The author vividly depicts the heroine who has lived with thousands of years of historical and cultural accumulation, adapting, forbearing, resisting and changing in the ancient world where men were superior to women. She did not resist blindly or get lost in ancient life. The concept is exquisite, the connections are smooth, and it is written in one go. Reading it in one breath, it is actually a work of hard work. It was not frozen three feet in a day. The author's painstaking efforts to write a book that transcends the love between men and women is truly the work of everyone.
The writing is still good, but I feel that they should not limit it to the romance between men and women. The heroine is quite good. I feel that many things are between her control and her handling. She is very proactive and not particularly passive.
Time travel is actually the collision of modern civilization and ancient civilization. It is impossible for the heroine to shake or change ancient civilization on her own. If the heroine's first reaction is not to escape, then she will only be trapped and out of place, depressed and unhappy. Escape is the best choice for the heroine and this era. It is only after escaping that the hero can truly know the heroine and understand the modern world. With the opportunity of modern civilization, the heroine can further instill modern civilization in a controllable way in a silent way. The male and female protagonists can only join hands for a lifetime after the civilizations of both parties have achieved a delicate balance. The author's big story direction is actually the most suitable choice after the collision of modern and ancient civilizations. Without blindly refreshing writing, the heroine's character can stand up. Like 👍🏻
It's good-looking, the writing is very smooth, and the characters are well created. Everyone has a complete story line. The heroine created is so good. She is poor, but she is good at herself and helps the world. I always feel that the male protagonist is not worthy of her. To be honest, when I watched it, I felt that the male protagonist really had to save the galaxy in his previous life before he could meet the female protagonist in this life. Because the heroine cherishes the kindness of the people around her, she will put aside the hero's previous cruelty and respond to the hero's feelings. It is also because the female protagonist can see the people and the common people, and her intervention can avoid the ending that the male protagonist often ends up with as a tyrant in the last days. Otherwise, if the male protagonist is so absurd and cruel in the early stage, normal people would avoid him emotionally when they meet him, and under his early ruling method, the country will be overthrown sooner or later.
It looks good. It's much better than shouting about being together for the rest of your life and that everyone is equal as soon as you time travel. It makes you fall in love when you time travel. You have no human rights and protecting yourself is a big problem. In ancient times, the emperor Jie was a ghost, and he attacked in large numbers. Now, even those with a certain status in society are attacked. I originally wanted to give it 4 stars, but I'll give it 5 stars because it's so good. "I'd like to give you some advice, please don't add (say) after a sentence, okay?" When listening to the novel, it's easy to lose track of the plot. My ears are filled with, you say, I say, she says, you say, I say, she says, he says. Come on,
In fact, I think the rating of this book should not be so low. It may be because the setting of the male protagonist's purity and uncleanness offends most people, so it is rated low. However, if I take a closer look, I think this book still has a lot to commend it. The redemption and guidance of the heroine to the hero, as well as the branch stories, each little character has a point of breaking out of the circle. For some reason, when the heroine was a little eunuch in the palace, her attitude towards everyone in the palace felt so warm. I recently watched a movie called "A Love Letter to Grandma". This movie was also mediocre, but it left me with a deep impression. The heroine in the book seemed to be the same as in this movie. She was obviously bland, but it brought a sense of shock to both me and the characters in the book.
The author only started writing in June. It's really beautiful. It integrates modern ideas into ancient times. It's very exciting. I will work hard to update the same homework.
This story shows that the author's literary quality is quite high, he speaks in a clear way, and he can pick up ancient words and phrases at his fingertips. I admire him very much. But when I read this story, I felt that although the emperor's secret guards were very strong, the head of the household was incompetent every time, and the heroine was caught every time. It was really frightening to watch. Every time the heroine encountered danger, there were characters who were more powerful than the royal guards. The heroine experienced amnesia, and the last time she was harmed by the female partner was really tragic! He was disfigured, poisoned, mute and blinded. If it weren't for the aura of the heroine, he would have died eight hundred times earlier. Although it reflects the heroine's perseverance and ability to survive in such a desperate situation, I think it is a bit fanciful that the disfigurement can be cured. If it is possible to cure a small area of disfigurement, or if it is so terrible that it can be restored to the original state, I can only say one thing here, the wisdom of the ancients is really great! I think it's better not to be too exaggerated. It only represents my personal opinion!
The author portrays the heroine Bao Keqing very fully. She is a soul piercer who dares to love but is afraid of love. She thinks that she is cold-hearted and stoic, but in fact she is most fiery and kind in her heart. The male protagonist Pei Nie is constantly attracted by this kind of personality, slowly healing the scars of the content, unconsciously letting go of his anger, resentment, and unwillingness, and the defenses in his heart are gradually removed until they are gone. When Bao Keqing was sent to serve as a supervisor, Pei Nie realized that he could no longer let go of this man. Later I learned that he was "she", I think I must have been extremely excited at that time. Later, in order to get what he wanted, he kept making concessions and worrying about gains and losses. He wrote about the state that a person in love should have, which is very real. At this point, the three views reflected in the work are in line with public aesthetics, which is also the key to its popularity and pursuit. The writing style of the work is smooth, without too many complex and lengthy storylines, the structure is compact, and the word count is in line with today's fast-paced reading style. Awesome! Highly recommended!
We are now at chapter 44. Although the plot is still in its early stages, I still give it five stars. Although the heroine has not had a smooth journey, she has been helped by noble people along the way, and she has slowly grown and accumulated strength. The male protagonist is also slowly changing for the female protagonist and healing his childhood pain. But after all, the male and female protagonists are not from the same world. The ideological conflict between men and women + modern and ancient + monarch and people has not really emerged yet. I don't know when this secret mine will break out.
