[Male-male romance + devoted to each other + transmigration + love at first sight + everyday life + imperial examinations]
Xie Huai never imagined that a car accident would send him transmigrating to a dynasty he’d never even heard of: the Great Xia Dynasty.
He becomes a scholar in Qing Shui Village who shares his name. The poor scholar is neglected by his father and unloved by his stepmother, and is about to be married off as a live-in son-in-law. What?
Wait, the person he’s marrying is a man! No, a ger!
What’s a ger? Oh, a third gender. A third gender? What on earth?
Forget it. Whatever the gender, man, woman, or ger, Xie Huai doesn’t think it matters. Besides, he has no interest in a stranger he’s never even met.
Arranged marriage is unacceptable. He absolutely refuses to sacrifice himself!
Then Xie Huai sees Ye Lin for the first time, his eyes lighting up. Isn’t this my wife?
Well, look who’s changed his tune!
Ye Lin was born with a faint ger mark. Since he’d spent his childhood roaming the mountains with his father, he grew up tall, and his looks...
As everyone puts it:
“He looks just like a man. No wonder nobody wants him!”
“Exactly. What man would want to marry a man?”
With no other choice, Ye Lin’s parents decide to find him a live-in son-in-law.
But who could have guessed that the scholar they’d carefully chosen would jump into the river!
“What a tragedy!”
“We told you, didn’t we? You wanted a scholar for a live-in son-in-law. And now look...”
Rumors and gossip spread throughout the village.
Ye Lin says sadly, “Mother, Father, let’s break off the engagement.”
Xie Huai, who has just stepped into the Ye family home... His eyes widen in shock. Break off the engagement?! No, no, no! Honey, let me explain! I mean, let me tell you what happened...
It's all inner monologues and narrations. If you want to see them get along, you have to jump and watch 🤦 🤦 It's all about dissecting what everyone is thinking and doing 🤦 It's like a running account. There are only a few words in the dialogue.
There is too much written about daily life, and a lot of it is unnecessary. Some trivial things about the neighbor's house are written about, which seems very redundant. After all, these things have nothing to do with the protagonist and have no impact on the protagonist. The protagonist in the author's novel, how should I put it, feels like he is laughing and joking every day, either in a funny way or on the way to being funny. In fact, it is unnecessary. Even if the story is about two people loving each other, it becomes very boring once there are too many of these things. Also, this is a time-travel scientific examination article. After all, the protagonist has to take the scientific examination, but as far as I have read so far, the content about the protagonist taking the scientific examination is basically mentioned in one sentence. There is no content. It feels that the scientific examination is dispensable in this article. Since the author arranged for the protagonist to participate in the scientific examination, the protagonist must make progress, but I have not seen any ambition in the protagonist at all, and he is teasing his partner every day. I personally suggest that the author write less trivial things, such as "The neighbor went up the mountain to pick mushrooms because there was no water to drink, and his face became ugly. The child was crying, and then the protagonist gave them his own water to drink." I don't know what the author wanted to express by writing things like this. Is it to highlight the protagonist's character? These are really unnecessary. Instead, I feel that there is a problem with the neighbors and family members. If there is no water, there is no water to drink. You can just think of a solution by yourself. It is very annoying to look at it like this. In fact, I skipped through many chapters written by the author. Just by looking at the chapter names, I can feel that that chapter is insignificant. I believe many people are like this. After reading a chapter, I skip to the next chapter, and then continue skipping. This means that the content in the chapter is not attractive and I have no desire to read. Of course, the above only represents my personal opinion. I am the same. The author can write wonderful articles. I am also fortunate to read the author's works. Please forgive me if I am offended. I hope the author's works will become more and more exciting. Thank you!
The setting is very good, but there is no need for so many narrations, and there are a lot of connectives. Many do not need to be explained so much. The novel focuses more on dialogue, and the writing is more composition-oriented. Many descriptions are also composition descriptions 🤦
So-so, he is said to be a strong guy, but he has low self-esteem and is like a weakling, so he cannot lead a tall guy.
It's hard to criticize a novel written in the same way as a composition 🤦
There are not even two sentences in the dialogue. It is all long explanations and inner activities. There is no need to explain so much about small things, which makes it seem too long-winded.
Raise your hand weakly, eh, I think it looks pretty good
I feel like there are too many descriptions of scenery or other things. The owner has to jump to watch the conversation 🤭
It's been more than a hundred chapters and I haven't taken the imperial examination yet. It's too long-winded.
I think the writing is quite good and the two protagonists have good personalities.
