Synopsis

When he was nine years old, Gu Yan was left alone by his classmate Shen De'an by his father who died of illness. From then on, he lived in the Shen family and grew up under the same roof as Shen Wan, the daughter of the Shen family. She is the beloved daughter of the master's family, and he is the son of an old friend. Their identities are separated by an invisible wall. But she warmed his porridge on a cold night, and he protected her from the rain all over the city. Love takes root day and night, but is firmly held down by the world - family status, rumors, ethics, none of them can tolerate them. The elders of the Shen family made the decision, and they married Su Wanqin, a girl from the Su family, for Gu Yan, and Lin Zhou, a young master from the Lin family, for Shen Wan. The two of them resigned themselves to each other, thinking that they would be strangers in this life. But fate did not let them go—— Gu Yan was newly married for several months when Su Wanqin died in childbirth, leaving him with a baby waiting to be fed. After Shen Wan got engaged, her fiancé continued to have misfortunes, including annulment, bad luck, and the city's scorn, crushing her into the mud. She became a lonely figure in the eyes of the world, and he became a widowed and lonely man. Only Su Wanqin, who has passed away long ago, had already seen through the deep love between Gu Yan and Shen Wan that they had hidden for half their lives. A ghost lingers, secretly protecting and quietly bringing them together, becoming the gentlest hands when they cross the world. Half a lifetime of forbearance, half a lifetime of regret, in the end it's just— Break through everything and go to only one person. For the rest of my life, it's just you.

Reader comments

I just read this book and was amazed by the author's detailed descriptions. After reading it carefully, it turned out to be an ancient novel that hides a love that cannot be achieved. Are you looking forward to the ending? [Please update]

I was deeply attracted after reading the introduction in one breath! "Half a Lifetime of Tolerance, Half a Lifetime of Love" depicts a love trapped by ethics. Gu Yan and Shen Wan fell in love but could not stay together. They went through many hardships such as losing their wife, breaking off the engagement, and being slandered by rumors. The story is not only about the love between children, but also about the involuntary pull under the constraints of the times. In the early stage, it tolerates the pull, but in the later stage, it goes in both directions. The writing is restrained and touching. Lovers of ancient Chinese classics should not miss it.

"Half a Lifetime of Tolerance, Half a Lifetime of Love" is an ancient masterpiece that depicts "love without love" to the extreme. The author's writing style is gentle but sharp, and he vividly depicts the deep love that begins with emotion and ends with etiquette under the secular ethics. There is no bloody conflict, only the helplessness and fulfillment of two sober people in the torrent of fate. If you prefer the kind of delicate emotions that have a long aftertaste and are hard to put down after reading, this work is definitely not to be missed.

I hide from the rain under the eaves, and I avoid you in my heart. The childhood sweethearts were trapped in the barriers of ethics and education. They embroidered the word "Bingdi" stitch by stitch, but in the end it became a secret that they dared not give away. The writing is as delicate as raindrops, and the restraint and sourness of secret love are written to the extreme. The stamina is so great that it makes people feel heartache all night long.

Super high-quality ancient romance! The tenderness of the youth's companionship was cut off by rumors about their family status, and the two were forced to separate, each going through ups and downs. As a passer-by, Su Wanqin saw through the deep affection between the two and secretly helped each other in the form of a ghost. This setting is very novel. Tolerate for half a life, just to finally break through everything and rush to one person. It is full of emotions and has a strong sense of fate. It is a very charming ancient saying.

A typical masterpiece that is difficult to read, please don't stop updating it. It's not that the male and female protagonists don't love each other, but fate, identity, and intrigue separate each other layer by layer. The female protagonist forbears and gives in, while the male protagonist hides his love in his heart. They clearly care about each other, but they stab each other at every turn. The pulling feeling is very strong, and the male protagonist is sadistic [sad][sad][sad]
