This short and concise book uses the affairs of the underworld to discuss the relationship between humans and ghosts. Both the King of Hell and the lesser ghosts have privileges, differing only in the degree of their power; power unused expires. Life is hard, and whether living or dead, even the King of Hell needs offerings and paper money. The book is well-written and engaging; I sincerely give it five stars.
This novel is truly ingeniously conceived! With his boundless imagination, the author constructs a mysterious and unpredictable new world. The eerie terror of the underworld, the majestic justice of Yama, and the quirky cleverness of the little devils are all vividly portrayed. The novel's plot is full of twists and turns, suspense, and captivating readers from the moment they begin.
A memorable short story. The author's writing is fluent, the logical structure ingenious, and while lacking ornate language, it precisely conveys the characters' emotions, making it a must-read. Highly recommended!!! The ending for the male and female protagonists reminded me of the scene in *Chinese Paladin 3* where Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing drink the potion of forgetfulness.
With delicate strokes, the author paints vivid scenes, weaving together the love, hate, and grudges of each lifetime like an intricately woven tapestry, intertwining joys and sorrows, moving readers deeply. Love, hate, passion, and resentment—these four short words encapsulate the deepest and most complex intertwining of human emotions.
It's so good!!! The author's writing style is humorous and smooth. I think Xie Lingzhi's character is very well-developed and full of life. I really like this kind of story. It's just that the ending made me a little sad, sob sob 🥺
Well, it wasn't as heart-wrenching as I'd imagined. The fact that the male lead stayed with the female lead for four hundred years and she left in the end didn't really move me, maybe because it's short. But the author's writing is top-notch, the sentences flow very naturally, truly amazing! 😘
Short and concise! The word "fate" has been intertwined for millennia, and even 20,000 words cannot fully express it! This amazing short film left me wanting more. Could the author please expand on it and continue writing? Five stars to express my respect. A good work needs good readers to appreciate it!
With its unique perspective and distinctive plot, this novel depicts a touching story of karmic entanglement, reconciliation, and protection. The protagonist, Xie Lingzhi, chooses to hide in the underworld for a hundred years to sever this karmic bond—a novel and imaginative premise that provided a completely new reading experience.
The author has a clear thought process and strong language skills. I really like this kind of unexpected yet persistent and pure-hearted devotion 💕💕💕, keep up the good work, author! 💕💕💕
I listened to it for over an hour, and it was pretty good. I enjoy short stories. However, when it came to the part about Xie Lingzhi, I kept mishearing it as Ye Dingzhi. 🤭🤭🤭
