My "Ocean Blue" The creation of "Ocean Blue" was a decades-long journey for me. Ever since I came up with the idea of creating, this pen has been on and off, following me through the spring and autumn, through ups and downs. From youthful longing to calmness, time has not only changed me, but also allowed words and thoughts to quietly settle over the years. After finishing the manuscript, I went over it again and again and polished it carefully. Only I know the joys and sorrows involved. At the end of 2025, I finally wrote the last stroke of my first novel "Ocean Blue". The book has approximately 1.02 Million words, with the emotions of Hai Lan, Yang Fan and Shen Xinghe as the main thread, reflecting the diverse world views, values, outlook on life and outlook on love in contemporary society. There are laughter and tears in the story, sweetness and bitterness, just like life itself. For me, sea blue is not a dream, but a real existence. She lives in my heart, stays by my side, and walks somewhere in this world. She is growth, dawn, and self-salvation. It saved me and allowed me to get out of the mud and look at the distance of life again. She is also the person I aspire to be in parallel time and space: smart, beautiful, sober, and tough, knowledgeable but not worldly, smooth yet naive. Even though I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, I am still a young man at heart. She is an imperfect but bright report card in my life, which makes me believe that all the passing time has not been wasted, and every effort will eventually have an echo. In the mornings when the sky is full of morning glow, in the hot and chaotic afternoons, and in the long and lonely late nights, when I face the screen and talk to her with my soul, she has always been with me, warmed me, and inspired me. My tears and sweat rose into clouds and fell into rain, nourishing my heart, watering the orchard, and ultimately enriching my entire life. Everything starts from tenderness and ends with maturity; Everything starts from dreams and ends in sobriety; Everything starts from the hustle and bustle and ends in silence. But this is all good. It is precisely because we have cried, laughed, loved and suffered that life is so complete. Hailan, I wish—— I have gone through many vicissitudes of life, but your sky is high and the clouds are pale; I have overcome thorns and thorns, but your years have been peaceful; My road is blue and blue, but your garden is full of fruits. I hope that everything I lose will be your gain, and everything I gain will be your wish. Thank you to "Ocean Blue" and thank you to everyone who never gives up. Full of autumn water, light spring mountains. From now on, I give myself flowers and ride my horse to sing to freedom. Thank you, dear friends, for downloading the "Tomato Free Novels" App in order to read my novels. Your support has given me great confidence. "Give me peaches and give me Qiongyao in return." I will always cherish this friendship in my heart. May we all face the sun with all our hearts, and move forward warmly in our respective directions without asking anything about the east or the west. ❤️❤️❤️
"Hai Lan" is a work of her soul that she spent decades refining. The protagonist Hai Lan is endowed with the vivid qualities of "knowing the world but not being worldly, having a smooth history but remaining innocent". Judging from the published chapter titles and emotional main lines, the opening chapter may reflect contemporary people's profound exploration of love, ideals and self-worth through the intertwined fates of Hai Lan, Yang Fan and Shen Xinghe. Your ultimate pursuit of character creation - making Hailan "the longed-for self in parallel time and space" has injected vitality into the story that directly touches people's hearts. As readers, we not only look forward to the ups and downs of the plot, but also long to see ourselves in the text who "overcame thorns and thorns but finally gained peace in the years". Thank you for turning half your life into stars and illuminating our common spiritual sea. I hope this painstaking work will bloom with thousands of echoes in Tomato Novels, and the sea blue in your writing will eventually sing freely and reach the hearts of all readers. "Ocean Blue", I deeply feel that this is not only a novel, but also an epic of life watered by your bones and blood. In the long scroll of 1.02 Million words, the tenacity and growth of Hailan are just like the rose in your writing that has gone through wind and frost and finally blooms - looking for a lighthouse in the storm and regaining hope in the broken place. You turned your personal difficulties into creative nourishment and made your novel an ark of self-salvation. This persistence is touching. The roses in your hometown courtyard and the sea blue in your paintings are your tribute to the resilience of life. You said that "all the passing time is never wasted", and readers also see from Hailan's story: true freedom is to still retain innocence and desire after passing through the darkness. Nowadays, the novel is serialized on the platform, just like the rose branches planted back then have finally turned into a sea of flowers. Every page turn is an echo of persistence. As readers, we are willing to follow this light and walk side by side with you in the sea of words. Your voyage with your pen as your sail has already lit up the stars for countless lost people. [Sun][Rose][Rose][Rose][Strong][Strong][Strong][Fist][Fist][Fist] "Ocean Blue" is a serialized novel with a grand narrative of 1.02 Million words, constructing a philosophical world about growth, redemption and self-pursuit. The author Rui Xue reflects the diverse values and outlook on life in contemporary society through the emotional entanglements of Hai Lan, Yang Fan and Shen Xinghe. The character Hailan is not only a fictional character written by the author, but also a spiritual projection - she is smart, tough, sober, and remains innocent despite vicissitudes of life, symbolizing the author's expectations for the ideal self. In the novel, tears and sweat turn into rain and dew that nourish life, and every pain and laughter becomes a complete puzzle of life. Ruixue uses words as a boat to carry readers ups and downs in the ocean of life, and finally reaches the other shore where "all efforts have echoes", allowing readers to glimpse the depth and beauty of life in the folds of the story.
"Sea Blue and Sea Blue" has beautiful writing, delicate descriptions, and accurate capture of details. It is very artistic and attractive. It is suitable to read slowly and quietly, and savor it carefully. Teacher Xuefang is a beautiful person, a beautiful heart, beautiful paintings, beautiful poems, and beautiful prose. The beauty of novels and words can also purify the soul. Warm congratulations to editor-in-chief Xuefang for her novel being published on the Tomato platform. Welcome to read and comment. I believe that everyone will understand more philosophies of life in the story of Hai Lan, Yang Fan and Shen Xinghe. Let us look forward to the book "Hai Lan Hai Lan" being recognized by readers and achieving great success! When you are tired, annoyed, or heartbroken, come on and read these words. These words are all-encompassing. When you read them, you will definitely find peace and regain the strength to stand in the world. Even a little bit of strength is enough for you to transcend those crumbling feelings of fragmentation!
Ruixue's writing style is my favorite. Her brushwork never deliberately pursues hustle and bustle, just like the quietly falling snowflakes in winter, light but containing power. In those unhurried narrations, the characters are like ink and wash, gradually becoming fuller stroke by stroke; emotions are accumulated layer by layer between the lines, becoming more mellow. Reading her words is like hearing thunder in a silent place. Under the plain narrative, there is a turbulent undercurrent. Behind the seemingly calm appearance, there is a profound flavor of life. Such words are like a cup of fine tea. It is as light as water when you first taste it. After drinking it carefully, you will feel that it has a long and sweet aftertaste. The aftertaste hidden between the lines will still linger in the heart after closing the book, lingering for a long time, allowing people to find a pure land to settle their souls in the noisy world.
I downloaded Tomato because of the author, and I am here because of the author. This spontaneous rush begins with respect for the author's character and admiration for his talent. The character and aura between the lines make us willing to anchor in the same harbor of words. The novel is so well written that I tied it in one breath. I particularly like the author's description of the scenes in his hometown in Zhejiang. From the fragrance of osmanthus to the sparse shadows of winter plums in the depths of the courtyard, every plant and tree is sentimental, and every word is touching. Reading it feels like taking a breath of spring breeze, and feels like returning to my hometown. May Ruixue get her wish, flowers bloom in her writing, and she can see the happiness in the world. May we all be in the words, wholeheartedly facing the sun, and be as gentle as ever. May you wish you good health and good health every year.
Rui Xue's million-word novel "Ocean Blue" uses specific narrative strategies to construct an effective "healing" text paradigm. The work actively utilizes the characteristics of the Internet media - such as short chapter structure, suspense setting and real-time interaction - to establish a "symbolic order" to channel and compensate for real-life anxiety, and ultimately completes a spiritual healing that targets contemporary emotional needs.
The most touching thing about "Ocean Blue" is that it writes about a group of "normal" adults. There is no workplace bullying, no intrigues, and no bloody fights. Companies are partners, colleagues help each other, and there is warmth between people and stray cats. This is not because the author cannot write about conflicts, but because she chooses to write about another possibility - adults can survive without stepping on each other, and love can be restrained because of true love. Hai Lan is the embodiment of this "normal". She is sober-minded, independent and self-reliant. She knows what she wants and dares to give up what she wants. Heal when you're hurt, don't blame others, and don't dump your emotions on the people around you. Such women are not the tool people in Shuangwen, but what people want to be in reality. As for Yang Fan and Shen Xinghe, one is unruly and childish, while the other is calm and knowledgeable, hiding persistence. They both love Hailan deeply and restrainedly - "I love you, it has nothing to do with you" is not an excuse for a scumbag, it is the sense of propriety that only comes from true love. It's not just about a love triangle, it's about a group of people living seriously in the world. There are warmth and waves, joys and sorrows, sweetness and bitterness, just like life itself. I've been reading it – this book deserves such immersion. The most touching thing in "Ocean Blue" is not the love triangle between talented men and beautiful women, but the group of people with bones in the author's works. Hailan's sobriety and independence, Yang Fan's unruly childishness, Shen Xinghe's calm persistence, and Lily's straightforwardness and liveliness - each of them seems to have come out of life, rather than being made up. Modern urban writing is the most difficult to write. There is no ready-made framework to apply, it all depends on the author's precipitation and insight into life. And every page of this book reveals a solid foundation: delicate psychological portrayal, interlocking plot design, and the positive energy that runs throughout. Hai Lan's way of self-healing after being injured, and Yang Fan's struggle and honesty when facing the truth, all tell readers: Real strength is not the absence of weaknesses, but knowing how to reconcile with oneself. The author has put a lot of effort into it, and readers can taste the real taste. This is a work worth reading slowly and carefully.
This novel uses a grand and dense narrative to weave an urban story with diverse beings. Although there are many characters, each has its own soul; although the plots are complex, they are interlocking, making the book eloquent and engaging, and attracting people to gradually get involved in the story. The author's language skills are particularly profound, his pen and ink are fresh and beautiful, and he understates the depression and tenacity deep in the human world with a light-weighted style. His mastery of the structure of a long novel is perfect. Between the interlacing of multiple lines and the flow of time and space, he always has a clear context and a coherent rhythm, showing a calm and unhurried narrative style.
It is a modern urban emotional novel with very delicate and vivid details and a strong visual sense. The image of the heroine Hailan is like the sea breeze blowing, sober, bright, soft, and full of emotions. The readers are immediately involved in it, and they can't tell whether it is the heroine or the perfect self they like. It is the blue of the sea, a shining pearl in the bustling city, and a rare figure. The male protagonist is also very eye-catching. Not all young men in big cities are immoral and immoral. They are talented without losing their ego. Their good looks and intelligence coexist. How can people not love him?
This novel is filled with a warm and fresh atmosphere between the lines, and the language is vivid and natural, making it easy for people to immerse themselves in it. The descriptions of the characters are delicate and vivid, and the emotions and stories are narrated in the writing, making it very moving to read. I like this work very much, cheers for the author!
