I think the most important thing about ancient Chinese is the writing style. It doesn't need to be fancy words, but it must look smooth. The author's writing style is very smooth and silky! The characterization of the prince is very rich. I like the prince's intelligence, calculation and elusiveness the most. It is very challenging to win the prince. Although everyone said that the prince was sinister and scheming, but what woman would like a fool? There is also a man who really likes the prince's double-sided character, who is very charming and who is the same on the outside. I personally feel that he is a bit dull and not very smart, such as Prince Ping. So the heroine said that Prince Ping was no match for the prince. Many of Prince Ping's behaviors are not difficult to understand. After all, there is a huge gap in status between men and women. The heroine was initially obedient to him, but suddenly she was in tit-for-tat with him and no one could stand it. The heroine is also very smart. Although she fell into trouble with Prince Ping, it was her first love and Prince Ping did have some intentions for the heroine when she was a hostage in Chu State. Each character has a very distinct personality, and even some minor characters such as Hongdou, Lianxin, and Gourd are quite fleshed out. The last and most important thing is not to be verbose. There are a lot of ancient sayings and nonsense, and there are too many redundant descriptions that make me tired. This one seems very relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommended! A score of 9.9 Is not an exaggeration!
Love your neighbor first, love yourself first, the intention is very good, the writing is excellent, give the author a refill. I want to complain. After reading the whole story, I know how much physical harm and psychological trauma the heroine suffered, but instead, the hero eradicated his father and brothers to get the throne, and got a child without having a child. He used the heroine several times to gain military power, but he lost his precious love. Hahahaha (the author of the extra even gave the hero hope). The plot is so abusive to the heroine, and some people scolded the heroine for being ignorant, ignorant of emotions, and inflexible. Yeah, yeah, I really like this comment section. The ending where the heroine gradually heals herself and has the right to make free choices is particularly good。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。
I cried many times while watching it. The heroine is really strong and brave, and the way she protects herself is very consistent with her identity, status, and situation. I just hope that Xiao Lu will stay away from the heroine (to be honest, my eyes darkened when I saw Xiao Lu appear again). There are thousands of ways to love someone, but it will definitely not be like Xiao Lu's [punch]. The prince made a mistake three times. Every time I see the prince make a mistake, my heart ache. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. As the prince, he had too many helplessness. The emperor did not support him, and Xiao Lu was crazy. Therefore, the prince was in a situation where he could only choose to let go (of course, when I saw the prince let go, I was still speechless [smile], couldn't the prince be tough for once? The heroine was really going to be broken). But what moved me the most was that the prince truly loved others like he was growing flowers. He had been teaching the heroine self-love and self-respect, and had been giving the heroine the confidence. He told the heroine to be ambitious, and led the heroine step by step out of the suffering she had suffered, so that the heroine could live a hopeful and successful life. The prince is really a good, positive and guiding lover. And what made me cry was the scene where he begged the heroine back with his only grace. I burst into tears [crying][crying][crying]. I really like this kind of straightforward, brave, positive and sunny love. It turns out that beautiful love is like this. Xiao Jinshu really gave his only selfishness to the heroine. The Little Golden Book said that his love for the heroine is particularly similar to the book "Me and Her" I read about her and the lamp before. The hero in that book has always taught the heroine how to love and respect herself. And the Little Golden Book doesn't care if the heroine is touched, he really just loves the heroine as a person. Later, after he became the emperor, he did not really force the heroine, but as the emperor, his heart was more about the country, the country, and the country, which destined him to be unable to give all his heart to the heroine. In addition, the author is really strong in shaping the characters. The characters are three-dimensional and multi-faceted. This is indeed the image that a living person should have. Anyway, the character is not thin at all. The prince abides by his duty, does not act recklessly, does not violate the rules, and is an out-and-out gentleman. But at the same time, he is ambitious and will fight for what he wants by any means. This is indeed in line with the methods of a prince or an emperor. And I really like the word gentleness. The heroine has really suffered a lot. Xiao Jinshu's gentleness, consideration and patience really suit her. Let's talk about the heroine, she is neither humble nor arrogant, indomitable, aloof from the world and independent! ! ! She is resourceful, will solve difficulties on her own, find her own way to survive, and she really rewards everyone who treats her well. She is really sober! ! ! Let's talk about Xiao Lu, I only have one thing to say, don't hurt him if you don't love him. If you can't even say the word "love", don't trap the heroine by his side. Finally, I want to tell the author that I also have selfish motives. After writing this story for so long, I still want the heroine to truly fall in love with Xiao Jinshu. Even if we can't be together, I still want the heroine to fall in love with him. In short, I really want Xiao Jinshu to be the male protagonist. . [Love][Love][Love][Love][Love] Ahhhh, I'm going crazy. Can the heroine fall in love with Xiao Jinshu? I really like this character [blowing kiss][blowing kiss] Qin's character is not very exciting, he doesn't appeal to me, I don't want the heroine to be with him [I'm almost crying][I'm almost crying][I'm almost crying]
The first person is really well written! My heart ached as I read it, for the struggle of the heroine and for Xiao Lu who once had very good memories. I also felt pain and helplessness along with the heroine's sometimes affectionate and sometimes abandonment of Xiao Lu. I also followed the heroine into the prince's unreasonable kindness. After reading it, I was afraid of being deceived by the prince and abused by Xiao Lu. I also hoped that Xiao Lu could change his mind and tell me that he was not a violent and power-loving murderer. I also felt that such a change of attitude could not cope with the heroine's repeated despair. But no matter what, since he is a person who once had a good life, I hope he also has a good ending.
Each character is created with flesh and blood, unlike the utopian perfect personality often seen in ancient sayings. They have the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, they have compulsions, and they even have the dark side of their souls. I like the open ending very much, because at the end, I felt that the love of the three men for the heroine was more or less mixed with some pathological paranoia, so I complained to my friends that in the whole book, "normal people" are not all perverts (dbq) The heroine's personality may not be likable, and she is too indecisive. When I read the text, I always couldn't understand why she was worried about this guy at one moment and worried about that guy at the next, and was confused and entangled with everyone. But the extra chapter is well written, explaining all the so-called "inexplicable" emotions that arise in the main text, and it also makes me no longer wonder why so many people fall in love with this awkward and awkward heroine. The author's words in the last chapter make people feel suddenly enlightened - every ordinary girl is worthy of being loved. The heroine may have a hurdle in her heart forever because of the hurt she suffered, but she is tough and kind, and she deserves to be loved.
It's good-looking, but it has a really old-fashioned feel. The heroine is physically and mentally abused. It's not that serious, right? But she did suffer. The child was lost, she had to hold a smile on her face, and she still liked Xiao Lu. Later, she found out that Xiao Lu had aborted the child and happened to be married to the princess. Not to mention, the heroine was about to run away. It was very clear. There must be serious thoughts from some angles, and she wanted to return to her hometown far away. Li Li's life experience is quite powerful. No wonder he can be tempted by the people of Zhao State when Zhao and Chu are sworn in. He has escaped so many times and is always caught. This prince is also a hypocrite, very scheming. He helps and then has to return it. I don't know how many days he can stay here. The heroine is very nice, strong, optimistic, kind and sober.
It's very nice to read. I've read a lot of sweet pet novels. This kind of novel where the heroine slowly grows up is very surprising! I can feel the author's care for the heroine. Although the heroine is weak, she fights for her own freedom step by step and is awakening mentally. At present, it seems that these changes in the heroine are not abrupt in the plot. I like this kind of heroine and hope that the heroine will become stronger and stronger! Xiao Lu is no longer good at CP. Such a selfish man should quickly abuse him and avenge the heroine! Much more to come [adoration][adoration][adoration]
I can only say that it is the best book I have read so far. I will not give up on this book halfway. It is so beautiful. Every character is full-bodied, has causes and consequences, is well-founded, and does not treat readers as fools. It is a rare good book by Tomato. The heroine has a super good personality, is very close to real life, and is very real. Moreover, the author will not pretend to love the heroine like other writers, and it is a female channel, but in fact she still loves men. The author feels that he truly loves the heroine's baby and is looking forward to the heroine's growth line. Regarding the unfinished story, I hope that it is neither the male protagonist, nor both. I prefer that the female protagonist loves herself. Although the female protagonist has a miserable background and has always wanted a child, I really hope that the female protagonist will love herself more as she grows up.
It is powerful, logical and detailed, and the character's growth and mental journey is very delicate. Fortunately, the heroine does not have the Stockholm effect. Alu really loves her, but he also really hurts her. The pain of the prince's love, and the forbearance of Xiao Qin's love
The prince's love may not be pure enough, but it is more charming, and his relationship with the heroine is more dramatic. The character design of Qin Yuanze, who fell from the sky halfway, is relatively perfect, but it lacks flavor. Seeing that it looks more and more like Qin Yuanze is winning, I feel a little uninterested! He is a very nice person, Qingfeng Jiyue has a great heart, but he is too straight and upright! The prince can have no results with the heroine, but he only wants to beg not to destroy the prince! Darkening the prince in order to put Qin in power would be a failure and cliché. There will be a separation from the character sketched in the early stages.
