Really cried to death. The heroine was obviously a cynical eldest princess in the early stage, but someone taught her righteousness and character. So after the fall of the country, she struggled to survive. Maybe she was no longer the carefree princess she was before, and could no longer do what she wanted to do freely, but she really did what a princess should do and had the world in mind. She may have become suspicious and crazy, but she still has good thoughts in her heart, and all she wants is the prosperous life of Hai Qinghe and Yan Yi. The characters in it are all very successfully depicted. Both male protagonists are very awesome, and their plot is full of twists and turns, making it feel like a mountain road with eighteen bends. When I read this novel, I felt inexplicably redemptive and at the same time depressing. At the same time, I feel so sad for the heroine, but at the same time, I am proud of her. I feel very regretful at the end of every novel. Compared to her current gentleness, kindness, kindness and understanding, I would rather never have all this. I would rather she always be the arrogant and domineering eldest princess...
(╥_╥) The author writes about Xihe very thoughtfully. She doesn't write about her facial features or the fragrance of her clothes, but only about the things she doesn't do - not crying, not retreating, not accepting her fate. Save until the end, but you will be more satisfied than anyone else. It was so full that it overflowed the paper, so full that every word was filled with her bones. Reading her is like reading a monument, every word is carved into it, not written on it.
It's great. I watched it all night. I've always been attracted by the male and female protagonists. I don't know why I didn't feel that the female protagonist and Chen Dong were a good match from the beginning to the end. I saw a lot of people in the comment area who felt sorry for them. Chen Dong may have love for the female protagonist, but I don't think it was much. How could he love her and be indifferent to her when she was struggling in the river. What he said about giving her the best on her birthday and finally saying to forget him or something. If she didn't survive, it would be useless to do anything else. I don't understand. I don't think he loves the heroine very much. Maybe I don't understand. The one who feels distressed is the male protagonist. Although she feels as emotionless as the male protagonist, she can be said to be very sincere to the female protagonist. Nothing is more important to him than the female protagonist, but the female protagonist doesn't really believe in him. She seems to be thinking about Chen Dong. I don't quite understand. The heroine is heart-warming and admirable. She is the kind of person who is relatively sober and rational. She seems to love people more than she loves everyone. She is a very good heroine. Overall, it's a very good novel worth reading. It's the first time I've written such a long book review [face covering]. Keep up the good work, author. I forgot to mention my favorite Zhiqiu. To me, she is the best person in the whole book. So is his brother Zhiyan. It's a pity for both of them.
This is the second wonderful novel I've seen in Tomato. It doesn't have the halo of big heroines, nor is it pursued by many men. It relies on the heroine's own strategies. The layout of this book is really big, and it's full of feelings about family and country. [Blow kiss] The heroine is not inferior to the men.
This book is the first one I have to spend money to read. It is short but concise, surprising and thought-provoking. It is not only about the love between children, but also the hatred between the country and the family. What is love, what is running a country, what is the hatred of the country and the family, and what is a prosperous dynasty. I have new thoughts and experiences. This book makes me believe that this dynasty really existed. The characters in it are vivid, and there is a lot of foreshadowing. Things that I didn't understand at first were explained later and in the extras. When these plots are strung together, you will understand why the author wrote it this way. This kind of writing is really advanced and magical. This book makes me no longer just focus on the protagonist and no longer read from God's perspective. Everyone has a shining point. Just when I think this character should be like this, he always surprises me, refreshing my understanding of him time and time again. It has been a long time since I read a novel with concentration. I am really lucky to read this one.
First of all, the author's writing style is very good, not procrastinating, and the plot is compact and ups and downs. The heroine Xihe is able to stand upright, has perseverance and faith in growing up, and is not the white lotus in the flourishing age and the overflowing Virgin Heart. Chendong is also a tragic character. Living in the wilderness, the appearance is rough, but it is rare to have a pure and true heart. Just as the grandma who raised him said: He has such a soft heart. Although her political views and stance are different from those of the heroine, she still chooses to express her softness and love clumsily. She was the first person he loved and the nightmare of his life. She is his white moonlight. Xia Wan's choice before ascending the throne made people cry. He used his actions to tell Xihe that the world of mortals, fame, wealth, power, and country are all nothing to me. Only you are my obsession. I want you to be happy and live a hundred years without worries. A fiery soul, but also a lonely and courageous person. After reading it, I felt that it was a good book that everyone should appreciate and treasure.
This is the first time I spent money on reading a book on Tomato. A sad story, the author's magical touch brings people into a world of fantasy and dreams, wishing there would be no more wars and killings in the world. The first time I watched it, I felt overwhelmed by Xiaoxi and Chen Dong; the second time I watched it, I was shocked and moved by Xia Wan. The most beautiful love between Xiaoxi and Chendong was ultimately defeated by hatred between the country and the family and cultural differences. It was left scarred and destined to be fruitless. Xia Wan is Xihe's salvation, the souls who save each other, and the fateful entanglement.
This is the best Machiavellian novel I have ever read in 🍅. Each character is portrayed in a three-dimensional and full way. The author slowly tells the beauty and suffering experienced by the heroine from a first-person perspective. The plot is compact and the content is mainly based on the feelings of family and country. The heroine is not obsessed with love, but has ambition and brains. I have also read a lot of articles with good reputation and high ratings. I admit that they all have their own merits, but there has never been a book that I can't help but recommend to everyone. This book is one that I want to recommend to everyone before I have finished reading it. This is also my first time to review a book. I hope everyone can understand the shortcomings of my review🙏 I'll add the rest after I finish reading it...
The writing is really good, but I feel like I am trying to make up for the second male lead. Even the most vulgar and ignorant person, I think, knows that if you love someone, you should at least not hurt him. He is really not love. But to be honest, the male protagonist is really good, and the female protagonist is also very strong. She has endured many things that ordinary people cannot bear. The most profound one is the female protagonist's sister-in-law. She is a really gentle character.
This is a relatively novel book I have read. It is narrated in the first person. The plot is not bad, and the psychological description of the characters is particularly delicate. Sometimes it suddenly turns around and discovers that it has been foreshadowed earlier. The main theme of the book is about revenge for the subjugation of the country, including the emotional entanglement between the female protagonist Xihe and the male protagonist Xia Wan and Er Chendong. The protagonist has his or her own set of circumstances due to the background of the times and the environment in which he grew up. I think the author describes the human nature very well. The heroine was a bit arrogant when she was a child because her parents died early and her grandfather and brother doted on her. Later, she met the person who influenced the heroine's life, the moon of the heroine - Helan Zhiqiu. Like a mother, she patiently taught the heroine not to destroy other people's hard work at will, and taught the heroine how to read and write, and how to behave. After the fall of the country, the heroine met the male lead Chen Dong again. He always protected the heroine at first (it was their first love for each other). However, due to their different views, the second male lead killed Xia Wan and took away the heroine's only relative in the world. However, the heroine finally became disheartened and revealed her identity. Later, the second male lead sank the heroine into Binghe. After being rescued, the heroine became the Queen of Beigan. For ten years, she has been mediating for the people of Nanxu, re-employing Nanxu ministers, and cultivating her own power. Later, the male protagonist entered the palace to help the female protagonist many times. After rescuing the female protagonist, the two got married. After experiencing various doubts and wars, they finally established a unified country between the north and the south. The female protagonist ascended the throne and became the emperor, ushering in the prosperous age of Haiqing Heyan and realizing the ideal of the heroine.
