Synopsis

She was the cherished jewel of Zhang Rishan and Yin Nanfeng, the most pampered young lady of the Ninth Gate’s third generation. Yet she was always chasing after Xie Yuchen, calling him “Handsome Brother.” Using “paying respects to Second Grandpa Er Yuehong” as an excuse, she would linger at the Xie residence. When she watched him practice opera, his water sleeves sweeping through the air, she would slip candied fruit into his costume. When she saw him frown over the account books, she would hand him a begonia handkerchief and gently coax him. Begonia petals drifted over their shoulders beneath the red walls, and even the breeze seemed wrapped in her laughter. Everyone was waiting for her coming-of-age ceremony, after which the Xie family would exchange betrothal letters with hers. But the Ninth Gate could not escape its fate. Wu Xie fell into a deadly puzzle, and Xie Yuchen entered the fray in armor. She quietly brought the New Moon Hotel’s connections and Zhang family retainers to his aid, but all she got in return was his disappearance after he set out for Zhang territory. Ignoring her parents’ pleas, she broke into the ancient tower to find him. She feared neither the strong acid eating through her clothes nor the mechanisms cutting her palms. Just as she found traces of him trapped inside, the tower collapsed. In the darkness, she clutched the begonia handkerchief she had never given him. She had meant to tie it on him herself when he came back. Xie Yuchen escaped alive and frantically dug through the ruins, but found only half of a bloodstained handkerchief. Later, he became the respected head of the Xie family. He never wore his begonia-patterned opera costume again, and never spoke of the snow on Changbai Mountain. Every year when the begonias bloomed, he stood beneath the red walls, clutching the handkerchief. Sometimes, the wind seemed to carry the cry of “Handsome Brother,” but was his girl buried in the ancient tower, or had she become a wanderer lost forever in the snows of Changbai, someone he would never again see return?

It's very interesting, but each paragraph is too long (I just personally like each paragraph to be shorter, and I don't mean to belittle it). I suggest the author to let Xiaohua know his feelings for the heroine's baby as soon as possible. Finally, he hopes that the heroine's baby will be the group's favorite ٩(●´৺`●)૭

It's very interesting, but my review feels like a human machine... But this book is really good! Highly recommended ? Am I the only one who finds the back part very curious? 😱😱😱

But I read it in the later chapters, but I thought it was Be? It would be nice if it was Be (I think I sprayed it by mistake)

It was very sweet at the beginning, but then it was very sad after watching it, and I cried while watching it. There are also some plots that are unreasonable but the writing style is quite good. You can read this novel. Let me make it clear first that I have read the whole novel. I read it in two days. Some of its plots are quite unreasonable, but it is still readable. However, the OOC is very serious. If you mind, don't read this novel. Also, it is seriously inconsistent with the plot of his original work. Didn't the third uncle later write about how Lian Lian and Wu Sansheng survived? He wrote that Wu Sansheng killed Lian Lian for the Shahai Project. It is very unreasonable and unreasonable. Also, Li Cu's plot is gone, and it would be unreasonable to change Ali into Li Cu. [Roll eyes][roll eyes][roll eyes]

The author's writing is very good. It's beautifully written and emotionally nuanced. It's not like some other books where he writes some random words to make up the number of words. The author doesn't do that. I feel that his writing style is very good and the writing is very good.

It's sweet, but it's very cruel when it needs to be tortured

The description is very delicate, but the later stage is still very rough.

It's very beautiful, but it's sweet in the middle, but because it's sweet, it becomes particularly sad in the back. Everyone in it is very pitiful, [crying][crying][crying]
