The change of feelings between the female protagonist and the male protagonist is one of the most delicate hidden threads in this work. At first, she only regarded him as a "male model" and a "cowboy", a kind of self-comfort that "one night's sleep is not a loss". She plotted against him, used him, and used him as a springboard to escape. At that time, it was true that she said "I am afraid that I will die if I give birth to a child" and "I am afraid that you only want me because you bought me", but she always had a way out in her heart, "I will leave when I save enough money." But she didn't know when she would start to care about whether he had brought other women to the hot springs, she would be jealous to the point of dumping her when Kang hugged his shoulders, and she would look at his sleeping profile in the middle of the night and think "it's quite sexy". On the way away from home, she would ride her horse and think, "If he doesn't come back, I'll bite him to death." She scolded herself for being "love-brained" and for being "unsatisfactory," but feelings were something that could never be controlled by reason. Sui Jinglan's emotional changes are even more obscure. From the initial indifference of "bought concubine", to the later protection of "don't bully her", to the final action of "I will go to Shuntian Mansion to pick you up", he never said it, but every step was written in his actions. I feel that this is a very real ancient time-travel novel. The relationship between the heroine and the hero is not without conflicts, nor is it always sweet, but there are quarrels, quarrels, rain, and fights, but in the end they make do, but this make-shift hides love.
After reading Yun Xibai's "The Concubine of the Zhumen", I felt stuck in my heart for a long time. This is a completely anti-conventional book about house fighting in ancient Chinese novels. There is no counterattack in the novel, only the powerless struggle of a time-traveling woman in a deep feudal house. The female protagonist travels through time with a modern concept of equality and longs for unique preference, but the male protagonist is trapped in feudal ethics and thinks that he is treating her with the utmost preferential treatment. Four years of doting alone could not cover up the barrier of status in the backyard. A slap in the face or a sentence of jealousy with the child severely shattered all the heroine's fantasies. The male protagonist is not a complete scumbag, but an ordinary man born of the times. The gap between the two concepts is the biggest tragedy in the whole story. The author straightforwardly states that there are no three views, does not deliberately beautify love, and truly analyzes the dilemma of ancient concubines who could not help themselves. There is no happy ending, and the whole story is filled with the sadness of not getting what you want. It is full of stamina and is suitable for readers who prefer realistic and sadistic stories and can accept the male protagonist's non-clean setting. Follow up, five stars
"The Concubine of the Zhumen" is a recently unearthed treasure trove of ancient Chinese novels in the house fighting genre! The heroine travels back to the Kangxi period with a modern soul. She starts out as a humble concubine in a remote mountainous area. The hell mode starts with its own tension. The author's narrative rhythm is steady, and the daily life of farming and the conflicts of house fighting are naturally and seamlessly combined. The heroine's sobriety and resilience in difficult situations are particularly touching and not suspended at all. The update is currently stable, and the plot is getting better. It can be seen that the author is carefully developing the relationship between the characters, and the house fight is not bloody. Every step is very immersive. I look forward to the follow-up of the heroine's counterattack. It is worth following up!
The modern soul traveled back to the Kangxi period and became the concubine of Da Lang in a remote village. The heroine is both cowardly and strong-willed, and the feeling of being pulled by modern people when faced with ancient rules is very realistic. The writing is delicate and has been equaled. Readers who like time-travel farming stories with a sense of realism, without any suspension or routine, you can give this book a try.
It breaks away from the clichés of ancient novels about house fighting, and uses calm writing to reveal the cruel truth of the feudal backyard. The modern soul travels through time and becomes a concubine in a wealthy family. The heroine clearly sees the nature of the hero's favor and understands that in the era of three wives and four concubines, there is no single sincerity. The male protagonist is not a scumbag, but a feudal man bound by the ideas of the times. This realistic portrayal is extremely tense. The story is depressing and true, vividly describing the traveler's ideological dislocation and the pull between love and reality. The tone is melancholic and suitable for readers who prefer reality to ancient fiction.
The idea is good, and it fully captures the sadness within the walls of the old era. There are no brainless industrial sweeteners on the market, but more of a kind of sobriety and struggle caused by cognitive misalignment. It's very depressing but also really refreshing. There's so much human pull between the lines, it's beautiful.
It breaks away from the routine of traditional otaku fighting novels and tears away the tender veil of feudal patriarchy from a sober and cold perspective. As a time traveler, the heroine is well aware of the limitations of the times, but she is still caught between "favor" and "rules", persistently longing for a single sincerity. However, faced with the ignorance and indifference of the male protagonist who has not kept a concubine for four years but regarded it as "very good", she finally sobered up completely. This novel does not include the mindless counterattack of Goldfinger, nor the forced reconciliation of the male protagonist, but only a profound discussion of the disillusionment of ancient society in the modern context of "a pair for life." It is true and heart-wrenching, with a hint of the sadness of the times, and is suitable for readers who want to find emotional resonance and realistic reflection in ancient sayings.
I gained a lot after reading this book. There is no empty preaching in the book. Instead, it uses plain and delicate narratives to outline vivid characters and real life situations. There are deep thoughts on human nature, growth or worldly affairs hidden between the lines. The plot is relaxed and relaxed, the foreshadowing is cleverly designed, the writing rhythm is slow but full of stamina, and every detail has hidden ingenuity, which makes people calm down and read it over and over again. When reading, it is easy to immerse yourself in the situation, follow the protagonist through the ups and downs, glimpse the shadow of your own life, and gain emotional comfort and ideological inspiration. Both the writing skills and the core concept are very brilliant. It is not just a simple reading for entertainment, but more like a gentle spiritual dialogue. It is worth calming down and studying carefully, and it is also suitable for repeated reading to discover more hidden meanings.
This is not a cool novel that pursues counterattacks and slaps in the face. Its most poignant truth is precisely hidden in the male protagonist's sense of proportion that "is not a scumbag." He has not been close to another woman for four years, and he is a rare treat in the eyes of outsiders. He is gentle and considerate to the child in the mistress's belly, and provides him with adequate food and clothing, but he is unwilling to give her the single-mindedness that he desires. The sentence "Why are you jealous of your child?" Easily conveys the background of the era: in his deep-rooted feudal concept, concubines should not seek exclusivity, and living a stable life is a gift, and their heartbeats and preferences are always endless. The slap that fell on the heroine's face was a wake-up call that completely woke her up - all his gentleness had a bottom line, and the bottom line was the rules of respect and dignity, and the dignity of the family, but he did not have the intention of equality with her. The heroine traveled back in time with modern ideas of equality, longing for unique sincerity, but was trapped in the cage of three wives and four concubines. She clearly sees that grace is fragile, but she can't help but indulge in the trivial warmth. This conflict is written in a particularly delicate and moving way. The male protagonist is by no means a scumbag, he is just an ordinary man created by the times. His indifference and gentleness are derived from the old ethics engraved in his bones. There is no pure evil, but it brings long-lasting and unresolved grievances. The gap between the two people is never a love-hate entanglement, but two completely contradictory values that are destined to be unable to empathize. The author bluntly states at the beginning that "there are no three views and no moral integrity". He does not forcefully beautify the characters, nor does he arrange a happy ending in which the heroine tears the mistress to pieces and wins exclusive favor. It does not cater to readers' fantasies about perfect love, but directly explores the dilemma of concubines in ancient times who could not help themselves: the carved beams and painted buildings in the royal courtyard may appear to be glorious and wealthy, but in fact they are a cage that traps them throughout their lives. Favor is like foam in the water for a moment. As a woman in the backyard, she is only a subordinate of the man from the beginning to the end. It is wishful thinking to seek one and only one. The whole story is full of depression and sadness. There is no hearty revenge, only the loneliness of modern people's souls who have nowhere to rest under the feudal system. It sheds the romantic cloak of ancient romance and calmly writes about the passivity and sadness of women under the ancient marriage and love system. This realistic, restrained, house-fighting romance full of the dull pain of reality will bring you a completely different reading experience. The story is very interesting, keep following it!
"The Concubine" He was kidnapped and entered into a wealthy family. My hands are tied with hemp rope and my heart is heavy. I wanted to hang a yellow flag in peace, But he sells his soul in the wild market. Kang Po's smile was filled with coldness. The master picks his teeth and looks at the guest. Even with all the modern wisdom, It's hard to escape from an ancient house and a solitary grave. A time-travel farming novel full of tension and contrast. It constructs a very conflicting opening chapter: the only daughter of a modern well-off person travels to a woman with a yellow flag during the Kangxi period. It could have been smooth sailing, but she was abducted and trafficked because she avoided the draft and became the concubine of a rural landlord. In this setting where the protagonist falls from the "prodigy" into the quagmire, her wrists are strangled red. Facing the buyer's family (the gentleman who picks his teeth, the woman in coarse clothes, the neat and shrewd young woman), she does not dare to call for help because she is afraid of being beheaded because of her status as a runaway beauty. This shocking sense of depression, coupled with the introduction of "Going to the Capital to Find a Husband", heralds a difficult journey of survival between ethics and survival. The writing style is simple, the details are vividly described, and the characters are outlined in just a few strokes. In the intertwining of farming and house fighting, the struggle and counterattack of women in extreme environments are explored.
