Most importantly, the female lead can't be the sort who just puts up with everything.

The structure of this article is very big. I feel really happy and cry when I read it. The early part is warm and refreshing, and then it is like the end of the world. Large-scale poisonous insects control monks and monsters. Ordinary people are unable to resist. They are unknown and confused. The separation of family, friendship and love. The heroine continues to grow on the way to find the truth again and again. The content is very exciting. I hope the author can give them a happy ending. I hope they can all be reborn after fighting hard. I have rarely seen this in Tomato. I recommend it.
It's really good to watch, but when I saw Jiang Sizhu die, I was really tortured to death. In the early stage, it was like a warm daily life, but in the middle and later stages, when there were Gu insects, it was more like the end of the world. Jiang Sizhu sacrificed his own life and shouldered the eternal infamy in exchange for peace in the world [crying] Gu insects were about to take over the world, but Jiang Sizhu turned the situation around on his own [crying] Jiang Sizhu, Shi Yu, Hua Yun, Su Tiancheng, and He Wushuang, everyone must be together well The article written by the teacher is really good [blowing kiss] Teacher, please update [send heart][send heart][send heart]
I wish Jiang Sizhu and Shi Yu always be happy, as well as Su Tiancheng and Hua Yun, and He Wushuang, as long as you five children are always good, so do everyone. The young people's high-spiritedness and friendship are so touching. Family, friendship, and righteousness are really written so well\(^▽^)/! , The love between parents makes me want to cry. It's really beautiful. I love this book so much. There is a little bit of a knife at the end, but the ending is good! ! ! It's really beautiful, the rating shouldn't be so low! ! The group portrait is really authoritative, and the young man's high-spiritedness really poked me! ! I can't bear to leave you [almost crying][crying][crying][crying], see you again👋
The article is really good, one about the passion of love and the other about the restraint of love. My wife was the only one who died in that war, so I have been looking for her for 100 years, but it is really not a piece of writing. It is like a small group that eventually became a big boss in all walks of life, but never separated.
The author writes very well [Shy] I really like their daily warm life, especially the way the heroine is high-spirited and unruly when she disguises herself as a man [Blowing Kiss] (I hope that the heroine can be as high-spirited as before [Shy], and then travel around with other people [Sending Hearts] [Sending Hearts] to have more warm daily lives [Blowing Kisses])
It's a good read. It's a good read. I've said the important things three times. I read all the latest chapters in one breath in the early morning. It's really good to watch. The plots are interlocking. The male and female protagonists are very good. It feels like a micro-group portrait. Every character in it is well created. I like it. I like it.
It's obviously very good-looking, why is the rating so low? I feel bad for the author! ! I'm quite satisfied with the settings of the male and female protagonists, yes. It's just a little bit underwhelming. The character of the heroine's baby is really charming. In the early stage, the baby was obviously very cheerful, but in the later stage, it became helpless and broken. In short, there is no knife yet. The author, please don't give me a huge knife [crying]
Very, very good-looking, the male protagonist is cool and cool (but without losing the sense of vitality), the female protagonist is young and cool (full of youthful feeling), it is simply yyds, I recommend it [send heart][send heart][send heart]
In fact, I think the logic of the writing is very coherent. As a short story, the beginning, climax, and ending are all very appropriate! It's just that I think it might be more perfect if everyone's emotional conflicts and conflicts were detailed in the battle where Sizhu was about to die, including the more complex emotional transformation of Su Tiancheng after the heroine came back. Other than that, the portrayal of her father, brother, niece, and Mr. Hua was a bit shallow. They could have more dialogue and relive their past memories of the happy 4-person team parade, which would be more emotional. I don't know if the author is in a hurry, because I think this is a short story. In the early stage, some of the love between parents was not reflected through the heroine's plot. Instead, a separate story was created for them to explain specifically. It would feel less immersive and immersive, and suddenly it was included in someone else's story. But overall, I like Sizhu's character very much, including the fact that the whole story is a setting where the heroine is the heroine and the boy is the subordinate, and the woman is cool pretending to be a man. What we want is a kind of youthful heroism! But that doesn't mean that the heroism of the heroine can only be reflected through men's clothing. In fact, while wearing men's clothing, I could get a glimpse of the heroine's true appearance through the author's description. Therefore, for me, the point of this woman dressing up as a man is to better bring the identity of a woman into the description of male roles in mainstream media, linking the suave, rebellious and unruly character with what a woman should be, and I am impressed by Sizhu's charm. Well, for me, the store with the largest setting mainly focuses on the love feature of the male protagonist being bent and being twisted back hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Although I like Sizhu the most, the other characters are not inferior either, but I still like Sizhu the most. Well, I just don't feel that everyone is outdone by Sizhu, but I just like Sizhu! ! ! I just like it~ No, I can't sleep because I think about it. I think there are many emotional lines that can be pondered and written. For example, when the Hua family parents knew that the rest of the group of four did not remember the painter's parents, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the heroine who stayed in Wenwen Township. What about the scenes of the Hua family parents a hundred years later? After all, haven't their names appeared before? Including that brother, what is the result? Why didn't you explain it? Oh, actually I think love is not the most important thing, it's the little things that touch me the most. Is the author too anxious? This book felt a bit rushed, what a shame, I tossed and turned and kept me awake at night. Including a hundred years later, everyone suddenly woke up and found that they seemed to have lost some memories before. Now that they are back, they all have doubts about the Gu worms and the identity of the heroine. It can't be said that everyone in a hundred years will think that the heroine is a bad guy or something, and subconsciously feel that something is wrong. And why did the heroine's brother give birth to a child out of nowhere? Where did that cousin come from? Why do you want to educate your children like this? Oh, let me go. Oh my, these things are heartbreaking, these things ah ah ah ah
2025.9.9.5:48 It took me one night to read it, and it just so happened that the author had recently finished it. It was such a coincidence that I caught up with this good time and didn't have to save the article. The heroine is very strong and sober. There are many, many foreshadowings in the whole story, and the ending is HE. I didn't see anything sadistic about the male and female protagonists, mainly the supporting characters. In the generation of the male and female protagonist's parents, the male protagonist's parents, the female protagonist's parents, and finally only the female protagonist's father is left... The supporting characters cried a lot during the final scenes. The endings of these supporting characters do not seem to be very satisfactory, which is a pity, but it is precisely because of regrets that the world in this book is formed. The protagonist is HE, the supporting characters are not HE! (I still selfishly hope everyone is well) The plot is generally fast-paced in the middle and later stages. It is watchable, enjoyable, enjoyable, and enjoyable. (The sad point is that only the supporting characters are finished and the final truth is revealed?) No matter what, I feel like I really have nothing to say about this plot. I really can't criticize it at all, but it's just very good. Overall, it's a brain-burning little sweet article, you can read it!
