Qianshan Chake Writes So Well, I Can't Enjoy Any Other Historical Fiction

It is recommended that you like to read this kind of real ancient novels. I really hate the popular time travel, rebirth, and golden finger. The author's writing is so good. Even though I am half-literate, I have to think about it every time I read it.
Only this one of the four Wounded Kingdom movies is the sweetest. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Hua and Xie Changyan always saw that they were really good to each other.
It's really hearty, the characters are vivid and full, and there's really a lot of foreshadowing. Zhanghua can be regarded as a guiding lover. Xie Changyan really grew up very fast. His wife was raised by him. How could he not love the rose he raised? Unfortunately, the emotional scenes are a bit lacking. The growth path of the heroine and the interaction with the male protagonist in the early stage are very interesting. The presence of the heroine in the later stage is reduced a lot. It is not as good as the previous one. Plus there are too many twists and turns in the later part, giving people a sense of exhaustion. But overall, it is still very interesting. Nowadays, online novels cannot be compared with this one.
I really love the picture of the country in trouble, and I decided to insist on reading the four books. I saw Ji Ying and Xue Cai [crying]. The story itself is very complete, the male and female protagonists are very sweet, and the emperor and empress walking hand in hand are great.
The scenery of that night seen in Tubi is a completely different scenery here. Seeing the high-spirited Xue Cai here, I had a different feeling. Fortunately, there was not so much love in this book that I couldn't help myself. Relatively speaking, it is easier, Ruyi is that interesting kid, what a pity.
The novels that I stayed up late to finish have rich characters. Such novels are excellent.
The plot is full of ups and downs, with constant twists and turns. I am addicted while reading and cannot stop at all. Every image in the group portrait novel is very vivid and independent. As a reader, I not only like the male and female protagonists, but also like Meng Buli's loyalty and sympathy for his experience. I admire Qiu Jiang's ability. I like the innocent Ruyi and the smart Jixiang. I also regret Ruyi's departure. I like Hui Wei's ignorance of the world and her intelligence. I like Gong Shuwa's impetuous character. She likes Feng Xiaoya, who is highly skilled in martial arts, and also likes Zheng Duanwu, who is also highly skilled in martial arts. She laments the impermanence of fate. Different people have different experiences and different starting points. The emperor's last resort to turn the chaos around quickly laid the foundation for disaster. Xiao Zhanghua's determination detonated the hatred of the eldest princess, and a series of conspiracies unfolded... Looking back, everyone has their own reasons for what they do, and everyone has a last resort.
This is the best novel I have read in the past year. I like the author's detailed descriptions of characters, moods, scenery, scenes... Frame by frame, it's like watching a movie. I have read too many fast-food novels. No matter how twists and turns the plot is, if it loses the delicate details, it will be like a skinny beauty who will never be able to reach the level of elegance. Not to mention that this novel has rich characters, interesting twists and turns in the story, solid writing skills, and profound literary skills. It is really a book worth reading again and again. I believe that I will follow in the footsteps of this author and continue to read this exquisite work.
The author is really talented in literature and has a solid writing skills in poetry and books. Although I only accidentally read this one story, I actually found that there are several books that are connected with the characters in the story. When I read the other books, I can connect the entire huge story system. The descriptions of the characters are really penetrating, and the book is so good at telling stories, so it is truly a rare good book to be published. Highly recommended, I read it in two days, and next I want to read a book in which the supporting character in this book is the protagonist in several other books!
It's a very good book. The story in the book has ups and downs and is exciting. It makes people unable to put it down and makes them eager to read on to find out what it is all about. The characters in the book have distinct personalities, including the brave, responsible and elegant Mingjun Emperor Zhanghua, the smart, bold and careful Xie Changyan, the witty, brave, skilled, bold, romantic and suave yet loyal minister Feng Xiaoya and Youdao. There are responsible, skilled and informal Gongshu Frog, as well as loyal servants such as Bujibujian and Jixiang Ruyi who possess unique skills. Their integrity and loyalty helped to achieve the great cause of a powerful country for a generation of emperors [like] [like] [like]. I first watched "Return" to search for it, and then continued to watch another "Tubi"
