Super super super super beautiful! ! ! Zhang Zhixu knew the rules of etiquette, but broke up with the family because of her rebellion. Chen Baoxiang is the most greedy and afraid of death, and the most sneaky person. Even if she is in trouble, she can't bear to see Zhang Zhixu's sad expression. One is that an outstanding disciple from an aristocratic family has lost his halo and has "personally" come into contact with the suffering of the people. Those shocking pains deeply hurt his years of cultivation in the sage books. One is a country villager who started at the bottom of the world. Relying on the power of an unconscious man, he saw extravagant prosperity that he had never seen in his life. The former is deeply involved in the grassroots level, while the latter is seriously "obsessed with power." What they both want is that the people of the world can live a stable life, that grievances can be complained and cases reported to the officials, that the fields truly belong to the farmers themselves, and that the domineering squires will no longer appear... As a civil servant, Zhang Zhixu started with the law and used the imperial examination as a guide to repair the loopholes of the court step by step... Chen Baoxiang performed meritorious service as a military officer, chose the emperor, followed Wei Zheng's example, risked his life to speak out and gave advice, and finally completely lit up the light in her heart that had been constantly dimming. He wielded power in both civil and military affairs, and it seemed to outsiders that Zhang Zhixu could only hold the sky with one hand. Even Zhang Zhixu's father scolded Zhang Zhixu in the name of his family. Fortunately, this extremely difficult tree was finally planted successfully, which will inevitably be a source of shade for future generations. The early depictions of emotions are delicate, and Chen Baoxiang is obviously a fan of others, but he is able to get along with the beggar without any disdain. She talked about the suffering and misfortune of the people at the bottom, and her personal experience impacted Zhang Zhixu's outlook on life. The logic in the later period is rigorous, and the foreshadowing laid down in the previous article emerges one by one: why is the heroine timid and afraid of death, why is she so flattering, why is she obsessed with meritorious deeds... The male protagonist is the most knowledgeable about etiquette, and he actually gave up his family for Chen Baoxiang, even though his father beat him up, he never regretted it... Chen Baoxiang originally wanted to climb a high branch, but finally found that she had accidentally become a high branch. It's not a cool novel, but the description is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the characters are constantly enriched. The heroine's past and present overlap repeatedly, forming a sentence before her eyes: "I am a high-ranking person, so why bother clinging to me!"
The real ideas and content of Tomato Girl are not books with an outline that can withstand scrutiny. To be honest, I read Tomato purely because I wanted to see a bloody plot, but I didn't expect to see anything of high quality. This book can be said to be one of the best-paid female channel Tomato in the year. Author 1 has writing style, 2 has logic, 3 has good character design, 1+2+3 is already a top-matching author. I can't imagine what this would have been like in the early years when the online writing environment was better. I just hope that the author will have a chance to read this. It is so well written. You will definitely make a lot of money, and reading your book will make people happy.
I had a very strong feeling when I was halfway through watching it: What you think is silly and sweet: Chen Baoxiang Actual Silly Baitian: Reader Baoxiang: "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." I saw a heroine who looked innocent and worldly but was actually pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, pretending to be a high achiever in order to avenge blood. She was a wise and brave heroine. As the plot deepens, those unknown stories are revealed bit by bit. Behind the floods in Guixiang, the pits in Tianning Mountain, the living targets at the frontier, the corrupt court, and the fame gained by selfish evil officials are countless innocent souls, all of whom are waiting for her to avenge them. If you can't climb a high branch, then become a high branch yourself. When the pilgrim is fatuous, then choose the Ming Lord to overthrow the fatuous king. She is as tenacious and tenacious as a weed. For the fairness of the imperial examination, she strives for a truly fair and outspoken admonishment for the students all over the world. Finally, at the end of the story, everything she did got the best answer. She killed her enemy, cleared the name of the Ye family, and made Dasheng truly a peaceful and prosperous age.
I originally thought it was just another routine novel for entertainment, but the author jumped out of this framework and used two people from different classes to write about the prosperity and corruption of this world. The plot is very compact, there are laughter and tears, and the ending is also very good. I may read it several times in the future. Generally speaking, it is a dark novel written in a light atmosphere. At least it is the novel with the best intention that I have read on Tomato. The writing is also very good. The female protagonist is not super powerful and domineering. She also matches the male protagonist very well. Both of them are very good people. The story line and emotional line are well handled and well organized. There is no water or drag, but it still leaves people unfinished. It is highly recommended.
[Crying][Crying] Chen Baoxiang, you are the best and best baby The interaction between the male and female protagonists is very loving, and each has its own shining points of humanity. The female protagonist is transparent, optimistic and sophisticated, and remains cheerful in the face of difficulties. She loves money as much as life, which is also very cute. The life story line adds to the sense of story, and there is a career line. Unconventional women can see the difficulty of being a woman. The empathy for the people at the bottom makes the heroine's personality charm soar. Baoxiang's writing is really very good [crying][crying][crying] The male protagonist is a young man from an aristocratic family who was pulled into the world because of his two souls. He saw the pain of the lower class and the plight of women. He has a sense of contrast and a cute inner os. He can be regarded as being redeemed by the female protagonist. The two of them have a sense of CP. The plot is compact and has a complete main line. Some parts made me cry and the writing was so good that it was easy to watch. . . But the direction of the plot is positive and uplifting, not a sadistic story The heroine is indeed trying to outdo the male lead and the male protagonist materially, but in fact, on a spiritual level, the male protagonist is trying to outdo the female protagonist [I almost cried]. All in all, it's a very good book. I hope the author will update the ten chapters every day and finish it soon.
Only 8.0 Points? It needs to be at least 9.5, Right? The writing is smooth, the content is touching, the dialogue is interesting, and the values are well established. It deserves high marks! Chen Baoxiang only knew that Zhang Zhixu was her great immortal, so how did she know that she was also his great immortal? The two changed each other, achieved each other, and lived their own lives. A hundred times of hearing is better than a first sight. The pampered Mr. Zhang on the branch changed into plain clothes and coarse cloth, and followed Miss Chen, who had been working among the people for many years, into the city and countryside together, uncovering the dark oppression under the powerful, and seeing how they could vent their anger for the injustice in the world.
The article opened low and moved high. No one in Lun expected it to be such a story of concern for the country and the people, passion and loyalty. Moreover, the author did not directly tell us the background line, but let us come out through foreshadowing, which gave us a stronger sense of participation. It's really beautiful! ! ! Compared with those novels where you fall in love without any plot, the male and female protagonists in this novel do not mention love, but you can see that they depend on each other and recognize each other. They have a common pursuit, the collision of the powerful and the untouchables, the collision of male thoughts and female thoughts, and the two merge into each other. It's so beautiful! ! ! !
The layout of this book is much better than most of the fake female protagonists on the market. I really like this kind of powerful grassroots female protagonist, and the emotional line is also well written. At first, I thought it was another cliché male protagonist who redeems the female protagonist, but after seeing the male protagonist, I felt that the female protagonist was short, hahaha. There is really nothing to say about the personality charm of the female protagonist. The male protagonist can reflect on himself and really wants to be an official who benefits the people. It feels like a two-way journey. The perspective of focusing on disadvantaged groups is really heartwarming. Finally, the common people are no longer passers-by in the novel. At least they can be seen. For a person who is studying politics for the postgraduate entrance examination, it can really generate a lot of thoughts.
This year I saw the best novel on Tomato... I hope that the film and television version will find actors with acting skills, not traffic, and don't waste this book... The intention is really high, and the writing is really good [crying] [crying]
Very, very beautiful. I like the character of the heroine. I think it's a feminist novel. There are almost no very vicious female supporting characters, and the proportion of female characters is also high. Every character has flesh and blood. There are no degrading words or plots that insult women in the whole article. The author's writing is so good, I was hooked in the first few chapters. The heroine is really, really plump, scheming, strategic, and capable of fighting and leadership. I have experienced many hardships, but flowers have blossomed out of them. Having experienced it and seeing the difficulties at the bottom, I try my best to help them. The apprentice he accepted was also a woman, and his mother-in-law and senior sister supported him along the way. It is truly my favorite novel this year. I said it was not good in the comment section, but when I clicked on the home page, it showed two male protagonists. I had never read the novel, and it was a good work with unfounded accusations. Mislead others and tell those who see it not to see it. When they comment on me, I reply instantly every time, but then they don't reply because they haven't read it at all. Ask them to recommend good works by women, and they won't be able to recommend them! Everyone, please don't be fooled by the black man! (Real readers should argue with me if they think it doesn't look good, but they don't reply at all.) Someone deleted the comment
