The Dusty Dream of the Wilds, 1978. Please save it to your collection! Blurb:
The Buddha of Wujing X the Pearl of Night Harbor
A man of power and influence, he bows for love.
*One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first, sweet, happy ending
-
Rumor had it that the Cheng family of Wujing had a secret: the seventh son’s origins were unknown. Abandoned as a child, he was raised at a Buddhist sanctuary. At twenty, he committed a grave mistake, was disowned by his family, and driven out of Wujing.
In Xiaonanguo, the Pearl of the Harbor beside Hong Kong, a mysterious big shot appeared overnight, stirring up the region and taking control of the South with the force of a thunderbolt. It was also said that this big shot was handsome, but lived an extremely austere life, abstaining from meat and praying to Buddha year-round, and keeping his distance from women.
After Yan Zhengsheng passed away, he left behind his wife, daughter, and the entire Hong Kong business empire.
Yan Zhengsheng had once joked that whoever married his beloved daughter would become the next King of Hong Kong. Suitors soon crowded their gates, including the older brother she had called “brother” for eighteen years.
Cheng Jiaye came to pay his respects and happened to catch Yan Tingshen passionately confessing his love to his younger sister.
Having suddenly lost her father’s protection, the little princess had no time to grieve before she was plunged into the world of vice. To find safety, Yan Chen headed for Wujing.
-
Three years later.
At a top-tier banquet,
Yan Chen learned by chance that the mysterious guest invited to the evening’s festivities was Rong Jiaye, known as the Great Buddha of Wujing. She hurried away, gathering up her couture dress as she fled.
Passing the presidential suite, she accidentally caught sight of her beautiful young stepmother taking off her clothes and seducing a powerful man with her youthful, voluptuous body.
Yan Chen held her breath and stared, eyes wide.
The man seated above suddenly raised his eyes, beckoned in their direction, and said, “Come here.”
-
Later, when their relationship came to light, her close friend rushed to her side from Hong Kong overnight, heartbroken and tearful. “BB, there are rumors he abstains from meat and prays to Buddha, and keeps his distance from women...”
What a miserable life.
Yan Chen rubbed her sore waist and gritted her teeth. “Hah.”
To hell with rumors.
/
The wilds are far and desolate.
Returning to Wujing was my good fortune.
May I journey with you through this dream of splendor in the capital, through the misty nights of the harbor.
Theme: The first story in A Dream of Splendor in the Capital
After seeing the author's Weibo, I started thinking about writing a side story about He, which gave me mixed feelings. On the one hand, I am happy to see the two protagonists again, but on the other hand, I feel that be is actually their destined ending. Ah Ci was very sober, right from the beginning of the story, so in the end, she did not tell Liang Wei about her pregnancy, because she would never use that kind of reason to keep him. The same goes for Liang Wei. From that position, interests are always the priority. It doesn't matter if you are tempted, a match may be the best choice. I don't know if you have seen the previous four. When Meng Yun and Lin Jia met again, even though they didn't really let go of each other completely, time has passed and we are no longer us. Without Meng Yun, Lin Jia might not be as good as she is now. Just like Mu Ci did not meet Liang Weiye, how long can the thirty-eight-year-old romance last? They met and fell in love with a purpose. Getting married is the ending that this story will not happen. Some people are already precious just by meeting them, and they may never have the best ending. Those who can't let go now will eventually be taken lightly by time. I hope they can continue to shine in their own fields in the future and be happy from now on. But actually the most important thing is how many manuscripts are saved for the next article!
To put it bluntly, there is not enough love, and there are many fame and fortunes that the male protagonist cannot give up. No matter how touching the process was, it still delayed the heroine's entire life.
I don't know if my understanding is correct. They are not together because the male protagonist chose his family but not the female protagonist. It is obvious that Liang Wei is in the same situation as his father. His father chose his true love at the cost of losing his status as the head of the Liang family and being expelled from the family. Therefore, it is not that there are no obstacles at all. On the contrary, the invisible obstacles of generations are too great, because the male protagonist is Of course, Liang Wei, the head of the family chosen by grandpa, could also choose Ah Ci, but he would definitely not get the Liang family and what he wanted. The paradox is that he could give up his life for Ah Ci, but he would not give up the Liang family behind him, and he would not give up the glory, wealth and power of his class. Therefore, this man's love is really realistic, but he really loves Ah Ci very much. Maybe the author's portrayal is too good. . . That's really what I said, no one here is a love brain! I came here based on a recommendation, and it really left me with a lot of energy after reading it. . . The writing is so good and the characters are so full-bodied that I really loved it when I cried!!!
Did we get together in the end? I remember it was mentioned in a certain chapter. It's a pity that we missed it for so many years.
Although I have only read a little bit, I can feel that the author's writing style is very good, and the characters and backgrounds are also very attractive to me! But because I knew the ending setting and my own endurance, I only dared to read the last chapter. I felt sour after reading it. But I am looking forward to the next one, which is sweet!
Still don't love enough so we can't be together
Let me throw some thunder first. Come back later to say goodbye to Mr. Shi and Mr. Liang.
Sometimes the process is more important than the result. Emotionally, it may not be a good ending if it ends without any problem. After all, the process is exciting enough. I thought Zhao Pengcheng would be able to tell Liang Wei after the child was aborted, and he was quite trustworthy. Finished spreading flowers!
It's more like be here. Ten years later, we are all standing in our own place. Occasionally there will be scenes where it seems like you have never left.
I want to read the next book "Hexi", I must read it.
