A 2014 JJ Reader's Picks: Rare Hidden Gems!
I read all kinds of things. These are books I really love that somehow don't seem very popular. They have sky-high ratings, so give them a try! Ridiculous that I'm not allowed to give them all five stars.
My Self-Rated Four Stars and Up
A library of stories I thought were good, with something for every taste. It is missing GL, though, and I would really like to find some good GL stories to add. I enjoy both plot-driven stories and melodramatic romance

When I turned to the book review at the back, I was really frightened by some of the readers... Do you feel so deeply involved? Why should you use your own outlook on life to ask a person in a book... Ah Run is a big lover. He just likes Ah Zhao and wants to stay with him forever, and Yuanxiu has grown up to the point where he can take over. In the original article, Arun ranked Azhao in front of Jiangshan. Why is a story that is reasonable, logical and self-consistent kidnapped by you using your own set of three views? The author's wife doesn't write a book for you alone. If you don't like it, just leave. If you have money, you can hire someone to write a book that you are satisfied with. Otherwise, you can just search for books that you like to read. Finding good books will also give you a happy feeling, right? Anyone who talks nonsense in the comments below shows no respect at all. The story in this book is actually very good. It is gentle but not abusive, and it is very well written about family, love, officialdom, world, home and country. I have read it more than ten times, and it ranks among the top five in my heart. Those extreme readers downstairs, please go away.
I vaguely remember reading an article like this in high school. I just remember how romantic it was to have a ruined temple and a bouquet of plum blossoms for life. But after that, my parents were not in the same clan, so I couldn't continue reading it anymore and gave up halfway. Now that I am close to my age and I look down, it is quite interesting to sigh that the years are like a carving knife, carving people without leaving a trace. This time I saw the later articles talking about restructuring, relocation, war, and other issues. Many of the descriptions are shockingly detailed, and the memorials are also first-rate. Haha, I am really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I know the history clearly. The plot is not just a plot of chickens and dogs and thieves, it is not flattering to the old power, it is thought-provoking, and it has some fashionable global perspective. Later on, the author is not expected to talk about any romance. This is also a rare experience in ancient time travel novels. When I saw the place where the war was raging, I had a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, the rest of the story was like a blur. Some of the meaning was left unfinished, and the same is true in many places. However, the part of moving to Dingli County is the most interesting. It promotes science and education, engages in production, imitates modern governance, and implements planned economy. Isn't this the pursuit of the "ultimate ideal"? I'm very happy. After all, I also swore an oath to the hammer and sickle. Compared with the author, I am generally a person who has not forgotten his original intention, haha. The matter of "relocating to Ding" is actually very new today. The new China is building northern Xinjiang, the youth are going to the countryside, etc. The same is true. I think the author may also be a person from that era. Although it was difficult at that time, fortunately, there were not a few comrades in China who followed that ideal and belief, and in exchange for all the hardships, everyone was rewarded. Every time I think of it from the story, I really admire the predecessors and get inspired. Now that road is not over yet, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation continue to work hard! The author writes so well!
When Arun raised the army, he used the money from Azhao (he didn't even say what he was going to do with the money at that time); whoever in the court did not praise Arun as an emperor who was diligent and thrifty, actually used Azhao's money; Azhao spent a lot of energy on the relocation, and anyone who praised Azhao was a wise emperor; Azhao solved the hidden dangers of Buddhism for Arun and gave him an immigration county that was completely loyal to the emperor. Did Ah Zhao say a word about this? Oh, I understand, you have to tell Arun about the birth record, right? Then Arun will definitely tell the prince, and the prince will continue to pass it on... Ah Zhao and his brother's painstaking plans have all been in vain. As the mastermind of the Gu family, if any emperor turns his back in the future, he will come to settle accounts after the autumn, and he will not be allowed to accompany three tribes and nine tribes? This matter is not Azhao's alone. How many people have worked hard to continue the family... Now that Azhao has a lover, he has to hand over the lifeblood of the whole family and let future generations be slaughtered? Besides, taking people out to sea, haha, it's just a couple's fun.
Alas, I really don't have the energy to read a long story. I turned to the last chapter and read it. At the end, I remembered that Gu Zhao's feet were frozen and injured in the first year of coming to Beijing. It was almost a metaphor. He has been tied down by his family and his lover since he came to the Gu family. He was originally a person who could come and go freely on the sea. He spent time and money in the capital for his family and the country where he loved him. He was entangled for half his life, did wrong things but also made achievements. Finally, he returned to the sea.
Wrong into this worldly web. First, he was bound by his relatives, and then he began to have a true emotional connection with the world. Later, he meets love unexpectedly, the old house is on fire, and the madness that he had not gone crazy in his previous life is made up for with a vengeance in this life. This completely separates this life from the previous life where he was physically and mentally wandering. This is a ritual for his self-rebirth. Arun is a very good partner, but it is obvious that it is not love that makes Gu Zhao feel trapped, but a debt. He was very alienated when he first entered Shangjing, and later he laughed at himself that these people had anything to do with me. However, after Arun's blood stained Beijing, he realized that he had become one of the reasons for the difficulties in people's livelihood. He was no longer a bystander, but was forced to become a responsible person under a sense of guilt. He could not deceive himself that he was really innocent. Even including the human life cost of the Gu family's creation of gods, he didn't understand it when he first tasted the power. In the next twenty years, he probably vaguely realized it, but he didn't dare to think too much. If he thought too deeply, people would not be able to live. He is also arrogant and selfish. He has no shortage of human weaknesses, and his worldly situation may not be big. If his next twenty years are purely dedicated, then he is not that holy father. But atonement is undoubtedly an important reason for his self-trap. Sometimes I even think that his complacency is not just arrogance. He always has to give himself a little spiritual comfort of self-realization. The more he feels that he has given a lot to the world and created a lot, the more he can avoid the painful anxiety and self-questioning deep in his heart. In this process, it seems that he is binding himself for love. In fact, love is just a little sugar in his long pain, his longing and pursuit. He was tired in the end, but it wasn't actually because he was disappointed or tired of love. Firstly, because Haiyan Heqing and someone will succeed him, he can let go with peace of mind, stop his staggering self-suffering journey of atonement, remove the heavy shackles in his heart, and return to his yearning for freedom. The second reason is that he finally said it out. He was not so stupid that he panicked. He always wanted to say that he had been holding it in for too long. His fear and depression
It's really good to watch. It would be great if there is a third story about maritime supremacy.
I have read this book several times. It is delicate, elegant, not verbose, and unconventional. I have no ink in my belly and I don't know how to speak. In one sentence, it is just beautiful!
I have read this book over and over again for many years. I really hope that there will be another great book.
It's good to go to sea, but it was for the family's sake at first, but in the end, all five members of the family were compensated for the sake of a child. Yuanxiu is now worried about his little daddy, who didn't say anything, and they haven't gotten along with each other for a long time.
It's been 10 years since I first read this article.
