After reading it for a long time, I finally finished it. It's quite interesting. The whole story is a short story, so you won't feel tired after watching it. Moreover, Yuan Sen and Mo Qianrui are really good at talking to each other. [I learned] and finally they retired to the mountains and forests together, right? [Thinking]
It's so good that I watched it straight through. The story unit is very fast-paced, and the two male protagonists don't have any cumbersome threads. I just didn't expect the villain to be so weak. It would be better if there is a side story. I want to see the daily life of Gui Yin.
It's good to watch, but Xiao Mo's Apprentice is a bit annoying and a bit scary. I wouldn't dare watch it alone at night. It would be better if there were more emotional scenes between Xiao Mo and Xiao Yuan.
Objectively speaking, it is a decent unit novel. The main plot and character designs are very clear. You can pick it up and read it at any time without worrying about forgetting the plot or anything. Then hurry up and bring up the sweet extra story about her retreat. I really need this. If I can't see the little daily life of the two of them after they retire, wow Darcy🥺
What's wrong with writing extras? How can I not write super good ones [crying]. I just like Mr. Xiao Yuan, a normal flower of the mountain. It would be nice if there were emotional scenes. Super pretty.
I like this genre. The story is mainly about emotions, supplemented by emotions. There are not many emotional scenes involving two strong characters. I have never been a fan of dual male protagonists who are too tired of metaphysics. I enjoyed reading this book. Although there are some chapters that I skipped, the main story is quite interesting, mainly! The male protagonist is really not boring!
The emotional line between the protagonists is delicate and not protracted, the characters are portrayed in detail, and the IQs of all the members are online.
I really like the short stories in this unit. The author is very good at writing so many different ghost stories. Although the emotional drama is obscure, the rhythm of the plot is very well grasped. The main line runs through the whole text but does not bring a sense of urgency to the readers. The two male protagonists uncover unknown Taoists in small incidents. It feels like you are not reading a novel or their diary or blog. These things are the tasks they encounter in their daily life and are not the arrangements of fate. Although it is a ghost story, it is not particularly scary, but the content is very rich and there is basically no repetition. It's very suitable for listening to books. There are about one or two short stories and it feels like it's being told eloquently, especially some chapters have a warning or suggestion at the end, in the style of serialization on ancient forums. There are also emotional lines between the two male protagonists. The author wrote them in a vague way and basically did not carry out any psychological activities on them. When I watched, Zhongyuan and Mo walked onto the same path from the two bifurcated paths, looked at each other, and then continued walking. From the beginning, they were wary of each other and walked on both sides of the road. They gradually became familiar and walked side by side, until they finally grew old together, holding hands. There is actually no ambiguous action description in the whole text, no confession or kiss, but you can feel the harmonious atmosphere of the two people as if they were one person. Sisters who like the romance between the male protagonist and the second male protagonist in CP should not miss this book. It perfectly satisfies the ambiguous atmosphere of being unable to stop, and this pair is a real CP.
Why do I say that I came to see it because I thought there was a double CP, but it is a non-CP. It is said that there is a little female apprentice with a bad personality. Gold is money. I remember writing romances before. Her "My Husband is a Ghost" is very interesting and can be strongly recommended by romance and supernatural literature. I have been pursuing this for a long time after the college entrance examination.
The stories are not abrupt one after another and are logical. The feelings are not spoiled from the beginning. Finally, I can see a slow-burning relationship that heats up in contact. The author is really good at writing. It is beautiful \(//∇//)\.
