Both of these books are abusive, and the male protagonists are both scumbags. However, the male protagonist in the first book was also miserable because the female protagonist was too strong. Every time he abused the female protagonist, the female protagonist would abuse him in return. She would hit him on the head with a tablet, pierce his shoulder blades with scissors, scratch his face, slap him in his sleep, etc. It made people cry and laugh at the same time.

The plot is unconventional and logically organized. The content may cause discomfort, and the readers may be tortured and run away. It contains group portraits of sadomasochism in the palace, highly intelligent palace battles, and brain-busting stories. The heroine uses clever strategies to get revenge in the palace. Have you ever seen Gong Douwen where both men and women fight? It depicts the tragedy of the ancient feudal system and shows the brutality of court struggle and the complexity of human nature. Each character in the book is very three-dimensional and has his own purpose and persistence. It is not a double story, as the heroine and the male protagonist have a sadistic relationship.
There are three reasons why you must read "Butterfly Shadow Returns", a novel about abuse in the Republic of China: First, there is no vicious female partner, no misunderstanding, all tragedies are caused by the torrent of the times and the mistakes of the world, the whole process is logical, and there is no bloody cruelty for the sake of abuse; second, the heroine Lin Die'er is gentle but not weak, and she still has a strong character after half her life. She is not a dodder character who can be manipulated, and she has a sense of power in the abuse; Third, the ending is not forced to be a happy ending, and the open-ended BE is full of blank space. There is no belated atonement, no reunion, and the stamina lasts for several days, making it difficult to calm down to the extreme. For readers who prefer the BE aesthetics of the Republic of China, this book is definitely a treasure. [Almost crying][laughing and crying][almost crying][almost crying]
