This novel is not a cool novel, and sometimes it can be very frustrating to read, but it is indeed written very realistically. The heroine is a tolerant and observant person since she was a child. Deep in her heart is a yearning for ordinary freedom. The most brilliant part of the writing is the period when the heroine grows up independently in the later period, showing the life that the heroine has always looked forward to.
Originally I only read books and didn't like to comment, but when I read the last few pages, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Although Li Zhengyuan was deeply in love with his wife, he still accepted the concubine Mrs. Zou given by Master Gao. In the end, Mrs. Li sacrificed herself for the family, but Mrs. Zou came to power. Sometimes I think women are so stupid. In the same situation, if men and women are reversed, a woman may be alone until old age, while a man will hug his wife while she is still alive, let alone after her death.
Tied to this day, it is a real ancient novel, without the messy golden finger of time travel and rebirth, you can quickly immerse yourself in the ancient family life and can't help but read it, give the author a thumbs up 👍👍👍
Different from other otaku novels, the story is quite novel and I like the heroine setting. When I first read "Begonia Light Rain: Prologue to a Concubine's Good Marriage", I was stopped by the writing style soaked in the mist and rain of Jiangnan. The author does not use thick ink and heavy colors to illustrate the swords and swords in the house fight. Instead, he uses "Begonia Light Rain" as an introduction to weave the humbleness and resilience of the concubine into the blue bricks and black tiles of the deep house courtyard. In the prologue, the heroine is not a cool heroine who is born with gold fingers. The cowardice in her eyes and the stubbornness hidden in her sleeves are like a begonia wetted by rain in late spring - the petals are slightly drooping, but they refuse to drift away easily. A few strokes describe the cold eyes of the aunt and the indifference of the father. There is no deliberately exaggerated grievance. Only the details of her wandering around the corridor for a bowl of hot soup blend the hardship of the concubine's life into the fireworks between the lines. The most touching part is when she is mending old clothes in front of the window late at night, she sighs at the word "good marriage". It is not an extravagant desire for wealth, but just a hope for a stability of "not being despised". This simple thought makes the character stand up instantly and makes the readers' hearts tighten. The author's writing power lies in seeing the "subtle" in the "subtle". There is no earth-shattering plot, but you can read the undercurrent of the deep house and the heroine's character from the maid's reply and the half of a silver hairpin left by her mother. The image of the rain hitting the begonias runs through the entire story. It is both a metaphor for her situation and a portrayal of her character - even in the mud, she must quietly gather strength and wait for her own sunshine. The prologue alone is so captivating, with delicate emotions and solid writing written between the lines. People can't help but look forward to how this concubine, who has grown up stubbornly in the light rain, will finally break free from the cage and find a "good marriage" filled with respect and warmth. This is not only the prologue of a home-fighting essay, but also a simple song written for all women who are "not seen" but never give up. It is sincere and moving, with a long aftertaste.
Good-looking, a trickle of water lasts a long time. As the old saying goes, parents are short-tempered. I look forward to the subsequent development of the heroine.
Nice! The logic is clear,
Not bad, good-looking, looking forward to it
The description of psychological activities is delicate, and different characters show different aspects of human nature.
It's a very good book, especially Mrs. Li's death. I couldn't sleep all night.
Very good, worth a look.
