Set in Republican-Era China, Possessive Love, See Details
Set in the Republican era. The heroine gets separated from her boyfriend at a train station and is attacked by criminals, but the hero saves her. He’s a young marshal, and he forces her to become his fourth concubine. Her boyfriend later rescues her and forces himself on her too. In the end, the heroine and hero end up together. It’s pretty angsty.

The book's title was inspired by Lao She's poem, "In the past, there was no rouge, and a girl's face would only blush for her beloved. It's a pity that later, her beloved betrayed her, and that's why she fell in love with rouge and debauchery." Hope you all like it! [Please follow!] 💕
There aren't many happy endings (HE) in Republican-era novels, and lately I've been enjoying them, as most end in tragedy (BE). I needed to switch to a different one to clear my head. The author's characters are very vivid, and the language used is so down-to-earth, like a real, ordinary couple. It feels real, not like those aloof, unattainable figures.
It's really good. Highly recommended.
It's very good. Although the romance between the male and female leads isn't entirely smooth sailing, it's not too tumultuous either. In particular, the efforts the male and female leads make for their dreams and their country make it my favorite novel set in the Republican era so far.
This book is very good; it records love and war during the Republic of China era. History books are small and cannot contain their greatness, but with a casual flip, we can see their entire lives. History books are also too big; we can't remember their names, we only know them as heroes! We will never forget them in this lifetime.
It's great! The writing is good, and the plot is good too!
I think this novel is incredibly good. It's one of the most memorable Republican-era novels I've ever read on Tomato. It not only tells the story of the male and female protagonists' companionship but also explores their patriotism and love for their country. In short, it's very touching.
Nine out of ten love stories in the Republican era ended in tragedy. This has a beautiful and happy ending.
I watched it all in one go! It was great, the pacing was excellent, the plot was engaging, and the characters were vivid and relatable. The part where the male lead read the letter was sob sob!
It has sweet moments, melodramatic plots, childish elements, elements of pacifist literature, and elements of national righteousness. Overall, it's worth watching. Children's Day is so cute!
