X can equal Y, anything goes. Just don't make the protagonist in an ensemble cast a male-female lead duo plus their little entourage, and don't make it a male or female lead plus their entourage. The writing should be decent.

Lou Xianyue is such a three-dimensional and indescribable character, so it's only natural to fall in love with her. He looks frail and sickly, but he is actually smart and tough. Beautiful appearance, pure heart and spiritual spirit. Smart and ambitious, he is most unwilling to be a pampas grass and will never become a pampas grass. She has a tenacious and sober spirit, and a strong vitality, without losing the lightness of a little daughter. She is alive. Spiritual, positive, talented, graceful and cute. She likes bright clothes, collects jewelry and hairpin rings, designs hairpins, and is good at garden design. Painting sycamores, reading Li's poems, understanding life, and discovering and appreciating beauty. A lively, interesting and energetic girl appears on the page. Never powerless and dependent on others, she not only has the ability to manage money, but also has the ability to extract information, consider events, and judge human nature, which is reflected in her ability to understand the power structure and operating rules. Possessing a strong sophistication, Qing Yun was criticized on the spot for her reputation, but she turned it around with her words. During the handkerchief incident, she knew the importance of female unity and turned Ling Shuang's sacrifice into an ancient version of the Me Too movement. When her sister was given a hard time by Princess Xun, she knew how to turn the situation into her own advantage and put the other party in a passive object position. Her paintings, her hairpins, and her poems, even in a repressive environment, can help one find self-worth and a sense of belonging through the balance of reason and emotion. She has very little internal friction and tries her best to survive. So she lived transparently and openly. Ruthless and cunning, she doesn't want a good reputation, she will ask for it and enjoy it. She just lives upright as an imperfect woman. The Goddess of the Bamboo Forest debated the situation of women in the dynasty in the Bamboo Forest with some righteous logic and publicity, tearing away the fig leaf between men and women. Borrowing a hairpin, trapping a carriage, breaking a casserole requires an answer. In the incident at the ancestral hall, he left the Lou family late at night and killed three birds with one stone by using his clever trick to give Ling Shuang a life-saving talisman. My sister was bullied by Xun Wenqi, so she slapped Xun Wenqi in the face for being so unladylike and gentle. It also seems that she is "giving up" Master He for her sister's marriage, but in fact Xian Yue is forcing him to make a decision. Traditional aesthetics likes to give women divinity, to be gentle, to be virtuous, to be innocent, to be tolerant, and to be dedicated. But before you ask to become a god, you must first have humanity, let her be stingy, let her be sinister, let her be herself, let her choose herself, give her the right to be sharp-tongued, sharp-tongued, and ruthless, and appreciate her true humanity as a human being. Lou Xianyue has the courage to be a "evil girl". It doesn't have to be a perfect individual, but it must be a human being of flesh and blood. She also has weaknesses and flaws, but she also has the brilliance of humanity. Lou Xianyue is such a female image. She is well versed in the philosophy of utilitarianism and the subjective consciousness of putting myself first and for my own use. She knows what she is good at and manages it into what is useful to her; when other women are still being chosen by men, she has become the one who chooses others; she bravely pursues the life she wants and puts the meaning of life completely in her own hands. Even in the face of her mother's preference, she gives up her love to her sisters again and again, but she has not lost the power to give her life meaning. She wants to live for herself. Not only did she see her own Wind Saber and Frost Sword, but she also saw the Wind Saber and Frost Sword in the upper position. Did she move toward emptiness and compromise after gaining insight into the social situation and the interests of the Lou family? The answer is no. Her handling style has always been weak yet strong. She has her own self-realization and never loses her subjectivity. Even without He Yunzhang, Lou Xianyue's soul still has an outlet. She can still think actively in calligraphy, painting and books, draw pleasure from management and design, and find the value of her existence in the vast space and eternal time. In the long river of time and the reality of wind and frost, we actively look for close friends, place our emotions on ourselves, and break through the void with our love. I have always felt that empathy is a rare quality, being able to truly feel the emotions of others and find solutions. In a larger world, Xian Yue is more likely to perceive the kindness of others and find happiness more easily. For example, he didn't want to drag Mrs. Yun down when she was sick. He was considerate of the boy who drove on a rainy night and the woman who delivered medicine. He helped Huiniang make a living with her embroidery work. He prepared clothes of the same size for Cai Hua and supported her in not taking off her cigarette skirt. She did not flinch at all in front of those in power. She had empathy and sympathy for the lower class, and could sympathize and understand their origins and the difficulties they encountered. In the emotional world, once you are in the chess game, you will have no regrets. Xian Yue, a good calculator of people's hearts, is just a world-weary shrewd person who has seen through human nature. She will use her appearance as a weapon to plan her future path early, but she is not playing with feelings. She just understands that a man's love is nothing more than a luxury, so she relies on her appearance to train the person who is most suitable for her in advance, but it is all because she is the daughter who cannot be favored. However, that day in the bamboo forest, she suddenly met another person with the same stubbornness and sincerity as her. He Yunzhang actually fell in love with her at first sight, not because of her appearance, but because she was the only one who understood his paintings, and only she also wanted to find the stone. He clearly knew her plans, but he still liked the flower carefully under the fox's skin. He had liked this flower from a long time ago, so he said, I know I failed. It turns out that he was very lonely at that time. Tonghua knows that it is just one of the twenty-four feasts, but he still blooms it every year. Soulmate is a tacit understanding that is self-evident. It is a painting that reveals the other person's loneliness and hostility. It is a person who is always watching on the shore and expresses his feelings by wading into the red sandalwood. It is a person who sighs softly in the rain of tung flowers, "I know I am a failure." I have always believed that people who still dare to love after being rational are very courageous. This is the trust in the subtle and complex human nature. This is such a great courage. She has never been indifferent and passive. She has been tempered by reason and can discern the game of interests in intricate relationships. But she did not become good at calculating, obsessed with material power, nor did she dare to bravely pursue anything in a small world defined by others. She is still bright and lively, hosting flower banquets, helping close friends, opening shops, and loving her sister. Her heart is full, comfortable and optimistic, and she has thoughts and tolerance for human nature. She has gained her own scenery in the spiritual world.
I think it's super nice. It's even better than the very popular book Bound Spring Love. Why is this novel so popular when there are so few reviews? I'm especially looking forward to it being made into a TV show, and I'll be able to watch it before I know it. When I first posted the comments, there were only a dozen or so in less than half a year, and then there were thousands. It seems that everyone is discerning [shy]
There is no skip in the whole process, and the three sisters are the protagonists. I thought that the eldest sister who followed the rules would be the first to get married, but unexpectedly she was the last to wake up and break off the engagement. It's really a wonderful group drama, but the mother is too partial and feels sorry for Xian Yue, but the sisterly love makes up for it.
After reading it, I felt completely disappointed, as if all my friends who had accompanied me along the way had found their own endings. Although it was a happy ending, I was the only one there. None of the characters in the book are hateful, they all have their own good and bad qualities, and the decisions they make in their respective positions are completely in line with the characters, making them very interesting to watch. The quotations from scriptures are all very appropriate, not the vulgar jokes written in textbooks. The author deserves high marks for both writing style and connotation. There are no regrets or regrets, everyone has made the decision to make this journey without regrets. I hope that after reading this book, everyone can do the same, try their best to follow the path they want to take, ignore secular prejudices, and do what they want to do.
What am I feeling? This is the best book I've read recently. I watched it twice. The author's writing style and knowledge are excellent, and the description of the scenes makes people feel like they are there, with a strong sense of substitution. The characters are distinct, each girl has her own characteristics, and each girl grows up after experiencing something. Qing Yun, she is dignified and observant of etiquette. She learned to see people within the rules, see their emotions, and understand their differences. She is introspective, so she becomes a better version of herself. I like her pair of cps the most, with a sense of twists and turns and bright lights. Xian Yue, she is beautiful, delicate, skillful and scheming. The thorn in her heart was that she was not favored by her parents. In the end, she gained a unique preference in the world. Ling Shuang is a maverick. I admire her very much for crying out for the difficulties faced by women in the world. He has a righteous and generous attitude towards his sisters and friends. She is an impossible existence, so she is so precious. Cai Hua, although her pearl is covered with dust, she never gives up on herself. She is a person with mature personality. Tenacious, self-possessed, and tolerant, she has the gentleness and kindness of a woman and the scheming of a man. I also like watching her couple. Love is not necessarily pure. In the competition with each other, I feel more and more that the other person is the right person. I really want to know what will happen after they get married, and I feel unsatisfied inside. As the villain who causes trouble, Princess Xun's image is a bit thin. She represents the domineering type who relies on power. The third grandma and the second bead represent the bad guys in the house fight. The villains are all tools to promote the plot and have no bright spots. The love here includes tolerance, consideration, preference, and competition. What was planned at the beginning was all over the place, but what finally happened was all determined by destiny, what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid, what kind of magnetic field, what kind of people are attracted.
It's super good-looking, the story unfolds slowly, and is captivating. The story of the three Lou sisters is delicate and long, and the ending is so beautiful that everyone gets what they want. My favorite book in 2024, I look forward to it being remade into a TV series~
It's been a long time since I encountered a book that attracted me so much. I listened and read it without wanting to fast forward at all. I stayed up late to finish it. The author's writing is superb. The three sisters in the article each have their own personalities. You may not like a certain part of their characters, but people are not perfect. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad in the eyes of others. What is important is that in the end they all found a partner who can appreciate their shining points. The ending is very happy. The book depicts the internal and external conflicts of the family in a delicate way. The collision of the protagonist's thoughts makes all the insiders more aware of the path they will take. I like the character of the eldest sister Qing Yun the most. She is dignified, generous, decisive, and can see clearly when encountering difficulties.
It's a very well-written group portrait. The girls' feelings are very sincere and cute, and it looks like a Dream of Red Mansions. I feel so sorry for the transparent Xian Yue. My father doesn't care for me and my mother doesn't love her.
The author is great, the writing is good and not showy, and it is fascinating to read. This book is a well-deserved high-scoring work. Many of the articles on the current high-scoring list are immature and superficial.
The author's writing style is really good. He is knowledgeable and does not show off casually. Everything is just right. The plain and delicate style of painting makes me feel the inner peace and tenderness from the words. You must calm down and read it slowly. If you take it in, you will find that every character is very vivid. Like it.
