It's a very interesting article. What do you eat tomatoes? A lot of novels with high scores of 9.9 Or so are written in the same way, but the author's level is only 6.9. It's unfair! It is said to be a palace fighting novel, but the first part is full of house fighting. The protagonist and supporting characters are described in a three-dimensional way. There is no modern dialect mixed with the vernacular, and the plot is not clichéd and has one link after another. The author has a great foundation. Chasing Chasing ~
Quite an authentic otaku story. I have read many similar feudal themes. I think this one is better than many similar works in that it does not deliberately charm the male protagonist. Many works claim that the male protagonist has three wives and four concubines and are unreliable, and they also claim that the female protagonist is sober and not addicted to emotions. However, the author's preference for the male protagonist is revealed everywhere in the words. The setting is light and critical, but the text does his best to be charming and white-washing, causing many readers to unconsciously develop a liking for such dirty men. I have seen similar arguments in many comment sections, and I feel speechless every time. However, this book rarely avoids this point. The positions of the heroine and the author are very clear-headed. 5 Stars-3 stars The plot is basically skipped since Huo's appearance. The general's illogical and almost lustful "affectionate" can actually move the heroine, who is well aware of the bad nature of men and has a blood feud, to a complete mess. Personally, I don't reject revenge stories with emotional lines, but the male protagonist should be able to assist and respect the female protagonist. Huo is not helpful to the heroine's revenge, and he always disrupts the heroine's plans. I can't see any sexual tension in his actions of using hands and feet to force kisses and hugs. I can only feel the control of this person's lower body. Upper body, and has no respect for the heroine at all. The heroine is a complete inferior in this relationship, and even does a lot of stupid things, such as being willing to risk a private meeting without revenge, and being so affectionate that she goes to bed with her daughter before she is taken back. Who remembers that this is a revenge heroine, not a robbery of a beloved wife. Of course I don't blame the heroine, I can only say that it's all caused by men. The purpose of reviewing the lightning protection point is to give readers like me a reference. If Huo is an official character, you can mark it in the introduction so that readers will not be disappointed by half of the movie. If not, I hope this emotional line can be closed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for readers who hate this character to stick to it. There is no need to reply to me if you can enjoy it. Everyone has different tastes and there is no need to convince each other. —— 3 Stars-5 stars It was also full of twists and turns, and the five stars were added back because the heroine finally got rid of Huo's shackles in the later period and took her daughter to live freely in the mountains and rivers. I think it has an open ending with Zhao Yi, so you can imagine where you like. The important thing is that the heroine finally walked out of one rich family after another and gained freedom.
It's super good-looking, with an ancient and pure otaku fighting style, but I don't want to see the heroine "take the upper hand". The Zhao family is not worthy of her staying. The author should give the heroine and General Huo a good ending [I'm about to cry]
Definitely not a primary school student's writing, it doesn't have so many messy adjectives, and the plot is novel. The rating is inexplicably low, it should be 9.5. As long as the author can maintain this level, it will be fine if he writes slowly, I can wait! I'm so happy to see the score rising little by little!
It's even, the plot arranged by the author is very subtle, and the heroine is very smart and humane. The maid and Xiangyu beside the heroine are all living people of flesh and blood. I hope the author can give Xiangyu a good ending. . I especially praise the heroine for giving birth to a daughter (I thought it was a son for the foreshadowing). Many novels always arrange for the heroine to give birth to a son. I am tired of reading it. My favorite thing is to see a mother and daughter connect. There is no deeper relationship than a mother's love for her daughter and a daughter's love for her mother. . The portrayal of the male protagonist is also very good, and does not create a false image of a good man in ancient times for readers. When reading the book, I clearly realized that he is unreliable.
1. The writing is delicate and beautiful; 2. The gender awareness is relatively advanced. The heroine gives birth to a daughter, does not whitewash her husband, and writes the despicability of men very thoroughly, and the men should be replaced in the future (there are currently two male guests who look okay, which is good. The most annoying plot is that the man has three wives and four concubines); 3. The plot is novel and the revenge is neat and tidy. When I saw the heroine sending her enemy who was forced to love her in the previous life and giving it to the boss to be his male pet, I was really shocked. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I have been a book fan for 20 years and have read almost a thousand books. Generally, I can't get enough of them. Recently, I really can't get into them. I just started reading and read the end. I accidentally opened this book, and I was immediately attracted to it. I had no intention of eating, and my children were late from school [laughing and crying]. The writing is so good, and the plot is also reasonable and tortuous. It makes people want to stop reading it. I tied it immediately. What I am unhappy about is that it is serialized. It will be even more uncomfortable to wait! After looking at the author, I found that this is the only one. .
Give it to ram. One touching point is that the heroine actually felt sad after Xiangyu's death. This was due to the butterfly effect caused by her return, and she was particularly kind. This book is actually quite enjoyable. The writing is good and the characters are well-drawn, which makes it very realistic. It is very beautiful. It can be regarded as one of the top three otaku novels I have read (I like to read novels that are not sluggish but not too daily, and have a sense of excitement but are not too mature for Mary Sue's writing. The male protagonist/partner is not brainless and has shortcomings. This book satisfies all these requirements). I highly recommend it.
The best ancient saying I have ever seen on Tomato! The most rare thing is that it uses a shell of ancient sayings to wrap a very sober and compassionate modern heart. This is not a story of rebirth that relies on men to rise to power, but a book of awakening that truly puts women at the center of heaven and earth. At first, I thought this was just an ordinary pornographic article with excellent writing skills. The vicious female supporting character is repeatedly crushed, which not only brings a hearty feeling, but also a sense of sadness, because she herself is also a victim swallowed by fate and discipline. As for the ex-husband's eldest son, he was not completely bad, but good and cheap. The heroine's hatred from the previous life, while passing away day after day, even gave me the illusion that "for the sake of the child, it is not a bad idea to just waste my time." It wasn't until I read the heroine's bloody confession when she killed her ex-husband that I suddenly realized that I had not only underestimated Xue Su, but also the author's writing power and ambition. It was not a woman venting her anger, but a soul trapped in a rich family who finally broke the first shackles that imprisoned her with her own hands. The story does not fall into the cliché of "kick out the scumbag and replace him with a stronger man". The heroine's attitude towards General Huo is the best proof. It wasn't that she hadn't been heartbroken, but when the young general who was once a proud young man was twisted by blood feud and began to use "Gui Yin Yuan" to place her under house arrest, she keenly sensed something was wrong. "" Is a soft and tender grass, and the name itself conveys a sense of domestication. From the desert island design to the step-by-step siege in the name of love, the heroine finally did not fall in love, realized Lan Yin early, and decisively left with the sentence "it will never be as good as before". She is not the catkin that can be picked at will, she is a tree that can protect her from the wind and rain. She would rather go to the wind and rain than wither in the sweet cage. What really shines in the article is the support between the women. When the heroine is in crisis, almost all of the people who lend a helping hand are women. Even the one who helps her get rid of General Huo at the end is a tall and strong woman - this character who is usually set as a male in ordinary novels, is slightly changed by the author, allowing people to see another possibility. This idea of "girls helps girls" does not rely on slogans, but is hidden in every plot, making it stable and powerful. The female group portraits are written with flesh and blood, and even the villains are never stereotyped. You can see their struggle and pain, and how they step by step reach the point of betrayal and separation within their own limitations and desires, which makes people hate and sigh. The heroine has experienced four men in her life: the prince, General Huo, Crazy Pi Tong Si, and Zhao Yi, who always respects her. Each of them, taken alone, is enough to be the male protagonist in other novels, but here, none of them belong to each other. For the prince, she was not blinded by love words, and her revenge was clear-headed and decisive. She was definitely not the old way of a concubine fighting against her mistress. For the crazy critic Tong Si, who acted like a "sister dog" by force and robbery, she sent him to the King of Chu's bed with a backhand, and then killed him neatly when he raised his knife to seek revenge. Only the manservant who saved her from the fire time and time again and truly regarded her as a "human" got an open ending. And the heroine's final choice completely breaks out of the cycle of "fighting against the rich". She said she didn't want to fight anymore, so she took her daughter to the mountains and rivers, went overseas, and became a master of painting in her later years. From a rich family to heaven and earth, from hatred to creation, this is what a true heroine novel should look like.
The writing is really great. I couldn't imagine that this is a new contestant. I thought I was watching Dream of Red Mansions. It's full of ancient charm and women can't control their own destiny. Hey, I still think most of the women here are pitiful and hateful.
