This is a very engaging period drama, best read slowly and attentively. The female lead is kind but not saintly, gentle yet strong. She lives with clarity and caution. Her first love is beautiful, and although the male lead appears late in the story, I believe that a woman as insightful as her can find happiness with anyone.
The author's writing is excellent; it's the first time in all my years of reading Tomato's work that I've encountered such well-written and genuinely skillful work. It has a classic, old-fashioned feel, reminiscent of the essays in magazines I read as a child. The characters seem ordinary, yet each possesses their own wisdom for survival, often vividly portrayed with just a few strokes.
It's very well written. While reading, I really empathized with the characters and hoped they would have a happy ending. Now, what I really want is for the author to know who the female lead's love interest is? The first love story is so sweet, it's so heartbreaking!!!
This was my first time reading a historical fiction novel, and I was absolutely blown away. It's completely different from typical wish-fulfillment novels; it moves at a leisurely pace, allowing the reader to unconsciously calm down. I switched from listening to it to reading it myself. I admire the female lead's kindness and her principled and ethical approach to life.
Like a peddler praising their own wares, I'll give myself a positive review to encourage myself—every first time in life deserves to be treated with care! Please be lenient with any shortcomings and turn your attention to the online articles you enjoy. Feel free to offer opinions, but please be gentle; my heart can't take too much criticism at my age 😅
It's good-looking, and there's nothing messy or unreasonable about it. There's too much description of the female lead's appearance, giving off a self-absorbed vibe that's a bit off-putting.
The story is really well-written. The title is "Courtyard House," but the courtyard house is just a backdrop. I really love the female lead's personality. The most amazing thing is the author; they have depth and skill, and their writing is superb!
It's good, but I didn't quite understand the plot after the first fiancé suddenly left. 🤔
I was going to give it four stars, but the author made such a good character like Youmin end up alone, it made me cry my eyes out. But then I read the epilogue and felt sorry for Lin Shen. What's wrong with that? Does the author have to let someone down?
The main story is a pity for Youmin; first love is beautiful and unforgettable, but sadly, they couldn't be together because of their shared love for their country. In the parallel world of the epilogue, although she is with Youmin, it's still heartbreaking to see Lin Shen's unrequited love! Ultimately, one of them has to be let down.
