I'm a New Writer. I've Just Written 80,000 Words for the First Time. Could Someone Give It a Review?
I'd like to read something similar to "The Legend of the Dragon King: Misty Clouds Defying Fate". It's the author's first time writing a story that's over 80,000 words, and now they want to work hard toward 400,000, aiming for that kind of length. They're bored at home after just finishing their first semester of college, and their writing style...

Palace Intrigue! High Status! HE! A Clever Lead
Ideally, an ensemble cast with women supporting one another. I want high-born characters, not stories about slowly climbing the ranks. Most importantly, the characters must be smart, and the supporting cast shouldn't be treated like idiots! Something that's both enjoyable and moving.
Looking for Palace: The Lockheart Jade, or Stories and Mini-Worlds Based on Old TV Dramas
I want something similar to The Hunter's Daughter in the Qing Dynasty Just Wants a Steady Life. Has anyone written a story about Luo Qingchuan from Palace Lock Heart Jade? Or one where she becomes friends with Luo Qingchuan, and the characters can still travel back to the modern world? There should be things to do in both ancient and modern times, with travel back and forth between them.

Liu Pianran, the daughter of the prime minister, was tired of the hypocritical life around her. She escaped from the prime minister's mansion and was chased by the second prince's men and entered the monkey king's jungle, starting a story of falling in love and killing each other. The novel is exciting and beautiful, with rich and compact content and an exciting plot.
The author's brilliance lies in the perfect collision between the wildness of the "Monkey King" and the depth of his machinations. He doesn't understand the detours in the court, but he can discern people's hearts with the keenness of a jungle hunter; he disdains intrigues, but can break the situation in the most direct way, catching a group of wily politicians off guard. Those seemingly "untimely" sincerities have become the sharpest weapons in the step-by-step maneuvering field. The intrigues in the court also subtly rubbed off his edges, but never erased the kindness in his heart. When he still chooses to protect the weak and uphold morality in the maze of power, the light of humanity that has traveled through the wilderness and temples has the power to directly touch people's hearts.
This work can be called a masterpiece, the writing is as delicate as silk, and the plot has ups and downs and is fascinating. The author uses ingenuity to build a grand and real world, with vivid and three-dimensional characters and sincere and moving emotions. The reading process is like experiencing a fantasy journey, sometimes tense and exciting, sometimes tender, making you want to stop. It shows the author's profound literary skills and extraordinary imagination. Highly recommended, definitely worth reading again and again, and the five-star review is well deserved!
The author's most wonderful stroke is the fusion of the law of the jungle and the ways of machination. The protagonist's transformation from a "wild man in the mountains" who doesn't understand the rules of the court to a master of power and strategy step by step is not an overnight transformation, but a step-by-step transformation of the survival skills learned in the mountains and forests into the means of court games: watching the wind and discerning the situation as easily as listening. There is a sound of wind in the forest. Forming an alliance to defend against the enemy is like walking with a ferocious beast. Hidden in defense is like hibernating in a dense forest. Every choice of advancing or retreating is filled with primitive vitality, making this power struggle less pedantic calculation and more refreshing. The emotional line in the story is also more intense because of the ancient machinations. The sympathy with a close friend is mutual support in troubled times; the mutual understanding with a beauty is a touch of tenderness in the game of chess; the bond with the monkeys who brought him up is his last weakness in the cold court. These emotions are not accessories to the plot, but the protagonist's true heart that he always adheres to as he climbs up step by step. This gives the plotter who came out of the mountains the warmth of flesh and blood, rather than a cold power machine.
To be honest, it's very interesting. It's almost like an ancient version of Tarzan. Although I feel like I can probably tell what the ending will be like after watching the beginning, I still can't help but want to see what the plot will be like and whether there will be anything new. After reading a few chapters, I found that there are quite a lot of elements, the writing is also very good, the bandits are also interesting, and the various details are well described. I highly recommend it.
The oriental version of Tarzan, the ancient version of Beauty and the Beast, when the law of the jungle encounters the intrigues of the court, it seems simple and straightforward, but unexpectedly becomes the key to breaking the situation, and the love story also becomes the highlight.
The daughter of the Prime Minister fell into the mortal world and met the Monkey King in her life. The story setting is interesting and the characters have their own personalities. The writing style is delicate and smooth without any lag, and it is worth reading——
It seemed funny at the beginning, so I'll keep following it
This is the first contact between subject matter and perspective. Quite innovative.
The story of the daughter of a marquis being chased and straying into the jungle and falling in love with and killing the prince's son. The setting is novel and unique, and the writing is delicate and beautiful.
