Comments after reading Chapter 104: 1. A really excellent story about the head of the house! Different from other romantic and sadomasochistic romance novels, this time-traveling heroine truly achieves the sober "survival of the fittest"; 2. In terms of family education, the guidance and guidance of the legitimate children made me spiritually nourished (thank you); 3. Even if there is no love between the husband and wife, they cooperate with each other to educate their children and cope with interpersonal relationships and crisis challenges, which also allows me to see the non-romantic love-dominated side of family life. 4. After children are well educated, the courage and wisdom to protect their mother and family show me what good education looks like in practice. Reading this novel: It made me realize that the only way out is not to get rid of the scumbag, to cut off love, but to be beautiful alone (recently I have read a lot of novels with female protagonists that are similar to love, no love, etc.). It's not that without love, marriage can't survive. Girls who regard love as their number one edict, we should open our eyes wide. Marriage itself is a complex of various elements. Love in the real world is not pure! The kind of man in sweet pet novels who is a "gentleman with grace and beauty, who only loves her deeply" is very rare in reality. After all, this is the fantasy product of most women. Remember, fantasy! It just doesn't exist in reality or is extremely rare.
No CP. The heroine's education of the children is very heartwarming. The next two generations of family heads committed suicide as saviors, and the two generations exchanged their lives for family prosperity. It gave me a shocking feeling! Reflect family interests and ambitions vividly! Born as a farmer, it took two generations to stand at the pinnacle of power that others could not shake. It's all the result of a family's hard work. There's no greasy romance, it's very nice to watch. And Chaoyang, I really feel sorry for this little princess. The other characters in it are also very three-dimensional and full, and the villain is not just an NPC that drives the plot.
The writing is really very good. Compared with those so-called cool articles about traveling through ancient times and changing the situation of women, I think this book is more realistic. As a lover of sweet novels, I actually don't like novels that can make me cry, but this one can make me cry and feel wonderful at the same time. (The following content contains spoilers) I think the heroine's personality is that of a rational woman with sensibility. Some people may think she is neurotic and contradictory, but it is precisely because of this that I think she is alive. When I first read it, my only impression of the prince was that his character was really well portrayed. Later, when I saw him getting engaged to An Zhi, my scalp went numb and I felt like, "Oh! Yes, he is such a person." It was as if he really came alive from the book at that moment. In fact, when I saw this part, I hoped in my heart that the heroine would not let An Zhi marry her, but it didn't happen, but this is the reality. It's very real, so exciting, and it also tests your writing skills. He also has a good grasp of the tightness and tightness of the plot. He will not suppress his emotions for a long time, nor will he be too relaxed and cause "watering". The character portrayal and plot rhythm are very comfortable to watch, and there will be no sudden "drama". The most important thing is that I think every choice and decision of the heroine is wonderful. Very very beautiful! ! The author is very awesome [full]
The heroine is a very powerful time-traveler. I admire her sober understanding just when she was in college. She is very clear-headed in terms of the concept of educating children and her attitude towards men. It shows us a different style of the time-travel heroine. In addition, the author's writing style is great. The ordinary things written are very humorous and the characters are not stereotyped. It is really the first time to see the wife and concubine so harmonious. Although the legitimate concubine can never escape The struggle for interests, but the friendliness towards women is really heart-warming to watch. They are no longer the same white lotus and green tea concubines. Women hugging each other for warmth make people see the light of humanity. Especially in the era of supremacy of imperial power, it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and women were really miserable. Therefore, in other novels, a vicious female supporting role is always needed to set off the protagonist. The author is really unconventional [Like] [Like] The intense comments once made me lose interest in this book, and the author is very good at reversal. He created a point of conflict in the beginning and immediately reversed it later. Moreover, this book has a very sad writing style.
I'm really addicted. I've been watching it for six or seven years, and this is the only one that gives me such a feeling. The character of Lin Ji had a huge impact on me. Although he always pursued interests at any cost, he never forgot his family or Yu Hu. He gave her enough dignity and security and always protected her and the family. The plot where Lin Ji died really made me cry, because I couldn't find the feeling of a real husband and wife protecting each other anywhere. This was the first time I saw it, and it really manifests itself all the time. Of course, no one can give this... (P′‵.) Sad and touching Big cheers for the author! (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )
The score of 9.1 Feels a bit low. The heroine is really well portrayed. The fusion of ancient memories is mixed with some contradictions of modern people's three views. Really, she is really good. She has never lost her heart and is herself. The children still complement each other from the process of growing up to the end. At least it shows a more realistic imperial society, rather than a particularly cool novel. I don't know who the male protagonist of this article is? But Lin Laodeng is really an outstanding patriarch from beginning to end. He is not only a qualified military commander, but also a qualified politician. Although concubine intercourse is despised by us now, it seems to be the norm in the patriarchal era. He is cold-hearted but always puts his own interests first. He is never confused about important matters. He is a perfect partner for the heroine. Whether it is Aunt Jiang or Mrs. Lin, they all have different sides and they are not all bad characters. This book is really good!
This is a book that I have been following for a long time, and it touched a lot of my emotions. The author is very good at depicting characters, and many of the characters in the article are very three-dimensional. The most successful person is none other than Lin Laoden. I really disliked him in the early stage, but in the end I had to admire him. A man with weak legs climbed up all his life, and finally succeeded in entering the Ancestral Temple, which lifted the whole family and influenced the descendants of the Lin family. Jade pots have always been my favorite. Traveling through books and traveling to ancient times, when I started role-playing, the goal was to pursue a long and healthy life. He seems to be an outsider, but in fact he is already an insider. He has many plans for each child, especially the girls. It is hard not to be moved. Zhaoyang and Anzhi, the children's favorites, are stupid children with disgraceful life experiences. Their futures have already been arranged, but they live purely by themselves and are free and wanton. An Zhi, a little girl who loves to cry and cry, has ambitions and means to become the female head of a noble family. The most gratifying child is Qing Bai. He has followed the same path as his father. He is worthy of his status as the eldest son of the Lin family and worthy of the training of Yuhu and Lin Laoden. The modern side story is very warm and can be regarded as a kind of perfection.
Personally, I think it's very interesting~~ It's like standing behind the heroine and watching everything that happens.. My own perspective is like a maid~. It's not like other novels where I'm watching from God's perspective while floating in the air... It feels very different~
I have read three books by the author, and the characters in each book are different, but they are all brilliant. Whether it is a small character or a big character, the author seems to be able to write three-dimensionally, without facial expressions. It really makes people feel that in a certain world, there is such a group of people living slowly (rather than like some novels, which are completely the author's obscenity, sorry, I disliked ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑) The most important thing is that I haven't seen any difference in logic or mistakes in common sense so far (I really hate some opinions that you don't have to read novels with your brain (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ)), and I often get some knowledge popularized because of the author's novels, which shows the author's cultural background
Very nice to look at. A post-house novel in a non-traditional sense. The female protagonist does not forcefully implant modern views, and there is no love-making relationship with the male protagonist. The book does not describe chicken soup for the soul in large sections, and gently tells readers: Love cannot be met or sought. Only by being yourself, facing life firmly and bravely when facing difficulties, and being yourself calmly can you have a better future. It looks really good.
