My name is Shen Ye. I was supposed to die when I was three.
Grandpa says I'm doomed to die within a hundred days, with a congenital Yin curse hidden inside me. To keep me alive, he, an heir to the Maoshan tradition, spent half his life cultivating his powers. Every year, he traded away some of his own lifespan to borrow years from five clans: the Ghost, Fox, Wolf, Corpse, and Gu clans.
That went on for fifteen years.
Now my eighteenth birthday is approaching, and it's time to repay the debt. Grandpa told me that the contract signed back then had a line of fine print on the back: Once the borrower turns eighteen, he must marry a direct descendant of each clan. Otherwise, the Yin curse will devour him, and his soul will be annihilated.
Five clans, five marriages.
Before I could even process the terrible news, the new transfer student at school gave me an eerie smile. On the roof of the girls' dormitory late at night, someone sang an old song from thirty years ago. And the red mark on my wrist, the one that represented my lifespan, was fading at an impossible rate
Someone doesn't want me to live to eighteen.
I felt very enjoyable reading the whole story, the plot rhythm is relaxed and relaxed, the plots are interlocking and progressive, and there is no sense of procrastination and redundancy at all. The characterizations are vivid and three-dimensional, and each character has its own personality and undertones. They are full of flesh and blood and are not stereotyped. Their words and deeds fit the character's character, making it easy for people to empathize with them. The story has a profound concept, not only the ups and downs of the plot, but also hidden delicate human feelings and profound insights. The writing style between the lines is delicate and smooth, and the atmosphere is full. The foreshadowing is cleverly laid, the twists are naturally stunning, and every detail has a hidden meaning. It is still unfinished until the end, and the aftertaste is long. Immerse yourself in the world of the story, which has both gripping tension and heart-touching tenderness. It is a highly contagious and high-quality work that gets better and better the more you read it.
Come, the author read with me, and I solemnly swear: starting from today, I will never update. I will not watch dramas, travel, or get sick. I will play no games, no hydrology. Strict self-discipline, cherishing time like gold, perseverance, hard work, advocating first-class, striving for brilliance, taking pleasure in coding, being tempered into steel, and worthy of readers, worthy of youth, and worthy of the future. As an author, I solemnly declare: I firmly believe that I am an excellent author. Coding is my bounden duty. I have unlimited potential and am not afraid of hardship! I can code words diligently. I am a keyboard in the dark and a guard on the Great Wall of Internet. I voluntarily dedicate my life to code words every day and every night.
To be honest, when I first saw this introduction, I had no expectations. "Death in the Hundred Days" + "Borrowing Life from the Five Clans" + "Marrying the Princess of the Five Clans", this kind of setting has been almost written out in the Internet literature circle. You can find a lot of the same style if you just look through it. But after opening the first three chapters, I found that I was wrong. What really made me tie this book in one breath was the deeper thread it buried under the old setting of "borrowing a life" - borrowing a life is not to extend a life, but to create a door in Shen Ye's body.
The suspense is nested layer by layer, the supernatural events are intertwined, the ending subverts the guesses, and the staying power lingers for a long time.
It took me two nights to read this book. The story is not deliberately sensational, the characters are very fleshed out, and many of the fragments are very resonant. The pace of the second half is a little slower, but overall it is very comfortable to read, and it is suitable for passing leisure time.
It's very interesting, the content is rich, and the article is very interesting. However, the article is a bit slow. Reading one chapter makes me anxious to death.
I won't say anything else, I'll just give it a strong recommendation. It's just that the author is too lazy and updates a few more pictures a day, which makes it completely unsatisfying to read.
A particularly beautiful novel with rich and colorful content and ups and downs. I read it all afternoon.
Very very beautiful! I can't help but keep watching! 💕
It's a pretty good start, let's see. . .
