The setting of the heroine returning to take revenge after raising a sword for ten years really struck a chord with me. She doesn't have a silly and sweet aura, and she simply doesn't procrastinate in doing things. The motivations of the characters are quite real, the line of betrayal and redemption is laid out naturally, and it reads smoothly. It is the type of book that can make people calm down and follow the novel.
My second traditional martial arts novel (yes, it's still Lily, but there will be very few emotional scenes this time, and it mainly describes the heroine's road to revenge). I hope you all like it [Sending Hearts] [Sending Hearts] [Sending Hearts] Please support me, add bookshelf, and leave comments [Adoration]
Qu Honglian's character is very vivid, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and a bit "mean". She is ruthless when exposing the stagnation and hypocrisy of people in the world, but she drops all guard in front of Zhou Wanqing. The return after ten years of hibernation contains both the determination of revenge and the tenderness of protection, which makes it very immersive to read.
I love this kind of Jianghu novel with a heroine! Qu Honglian fell from being the best in the world to the abyss, and then climbed back to the top on her own. Ten years of sword training was not only a training in skills, but also a grinding of heart. Her ruthlessness towards betrayers, compassion for innocents, and persistence towards those she protects are so full of layers that people can relate to her. The plot has constant twists and turns, from close friends turning against each other to surviving desperate situations, every famous scene is full of tension, with both the joy of pleasure and hatred, and the weight of morality and justice. After watching it, I just want to watch more, and I can't stop at all!
After ten years of sharpening a sword, the sword still burns "Red Lotus Fire" when it comes back - a passionate fantasy romance revenge epic I accidentally clicked on this book and was caught by the sentence in the introduction: "After ten years of dormancy, she crawled back to earth from hell." I finished reading the updated chapters in one go and couldn't help but write this book review. What impressed me most was the extreme resilience of the protagonist "Qu Honglian". She fell from being the best in the world, her best friend was betrayed, her lover was taken away, and she was disabled. This start was almost a desperate situation. But the author did not let her be reborn quickly by "cheating", but gave her "ten years" - in the countryside, she shattered the once proud "Nine Songs of Red Lotus" inch by inch and rebuilt a new sword. This "break and then build" setting makes her road to revenge full of weight and persuasiveness, and every step of her growth seems particularly solid and precious. The plot of the story also goes beyond simple personal grudges. What Qu Honglian has to fight against is not only the dark network set up by her former enemy "Princess Zhaoyang Zhao Yuanzhen", but also the accumulated abuses and injustices of the entire world for ten years. She rescued orphans and took in refugees, and the "red lotus fire" she gathered was not to dominate, but to "cleanse the filth." This idea of sublimating personal revenge to protection and change makes the whole story suddenly grander and makes people excited to watch it. The author's writing style is very ancient martial arts style, the fighting scenes are fierce and full of pictures, which is very rare, and the emotional portrayal is very delicate. In particular, the entanglement of past betrayal and the foreshadowing of the complex relationship between characters make people full of expectations for the subsequent development. The plot is currently advancing to Qu Honglian's return to the world, with undercurrents surging from all sides, and the suspense set up is very gripping. I have to say that this is a high-quality fantasy + romance + martial arts + revenge work with a solid setting, a dazzling protagonist, and a broad layout. If you also like tough and powerful heroines, obsessed with step-by-step revenge and hearty battles, then Qu Honglian's journey of "Sword Washing the World" is definitely worth adding to your bookshelf! Looking forward to the day when the "red lotus fire" burns away the dark night!
This article is really good to read. The writing is very good and the description is very detailed. I felt very comfortable reading it. The plot is also very novel and doesn't feel like a cliche. Like, like, like, those who didn't see it strongly recommend it, you won't lose money if you invest in it! !
This book is a super touching martial arts revenge novel! Qu Honglian was so miserable. She was tricked by her most trusted sister and lost her martial arts skills. She also lost her lover. It was like hell. But ten years later, when she came back full of blood, it was so refreshing to see her tearing them apart! The author writes the ultimate love and hate between girls very well. The plot is full of counter-attacks without taking a breath, I love watching Qu Honglian deal with everyone with a cold face! Recommended to all the sisters who want to watch the happy feud between the young ladies! [Send heart][Send heart][Send heart]
It is truly a masterpiece... There are no awkward dialogues, no childish stories, just the joyful grievances of the children of the world, the swords and shadows of the struggle between good and evil, ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable, Honglian and Wanqing finally come together like the Condor Heroes. There are too many regrets and reluctances. People who have sacrificed their lives to maintain the right path of the world, and people who have been swept away and died in the intertwining of interests can only end up saying that all the ups and downs in the world are discussed over wine.
As a work that focuses on "killing and decisive heroine + martial arts + GL + all-female martial arts", it breaks out of the inherent framework of traditional martial arts. It not only retains the bloody chaos of the martial arts world, but also injects a different kind of warmth into this world of pleasure and hatred with the unique perspective of an all-female group portrait. The author's writing style is concise and powerful, and although the tone is dark, it is never blindly depressing - just as the review said, "The language is concise and powerful, and the tone is dark. Because it is an all-female group portrait, there is an extra touch of tenderness." This tenderness is the sympathy between children in the world, the mutual support in desperate situations, and the most touching glimmer of humanity besides machinations and vendettas. The three-dimensional sense of character creation is the most dazzling edge of this work. The image of the heroine Qu Honglian has long surpassed the single label of "revenge heroine" and is so vivid that she seems to be walking out of the page. In the early days, she was the unruly and arrogant number one in the world, with a stunning and decisive look in her red clothes stained with blood. After being betrayed by her best friend, her lover taken away, and surrounded by masters, she fell into the abyss. Instead of sinking into the abyss, she spent ten years in the village, shattering the past "Nine Songs of the Red Lotus" inch by inch, and growing a new sword only for revenge and protection from the remaining body. This "toughness" is the stubbornness engraved in the bones, and it is also the background that touches readers the most. She was not born an invincible god, but a person who actively chose to wear armor and hold a sword after going through purgatory. She had the decisiveness to kill when she was highly skilled in martial arts, the domineering power to level the enemy's gate and overturn a ten-year conspiracy; she also had the softness to take off her armor and talk about her troubles in front of the one she loves. This "powerful and tragic" quality makes her growth arc particularly moving. From the embarrassment of falling from the altar to the calmness of returning to the world, her sense of story makes people feel affection and admiration.
The overall style is a combination of hardness and softness, with both the pleasure and hatred of swords and swords and the warmth and perseverance of protecting relatives and friends. The core idea of "raising a sword for ten years, and the sword will wash over the world" runs throughout and is very contagious.
