I brushed it again, Dayu, when will you come back to write (sad
Hey, I discovered a pattern: good articles basically don't have any extras.
I don't dare to take it seriously. It's really beautiful. I finished reading it in one go! I really like the work. The heroine is interesting and has her own principles.
It felt very disturbing when I read it at the beginning, but the more I read it, the more enjoyable it became. Although it was written 15 years ago, ten years have passed, but it is still very good now. The author is really great.
Watching it again, I just like this kind of story where the woman has a high IQ and the male protagonist is also very powerful, and they are evenly matched. The first day of the first lunar month of 2021.
This is the first time I have read a story about a male and female protagonist who are so in love with each other. I found it very interesting. It is not as boring as Pure Love, nor as monotonous as Ingenuity. Although I couldn't understand half of the story where the female protagonist likes the male protagonist and has different political views, so she would fight to the death. Later, I probably felt it and felt that the heroine was a bit bullying. How could people two thousand years ago understand the feeling of so much love? The female protagonist is cute and the male protagonist is pitiful. The best writer in the whole text must be Zhao Chongjiao. The author also said that he could not stop the car, so he wrote him as a cinnabar mole in his heart. The profile description made the character colorful and full. In the end, it no longer matters who dominates the world. This is the finishing touch, unconventional, and re-pointing out the background of the male and female protagonist Guigu School. The ending echoes, scatter flowers? Scatter flowers? Scatter flowers?
The heroine is very thoughtful, and such an independent personality would have been very unaccustomed to her in ancient times. I don't think it was the environment at the time that forced her to act, okay? ! Never rely on others to live your life. This is my personal experience. I don't rely on my parents or men. On the contrary, they all rely on me. So I admire the heroine very much. If I were the heroine, I would do better than her!
It's beautiful, I love watching the heroine go about her career!
What is the heroine's position?
Ah, this is not enough to watch at all. I feel like it's not over yet?
