"There is a Carp in the Western Mountains" really unearthed a treasure! The setting of ancient fantasy + three hundred years of fateful entanglement is superb, with a plot that is both sweet and sad, with constant twists and turns. The heroine, Yao Yao, is cold and tough, and has spent three hundred years feeding carps with flesh and blood, and has spent three hundred years in sinking ponds to transform into enchantments. Her sense of fragmentation hides her stubbornness and sincerity; the male protagonist is a tolerant and restrained emperor. He seems to be majestic and mighty, but has clumsy affection in his emotions. When facing the heroine, he has an uncontrollable concern. Although the emperor cannot help himself, he always protects her in secret, and his character is real and unsuspicious.
