When I first read the first three chapters, I thought it was the Republic of China version of Gongqiangliu. I didn't expect that it would be even more cruel later on. The heroine was really suffering 😢 😢 like a green willow branch that can't be broken no matter how hard it is broken. She suffered, but she was not willing to suffer at all. She had dignity and wanted revenge, and she didn't care what she had to do for it. I really like this type of heroine, so tough~❤️
I have finished reading it. The writing style is very good and the writing is good. I like the heroine's character very much. However, I have little talent and knowledge. I want to describe it but I always feel that the words are not enough. I don't know how to describe the heroine's character. It is probably that she has worldly smoothness, courage and decisiveness, an informed and knowledgeable self-contempt, and a clear-headed indifference. She is imprinted with the sadness of that era, and embedded with the sadness of the bumpy fortunes... There are endless descriptions. Speaking of which, I think the character of the male protagonist is really strange, but I think it makes sense. After all, the real Republic of China was an era of cannibalism. Everyone was just a product of the era. There were always too many people in that era, and it was not as beautiful as most of the other novels on Tomato. There was not so much glamor. In that era, women could not be called human beings. Even the most decent ladies were just a wisp of duckweed in troubled times, and they were insignificant... Is this a fact? But maybe I'm still young, so I didn't understand some parts, and I still don't understand them clearly. Although it is impossible to fully understand its deep meaning, this is undoubtedly a good novel worthy of careful reading. Personal joys and sorrows seem so humble under the grand narrative of history. Love is nothing. There are not so many things to love or not to love, and this is not something worth worrying about. People in that era had extravagant hopes to live. No matter how decent a person is, they may be wiped out in the next second. To be honest, I finished reading it. Not only do we not quite understand, but we are also not very empathetic, but if we think about it carefully, from our current perspective, it is normal for us not to understand. We live in a prosperous age, our daily lives are quiet and smooth, and the background of the times is completely different. How can we truly empathize with those who are ups and downs in troubled times? The vicissitudes of life and helplessness in those words cannot be understood due to the gap of the times, but it seems to be the norm (this is what I realized when I wrote the essay before). However, maybe a few decades later, when I no longer look at it from the perspective of a young person, I may have a new understanding! August 24, 2025, Year 14
It's very interesting, and it depicts the Republic of China where people eat people without looking for their bones. But for people who can relate to the novel, I personally don't recommend reading it. I can't stand it.
I always feel that the substitute was just to die for Huo Zongming. He couldn't let go of his aloof attitude and wanted to use the opportunity of the substitute to express his love for Yu Jiayin. I don't understand, but I can feel Huo Zongming's violent and morbid love for Yu Jiayin, which is also his favorite.
😘Each character is well portrayed, and the eight aunts all have their own personalities. They are all poor women. If only they could always be like the beginning of the story, where everyone can play mahjong in harmony.
Poor Xiaojiu, no one loves you except daddy, and no one really loves you. It's so pitiful. I hope you can be free in the future, study hard and find a job. I hope you are happy.
The disadvantage is that it's too short and not enough to read. I can finish it quickly and I'm still unsatisfied💥💥💥💥💥 After reading this, I feel so mixed, as if... Everyone has their own difficulties. In the troubled times of the Republic of China, everyone was like a leaf of duckweed. They were bound to different predicaments and tortured each other. They were all so pitiful.
Too short but so pretty😭 The author's writing style is very good. It is tense, astringent, sad and painful. The heroine is really suffering😭. I like the hero's son more than the hero. Wuwuwuwuwu
The ending of ob is up to your imagination. It could mean that Huo used Chi Shengyan's identity to get back with Jiayin, or it could be that Huo was pecked in the eye by an eagle and Chi took Jiayin away. In the Republic of China, we didn't talk about love, so we just had to live.
Guess who picked up Xiaojiu in the end? Chi or Huo?
