"Three Feet of Spring"!!! It is not allowed that there are ancient Chinese lovers who have not watched "Three Feet of Spring"! The author Changqing Changbai's writing style is so exquisite that it opens with "The yellow sand in the northwest is covered with snow, the wintersweet in Wangjing is all over the city, and the moat is frozen into solid ice." In just a few sentences, people are dragged into the ancient world covered in silver but hidden in turbulence. The heroine was written to cry, "like dewdrops hanging on the tips of tender petals, falling to the ground without falling." I felt pity when I read it. The writing style is gentle and powerful, and the emotions of the characters are portrayed in detail. Highly recommended!
