At the beginning of the story, the heroine Jiang Hailan is placed in the center of the whirlpool of the disparity between a wealthy family and a poor family. She steps into the Pei Mansion with the determination to break off the engagement. This plot setting breaks the rules. There is no clinging to high status, only sobriety and determination. The male protagonist Pei Xun, as a young minister of Dali Temple and a young talent in the capital, is used to being looked up to by everyone, but is mercilessly rejected by Jiang Hailan. This gap gives him a strong desire to explore. From the initial surprise and slight surprise towards Jiang Hailan, to his gradual attraction to her uniqueness, his emotions changed naturally and smoothly. The author's writing style is delicate, the depiction of ancient life scenes is lifelike, the dialogue is concise and powerful, and the characters' personalities are accurately displayed, without falling into the clichés of ancient romance. With novel settings, full characters, wonderful plots and beautiful words, he creates a unique ancient world. Well worth reading.
The emotions are very full, and the male and female protagonists are perfect. However, there are too many female rivals, which makes the noble daughter of an aristocratic family extremely unworthy, and the vicious female supporting role is also very one-sided. However, the love between the male and female protagonists is still very vividly portrayed. It is not surprising that the male protagonist would fall in love with someone like the female protagonist. The female protagonist has a very charming personality.
It is simple and not verbose, and the emotional descriptions are very delicate. I cried while watching it, and I had a sense of the picture during the reunion. It is all because of the author's writing skills. The short dialogue did not prevent me from crying. It describes the male protagonist's heart delicately, and the self-blame and heartache after the reunion. It turns out that sometimes the plot does not require a lot of dialogue between the male and female protagonists. Simple actions reach the peak. It is very good. It needs to be proofread in the early stage. The overall feeling is good. I wish Jiang Hailan and Pei Xuan peace, health and happiness in that time and space.
The heroine is strong and independent. After the death of her father, she decisively exited a marriage with a disparity in family status. It can be said that she is very calm. It's a pity that there is a huge disparity in status between her and the male protagonist. All the male protagonists' rotten peach blossoms can easily kill her. Even if they fall in love later, the natural chasm between them cannot be solved by any of the male protagonists. In the end, the female protagonist was killed by a rotten peach blossom on her way back home, and the male protagonist went crazy. Only then did she get rid of the love disorder, but the woman was gone, leaving the male protagonist with an empty body. It is a tragedy to write this. Fortunately, the author still arranged the ending where the heroine is rescued, reunited, and married. The author's writing is very good, a nice short article.
It's been a long time since I've read a story with such detailed inner descriptions. The characters and inner descriptions are realistic and there is no exaggerated plot. The heroine, as a time traveler, also acts completely according to her identity. There is no advance prediction of the script. This is one of the better novels I have seen recently.
It's very beautiful, short and concise, but the story is cleverly conceived, logically fluent, and has a good idea. The female protagonist has normal outlook on life, is sober and independent, and is a character I like and appreciate very much. The same goes for the male protagonist. I can clearly feel the growth of the male protagonist. It's really beautiful. I recommend it [like][like][like][like][like][like]
The writing is good, short but concise. I have read too many articles and the story is really well written. I really like the sober and independent personality of the female protagonist, and I also like the calm but careless side of the male protagonist. After all, no one is perfect. Highly recommend!
Although there are some minor flaws in the book, the overall story logic is clear and the male and female protagonists are deeply emotional! The score should be higher! What I hate the most is reading endless long articles that are all repetitive!
Although it is short, it is a very exquisite little article. Only by not giving up on yourself will you get more respect and love. Although it is a little cruel, parting is for the joy of reunion. It is very interesting [Chigua][Chigua][Chigua]
Worth a look. There are not many articles, but the logic is clear, the plot is closely linked, the personality is distinctive, and it is not sloppy. The heroine is independent, especially in ancient times, and strives to survive without losing her self-worth. [Praise]
