This novel skillfully tells a story within its limited space. Zhang Pengfei, raised as a boy and suffering from gender identity disorder, and Jinhua, whose father's authoritarianism and mother's weak and submissive nature led her to suppress her emotions from a young age, unexpectedly meet, get to know each other, and fall in love.
The author possesses strong writing skills, narrating clearly and engagingly, setting it apart from typical online novels and giving it a feel of a TV series. Each character is vividly portrayed, possessing their own distinct personality, making it a truly captivating novel.
This is the first time I've read this type of story. The plot is very engaging, and you can never guess what will happen next. A character I thought would have a longer appearance is suddenly killed off. Twists, twists, and more twists! Keep it up, author!!!
When I wrote *The Water Plant Buried a Murder for Twenty Years*, I kept thinking that the most terrifying thing is never a shocking murder case, but the secret hidden beneath the ordinary surface of life. An old water plant, supplying water day after day, frequented by ordinary people, yet twenty years had quietly buried a sin deep within the soil.
I've finished listening. The novel is short and concise, yet complete in its entirety. The author's descriptions are delicate, making the reader feel as if they are there, creating a vivid picture. The character portrayals are deeply moving, with distinct personalities, and I liked the ending. Overall, it's well-written.
I'd give it a 95. Although the story takes place around the turn of the millennium, not too far back in time, it's situated at the forefront of an information age revolution. The story is relatively novel, the pacing is a bit fast, the early part is suspenseful and unpredictable, and the latter half becomes somewhat mindless.
The rating is too low. I finished reading it all. Every character is vividly portrayed, with great attention to detail. It's a great book! The case is similar to "Cold Cases," a serial murder case that wasn't solved until twenty years ago. If it weren't for the new case, it's likely that the case from twenty years ago would never have been solved.
You should check out the guesthouses, I just wanted to say, oh oh oh, you have to...
The plot is very captivating and makes you want to keep reading. The atmosphere is also very well done, with a lot of suspense. I hope the author will update more often!
The author is from Inner Mongolia. This is the first time I've seen a fellow villager's work. It's well-written, with a smooth style and clear logic. Keep up the good work!
