Reader comments
The most touching part of the novel lies in the two-way prisoner and guarder.
:
Yeluye imprisoned Shen Nianci's body, but trapped his own heart. He taught her the art of cavalry and archery, making her strong enough to kill him; he abandoned her engagement, quelled civil strife, and robbed the court to save Zhou Ye for her, just to keep her promise to "let him live."
Shen Nianci made a three-year agreement and used gentleness as a weapon, but in getting along day after day, she saw clearly the loneliness and affection of this "enemy". When she finally returned, it was not a compromise, but the freedom that she once longed for could not survive the longing." This is a more complete willingness than any force.
