    Reader note

    This opening paragraph is very explosive, the emotions are well rendered, and the sense of conflict is strong. It has excellent potential to become a hit tweet. 1. The opening chapter is explosive and full of conflict: It opens directly with the counselor's extremely insulting question, which instantly puts the protagonist "Lü Tu" in a desperate situation of being humiliated and unfairly treated. The conflict is detonated at the first moment, firmly catching the reader's attention. This classic opening of "being humiliated as soon as you come up" can quickly arouse readers' empathy and anger. 2. Three-dimensional characters, tragic background: In the conflict, through memories and details, the astonishing identity of the protagonist "first-class orphan" and the tragic background of his family's "loyal family" are cleverly revealed. His father received first-class merit for his sacrifice on the border, his mother died in the fight against the epidemic, and his ancestors were veterans of the country... The sharp contrast between this extreme "selflessness" and the extreme "injustice" in front of him pushed the protagonist's "tragedy" and "injustice" to the top, and brought the readers' emotions to the critical point where they must be vented. 3. The details are real and have a strong sense of substitution: "50-cent steamed buns", "mottled thermos cup", "swallowing with hot water", these details vividly depict the poverty of the protagonist; Ding Zeng and others' behaviors of "sucking noodles" and "turning buns upside down" vividly describe the villain's hatefulness and arrogance. The strong contrast makes the scene very graphic and immersive. 4. The golden finger has arrived, and there is a sense of expectation: When the protagonist is forced into a desperate situation and his anger reaches the maximum, the "blackening system" arrives at the right time and provides a precise "slap in the face" weapon (leadership inspection information). This setting of "justice coming from heaven" perfectly inherits the emotions accumulated in the previous article, and instantly leads the narrative to the refreshing rhythm of "revenge and slap in the face", making readers look forward to the subsequent plot. 5. Outstanding core highlights: The clip successfully created the image of a "descendant of a hero who was wronged by the world". The fearlessness (sacrifice for the country, selfless dedication) and selflessness (not fighting, not grabbing, not causing trouble) of his family are the protagonist's most powerful moral cornerstone and emotional bargaining chip, and also the most powerful weapon in the subsequent counterattack. This point is highlighted very well. Comprehensive evaluation: This is an excellent beginning of a new media novel. It accurately integrates popular elements such as "identity contrast", "campus bullying", "system cheats", "face-slapping revenge", etc. It has a tight rhythm, full of emotions, sharp contradictions, and the background setting of the protagonist is extremely explosive and topical. Readers will be eager to see how the protagonist uses the system and life background to stage a hearty counterattack in front of the leader, slap the villain in the face, and regain his dignity. Suggested tweet title: "I, a first-class orphan, eat leftovers?" On the day of the leadership inspection, I flipped the table on the spot! "The counselor robbed me of my poverty subsidy and humiliated me. I didn't know that three generations of my father and ancestors were heroes!" " "The system made me black: I tolerated the first-class orphan at the beginning, but then reported it in front of the leader!" The beginning of this paragraph is very good, please be sure to keep this rhythm and emotional tension as you write!

    I added this to my bookshelf before, but I haven't finished it [laughing], but they are all very interesting (because I am incontinent to tears [crying] [crying] and dare not read them all in one go, so I went to find other good books to adjust and forget about them later). Let me briefly introduce it ~ (please don't complain if you don't like it) 1. The secret love story between the sensitive girl Xiang Yu and the favored son Song Huaishi. It is sweet in the early stage and super sad in the later stage. Fireworks run through it, full of regrets. I really cried to death. 2. Although the rating is relatively low, this book is really sad. The heroine is dead at the beginning but continues throughout the book. She is very similar to Shen Wei from "Bone-like Love"! Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye's reunion is indefinite. Is it the hero's final struggle or the final dialogue between the two? The heroine fell in love to pieces but still adhered to the bottom line. Gu's paranoid love was mixed with guilt, and he finally chose to die in the same place and in the same way as the heroine... The misunderstanding and one-way dedication dragged the two into the abyss, making them burst into tears! 3. The heroine grew up lacking love. When she met her true love Chen Yi in the cold winter, she fell in love but refused to wait. The foreshadowing in the previous article is exquisite, and the ending is truly cruel and heartbreaking. I wish Lin Shu and Chen Yi in the parallel world are safe and happy! 4. This book has been published. If you like it, you can also buy the physical book. Secret Love for BE Aesthetics. 8 Regretful stories of youth. Ye Sheng × Jiang Xu's behavior is difficult to reconcile! The brave lose to the coward, and the secret love never comes to light. The writing is delicate and poignant, and the tears are low and cautious - "Not all secret loves can be consummated, but there are always people who love bravely." 5. You will cry at the end. The beginning is sweet and the end is sweet! The most cruel couple among the four great talents, Qing Qing and Monk Qiao are separated by life and death, the pinnacle of BE aesthetics. Be careful with your tears - "I must find your Monk Qiao as soon as possible in my next life!" This is a masterpiece that makes you cry, and your emotions are overwhelming💔 6. A stunning work with a falsely low BE rating due to reality! The heroine Mian Mian is sober and has no love mind, but she is soft and depressed in marriage. The most difficult thing to say is the gentle male lead Lin Xing - "May the doctor who aids Tibet shine brightly every step of the way and be safe every year." It is difficult to reconcile each other through broken mirrors, a Dostoyevsky-style sense of realistic cruelty, and you must love specific people rather than abstract fantasies. 7. Traveling through the setting of life and death, the male patron Gu Chishou is extremely infatuated throughout his life! The sweet memories in the early stage are overwhelming, but the shocking reversal in the later stage - it turns out that it is all a fantasy. The love that lasts until death makes your heart throb, tissue warning! "Kissing You Through Missing You" brings tears to your eyes, a masterpiece of film and television level sadomasochism! 8. Two-way redemption Mr. Wen is Xu Xing's light in the darkness, teaching her to be independent and self-preserving; the star is his belief in living. "Between life and death, my only choice is Xu Xing" - they finally reunited after four years of separation, sealing their mouths and opening their mouths for love. Geology protects the earth, brushes write thoughts, and feelings of family and country are intertwined with tender love. The only one who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, rushes to it with sincerity and courage, reality turns into a fairy tale and makes people cry.
