Some readers call him a scumbag, which I think is a bit unfair. Wei Lin failed at Xiang Sheng's end, but it could not be attributed to his moral problems. Wei Lin eventually became a loser, with both his career and love ending miserably. The main reason was the fault of his grandfather and father. First of all, his path has been determined since he was born. He has been a prince since he was a child. He has no chance to be a free king. He has been educated as a prince for many years. If he does not continue on, not only will the previous ten years of education, patience, and hard work be in vain, but he will also be eliminated by his competitors. His right to survival has been endangered. What could be bigger than this. Besides, there was no other choice for him to fight for the throne. He had no support from his mother's family, and was unable to cultivate supporters among the military attachés because he was jealous of the old emperor. However, his opponent Wei Shan had the support of Concubine Liu Guifei and the Cheng family. Cooperation between Wei Lin and the Yan family, who had military power, was basically the only way, and it was inevitable to be coerced by the Yan family. Looking at Wei Lin's attitude towards Xiang Sheng, not to mention his protection before marriage, he also trusted and loved Xiang Sheng after marriage. Xiang Sheng only had a good impression of Wei Lin before marriage, and it was during the sweet life after marriage that he fell in love. Even in the matter of reducing his wife to a concubine, Wei Lin was honest enough. Wei Lin promised to make Xiang Sheng's child a prince, which was a very important sign for people at that time. I believe that if Xiang Sheng enters the palace and becomes a concubine, Wei Lin will try his best to be good to her. Wei Lin is actually doing his best to be good to Xiang Sheng. It is true that Wei Lin did not put love first, but the foundation of a person's life is not love in the first place. Didn't Xiang Sheng choose to leave Wei because he put self-respect, self-reliance, and independence above love? I feel more sorry for Wei Lin. His IQ and EQ are high enough, and he works hard enough, but his personal power cannot turn the wheel of history. The demise of the Wei State was laid as early as the failure of the first Wei emperor to take back the military power of the family. Emperor Yongkang's incompetence caused the Wei State to make mistakes again and again. However, his opponent Qi Jun had enough knowledge and ability. Wei Lin's failure could be said to be doomed at birth. A person who can't even save his country and his life is indeed unable to save a complete love. He has failed Xiangsheng under the pressure of survival. He has limited abilities and cannot be blamed for his scumbag behavior. Compared with Xiaoyu, Wei Lin certainly does not trust Xiangsheng as completely as Xiaoyu, because Xiaoyu has been taken care of by Xiangsheng since he was a child and opened his heart from the beginning, while Wei Lin grew up without anyone to protect him. He had already developed a tolerant character when he met Xiangsheng. It seems that he and Xiangsheng were only married for 1 or 2 years. The two of them got closer, but they were not close enough to have a heart-to-heart relationship. It's not Wei Lin's fault. Fortunately, when the country was destroyed, Wei Lin thought about it and did not risk his life for historical mistakes. In fact, I really want the author to write about his later life, so that he can get out of the shadow of failure and find the value of life.
I thought it was a sweet article, but it turned out that it was a little bit realistic and was being abused (here, I'm going to make a face-palming expression full of tears). I was abused not only because I was on the wrong team, but also because the supporting actors reminded me of real life. King Yiyang is like a boy who chased you in high school and made the girls who liked him embarrass you. When he liked you, his eyes were bright, innocent and ignorant, but when his family told him not to fall in love early and to find a teacher, he gave up. Your girlish heart has also been a little fluttering, vain, and finally turned into bubbles. Xu Che reminded me of the real stories of people around me. The two fell in love in the country, but before meeting their parents, the man's parents decided to immigrate the family to North America. The man proposed to the woman and wanted to take her away. The woman hesitated again and again, but finally decided to stay. The two reluctantly broke up. Neither of them found anyone else within a few years after breaking up. Maybe they didn't let go completely, or maybe they just didn't meet the right one. Later they got married and had children. The woman's job is average, not for her career, but because she doesn't want to marry far away and leave her family. She also has average abilities and is afraid that she won't be able to adapt after going abroad and will have to rely on the man to lose herself. These were told to me by the woman herself. As soon as I saw the story of Xu Che and the heroine, as well as the heroine's considerations at the time, I felt like it. Prince Wei Lin makes me so sad, he is a tragic figure. He cannot simply be summed up as a scumbag. I very much agree with the heroine's evaluation of him and her actions. Does Wei Lin love the heroine? I think he loves me, although not deeply. They were not in love before marriage, but they could tell that the prince had a crush on them, and they were in harmony after marriage. When the Yan family pressed each other, the prince always tried to find a way to refuse, and refused many times. The person in power naturally doesn't like to be forced, but if he is purely motivated by interests, he can agree directly and then kill the donkey. From his method of seizing the heir to his final defeat and the country's subjugation, I think he is still a person with a bottom line. But he is not a person as bright as the bright moon, and his feelings for the heroine are not like those of the male protagonist in a romance novel. There are too many such things in real life. Love? Love, but the foundation of your career that you have invested a lot in to survive is shaken, or your love encounters setbacks (maybe in a different place), what are the two choices? Of course, modern people cannot accept using their wives as concubines, and they usually encounter other challenges. In real life, I would not ask my spouse to become an underground lover, but I might stay in a different place or even break up with him for the sake of my future. What if you were the heroine? Because I have also experienced the man's situation, I understand. But because of love, I can't accept it. The heroine's approach is already the best, understanding and not resenting, but not accepting and leaving. Regarding not giving a posthumous title to Empress Yuan, I was angry at first. I felt that he had never loved the heroine. How could he not give her a posthumous title if he loved you? I really can't accept it. In general, like this kind of literature, don't they all claim that they love the heroine very much and that the heroine is ruthless? As I was writing the review, I seemed to understand again. If it were me, faced with this relationship that I had invested in, the other party promised me to tolerate it for the time being and get through the difficulties, but ended up leaving without saying goodbye. I was angry and blamed myself, and maybe I really didn't want to face this. After writing so much, I still feel like I don't know how to describe the relationship between the prince and Xiangsheng. I fell in love, I gave up due to reality, and when we finally met, we were speechless. The best thing is that we will never see each other again. The person in the upper position is not happy at all, nor is he happy to see the other person in a state of decline. The other party has failed him, but he also has his own difficulties. Thinking of those loving moments spent together, I just feel sad. The worst thing is that after sacrificing everything and paying so much, the country still perished. Before the fall of the country, he wrote a memorial and cried alone at his desk. It made me very sad to see him. I won't comment on Xia Houyu, I don't have too many thoughts. He is more like the male protagonists who appear in ordinary romances, not as special as Xu Che and Wei Lin. Xu Che's character will become very hateful in many stories, or even just passerby. In this article, he is always nice and warm, but he is not a warm guy who always waits for the heroine. It is good to be unconventional. Wei Lin's character, in other stories I have read, is simply a villainous boss. He will be criticized like crazy in the future, and he will also imprison the heroine and keep saying that you loved me back then, why didn't you give me a chance. Wei Lin was not crazy from beginning to end, which is good. He didn't give up on the heroine as soon as he heard about the marriage, he didn't blame the heroine for changing his mind after taking over, and he didn't go crazy after failure. From the perspective of character creation, readers can sympathize with his choices and psychology. I still prefer the story about Fourteen Years of Chenghua, where the two protagonists can never leave each other and stay with each other.
It's very interesting. I thank the author for writing such a heroine. I was speechless when I saw the author saying that some people criticized the heroine of "National Beauty" for having three relationships and that she was used by others. The female protagonists of Guose and Tianxiang are both very good. Although Jinjiang is a female channel, there are not many real female-centered stories with growth lines. It's not wrong to love several people in your life, because they are human beings, and the occurrence and loss of relationships are the complete experience of the heroine. Why do some people in female videos criticize the heroine? Our heroine is sincere and open to everyone she loves, much better than the men.
It's been a long time since I've read such a comfortable ancient poem. Only when you can feel the profound historical foundation and cultural accumulation while reading, can you feel valuable when reading this kind of article. Such a vivid yet flawed character creation also makes people read more realistically, (and the last few extra chapters are actually written to the point I want to know in each chapter - hhh. I read the comments that the author went to write about Danmei, which is a bit sad. Www
I really like this book and the heroine's character setting and choices. The ancient saying is quite difficult to write, because the space for women to display is limited, and it is too difficult to shape individuals if they are not limited to the back house or focus on love. Due to the background of the times, there is no way. That's why the author repeatedly mentioned in the article, what if it was the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because there would not have been such a woman in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there would be no room for such a woman, so this story does not exist. It is set in troubled times, when princes rise together, and before unification, it cannot be said that rituals and music collapsed, but all kinds of restraints were greatly slowed down, there was no finality, and the power of the princes increased infinitely (similar to a startup company, the boss is the core combat power of a company, and rights and obligations are equal). Only then can all this happen. Heroine, I really love you. It is not set to Su Po Tian's punching and kicking civil servants and generals, science and technology cultivate life. Of course, in fact, it doesn't matter. What you write is more reasonable. In novels, the main character's golden finger is only about whether it is a reasonable size or not. The key point lies in the character of the heroine. Ah~ sigh, it's really easy to write only about love in a romance novel! It seems that the heroine's excellence is all for falling in love. The so-called self-improvement and self-reliance are actually just buying a personality, but this is not the case for our baby Xiangsheng. From when she had no goals and drifted with the crowd in Wei State, to when she entered the field of power, and then to? The village feels pity and becomes entrusted with planning by the village chief, then he understands the troubled times and people's livelihood, and actually does things, and then he falls in love with the male protagonist without losing his own ambition. The heroine's character and quality are consistent, and she is a person who can live well anywhere. But her thoughts and behaviors are changing with opportunities and experiences. That's awesome! I think it was not easy for the author to write this book. In fact, we can see that the heroine's greatest influence in the "local war" was in that small country that I forgot its name, and she shined under Xu's command. Later, when we enter the Qi Kingdom, including the previous Wei Kingdom, the political fights are still borne by the ex and the male protagonist, and the characters who appear are all men. The female protagonist does not play a decisive role here, and is far from being considered a table player until she marries the male protagonist. This is why it's difficult to write wonderful ancient Chinese novels, so I love pre-Qin literature (a dog's head saves one's life, but the writing about slaves is too real and I can't stand it) Closer to home, I really like the setting of the big scenes in this book, and the small copies are so wonderfully written. The character of the heroine is one of my favorites in ancient novels, but what I like most about this book is the scenes of political battles and emperors. Big ambition is not small, laugh, the writing is very good. It's not logical, but it clearly expresses one's feelings and opinions, and blends emotions into the scene (this word suddenly comes to mind for no reason). Use the fate of each character, the rise and fall of the country, to write about human nature, character, and personal encounters in the ancient setting. No wonder I have said everything I wanted to express. I see a lot of shadows of emperors in these two old emperors. The male protagonist is so perfect. I like Wei Lin more. I don't like the described image (I don't like this kind of person), but I like his three-dimensionality and playability. There is another character, Xu? ? , This role is really wonderful, I even think she has a little bit of a punchline. She is not as suave as the heroine, more real, so the vitality in her body is unyielding. She has made the best efforts she can, with joy, anger, sorrow, jealousy, kindness, and pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In just a few scenes, such a diverse image has been established, which fully demonstrates the author's skills. When I saw her meeting the male protagonist and detailing her life story, I couldn't help but think of that marginalized little girl who was rejected by everyone when we first met. It feels like the light rain of apricot blossoms that year, just like when An Lingrong looks back on her life, people can't help but think of her tenderness and youthfulness when she first saw her when she entered the palace. Feeling I'm going to write a short essay soon hahh, I really like this kind of book and will continue to follow the author's lead and read other articles by the author. But have you heard that bg is no longer written? I like power and politics, but I have a different obsession with girls' perspectives. I don't like to watch boys falling in love (hhh), I would rather watch without CP, but it doesn't involve love at all. It feels like eating dried steamed buns. Generally speaking, the writing of dried steamed buns cannot be better than official history or my professional books (hhh). It's hard to resist, even if bg is in trouble. I still look forward to more bg articles from the author. Best wishes
It's very good. After reading "Feng Gui Chao", I was a little worried that the author's BG 10 years ago might not be as to my taste as the one 2 years ago. Now I realize that I really worried too much [spread flowers]. I never liked reading articles related to stock buying before, let alone changing the male protagonist (actually, it is more like changing my husband bushi). I would like to thank the author for curing my picky eater. I used to be a BL lover. In the past few years, I have watched too much BG and now I like BG even more. I sincerely hope that the author can write more ancient sayings so that I can feast my eyes on [Lop-eared Rabbit Head]
After reading it, I feel that the writing behind it is too bland.
I like Dawangmiao's writing. Whether it's romance or original content, it carefully shows the precious and affectionate relationship between two souls who love each other and move forward side by side. Both parties have an overall view of the situation, instead of being stuck in the personal relationship between children in the backyard all day long, nor weakening or strengthening one party, and writing some pretentious romance.
If the writing is good, I will write about Danmei. . Bitter. .
Nothing is cliché, it's beautiful!
