Miscellaneous Notes of Ming Yutang: a Different Life of a Concubine

I suddenly discovered that I can earn gold coins by writing long reviews on my own books, so I'll write them. The origin of writing this book was that I read an overseas Sinology research book "The Power of Poetry" and was very surprised by Qu Bingjun's experience in it. I wanted to write a character based on her, and then I came up with Lu, and then this novel. One of my principles for writing novels is that there are no pure bad guys or pure villains. I try to make each person as excusable as possible for the time in which they lived. Of course, everyone will have shortcomings, but there will not be those stupid and bad people who are purely used to promote the development of the plot and make the protagonist slap in the face. Another idea in writing this book was to create a person who grew up in love, that is, the heroine. She really has almost all the luck, so she will pursue it bravely. Because she grew up with love, she has the ability to love. Regardless of whether her method was appropriate or not, her original intention was to be the first to give. Whether it is to Xu Gen, Gui Niang, Brother Qing, Ling Shuang (and her children), stepmother, Wang Sigong, or even the Qin family, she will take the lead in giving to all kinds of maids. Many people are not used to this kind of character design, especially in love, and think that the heroine is stupid and love-brained. But what I want to say is that a person's ability to love is a reflection of her mental health and high energy. Especially the courageous pursuit when she was a teenager, all her experiences will eventually turn into beautiful memories and lifelong wealth. The heroine is so lucky. People who are so lucky should have the courage to move forward, and should not be hesitant, cautious, and careless, leaving too many regrets in their lives. Finally, this book wants to see a group of outstanding Confucian scholar-officials in the Song and Ming dynasties through the eyes of the heroine. These people are the people who moved me the most when I read history. I also hope that my writing can reflect their elegance.

The content before the heroine gets married deserves five stars. What can I say about the content behind it? It's not that I can't understand it, but it makes me feel like the mountain streams merge into the river. The river is also a part of the world, but in the end it loses its wildness and the freedom of leisurely swimming in the water. What I like: The writing is fresh and natural, without the greasiness caused by many clichéd plots and characters. Moreover, while the heroine's experience is unconventional, the author also relied on many real people and real events to make the story refined but not suspended. The part I don't like: Although Lu Bingjun left the production very early, I really appreciate what she said, "Don't bully yourself, don't feel guilty if you introspect." It's enough for a person to do this in a lifetime. The reason why I kept watching the content about the heroine's marriage and feeling uncomfortable is because I felt that her code of conduct was getting further and further away from this sentence, and she was originally an innocent and noble person, which was a pity.

I don't know why there are so few comments, but this article is great, much better than the ordinary otaku fight heroine articles. Maybe the death of the heroine's mother will make some people think that this article is a sadistic article, but it is not sadistic. The heroine's emotional line seems a bit pretentious and unexpected. But on the contrary, it is unexpected and reasonable. At least it is much more reasonable than some ancient stories about marrying an older uncle to pick up a ready-made stepson and then being infertile for the rest of his life. I don't know how the story will go in the future, but so far, it has been pretty good. Love is the ultimate problem for the heroine. The heroine is struggling with whether to choose the king or Xu until the end, and even if they choose them, they may take concubines. For this reason, the author has to end the heroine's time-travel life and let her return to modern times. ……………… The four stars are for the touching family affection and the poems written with care by the author.

Dear author, your writing is great. This is so beautiful. I seem to have the desire to keep following it. I really like the characters you wrote. Lotus and Gui Niang are all very good people. It's really good, very good, please be sure to update more, faster and more explosively, and please keep updating ten times. So pretty.

I particularly like the content before the death of her mother, because in ancient times, the heroine, as a concubine, received the material life and spiritual education that is almost equivalent to that of a modern rich girl. Although she retains some modern concepts and thoughts, she still has not experienced any social beatings (before the time travel, after the time travel, before her mother passed away), so she started to think a little like a little princess, but this does not hinder the cuteness of the heroine. However, at first, I felt that the heroine's ideological change was particularly abrupt, and that his father was too indulgent and even contributed to the development of the heroine and Xu. This is what a so-called "literary official" with social status and spiritual thinking in ancient times should not do (although many of his father's behaviors were very different from the social environment at that time), because I think that whether it is now or in ancient times, the father may not encourage the woman before she is underage. I supported my daughter in dating, but seeing her father becoming more indulgent after the heroine got married, I suddenly felt that I could understand my father's previous attitude towards the heroine and Xu, because my father was in a free love relationship due to a combination of circumstances, and his thoughts were a bit advanced in the society at that time, and the heroine was the youngest daughter at the time (it would not affect the marriage of other unmarried daughters), and the father's theme was that his daughter's happiness was the most important. When I watched it, I was particularly afraid of Xu being the male protagonist, because his mother would not like the heroine's traditional mother image at first glance, and Xu is a typical child who grew up in a bereavement-style upbringing, so he must be particularly filial to his mother. I don't like the male protagonist either. He's childish but he can compete with the female protagonist. So I'm particularly curious about their future development. Will they remain a couple forever or will there be a breakthrough? After thinking about it for a while, I don't think I can accept it. It all depends on how the author writes the subsequent development. Looking forward to it! What I like: The portrayal of most of the characters in the article is relatively fairy tale-like and unlikely to conform to ancient stereotypes. What I am most looking forward to now is the development of the male and female protagonists! ! Come on!

Yes, the writing is pretty good, but I don't like the male protagonists of the two heroines. Oh, forget it, the heroine can be beautiful on her own.

The front part was so beautiful, especially when the heroine's mother was alive. I couldn't stop watching it. The love and tug-of-war was also very beautiful, and it felt like little deer bumping into each other. From the beginning of the heroine's marriage, I felt that the plot was a bit dull. I skipped a few chapters and read it, but I was able to connect with the rest. I felt that the heroine's emotions did not have any ups and downs after marriage. The male protagonist could not arouse his emotions while reading, but he got to know some scholar-bureaucrats. The author's writing is really good! It stands out among the novels full of AI flavor.

The author's literary quality is very good, and the description of ancient life is very vivid and interesting. I highly recommend it. It's obvious that the author is a liberal arts student, and I feel like I can try writing about imperial examinations and official articles in my next book. This one doesn't involve house fighting, and there are few contradictions. The protagonist doesn't have a clear career line, and the content is a bit too streamlined, which may not be able to retain people later.

I have read both of the author's 2 books. I like them very much. There is always a kind of sadness in the author's articles. It is not a very sad feeling, just like the sadness on a rainy day, which lightly permeates the text. It is very special.

It's very beautiful, and the writing is also very good. The story is also unconventional. Well, the heroine can be regarded as a coming-of-age story. Sometimes the heroine will be mad at her, but sometimes it's mostly fun. Well, I'm looking forward to the author's other articles I just have a doubt, why can't the heroine, who is so determined, not let go of such a thing as love? Is that Xu really that good? Maybe I have a God's perspective.

It's really, really good-looking and very immersive.

Very beautiful, highly recommended! The author's writing style is exquisite, and he writes about ancient life very vividly. The heroine's character is vividly portrayed. It is different from traditional ancient novels. This is a very interesting and unique ancient life novel.

The author's writing is very nice, and I feel that the author himself is a very talented person, but not many people seem to read this style on Tomato. People still like to read more mindless and cool articles [face covering]

A very nice and interesting ancient romance book? Counting the romance, the family scenes were even more touching. I burst into tears when Mother Lu died. I just like people who don't abuse the heroine

It's a very good book. It's slow to read, but there are many moving parts. It gets better and better as you go to the back. It's the kind of book that has depth and depth to it. I feel that the author is a very upright and lovely person.

Looks good, cheers up💪

The protagonist is like a camera, everything is a dream haha

It's beautiful. I read it in one breath. The writing is fluent. The author will update a lot [Sending my heart][Sending my heart]

Beautiful and refreshing old saying. Although it has traveled through time, it has a richer spiritual world than modern times, and even a looser living space than modern times.

The emotions written are quite delicate.

Plain and heartwarming text.

This book is very nice

The author has profound literary foundation

It's well written, and the heroine is very interesting, but when it comes to falling in love, it's like falling in love.

I've finished reading it. It's a rare good book by Tomato and it made me shed a lot of tears.

A very good book about the daily life of ordinary families.

You can't just let me alone, everyone comes to see it, everyone comes to see it, it's very beautiful, very beautiful!

Well written, plain and warm

Fine. Very well written. It's really good to let the heroine wear it back in the end. After all, ancient times were not good for women no matter what...

It's so well written, but it's also so real [crying][crying][crying][crying]
