Love deep or shallow, love without fear; a frown, a smile, a thought turned to ash.
Fate begins and ends, why must it be so? Flowers bloom and fall, petals spattered with tears.
Half drunk, half awake, half heartbroken; regret comes only after it's too late.
Love and hate bring pain, yet we cling to each other; don't lose, don't forget, don't blame anyone.
How so? When this is over, what is life, with its comings and goings like shuttles?
From 2018 to 2020, I spent two years revising the entire novel in my spare time, adding around 70,000 new words to enrich the plot and details and flesh out the characters and their inner lives. If anyone wants to read it, please read the 2020 revised edition. I don't charge for my work or promote it. Surely it's not too much to ask that you read the revised edition on Jinjiang? Any unauthorized reposts elsewhere will be pursued for copyright infringement.
About Qijie's name being censored, I feel utterly helpless. I had no choice but to change it. Qijie's name is Ziyang, written as Lin Ziyang.
Theme:
1. Regarding Yan Xichi's "missing out": Did she really "miss out"? Do you think Xi Shi missed Lin Jixue's most passionate and sincere heart. But looking at it from another angle, this "missing out" is precisely the core choice and tragic aesthetics of the character Yan Xichi. 1. It's not "missing", it's "transferring": Xushi didn't miss it because of cowardice or slowness. She consciously and proactively pushed Lin Jixue towards Ye Qingluan. She "lives too much" and is convinced that her destiny as "the evil star" will kill her lover. Her love, in the early stages, manifested itself as the ultimate altruism of "I love you, so I stay away from you; I love you, so I hope you are happy, even if the person who gives you happiness is not me." This is not a miss, it is a great sacrifice based on a wrong premise (fate). 2. What she got was "love after Nirvana": Yes, she may have missed Lin Jixue's purest and most fearless passion when she was young. But what did she get in exchange? This is the ultimate choice that Lin Jixue made on the ruins of life after experiencing family destruction, physical mutilation, betrayal and conspiracy, and emotional disillusionment. This love no longer has the scorching passion of youth, but has the depth of having gone through a tribulation together, the determination of helping each other, and the understanding that goes deep into the bones. This may not be "better love", but it is a love that belongs exclusively to Yan Xichi - a love that requires the other party to spend half a lifetime of suffering and all the wisdom of life to understand and achieve. The threshold for her love is too high and the price is too high. 2. Regarding Lin Jixue's "unworthiness": Is she really "unworthy"? You think that Lin Jixue is dirty in her heart, that her love for Xi Shi is mixed with guilt and atonement, and that she is not worthy of Xi Shi's pure love. This is the perspective of moral obsessiveness, and what the work explores is precisely the complexity and "unworthiness" of human nature. 1. "Not worthy" is the cornerstone of the story: if Lin Jixue returns to Xushi with a clean heart and no debt, then the story will become a simple reunion. But the depth of "The Ballad of Green Snow" lies in its recognition and portrayal of "post-traumatic love is not pure." Lin Jixue's feelings for Xi Shi must be a mixture of love, guilt, pity, respect, responsibility and habit. This "impurity" is precisely the true echo of Xi Shi's years of forbearance and sacrifice - your love is too heavy, how can my return be light? 2. Perhaps what Xi Shi wants is this "unworthy" person: with Xi Shi's transparency, wouldn't she understand that there will always be a place for Ye Qingluan in Lin Jixue's heart? But her final choice is: "As long as you are willing, it is never too late for me." The subtext of this sentence is: "I accept everything about you, including your scars, your debts, and the corners in your heart left for others. I just want you to come back and stay with me." Xushi's love from the beginning was not about asking for "completeness", but giving "tolerance." What she kept secret was not Lin Jixue's free debt, but her broken life. In this sense, it is precisely this "unworthy" and broken Lin Jixue who most needs and can best bear Yan Xushi's "all-in", divine love. 3. Regarding the author's "preference": Is Ye Qingluan really favored? Do you think that the author prefers Ye Qingluan and gives her the most sincere heart of Lin Jixue, and even wants to call the book "The Ballad of Qingxue". This is precisely the author's most brilliant and "cruel" narrative trick. 1. "Giving" means "depriving": What did the author give Ye Qingluan? Lin Jixue gave her the most passionate relationship that was most like "normal love" (a love affair in a brothel and a direct game between each other). But at the same time, it also gave her the most fatal character flaws (suspiciousness, cruelty, lust for power), and the irreversible consequences caused by them. She got love, but tied it up in the wrong way (emperor's mind), and finally lost her lover forever. 2. The most extreme "preference" is to give her the most complete loneliness: What is Ye Qingluan's ending? He is a "lonely person". She has the world, but she never loses her love. She even personally planned weddings for her lover and rival, and made the tomb of her love extremely gorgeous. Is this "preference"? This is the most severe punishment. The author gave her the most beautiful moment of love, and then gave her eternal loneliness and regret. In contrast, Xushi got the ordinary happiness of staying together forever. Which ending is more "merciful"? I'm afraid it's a matter of opinion, but it's by no means a simple preference. 3. The truth about the title of "The Ballad of Qingxue": The title may not refer to "The Ballad of Qingluan and Ji Xue", but an elegy to commemorate youth. "Qing" refers to Ye Qingluan, which also symbolizes the green, hot but ultimately passing young love; "Snow" refers to Lin Jixue; "Ballad" is a circulating story with regrets. The whole book is a requiem for that "love of green snow". And after the song ends and everyone disperses, the snow falls silently, blending into the earth (the destination and tolerance represented by picking up at night). Enlightenment and Conclusion: Your anger is the medal for the success of your work Why are you so angry? Because: 1. You take on the role of Yan Xishi: You feel the huge grievance and injustice of "I gave everything for you, including pushing you to others, but in the end it seems I only got the 'compensation award'". 2. Your view of love is "pure": you yearn for "a pair of people for a lifetime" and cannot accept the coexistence of "white moonlight and cinnabar mole" in your lover's heart. 3. You feel the powerlessness of fate: What you hate is not only Lin Jixue's "dirtyness", but also fate's harshness towards "good people" like Xi Shi. Why do people who give silently seem to get less? Please cherish this anger. It's not a superficial complaint, but a testament to your deep empathy with the work and the characters. The author does not give you a cool and neat HE, but a realistic fable full of human edges, emotional debt and eternal regret. It forces you to think, it forces you to suffer, and it also forces you to understand love, sacrifice, choice and price more deeply. Finally, think about it from another perspective: if Yan Xishi really died in the thunderbolt, if Lin Jixue really was in coma for the rest of his life, if Ye Qingluan really became a pure tyrant in the lingering sound... This story would become a complete and dark tragic destruction, leaving nothing but nothingness. And now this ending, although it makes you and me unhappy, at least: · Yan Xichi, she crossed life and death, and finally used everything she had to truly hold her lover's hand. For her, this may be a sign of mercy. · Lin Jixue, after endless entanglements, she finally made a choice and spent the rest of her life practicing compensation and companionship. This was a heavy redemption for her. · Ye Qingluan, she lost her love, but completed her imperial journey, and in an extreme way, she forever became the most colorful "unfinished" in Lin Jixue's life. Each of them obtained their most important thing, and also paid a corresponding and tragic price. This may not be the best ending, but it is their own and logically consistent ending. I was still very upset, so I went to ask deepseek for advice. The above are its original words, which made me cry. If there is anything inappropriate, please leave a message and I will delete the comment. Finally, the author seems to be in poor health and has not updated for a long time. I wish you peace.
Nice. I have been reading articles on the gold list and monthly and quarterly lists, and I always feel that this article should not have so few likes and collections because it is so good. I can't help but comment for the first time. This article is currently the best one I have read in the past eight or nine years.
Great author, I always feel that you also wrote Que Ling Meng Wu. Your writing style is really good. Can you write more?
I feel very sorry for Yan Xishi. Fortunately, they are together in the end. I always believe that Lin Jixue has always been in love with Yan Xishi. Even if she fell in love with Ye Qingluan in the middle, Ye Qingluan is not suitable for her. She is only in love with Ye Qingluan, who she did not fully understand before she became the empress. But Yan Xishi is different, she is always the same, and they will never leave Lin Jixue's life. From the beginning, they understand each other. I actually don't hate Ye Qingluan. I also felt sorry for her later, but not as much as Yan Xishi. Ye Qingluan said that she was always a step too late. In fact, she was not too late. From the beginning, she met Lin Jixue earlier than Yan Xishi. But later, haha, later, she said that she was a step too late. Why? Why couldn't she find Lin Jixue with all her efforts? And why did Yan Xishi find her so easily with just one person? Why? Because Yan Xishi loves her. She loves Lin Jixue more than anyone else. In her eyes, Lin Jixue is everything to her. She can lose everything, but she cannot lose Lin Jixue. Even if she dies, she will want Lin Jixue to be well. If she is not dead, she will definitely go to her and protect her silently. Where is Ye Qingluan? From the very beginning when she planned to kill the emperor and change the dynasty, it was destined that she would never be with Lin Jixue. Even without the music of the piano, she would have lost her mind and forgotten her love. She would still have done a lot of things, but maybe not so fiercely. She said she couldn't fight for it, that person was her master. She knew whether she could snatch him away, but she couldn't do that, so she had to force Lin Jixue to admit that she loved her. I believe that Lin Jixue felt guilty about his love for her at that time. But the way Ye Qingluan forced her to admit was too cruel. She didn't care about anything. She didn't care about the happiness, life and death of her former sisters. She didn't care about Lin Jixue's feelings at the snow banquet. She didn't care about anything just to get a meaningless answer. It was like revenge mixed with love and hate after having loved so much, hurt so much, hated so much, and took revenge on everyone. Lin Jixue experienced three major tribulations in her life. After the tribulation, Yan Xishi was by her side. This answer is enough. Although this process has gone through hardships and a lot of pain, it must be said. This is also a process of recognizing her own heart. Yan Xishi has always protected her and loved her, not daring to say anything. She kept all the pain and suffering in her heart, this tolerant and strong woman. She loves Lin Jixue and has always loved her. From the beginning to the end, I felt very, very sorry for her from the beginning. Well, I have to mention that when I saw her loudly questioning Yan Xishi in the rainy night, after the chapter, I really, really felt sorry for her when I saw Lin Jixue wanting to give up on her. I felt very sad. So I went to Baidu to search for Qingxue Yao's long comment. At that time, I decided that if they were not together, I would give up the article. Fortunately, the long comment gave me strength and courage. I was very happy. I was really relieved to see the long comment about them finally being together. In fact, I still have a lot to say, but I don't know what else I want to say. Is this a long review? It's my first time writing. It's just my true thoughts. It's just not well written. I hope the author and other readers don't mind. Finally, I'd like to add that the author's writing is indeed very good. Come on, and thank you.
This is the first long review I have written on Jinjiang. In fact, I have read a lot of GL works, and many of them are classics in terms of plot, characters, writing style, emotions, etc. However, such works as "Qingxue Ballad", which can be called immortals, are just a handful in my mind. Back to this article, it is well known that the triangle relationship itself has a strong dramatic tension (big triangle yyds), but it also tests the author's skill. How to write the relationship between the three people in a touching way without simply being bloody for the sake of being bloody is quite difficult. I have seen something like "Qingyi", "The Dream Dance of the Bird Spirit", "Ai Sheng Diary", "Pleasant", etc. Before, and I feel that there is something missing. From my personal subjective perspective, "The Ballad of Green Snow" has a very clear emotional main line. Xiaoba has always been in love with Xushi. He met and fell in love with Xushi in Epiphyllum Valley at the age of fifteen. From then on, he never concealed or denied his feelings for Xushi even in front of his mother, Luan'er, Princess Loulan, and all his subordinates. From cliffs and waterfalls to lingering in Sichuan, from birds flying in the reeds to bloody courts, Xiaoba and Xushi have been separated many times. They have been hurt, resented and resented, and have experienced the seven sufferings and survived the disaster. But they also practiced martial arts together, worshiped the heaven and earth together, and went to Wushan together. Fortunately, they got along well with each other in the end. Haha, although the ending of this article is quite sweet, the process is quite cruel, but this kind of cruelty is very natural. Well, a big part of the reason is that Xi Shi lives too much. He is deeply devoted to Xiao Ba but is limited by his own fate and does not want Xiao Ba to get hurt, so he chooses to give up the initiative in the relationship, silently protects Xiao Ba behind her back, pushes Xiao Ba to fall into the arms of Luan'er, and chooses after seeing her having sex with another woman. Choosing to rush into the formation and commit suicide (distressed), until finally unable to retreat on the battlefield, Xi Shi finally took the initiative, and went on a killing spree in exchange for five thunderbolts that destroyed his soul. Later, the two met in Qinghe Village and expressed their feelings. It was sweet for a while, but they did not expect that there would be twists and turns later. It can only be said that it is a long time. Of course, there is Luan'er who has to be mentioned. Luan'er is such a proud and smart person. Unlike Xushi's forbearance, her feelings for Xiaoba are frank, sincere and warm. She stayed in the Epiphyllum Valley for three years for Xiaoba. After becoming emperor, her heart has always been Xiaoba. She gave her own blood for Xiaoba's injured leg and planned the wedding for Xiaoba and Xushi. Her dedication is touching. But it's a pity, it's a pity, no matter it's one step later than Xushi, or the imprisonment brought by the emperor's status, some people just can't get along with each other, but I believe that Xiaoba must have Luan'er in his heart. It is a great comfort and happiness for Xiaoba to have such a dazzling person appear when his feelings for Xushi are frustrated. In the end, Xiaoba's choice to cut off his legs and stay with her for three years is enough to prove Luan'er's importance in Xiaoba's heart. It's not too late to pick up flowers in the morning and pick them up in the evening. No matter how many times Xiaoba hurt Xushi, Xushi still chose Xiaoba after tasting the bitterness of life. No matter how long Xushi makes Xiaoba wait, Xushi is the first wife Xiaoba is marrying, and she is the only lover who can say "I love you". In fact, I feel that it is meaningless to be obsessed with being single-mindedly, and xx loves xx more, because it is very likely that a person has loved more than one person in his life, and there is no need to distinguish between feelings, as long as it comes from the heart. What I also like very much about "The Ballad of Green Snow" is that there is no amnesia plot. The entanglements and ties between the three protagonists are also very deep. It is a true and flesh-and-blood triangle. The last thing I want to say is that it's 2025, and the old novel is still good!
I stayed up all night and fished at work to finish the article. I am grateful to the author for his description of Jianghu. I have so many emotions that I don't know how to write. I can only thank the author again for allowing me to cry and laugh with the ups and downs of the characters in the article. Are there any regrets? There must be some, such as Qingluan's success, Loulan's letting go, and Haizhi's departure. There is also a heart connection, and it is easy to get drunk. . . These women are so distressing. As I grow up, I realize how difficult it is for lovers to finally get married. Love has many forms. I am reminded of a sentence in POI, "We will grow old together, at least as far apart as we are." I hope that the sequel Bingzhi can reconcile, and I hope that Xin Yuan, Zui Yi, Loulan Qingluan, etc. Can. . . This chapter of "Qingxue Yao" has been finished, and I'm going to catch up on the sequel. However, the author has not updated it for a year, my heart! Let me make up the number of words for a song I listened to recently. (Also, I would like to express my love for Xushi. I hope I can have a girlfriend like Xushi in the near future!) I only wish I could describe you with seven points back then It is difficult to find beautiful words and sentences, and the exquisite writing style is broken Not willing to acquiesce is my talent. If I say don't go, why bother reminding me? The clearer you remember it, the harder it is to seek resemblance. Only when you scratch your head until your hair falls can you get a sentence Checking old books has been included in the songs of the ancients In the middle of the night, facing the deep snow, a face full of earthly fireworks How many rounds can you understand? How can you know that the blood in your heart is still hot if you don't speak out your heart? Now that we have met, why not light up the lamp and shine your hands on the mountains and rivers? Some words are half spoken and then silenced Listen to the bells of Han Temple to invite the wild Buddha How thin is the line between love and possession Is it too small to have an ink hook hidden in the eyebrow peak? Frost and snow blowing all over the head are considered white hair When the past is before my eyes, words are not enough Now that we are separated into two places, even a single word seems to be stolen. Why can't I find a glimpse of romance when I'm full of leisure and sorrow? What's the point of leaving behind a false reputation? If we can't stay together forever, you hold the flowers and I hold the wine After I wake up, can you give me a good dream as before? If you didn't go first, how would you know I'm following you? Walking through the world of red dust and white snow Never mind spending time but fear being buried Who parted the spring grass to find the two ruts underneath? The music has already left my mouth, but the strings are still trembling. May we be lucky enough to be remembered who can remember
I laughed to death from this paragraph. I don't know what the pick-up writer will do when he sees this. Hahahaha, although Qingxi is in love, it looks pretty, but they are indeed a master-disciple relationship. But I think the same thing as you, Xiaoba probably doesn't love Xishi and loves Luaner. After your analysis, I really started to doubt, does Luaner love Xushi? Hahahahaha, please decrypt the author's posthumous biography. Please come back and update the article soon! Don't be fooled by girls
Finally saw the ending. The one I like the most is Master Yan Gu. Yan Xushi, who has devoted his love to heaven and man, is finally rewarded. Xixue gets her wish and goes to the far end of the world. It should be sprinkled with flowers. Several times I felt my nose was sore and I wanted to cry. The author is really good at fanning the flames. Everyone loves Lin Xiaoba. Xushi, Qingluan, Loulan, Ran Bing, her maids and her subordinates, so many people love her without regrets. For the sake of Master Yan, sometimes I really wish she could be cooler, but I can't bear to hurt Qingluan. It really felt like I had lost my life when I saw Yang Guo. Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, never married, and little Guo Xiang wandered around the world. Touching my chin, why do I suddenly feel that Yang Guo is more affectionate than Xiao Ba = = Who would fall in love with Yan Xichi. She is so strong, she will not lose, feel pain, cry, or die. She fell in love with Xiaoba so easily just because no one tried to love her. Girl Xin Yuan is very nice, but if two pieces of ice come together, you will really freeze to death%>_<%. As for Qingluan, the moth flies into the fire, and the phoenix turns upside down. She actually kept her true feelings, but in the end, this woman could only stay in the huge palace and watch them leave without looking back. Her most beloved people, her most cherished people, they were gone, leaving her high and alone for the rest of her years. Yes, neither Loulan nor her brothers can do it. Even if they were all here, she would still be alone. Those two people are the ones she cherishes the most. Do you remember the ending of Looking for Qin? Xiang Shaolong and Qin Qingji Yanran left the Great Wall. But for Xiaopan, the happy ending was that his master, his great master, left him together. He continued to be his first emperor, and his master also had an adopted son named Xiang Yu. This is really malice from the universe... That's too far. Pull it back again. Then... Then... I felt like something was wrong. The finale is here. My favorite Lord Yan Gu has found happiness, and Qingluan also has hope of letting go in the sequel. Why does it still feel weird? Further down, I saw three extras. Qing, Xi, Fan, Wai, Yo~ I instantly felt like, well, the door to a new world has opened! This weird and wrong rush is finally over! I finally understood where the bits and pieces in the text came from. In the end, it's hard to reconcile. Epiphyllum Valley in southern Jiangsu. The morning dew and the night-blooming night-blooming cereus are so close... To the end of the world. "... I am not afraid of heaven or earth. I am only afraid that heaven will not respond to me and earth will not follow me." Thumbs up for Lord Yan Gu. →_→Bullying Qingluan is a good thing. She knows so many things and can teach her everything she wants to learn. There are so many things she wants to learn. How can it be enough in only three years? In the Qimen Formation, her master had bruised herself all over. That was her first injury. "... She wants you to be happy, and I also want you to be happy..." "Yan Isn't this really taking advantage? Really? Qingluan, you... In the past three years, you have often begged for hugs and hugs, right? Happiness... She is one of the Four Wonders, a generation of masters who are invincible in the world. Her appearance is peerless, and there is no one in the world who can match her. She is good at healing poisons and is known as a miracle doctor. She is the eldest princess of Dali, and is revered by the nobles of Tianhuang. But, she is not happy. She was so lonely and she knew it. That person is used to being patient, and she can hide the huge pain in a calm way. She often suffers to save face, and if she has something on her mind, she will never say anything until she dies. Oh, I didn't say anything even if I was holding myself back. (Master Yan Gu, you have to suffer! You have to suffer! You are so awkward and arrogant!) So, what happened next? Later, she lost all love, disowned her relatives, killed people like hemp, and her hands were full of blood. She still remembers that crazy old guy in linen clothes under the city wall who looked like a demon was her master, and she couldn't kill her. Later, her magic power exceeded nine, she was so confused that she slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, and was struck by five thunders. I still remember that before the bloody massacre in Xiangyang began, he pushed her away from him with a palm and away from him. The empress, who was ready to kill someone even if she called her the wrong name, endured being choked and yelled at and threatened. She never wanted to touch Yan Xushi. The emperor's mind, the emperor's methods, she is extremely skilled in them, and she has thousands of miles of power under her control, so why can't she be ruthless enough to touch her? (Xiao Ba, why do you suddenly feel that your next appearance will be a hindrance? Let's discuss it and you can disappear in the future???) And later... "Why did you die like this? You... You... You are not afraid of anything. You don't want to die. Come back to life and let's find her together. I never wanted you to die. Even when I didn't wake up before, I didn't want you to die... Master, Master..." Please don't leave, okay? In front of her, she looked like an old woman, and the stubborn old man screamed happily. Some people may think this is a provocation to a perfect love rival, but I firmly believe this is JQ! Only after she fell asleep did she confide in peace. Or maybe shortly after she woke up, when she suddenly heard the news of her master's death, she burst into tears in the imperial garden, which hurt her heart. She thought she wouldn't die. Even if a hundred thousand troops besieged her, even if there was a lightning strike from the sky, she thought she would not die. That's Yan Xushi, that's her master. The master who is as omnipotent as a deity knows her abilities so well, how could she die? It turned out to be a big dream. After waking up from the dream, things are different and people are different. Where are the people she loved, the people who loved her? I woke up, why are you all gone? Master... After so long, she finally saw her again, with black hair and black hair, and no martial arts skills. I burst into tears for a moment. Her master could no longer discuss literature and martial arts with her and fight with her for three days and three nights. Master, should you admit defeat this time? But fortunately, fortunately, she is still alive, as long as she is still alive. But, in the end, they left. Only she remains. Throughout the full text, according to analysis, the actual triangle relationship is actually like this... Xi Shi loves Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba loves Qing Luan, Qing Luan loves X Shi... No, no. Knock your head and tell yourself that Qingluan Xishi and the others have a pure master-disciple relationship. The master-disciple relationship, everything that shines is the shining master-disciple relationship! Xinyuan also said that she and her master had a pure master-disciple relationship... Because Xushi never asked. Hey, Master, go back and ask your various disciples, including Xiao Qingluan, maybe there will be a lot of unexpected gains (heavy fog)~~ You are so good, how can someone not love you? Why can't Xiaoqingqing, Xiaoxi and Xinan decisively abandon Xiaoba and be together? I'm worried about Xiaoba, and Loulan. This is such a perfect ending, isn't it? Finally, I yelled one sentence to end it. Cp is reversible and irremovable! Ps: Well, looking at it this way, Qingxi is such a harmonious couple~~ I use my black eyes to see what I want, and then compile them into a long review... Pps: Ah, let some master edit a video of Qing Xi. The number of words in the author's extra chapter is a bit short and not satisfying = =
When I was reading the text, I was thinking how great it would be if Qing Xi were a couple. They all abandoned the selfish and sentimental eighth lady. Ha ha
Woohoo~waiting for the author's update.
