The first book has a good plot and is not cliché. It is a rare book about cultivating hexagrams and cultivation on Tomato. There is no meal replacement in the whole network. Everything always closes the loop inadvertently. When the result and the true purpose are revealed, you will be shocked from the bottom of your heart. But the heroine is a smart ordinary person, not as smart as other heroines. In the second book, the heroine is super smart. She calculated everyone but also saved everyone. After the author filled in some pitfalls, I felt that I would suddenly become enlightened. The writing is also very good. I like it very much. Both books are group portraits and are highly recommended.

Reader note

Judging from the existing content of "The Wind in Jingdu Waits for the Rain", the pursuit of "surpassing the boy's counterattack and focusing on 'keeping one's heart amidst power and destiny'" has actually been deeply embedded in the story. It does not rely on straightforward preaching, but uses the struggles of the characters and the conflicts of the plot to quietly present the question of "what is right and what is wrong" to readers. This kind of restraint of "not being a proud dragon, not falling into the trap of 'dragon slayer becomes evil dragon'" gives the story a more lasting power than "sense of pleasure". For example, Zhao Yu's growth line completely avoids the trap of "counterattack is alienation". He has transformed from a "wild child" in Shenzhen and Hong Kong to the heir to the Wen family. He has more and more power and resources to mobilize, but he has never lost the "roots" of his growth at the bottom: Seeing that Li Changjiang has no way to beg for his mother, he will ask Wen Yong to take care of him; "Settle down the family"; faced with the emperor's extraordinary favor (swords and shoes to go to the palace, riding horses in the Chu Palace), he did not indulge in power, but chose to "enter the Imperial Academy first to supervise the studies" - his "counterattack" was not to "crush the past and embrace power", but "to control power with the original intention of the past". Even his suspicion of his father Wen Zhong did not fall into the extreme of "doing anything for revenge", but restrained and wanted to "ask the truth first, and not let the enemy see the joke". This sobriety of "the greater the power, the more restraint" is the most vivid embodiment of "keeping one's heart". It also secretly responds to the reader's fear of "the dragon slayer turns into an evil dragon" - the "sword" (power, force) in his hand is always aimed at "injustice" rather than "innocent". Looking at Wen Kuiyuan and Wei Changwu, "people who have been in the field of power", their existence has brought the weight of "keeping one's heart" to the real dimension. Wen Kuiyuan was an iron-blooded official in the "Five Kingdoms", but he guarded the sleeping Axiu and the old house in Xiangzhou for eighteen years, "killing him with a stick", but left him to see what happened next; Wei Changwu resisted the pressure of the emperor and changed the rules of Jiuyue Mansion, abolished the "grade restrictions" and opened the gates of the mountain. The purpose of recruiting common people is not to fight against the imperial power, but to "allow common people to enter the government based on their ability" - they all hold the power to change the fate of others, but they do not turn their power into a "dragon-slaying knife", but a "shield to protect the original intention." This portrayal of "the higher the power, the greater the understanding of awe", just hits the core crux of "the dragon slayer becomes the evil dragon": many people are not born bad, but lose the idea of ​​"why they hold power in the first place" in power, but these characters in the novel have never lost it. Even better, this book doesn't make "right and wrong" black and white - which is the key to making readers think. Is Wen Zhong's "alienation" betrayal or forbearance? Is the emperor's "strategy" to protect the country or trap the people? Was Lei Wangqiu's "fall" a result of bad nature or being coerced by power? Even the "ideal" of Jiuyue Mansion, is it justice against the imperial power, or is it an adventure that may lead to war? These blurred boundaries are exactly what "right and wrong" look like in reality. For example, in the old case of the Wen family, the author did not let the "murderer" be clear at a glance, but instead made Wen Kuiyuan, Wen Zhong, and the emperor all wrapped in a mystery. Readers will not simply accept that "the Wen family is right and the emperor is wrong." Instead, they will ponder: If Wen Zhong's "alienation" is to protect the Wen family, then his "wrong" is right; if the emperor's "strategy" is to fear the prosperity of Yan and the chaos in Chu, then his "right" also hides his wrong. This kind of treatment of "there is no absolute right or wrong, only choices and costs", compared with the "black and white" refreshing articles, reminds readers of the "power dilemma" in reality, such as "whether a few people can be sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation" and "whether there is a price to pay for adhering to ideals", which is the core of what the author wants readers to think about. In fact, the work has avoided the pitfall that "Long Aotian" is most likely to fall into: it does not let the protagonist rely on "golden fingers" to crush him all the way, but leaves Zhao Yu with the shortcomings of "impulsiveness, dependence, and a naive understanding of human nature"; it does not let the villain be evil for the sake of evil, but leaves the emperor with "cowardice in his later years" and Lei Wangqiu with the helplessness of "being coerced by jealousy". This writing method of "the more complex the character is, the clearer the original intention" makes "keep your original intention" not a slogan, but the specific actions of the character "gritting your teeth and not bowing your head" in every choice - for example, Zhao Dora said "obey the law and justice" when she resisted the prince's coercion, such as Zhao Yu said "don't kill indiscriminately" when sending Lei Wangqiu to Shangguan Feihong. These choices all come with a price, but make the boundary of "right" clearer. When the characters in the story have stumbled in "Power and Destiny" but have not lost their "original intentions", when "right or wrong" is no longer the answer given by the author, but the choice that the reader struggles with the character, this novel really transcends the "Young Counterattack" cool novel framework - it no longer allows the reader to "feel the protagonist and have fun", but allows the reader to "think again after the character": If I were Zhaoyu, what would I do when faced with the suspicion of my father? If I were Wen Kuiyuan, could I hold on to my original aspiration of "people are the water" with my overwhelming power? This power of "allowing readers to 'live' and make choices in the story" is exactly what the author pursues to "leave you thinking", and is also the fundamental reason why this novel is more weighty than a fast-food novel.
