Xiaoying is so pitiful. The loyal, puppy-like protector is so well-written. The beginning is incredibly heart-wrenching, making your heart ache. The scene where she escapes and is caught in the middle is very compelling, but overall, Xiaoying still suffers too much. There's also abuse in the top role, but it's nowhere near as intense as with Xiaoying.
When Xuan Ying loved him, he was indifferent; when he didn't love him, he became relentlessly persistent. Xuan Ying was the most heartbreaking character in the entire book. This prince simply didn't know how to love, leading to an extremely tumultuous relationship. While reading, I almost wanted to kill him! 😭 I felt so sorry for Xuan Ying.
Yes, it's good. However, some of the angst was a bit excessive, especially since the ending is supposed to be a happy one. The angst shouldn't involve humiliation. I can tolerate emotional and physical abuse, but humiliation is much harder to accept.
I really like it; I like the character design. Xuan Ying's humility made me realize that he understood the difference in their social status and also felt emotionally inferior. It's tragic; he suffered more than half of the punishment Xie Yi had secretly planned. Even escaping the flood was only to find a way to cure his master's poison—a devoted child indeed.
I stumbled upon this through anime clips, and I have to say the author knows exactly how to make people's hearts ache. It's so heartbreaking, it's killing my liver! This is the first time I've read a novel with a bad ending. I didn't want a happy ending; I just wanted a tragic one. One person dies, finding release, while the other suffers lifelong regret. And, most importantly, they forgive!
It was good; I finished watching it bit by bit. The angst-filled parts were from parts I'd watched earlier, but I was busy with other things and came back to watch them after a while. By then, it was all sweet stuff, so I wasn't too sad at the end. 😂
This is so heartbreaking, sob sob sob, Xuan Ying is really pitiful, she's not like the one in the comic at all.
First of all, I want to say that the author's writing is very good and the plot is also very good, but there were still many times when I almost couldn't continue reading. It's not that the story is bad, it's just that I felt it was too angsty, but I still persevered. The ending was also very good. At one point, I actually wanted them to have a bad ending, but I was very happy to see Xuan Ying happy.
Why should Xuan Ying forgive the prince later and continue to run away? Of course, the conditions were better by the prince's side, and the prince changed, but I still prefer Xuan Ying.
It's beautiful, but it's a bit tear-jerking. It's so heartbreaking. Seeing Xiaoying get hurt really hurt my heart. Overall, it's a great watch.
