Book review:
At the beginning of my writing, I outlined a fateful confrontation with great tension. When the deposed queen entered the temple, she met the general's daughter who had been imprisoned for ten years - two women who had been abandoned by the world, and met each other in shock in the ancient temple of wind and snow. The author is good at using details to carve out characters: Su Mowan's spine "like a gun stuck in the cracks of the stone", the wild plum blossoms in Shen Qingci's hands, and the words "I protect the people in this temple" in the dark night, all bury the emotional thread quietly. The best thing is the subtle "seeing" between the two heroines - not pity, but sympathy for each other. The writing style is as cold as winter snow, but there is a hidden fiery flame, making people look forward to how this encounter in Hanshan Temple will ignite a prairie fire.
