    I highly recommend the ensemble piece "Listening to Spring Rain All Night in a Small Building"—I just finished reading it and was deeply moved. It's a rare gem from Tomato (the author of the novel), and it's been a long time since I've read a novel that allows for such careful reading and contemplation. Starting with a single scene of returning to the capital to discuss marriage, the novel unfolds around a banquet centered around flowers of different seasons, revealing the relationships between sisters, parents and children, and the complexities of the relationships between parents and children. Beyond the main characters, the story culminates in the three sisters finding happy endings with their spouses, successfully connecting the scenes and echoing the opening scene of Ling Shuang selling apricot blossoms, thus highlighting the novel's theme. It's incredibly detailed and leaves a lasting impression.

    Reader note

    The most subversive innovation of *The Willow Tree by the Palace Wall* lies in its protagonist's character design. The heroine, Xiao Liu'er, is neither a cunning vengeful goddess nor a naive and innocent fool, but rather a "clear-headed" individual who has long seen through the true nature of palace intrigue. While other concubines fight tooth and nail for the emperor's favor, she voluntarily withdraws from the competition, feigning ignorance to secure a peaceful existence within the palace. This survival wisdom of "fighting without fighting" shatters the reader's expectation that palace heroines must be ruthless and ruthless, unexpectedly presenting a more realistic historical possibility—under the crushing weight of feudal imperial power, the true state of most women in the harem might indeed be this helpless "awake succumb." The first-person narrative employed by the author, "Mengwa," is also exquisite. Through Xiao Liu'er's seemingly lighthearted and humorous yet subtly melancholic monologues, readers are able to glimpse the absurdity and cruelty of life within the palace. When the female protagonist jokingly describes the emperor as "like the cafeteria lady at our school, giving whoever gets an extra spoonful of food depends entirely on his mood," the modern perspective that demystifies imperial power creates a strange sense of alienation from the oppressive system of the ancient court. This narrative strategy avoids the heaviness of excessive bitterness and hatred, while making the tragedy more profound amidst the interplay of laughter and tears. Particularly striking is the author's exposure of the cannibalistic nature of the feudal system. The seemingly benevolent empress dowager was forced to drown her own daughter in her youth; the favored concubine Yao ultimately becomes a victim of political struggle; even the seemingly "victorious" empress is merely a pawn placed on the power chessboard by her family. These plots subtly deconstruct the false narrative of "victory in palace intrigue equals happiness," revealing the systemic oppression of women by the patriarchal system, both physically and mentally.
