I Dare Not Dream of Chang'an in This Fleeting Life

This is the third novel I've truly loved. Although I've read many novels, very few have truly resonated with me. This book vividly depicts love, hate, and grudges, and I could deeply empathize with the protagonists' tragic fates caused by their beliefs and identities, their love turning to hate, and their profound helplessness in the face of unrequited love.

Wow, this is amazing! It's the first time I've read a novel set against the backdrop of the War of Resistance against Japan. The male and female leads have different stances; the female lead carries a mission and beliefs, approaches the male lead, and struggles painfully with her uncontrollable feelings for him. What will become of them? I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. Keep up the good work, author!

It's a good read. I really enjoy novels where the male and female leads have opposing stances but can't help but fall in love. The female lead in this book truly stays true to herself, admitting that she did develop feelings for someone she shouldn't have, but she also didn't forget her mission. I really liked the first version of the ending.

Each character is imbued with a soul, their faith, principles, love, and patriotism vividly portrayed. In that era of war and turmoil, they all held fast to their convictions. The extreme clash between love and principle led them to a resolute reconciliation of faith and love in the end. "If there is an afterlife… I only wish to share with you… the prosperity of this world, day and night…

It's too short, I finished it in no time. The author wrote so well, the intertwining of love and faith, the greater good and the individual family, reason and emotion, it's as if I can see the people of that era, helpless yet all striving for that new world in their hearts. It's truly wonderful.

I prefer the second version's ending. The male lead's love was so profound; how could he bear to let the female lead suffer even the slightest harm? And since the ending was already predetermined, his choice was to fight for the female lead and their child's survival. The main storyline is also more complete. He couldn't change the ending, but the person he loved and his child could, which also highlights another side of humanity. Meeting again in their twilight years—isn't that a better ending?

I came from another book by the same author, and I didn't expect it to be so good! The novel theme is refreshing and unexpectedly good. I really love it, it's so good!

This is the first time I've read a book with this kind of subject matter; it's very novel, the writing style is mature, the characters are three-dimensional, and everyone is vivid. The author's writing is excellent, and the inclusion of both happy and beta endings is satisfying. After finishing it, I just wanted to say goodbye to an old friend; it's so memorable. I've already read it twice.

It's absolutely amazing! It's a love story set during the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, with lots of historical elements interwoven. It's incredibly good! 😢😢😢😢 The main characters' love is truly remarkable, and their emotions are very deep.

I came from the book "The Fall of Southeast Asia," initially drawn by the author's writing style and not particularly concerned with the setting. The early narrative was rather bland, and I was considering switching to another book. However, starting with the staged death arranged by Nantian Hiroki, the intricate plot twists made me cry so much! ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡
