I would die for you, live for you, and drink beneath the moon with the long wind at my side.
I would break my sharp sword for you and snuff out the ever-burning lamp.
Who will keep me company through the endless night? Half-drawn spring curtains, I wake in a daze from my dream.
I recall our vows of life and death in days gone by, and ask whether we will meet again in the next life.
Wood grows roots easily near water, but no other water can compare to the three thousand miles of the Weak River.
Maple leaves are as red as a loyal heart; a keen mind and discerning eyes make for beauty within and without.
Out of fondness for the zither's melody, I returned to the mountains and forests, yet I cherish the qin's mournful, pure notes.
I also love the sheng's call, which makes birds leap among the trees; the turmoil of the human world fills me with dismay.
You sigh for me over old sorrows; for you, I would go mad and make mountains lose their peaks.
A peerless beauty and a prince consort, our love is unmatched. I give you my whole life.

One peerless beauty, two prince consorts, three generations of love and hate, four kingdoms' grudges and grievances.
Entangled beyond disentangling, who can finally put the old troubles to rest, and who can stay with whom to the very end?
WeChat public account: Yang Huo Jun's Natural Abode. I'm currently hoping to apply for an original-content account, which requires a certain number of followers and articles, so I'll be posting some short pieces and medium-length stories in the near future. If you're interested, please add me. Thanks for your support.
Thanks to Bru Jun for the cover. I love it.
This story was inspired by Huang Yi's version of The New Female Prince Consort, so the outline is somewhat similar.
After finishing this story, I rewrote it as The New New Female Prince Consort to make it up to my readers.
If you'd like to read it, click The New New Female Prince Consort.
Gou (gòu)
(1) To draw a bow taut. “Gou means to draw a crossbow.”, Shuowen Jiezi
(2) Also used to mean “enough” or “to be able to.” For example, gou bu shang means “not enough” or “unable to reach.”
(3) A trap or snare.
(1) A target.
(2) An aim or objective.
(3) A pattern or rule.
The title Love's Snare takes its meaning from “snare,” “pattern,” and “aim.”
My writing isn't very good, and I'm still working on it. Criticism is welcome, but please don't hit on me.
This is a ridiculous melodrama I dreamed up when I was sixteen and still very naive.
It finally took me five years to finish it. = =
My thoughts changed many times over those five years; I only hope the story is sincere and true.
This is an over-the-top, melodramatic, sugary story, so please keep calm.
Things to know before reading
This isn't a devoted-love story in the traditional sense. The protagonist has liked several characters and has had romantic entanglements, and even some physical contact, with more than one of them.
But neither is it a traditional harem story. Though the protagonist is easily swept up in her feelings, she sticks to her moral principles. The author favors her throughout the story and gives her a golden finger, but in terms of intelligence and emotional maturity, she's just an ordinary person.
When I wrote this, I was still immature, and because I wrote it on and off for five years, both the plot outline and the writing are rather childish and uneven. There's a saying that the protagonist's intelligence depends on the author, and the love interest's integrity does too. Back then, I was probably an ordinary person with little sense and even less integrity, which is how I ended up writing this. I hope you'll forgive me.
From now on, I'll try to list the story's potential pitfalls in the blurb.
Readers, if you enjoy the story, please keep reading. If you can't get into it, feel free to leave a comment and curse me out, but please don't attack other readers in the comments. We're all here to read novels, so let's be civil.
Thank you.

Theme:
Love is really a long-lasting read. Love, hate, hatred and feelings of family and country, the entanglement of past lives and the entrapment of future generations, right and wrong are all determined by cause and effect. Perhaps influenced by the legend of the female consort and Hua Mulan, in historical literature, women who want to get married and enter the palace often dress up as men, and then they become brilliant, win the admiration of many beauties, and then bloom like lilies. Is this love true? Just as Ai Shen asked Xi Qin, In fact, regardless of men or women, those with outstanding talent and appearance are naturally charming. To read this kind of article, you must be sober in the world. There are very few women like Maple Spirit. She can serve as an example to remind us that beauty should not only be the shallowness of the skin, but talent is the foundation of beauty. There are many people like Shang Liuchen in the world who want to spread their wings and fly high without being limited by the worldly concepts of men and women. In fact, those with great talents can be remembered in history even if they were women. During the Shang Dynasty, a good woman used martial arts to help Tang bring peace to the world. After her death, she enjoyed the honor of a royal mausoleum. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiang Jiang was both talented and beautiful. Yan Yan left her name in the Book of Songs. There were many strange women in the Tang and Five Dynasties, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Liangyu was granted a title due to his military exploits. In fact, Aisheng's love is most consistent with Lily's love and the most real. Lian Zheng left with Ye Daxia without meeting Maple Ling, and she was still in a situation of golden wind and jade dew; Xiqin entered due to the blood curse and was conquered by Maple Ling's talent, but Ai Sheng was originally a manipulator, but was trapped by love. The matter of the princess and the consort is all a matter of laughter!
Ah, this, I originally brought Maple Ling and Lian Zheng into the position of the new female consort, but I didn't expect that they were not a couple.,,, Am I feeling uncomfortable in the middle of the night?
It took me more than a week to finally read it... I read other articles almost at a glance and a few lines, but this one is one of the few that I read carefully and almost word for word. I even read it when the author had something to say... Although I was annoyed by some slightly gory plots during this period, this article is still very good in terms of character creation. Whether it's the production or the writing style, etc., It will always be a classic that can no longer be imitated in my heart. After so many years, I don't remember the first time I read it. Maybe I will never be in the mood to read such a long novel again. It's a pity that the author no longer updates new articles... I actually felt a little melancholy after reading it...
The writing is really good. I feel very sad when I read it. I feel that there will never be another article as good as yours. This article was written in 2007. It is now 22 years. Time flies. I won't say anymore. I hope you can write more good articles. I will keep following them.
Is it considered to come back and review it after ten years? It's been so long, but Qingyi is still one of my favorite novels. I'll leave a paw to commemorate it.
Before going to bed, I heard a song by Deng Ziqi, "You Are Not the First One to Leave," which reminded me of the story between Maple Ling and Lian Zheng. It felt very appropriate, so I put the lyrics at the end.
Suddenly I remembered Lian Zheng's words, "I'm not afraid of thunder, I'm just afraid of losing, but she is always losing."
Maple Ling kissed Lian Zheng on the forehead. Why was she crying? She had chosen Xi Qin and was destined to let Lian Zheng down. Yang Fengling was cowardly, cowardly towards first love. In a daze, she remembered Lian Zheng's question to Fengling, "Yang Fengling, if When we were in the carriage, I accepted your identity as a woman and still loved you. Would you have been unswervingly devoted to me? If I had gone to make a scene during the wedding night when Xiqin got married, would things be different now?"
In relationships, I hope that the other person will love me more deeply than myself, but I don't want Lianzheng to feel wronged because of this love. Maple Ling, Maple Ling, every time you draw Guanyin, you don't dare to add that you are by her side. What are you afraid of? Why do you always push people away? , To extrapolate, you were cruel to Lianzheng, and you were cruel to Xiqin, and you even used your love as a bargaining chip. When you sent Xiqin back to the South Country, you were a complicated person, and you were reluctant to let them suffer a little bit of physical pain, but you kept hurting their hearts.
After nagging, my views on relationships became more firm. If you love, you must love to the end and try your best. So I don't want to see the helpless separation from my first love. This is very painful. Lianzheng, pity, are you destined to regret? I don't want to regret. Who said that first love must be painful? I can't accept the regret, I feel sour.
Xiqin is very charming, her domineering, strong and passionate love, how can people not be moved by it? It is also because of her determination without hesitation, her every step is determined, and she owes debts all her life. How can emotional matters be settled?
"You are not the first one to leave"
You're not the first one to leave
It's not my last scar either
When night comes, no one can keep the day
Don't worry about me, just treat me as passing by
I will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I am your smiling person
I want you, I want you, I want you to be happy
Even if I am alone
But why are there tears in my smile?
And why didn't you notice
I laugh and cry
but no choice
I'm not the first one to get hurt
Nor will it be the most broken soul
If you come alone, you should leave alone
Don't worry about me, I'll just laugh it off
I will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I am your smiling person
I want you, I want you, I want you to be happy
Even if I am alone
But why are there tears in my smile?
And why didn't you notice
I laugh and cry
But it's all true
I will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I am your smiling person
I want you, I want you, I want you to be happy
Even if I am alone
I will smile and shed tears from the corners of my eyes
Become the star that protects you
Give you the sky
Leave the night to yourself
Lian Zheng made me sad when I saw her. She was Maple Ling's first wife and the first person she fell in love with. She later thought that she fell in love with her consort. Just because she took the step of cherishing Qin, she had to miss Maple Ling. Even Ai Sheng and Maple Ling had a relationship, but she didn't. She grew from a willful princess to become wiser. She studied medicine for Maple Ling and took personal care of her. She, help her, let her go to find Xiqin, she should be with Maple Ling, she is the first wife of Maple Ling Mingzheng, fate makes people, the innocent Princess Lianzheng is still alone in the end, her father and brother are gone, Maple Ling is also divorced by her, she once said that she was only allowed to divorce her husband with Qi Lianzheng, but he was not allowed to divorce his wife, Yang Wumin turned out to be a prophecy, I feel so sorry for Lianzheng
I accidentally discovered a new side story. I read this chapter early in the morning. I feel so sad. I don't know who to feel sorry for. Lian Xi and Ai are the three of them. Although I first read the article for Xi Qin Dang, I really like Lian Zheng later. Why do you want to torture her so much? Although Ai Sheng has won the world, she can't live a good life. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Sometimes I really hope that everyone will not be so miserable. I only read this two years ago. At first I was attracted by the name of the book, Qingyi. My first impression was how to pronounce the second word. Then I saw the author's addition, "gou" means trap, trap. I immediately became very interested. I wanted to see what kind of love and hate there is in this book. I was not disappointed. The poems at the beginning of each chapter made me feel that the author is very talented. It is no exaggeration to say that among all the ancient texts I have read, Qingyi is still the best-written and best-written book in my opinion. In fact, sometimes I don't understand why people say Maple Ling is a scumbag. I think she is just a human being. Her character is like that. She always wants to be good for everyone, but in the end everyone is hurt. But she doesn't mean it. She doesn't want things to develop into this situation. Hey, she is just a poor person. With such a character, it is understandable that she chose Xiqin because she is inherently passive. She always feels that they will have a better destination without her. So Xiqin's determination to move forward is the main reason why she can be with Maple Ling in the end. Lianzheng can only be said to be missed. Missing her for a moment is a lifetime. I believe that Maple Ling has always loved her, but it will always be the white moonlight. It can only be seen from a distance and cannot be touched. Just like she has drawn so many Guanyin for Lianzheng, she dare not draw herself next to it. As for Aisheng, although she is good at calculating, she is responsible for many of Maple Ling's tragedies, but from her perspective, what is her fault? She didn't expect that she would really fall in love with Maple Spirit. She can only say that people in the group have different positions, but they are all pitiful people. Qingyi Qingyi sometimes can't help but think, aren't we all in this group in reality? Although it is not like the separation of life and death, it is not as vigorous as in the book. After all, it is difficult to reconcile. After writing this, I suddenly feel that the ending is quite logical. How can there be so much happiness? Don't we all move forward with regrets? It's good to have our own way back. Finally, I would like to thank the author for finishing this article. I am honored to read this article.
It feels like it's almost ten years ago. I think I still had the Nokia E63 to pursue it.
This is probably the 20th time I've read this novel! This is the first Lily Hour that I have come across, and it is also the only novel that I have paid to watch in Jinjiang! Special thanks to Xigua Dada for this work, which convinced me that girls can also have sentimental feelings ^O^ At first, because of the role of the new female consort in the TV series, I actually liked Princess Lianzheng. Later, I was really attracted by Dou Xiqin, who loved Maple Ling at all costs! I feel that everything is well written, including the preface, the poems at the beginning of each chapter, and the music. And Cecilia Cheung's video! I watch it on loop every time! The most regrettable thing is that I didn't catch up with the physical book of "Love" in time. I sincerely hope that if Guada reprints the book and has new updates and extras, I would like to collect a copy!
