so much just to survive. They each have their own identity, they are royal guards and children of aristocratic families. But Jiangxiang, you are just a helpless soul, not cruel enough, nor smart enough. If the people in the book really have an afterlife, I hope you don't need to meet love in the next life, and you will have parents, relatives and friends to talk to.
I read Xiang Kongshan before reading this book. However, after watching a little bit, I found that it was abridged like Hibiki Sorayama, so I ran to watch the full version. The full version is quite nice. I think the heroine is not trying to screw her, but she is afraid of death and wants to live (praise) and she repays her kindness. At the same time, she is also quite smart, and I admire her very much. She wanted to repay the life-saving grace and fell in love with the male protagonist at the same time. She didn't want to die herself, so she handled the whole thing in this state. In fact, she knew these noble people quite well, and she didn't think she had a future with the male protagonist, so she continued to avoid them in a confused way. In fact, when she gave birth to her baby, her feelings for the person who saved her when she was a child probably faded away (several dreams in them all have the meaning the author wanted to express) and then gradually came out. The male protagonist was pretty good from the beginning to the end. He didn't do anything wrong. In the middle part, if he were in the same position, he would have torn the spy and traitor into pieces. It can be said that he has been tolerating and working hard to improve. He is very affectionate. The heroines of this author are very interesting and unique.
King Huai should talk cross talk with Shaosheng next door. Crouching dragon and phoenix chick appear together, and the seats will definitely be packed.
After reading more than 70 chapters, I couldn't help but comment. Dazai Osamu's style is proven by his crazy criticism of literature, and Yu Hua's repetitive literature. The author must have read a lot of literary masterpieces [smile]
The author's writing style is really good, and the characters of the male and female protagonists are also very full-featured. Although they are both very awkward, one is a tsundere and weirdo, and the other is in love with her a long time ago, but she hasn't realized it yet. I was originally wondering why Jiangxiang fell in love with Chengsi and wanted to poison him, but later I understood. The whole story is very logical and rhythmic. Although some people say that the ending is a bit fast, I think it is good to leave a little space for people's imagination! ! ! In addition, I feel that the author's most powerful part is the psychological description, and the plot is also very unique. I am reluctant to read the rest of the book.
Jiangxiang's identity was first an assassin, then a slave, and then a prisoner after the incident. Although King Huai gritted his teeth and took her as a concubine, and later married her as a princess, their statuses were never equal. Only when Jiang Xiang was about to commit suicide did the domineering King Huai realize that the torture he had given her had caused Jiang Xiang to lose the ability to love. Fortunately, there are children, and fortunately, in the final rush to each other, Jiangxiang saw the most real, equal love after King Huai put away those arrogant horns. Ha, edges.
How can I put it, the female protagonist has many shortcomings, including her involvement in the male protagonist's misfortune, which is a bit hateful. When it comes to the female protagonist, the male protagonist is venomous but soft-hearted and has a bit of a love brain, and can guide herself. Hahaha, knowing that everything is the female protagonist, she is not too cruel to torture her. It is a bit sweet and funny at the beginning, but it is a bit sad at the end. However, the psychological problems of the female protagonist later are indeed caused by the male protagonist for revenge. In the later period, she feels hateful and heartbroken towards the female protagonist. I see a lot of people think the ending is rushed. Maybe it's the abridged version. It's good to change it like this. The rating is too low. I don't know why. It's much better than the long story... I hope the rating can go up. I like the male protagonist better in this book hahhahah
I stayed up late to finish reading it. The author wrote the love and hatred between the male and female protagonists vividly. First, the female protagonist caused the male protagonist to lose his legs, but he could not hate the female protagonist. Then, the male protagonist took revenge on the female protagonist, but he could not hate the male protagonist. While he felt sorry for the female protagonist, he also felt sorry for the male protagonist. The ending was very happy. Moreover, the female protagonist finally became the queen and was still a maidservant. It was quite good.
