This is a masterpiece of ancient fantasy with both artistic conception and emotion. The author's writing style is clear and elegant, with a strong sense of picture. He writes in a delicate and moving way about the tranquility in the mountains and forests and the sense of destiny in the different paths between immortals and mortals. The protagonist, white fox Chiran, is pure and clean, with ignorance and longing for the world. She meets and accompanies the gentle young man Jiang Luochen. One fox and one person, they protect each other. Their emotions are restrained and affectionate. There is no clichéd plot, only a steady flow of healing and heartbeat. The story is both pyrotechnic and tender, and also contains foreshadowing of past lives. The more you read, the more interesting it becomes.
"Ranchen Part 1" takes the encounter between Jiang Luochen and Linghu Chiran as the prologue, weaving a magnificent and sad fantasy picture. From their accidental encounter in the secret forest of the cave sky to their companionship day and night after returning home, Jiang Luochen and Chi Ran's love grew quietly in the long stream. But when Chi Ran stole a chicken to save his mother because he didn't understand the rules of the world, he was maliciously framed by Chen Xingzhi, and Jiang Luochen was unjustly imprisoned. The story took a turn for the worse. The author uses delicate brushstrokes to depict Jiang Luochen's tenderness and tenacity, Chi Ran's innocence and persistence, and Chen Xingzhi's insidiousness and calculation. A small incident of stealing a chicken and a bowl of poisonous berries have become a turning point in fate, which is a metaphor for the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of the world. ~Five-star support~
After reading this book, I will remember it for a long time. The author's writing style is delicate, the narrative rhythm is relaxed and moderate, and he is very attentive to both character creation and plot layout, and can easily draw people into the story. The story is warm and thoughtful, and it does not deliberately sensationalize but reaches people's hearts. After reading it, it is not only like reading a story, but also like experiencing a spiritual touch. The overall structure is complete and the logic is clear. It is worth calming down and reading carefully. It is a good book that can make people gain something.
The atmosphere of this ancient fantasy sweet story is full of atmosphere, and the setting of the encounter between man and fox in the opening chapter is gentle and healing. A young man, Jiang Luochen, encounters Chi Ran, a spirit fox, in the secret realm of the cave. They spend time together day and night, and develop feelings for each other. There is no forced heartbeat, and the trivial daily routine is particularly touching: when he learns that the hero's mother is seriously ill, the little fox secretly catches fish to help support the family. The two fish together and spend their daily lives with fireworks, which is delicate and tender. The story is interspersed with the lines of human families, with supporting roles such as Meng Xiyang, Meng Muyao, and Meng Chaoyuan appearing. The scenes such as admiring lotuses in the foggy pool, taking shelter from the rain in the forest house, and sleeping under the trees are very graphic. Chiran is greedy for Qinshu and sleeps alone, Jiang Luochen takes care of her tenderly, and their interaction with each other is full of softness. The title of the book has its own foreshadowing of the past and present. The warmth of being together in the early stage is a foreshadowing of the bond that will cross reincarnation in the future. The antique writing style is elegant and there is no bloody sadomasochism. It focuses on the long-lasting two-way tenderness. Readers who prefer the bond between humans and foxes and the slow-burn fairy tale romance will like it very much.
The writing is smooth and the emotions are simple. The protagonist, who was born in poverty, has an indissoluble bond with the little fox. The little fox is grateful and repays the favor. Unfortunately, he does not understand the rules of the world and hurts the protagonist and himself. Can you let her live? 🤭🤭🤭🤭
It is a good book worth reading. The author starts with the love between immortals and mortals and guides the protagonist step by step to reach the peak. It is so enjoyable to read. The author's writing is delicate and smooth, and the plot description is real and touching. I can't stop reading.
This book "Part 1 of Ranchen" tells the story of Chiran, a spirit fox, and Jiang Luochen, a scholar, who first met and fell in love. In order to help Jiang's mother recover, she stole a chicken but was framed. Eventually, she was poisoned and died. Jiang Luochen was wronged and vowed to take revenge. This love between man and fox has gone from tenderness to tragedy, and the intertwining of conspiracy and affection is breathtaking [heartfelt].
An elegant and sad fairy tale. The spirit fox Chiran and the mortal Jiang Luochen met in the mountains and fields, and their daily life was full of tenderness. Just because demons and humans have different cognitions, some kind thoughts are misinterpreted by the world and end in tragedy. There is no bloody misunderstanding. As quiet and good as the first part is, the ending will be full of meaning and leave a long aftertaste.
Found a treasure! "Part 1 of the Colored Dust" has both a grand worldview and a description of emotions that are exquisite to the core. The settings of the thousand-year-old fox demon and the mortal boy are very poignant, and the collision between the daily life of fireworks and the fate of immortals and monsters is very tense. Looking forward to the follow-up plot!
There is a spirit fox hidden in the secluded forest, and you meet an old friend in the mortal world. "Part 1 of Ranchen" takes the ancient fantasy world as the background and unfolds a gentle and fateful love. The fox demon has been cultivating in solitude for thousands of years. Once he meets a mortal boy, fireworks are intertwined with the destiny of immortals and monsters. The writing style is clear and delicate, the atmosphere is perfect, and the portrayal of secret emotions is subtle and moving. The bonds between immortals, demons, and the earthly world are slowly unfolded, and there is tenderness and affection between the lines. The first chapter is the beginning of a long-lasting prelude to the world.
