Blurb:
Cui Lingyun first met Li Longyou on the steps before a hall steeped in the stench of blood. He led his troops in breaking through the South Sima Gate, bound his political enemies, and hauled them beneath the high steps of the front hall. Then he took a seat to watch their executions, forcing the Son of Heaven to show himself.
She was a puppet empress treading on thin ice; he was the arrogant son of a powerful minister. After the emperor failed to execute the treacherous officials, she was pushed before him as a shield. With her life worth less than grass, she knew death was near and feared she would meet the same fate as Dong Guiren, consort to Emperor Xian of Han.
* *
Under the pretext of purging the emperor's court and avenging his family, Li Longyou slaughtered his way through the grounds before Weiyang Palace. If the emperor did nothing, he would chill the hearts of his loyal subjects. If he bowed and scraped, his imperial authority would be lost forever. But the emperor never came. Instead, a delicate little empress arrived.
Her long hair trailed behind her slender figure. She bowed gracefully, tears streaming down her face. "I am willing to die in atonement for the nobles' crimes." The way she lowered her head reminded him of an injured crane with a broken wing.
Li Longyou was captivated, his heart bewitched. From that moment, one thought turned him into a demon, and he fell into an abyss of suffering from which he would never escape.
He would clear every obstacle and forge a golden age, so she could break free of her shackles, hold her head high, and become a true empress: his founding empress. Since emperors taking their ministers' wives was nothing new, he wanted to see what would happen if a minister took the emperor's wife...
*Good beginnings, bitter endings. Who bears the heavier burden of past deeds?*
The road is hard, not because of rivers or mountains, but because human hearts are fickle.[1]
Golden rules and iron laws can be broken. The rites and customs of the world can be crossed. But the human heart is beyond measure.
[1] From Bai Juyi's "The Road Through Taihang"
[Short scene: BE warning]
On the night they parted, he said, "There has never been an emperor and empress who divorced. Don't even think about it."
"Nothing can be built without first breaking something," she replied calmly. "If we can't be the first imperial couple celebrated through the ages, then we can be the first to divorce."
Later, he finally gave in and personally brought her the divorce papers. In a humble voice, he said, "Deposing you would tarnish your reputation. I'm afraid future generations would misunderstand. You're right. If we can't be the first imperial couple celebrated through the ages, then let's be the first to divorce."
Later still, he lay at rest beneath a mound of yellow earth. She traveled far to Jiangnan, where, among its warm mountains and gentle waters, she grew old hand in hand with the one who had waited with her for the flowers to bloom.

Long Comment 3: The Core of Li Longyou's Tragedy
After reading Xuan Lang's follow-up article, I can see that the tragic core of Cui and Li continues, and the next generation has suffered all the hardships in life for the grudges of the previous generation. After Li Longyou lost his aura as the male protagonist, he lost even more charm, almost disappearing from everyone, and became the most worldly and violent king.
In his own words, he became a failed general, a failed king, a failed husband, a failed father, and a failed man.
He attributed all this failure to A Yun's cold treatment.
He went to Rouyi Palace to knock on the door every night, feeling disappointed and resentful in his heart.
But in fact, he not only hoped that she would open the door, but also hoped that she would shut him out. In this way, when he turned to look for Xiao Qiongyu, his psychological burden was suddenly relieved.
He even expected that when everything broke out, he would throw this perfect excuse on her face and tell her that she was the one who was in the wrong and she had personally pushed him to another woman. He couldn't wait to see her expression of shame, regret, sadness, helplessness, and pain. He had forgotten all about her frail body and haggard mind. At this time, his cold-blooded and despicable core was undoubtedly exposed.
Later, he went to Cuiyuan again and again to knock on the door, but the door was no longer open to him.
He once had the most successful life in the world, the best woman, and the best child, but he didn't know it and thought it was nothing more than that. He didn't believe in evil, and he wanted to taste what it was like to be a female assassin back then. He tasted it, and then found that it was nothing more than that. He was very proud, thinking that he finally understood women. He felt that Ayun was never grateful and never knew how to repay his infatuation, so he fully enjoyed the gratitude of the subjugated princess. Then he not only tasted the feeling of ecstasy and smoothness inside and outside, but also tasted the feeling of his wife and children being separated, and his family being destroyed.
In fact, most men simply cannot resist femme fatales, and they are always confident that their methods are just tricks to suppress ordinary women. Women who are green tea or venomous will eventually be conquered by them. This principle is the same as a woman always feeling that she will be the last stop for a romantic man. In fact, the outcome is often overestimation of one's capabilities and self-humiliation.
These men happily cooperate with the femme fatale's scheme and treat them as prey. They pretend to be addicted, sneer and indulge. They understand everything in their hearts, throw out small favors and favors, and even put their faces on the beauty to achieve their goals. You can let them play with you at your feet, making the beauty smile, but what you actually want in your mind is that one day in the future, you must let these slutty bitches kneel and lick at your feet. This is not only the stimulation of sex, but also the enjoyment of rights. Almost no man will take the initiative to refuse.
After being arrogant and submissive, they thought they had their hearts in their hands, so they treated them as their own property, played with them, humiliated them at will, showed off to other men, and then abandoned them ruthlessly, or moved on to the next conquest, or turned around to find their original spouse, earning the reputation of a prodigal son who regards beauty as clothes.
Even just thinking about such a story makes a man's heart tremble.
But the reality is that once they step into the spider web, the toxins will slowly enter their bodies, and they will be completely eaten away from body to heart, leaving them no longer able to resist. Around them, those who are truly worthy but have been let down are either implicated or far away from them.
These people who believe in being unique and insist on challenging the impossible have all kinds of strange endings, but without exception, they all live their lives in a way that they hate.
As a result, the final awakening and regret are extremely ridiculous. This is a bloody emotional tragedy and a clumsy farce of life.
In this sense, femme fatales are indeed much more lethal to men than women from good families. As the saying goes, fight poison with poison, one thing will be sacrificed, and all debts will be repaid.
Li Longyou, a bohemian and freedom-loving person, coupled with the blessing of the imperial power, simply did whatever he wanted and was lawless. This is equivalent to giving countless death-free gold medals to people who like to seek death.
No matter what he does, he will have the entire court and the entire world to back him up. This is because he has become the face of the world, and courtiers need a good emperor.
He has always been a willful emperor, but in fact he is also extremely willful emotionally.
He lost his mother when he was young, and had a grudge against a female assassin, so he didn't understand women at all. However, he was struck by great luck. When he tried love for the first time, he met the perfect partner of body and mind. But he thought this was destined and should belong to him, so he went all out and used all means to get her into his hands.
He simply didn't understand that in this relationship that he thought he was the only one chasing after, Ayun had been covering it up for him.
As early as when he wanted to revitalize his family, feel proud, and want to marry into the Wang family, she had gradually seen his true nature, but she never gave up on him, and she was obsessed with him. She had nothing but hope that he would keep his promise.
Before meeting him, she had already tasted the love between men and women, and knew the complexity and fragility of human hearts. His method of exchanging feelings with other people, which threatened to be bound by interests, was simply dismissed by Ayun. She chose to be with him because she bet her little true love on it, and she was willing to make this huge gamble with him that the world regarded as innocent and foolish.
The orchids and the fruits are always together and finally apart.
They could have reunited and dispersed, and lived in peace, but how could Li Longyou be willing to do so? He openly and secretly forced Ayun to do it his way. He not only wanted her to love him unreservedly like other people's wives, but also wanted her to submit to him like a citizen of the world.
So the cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and the ending is tragic.
But no matter how many cracks there were, Li Longyou would still hold on to her. Even if it would destroy her, she would still be destroyed in his hands.
And when the first crack appeared, Ayun's cold heart was already ready to pull away at any time.
So Ayun said to Li Longyou, you and I can't be husband and wife in this life, nor can we be passers-by, but sworn enemies.
His love for her is unstoppable, his resentment is overwhelming, and his hatred is deep-rooted.
And she didn't want to put her love and hate on this man anymore. She put down all her love and completely forgot about it. She wanted to leave him truly and forever. There is no feeling of love and hate, only the calculation of grudges. In the name of love, he has caused humiliation, harm, and persecution to her. Not even an enemy can do these things.
What exactly makes a man decide to cheat on his wife even though he and his wife love each other deeply and she trusts him so much, yet he still enjoys it?
I find it difficult to explain this, other than to say that there is something really wrong with this relationship. When a man's love and desire cannot be satisfied at the same time, his original intention and persistence will definitely change.
It is true that a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, but a man's heart is also like a cloud in the wind, changing rapidly and not bound by any emotion.
Of course, it's still the same saying, "It's not about the heart but the deeds."
It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to actually do it.
He used Ayun's trust as a weapon to backhand stab her. Not only was he sorry for the love she gave him, but he also trampled on her personal dignity and humiliated her.
Two people who love each other deeply cannot openly say or do this kind of power game. It is too hurtful and not in line with human nature.
So Li Longyou secretly did it in a despicable way. He knew that things would become stalemate, but deep down in his heart, his arrogance and coldness supported him. He wanted to tell her that he relied on her love, trust and dependence on him. He was angry, retaliating against her, and forcing her to recognize that he was not only her husband, but also her king.
At this time, he had already forgotten that what he originally loved was her Qing Gu who would rather break than bend.
And his methods and actions are extremely vulgar and disgusting in Ayun's three views. She once again recognized his heartless core. He was ruthless and cruel to others, and he would certainly be the same to her one day.
Although Li Longyou saved her with his life many times and gave her a vigorous and unparalleled love, Ayun was always trapped by current events and worldly affairs and had to rely on him.
But there is still no doubt that she is the absolute dominant party and the one in control in this love struggle, because she is too clear-headed and he is too confused.
She recognized early on the necessity of being an independent individual. Before being someone's wife or someone's mother, she must first be herself in order to stand in the world.
As early as when her father took her back to the family and was forced into Xiao Baozhang's harem, she had already seen through the cold-blooded ruthlessness beneath the sanctimony of powerful men and emperors. No matter how good a man is, he will become greedy, selfish and cowardly when he is in a high position, while women are just accessories and appearances, no essential difference from ants in the world, and the queen is no exception.
Although she has also made up her mind, for the sake of her own heart and love, she is willing to give Li Longyou a try, go forward side by side, and go upstream together. For their future, she will not back down when she needs to be brave.
But when she discovered that the situation is easy to change, the nature is hard to change, and Li Longyou really abandoned their vows, she was not without shock. At the same time, the thread of trust and persistence instantly collapsed in the long-standing contradiction. She realized that there was no essential difference between Li Longyou and those men. This was a trait given to them by the patriarchal society, and she was indeed an enemy of the secular people.
Even Li Longyou's badness is even more terrifying, because his ruthlessness is disguised as affection, and his shamelessness is disguised as love.
She had no other choice. Either she would be tortured to death by him and the world, and die in depression, or she could cut it off and perhaps be reborn.
Of course, Li Longyou would not reflect on his mistakes. He only felt that he was just following destiny, not to mention that he had never changed his mind. He was just curious and wanted to experience some new things that an emperor deserved. And Ayun, who was destined to be with him for life, should be waiting for him where he was. When he tasted it and got tired of it, he would come back, love her even more, and make up for her twice.
But he didn't understand that if Ayun was such a woman, how could he fall in love with her in the first place.
If Li Longyou learns that Ayun is actually the one who was born, and that he became the emperor, it is just a blessing. When she leaves, the emperor's star will gradually weaken and eventually wither. I am afraid he will understand more clearly why he is a failed husband and a failed king.
However, compared to these two identities, he failed even more as a father.
In fact, he doesn't care about the children at all, including Ayunsheng's Meiji and Xuanlang. When he was young, he didn't even think that bloodline inheritance was an important thing. Instead, he complained that because of having children, Ayun was trapped by motherhood, and his wife was divided into half.
He does not have natural fatherly love, which is deeply related to the fact that he himself has not received the fatherly love he deserves. Even though he was urged by A Yun to get close to his children, he always regarded them as subordinate appendages. He could give them glory and wealth at will, but he was stingy with rare feelings and was only willing to give them to the woman he truly loved. Children can sacrifice themselves for his great cause at any time, even if it is a major matter of marriage, it is only a part of his calculations and trade-offs.
Even after he became the emperor and the head of a country, he didn't really think how important it was to spread the branches and leaves. His original intention of establishing the harem was never for heirs, but to satisfy his own desires and wildness. Unlike a successful emperor, for him who failed, the country was his home, and state affairs were just his family affairs. He was confident that he had the power alone. Even if he lost his son, he could still adopt a descendant and inherit the great cause. The generations after his death should never affect his free and unrestrained life.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the most important person in his heart, his wife, his queen, is always by his side. He didn't know how to raise children, but their mother did.
And when she left him decisively, the child was completely reduced to a bargaining chip.
As for the lump of flesh and blood lying in the Ganoderma lucidum pool, it is also a bargaining chip. I have already elaborated on this in the second long comment.
Whether Li Longyou treats them well or not, it is all to force his wife to change her mind, and the family affection of Ladu must also give in to his great love.
He wanted her to regret her heartless decision to abandon her husband and son.
Of course, Meggie was a little different to him, but it wasn't because she was their first child, or just because she was with him for a long time, but because she was his second self.
Meiji is uninhibited and cynical. He not only loves her among his own flesh and blood, but also appreciates her from his peers.
He also knew that Mei Ji was domineering, vicious and ambitious hidden under her obedient flattery, but he could easily tolerate it. This was just like Tang Seng did to Bajie. People are always easy to tolerate and accept the evil in their hearts.
Mei Ji's evil made him feel less lonely.
And Xuanlang is the second her. The deep-seated hatred he felt for her that could not be revealed to the world finally found its way.
His dissatisfaction with Xuanlang existed as early as when he took away Ayun's heart when he was just born. It deepened when he ordered Xuanlang to be a hostage and Ayun was determined to protect him and abandon him and Mei Ji. And the father and son finally reunited after years of separation, but they became almost strangers. Just as A Yun and Mei Ji were separated as mother and daughter, he and Xuan Lang were also separated as father and son. The swaddled baby in his memory has turned into a man who will eventually replace him and naturally obtain everything he created.
He instinctively felt dissatisfied and unwilling to be coveted for the territory, but he was sure of Xuanlang's weight in Ayun's heart, so he used his son as a bait for him to be happy and angry, far and near.
He was never willing to give up, and waited until Xuanlang was crowned the crown prince, then he finally understood that Xuanlang had also lost value in this secret contest between him and her, and that person would never look back again, so he no longer concealed his overwhelming resentment towards him and her.
However, underneath this resentment, what was buried deepest in Li Longyou's heart was actually extreme jealousy.
He was jealous that Xuan Lang was as brilliant and magnanimous as she was. He could easily win the hearts of the world with just a benevolent heart and achieve something he would never be able to do. Their uprightness, wisdom and scheming, calmness and self-control are something that he, who is shameless and shameless, will never be able to match.
It made him seem so unworthy of her.
He didn't dare to choreograph his wife, but he could ridicule his son without any psychological burden. He withdrew all his love and care, and arbitrarily scolded Xuanlang for being hypocritical, pretentious, and alienating relatives at home and abroad. He wanted to suppress him with all his strength. While he was looking forward to breaking Xuan Lang's pride as soon as possible and truly begging for mercy from him, he was also eager for the person he had been waiting for to finally relent and come to his rescue.
However, he knew that in this family game, he was single and weak, so he tied himself deeper to Mei Ji, even if this would lead to dangerous consequences of children killing each other and the country being in danger.
He felt the same hatred that Mei Ji felt towards A Yun and Xuan Lang.
The so-called enemy of the enemy is a tacit ally.
A family that once loved each other has come to the point where they have turned against each other.
After the final violent collision, there is no winner, and the sadness and sadness belong to everyone.
As for Xiao Qiongyu's child, there is nothing to say. In Li Longyou's heart, I am afraid that this child is no different from the puppy that died in his hand. His sadness is not for the dead child at all, but for his own misery, loneliness and exhaustion.
It can be said that the role of father is Li Longyou's worst role.
However, after Fu Guang's death, Li Longyou recovered from his illness after discovering Xiao Qiongyu's true identity. He was no longer depressed and faint, and even had the intention to regain his strength. This also proved that his heart was different from ordinary people.
Xiao Qiongyu directly caused the separation of his husband and wife, and even almost killed the father and his son, and the family was ruined. However, he was able to let go of her very quickly. This is really not what a normal man can do.
Because he could finally attribute all his past mistakes to this woman, and he was just a man who was bewitched. Of course he would not let Xiao Qiongyu go, but instead of punishing her and reflecting on the past, he cared more about how to make himself feel better. He was happy that he finally found a suitable excuse to resolve his sins, because he felt that her evil made his evil very small, and he finally found a reason to live in peace and contentment.
So it is logical to say that Li Longyou is not a normal man. A normal man would rather be scolded as a scumbag who cannot resist the temptation of beauty than admit that he is stupid for being played by a woman.
Li Longyou's permanent knot and confusion was Cui Lingyun, a woman, not to mention that he never cared about reputation and morality, so after a brief moment of anger, he readily admitted that he had been fooled, because anger is also a kind of self-torture, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
He just misjudged the wrong person, so he failed his wife. Now he has repented, and he is still the tragic innocent emperor.
He has almost no shame, and it would be an understatement to say that he has few strings.
Of course, Xiao Qiongyu, the femme fatale, gave him a painful blow. It turned out that his years of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Ayun were all instigated by others. The person he loved was still the flawless person, and his actions that conquered the world for love were still so worthwhile. The misunderstandings, barriers and marriage breakdown between them were just a trick of fate. He had never misjudged her, she had never changed, and he could change it too.
He dismissed the harem for her, and now even the last cancer has been eliminated, and their overwhelming love has never really ended.
Even if she never looks back, he can still hold on to this touch and memory for the rest of his life, because he is still the innocent man who is infatuated with her and crazy about love, not a complete failure.
He and Xiao Qiongyu are the same kind of people, they are a perfect match. His heart is not worthy of Ayun at all.
I used to have a standard for love. I thought that being able to die for the one you loved would be considered true love.
Li Longyou meets this standard.
But it wasn't until I read the entire novel that I discovered that I had seriously overlooked his cold core. He was shameless, predatory, extremely self-interested, and exclusive.
Beneath his fiery exterior is a cold and hard heart.
Opposite him is Gao Cen, whose love is truly warm, from the inside out. Even if you know you can't get it, you will still wait and pay silently. As long as the person you love is safe and happy, even if you die, you will not be a burden to her.
And Li Longyou's dedication has nothing to do with selflessness. He has always been for gain, and the more he doesn't get, the less he will let go. Therefore, the gentleman's principles of propriety, justice, integrity, self-discipline and caution are completely contrary to his values.
This finally solves my long-standing confusion as to why Li Longyou, who was originally a person who treated his brothers with utmost sincerity, unleashed such strong disdain and viciousness towards Gao Cen. Because, he
Ending, I read a lot of things in this article, but I didn't read it from the beginning. I started reading it from the part where the male protagonist took the male protagonist back from overseas. So I have a strong sense of bee, and I swear by it without thinking of the opposite. On the contrary, if you don't think about it, that's enough! But the heroine breaks free from the unspeakable ending of being a woman. She has a sober and independent soul, and the author's portrayal is not like finding a little wolfdog right away like ordinary novels. The heroine has been heartbroken for the hero, and has been sad and confused about love and marriage. She is thinking about why women fall into such a predicament, and why only women are like this in this world! She was also grieving for the deceased and confused about the past. At this time, Wang Shiyi appeared. Together with her, he gradually understood that the past cannot be traced back, and there is no need to dwell on it, as there is still a future. Wang Shiyi truly understands her, respects her, and loves her soul. This is something that the male protagonist cannot do, and the male protagonist knows until his death that he will never get back together with the female protagonist, because no matter how many times he comes back, he will still make the same choice. He has never truly understood that the female protagonist respects her, and they will never truly grow old together. Once the novelty wears off, he will still look for new excitement. This article also contains more potential things about women being oppressed by feudal patriarchy and patriarchy. That sentence is not that I am facing him, but that the world is facing him. It really makes me sad! In the end, it was quite a fairy tale. The male protagonist changed his mind after losing the Western Expedition and agreed to make peace. The female protagonist faked her death and left Luoyang to be with her lover. How wonderful! When the heroine cried and took away the white jade pendant she gave to the hero, it seemed to me that the story of the two of them had completely ended, and there was no need to see each other again in this life. The image was so strong at that moment that I really shed tears. The more than ten years of staying together and the more than twenty years of acquaintance all disappeared like clouds of smoke. There were no regrets, and there was no fate.
The heroine's thoughts and conversations about women's life, marriage, family, and children are rarely discussed in ancient Chinese novels. This is what I find particularly eye-catching. The awakening consciousness of these women is common to ancient and modern times. I am very grateful to the author for giving me a be that makes me sad and happy. In the end, Wang Shiyi and Ayun were given a life-and-death relationship. They will grow old in the mountains and forests and be buried together in a cypress coffin. Let's meet each other soon in the next life.
Long Commentary 2 of "Spring General Lan"
About cheating About BE
In fact, in the article on the two-person relationship route, I have already analyzed why Cui Lingyun and Li Longyou ended up like that.
It seems that cheating was the trigger.
When the matter came to light, Li Longyou felt shameless because she was blocked at the door, and she felt that she was at fault for stealing someone while hiding her illness. He suppressed the huge fear and sense of loss of control, covering his face with innocence and arrogance. He jumped over the wall and beat her hard, as if this could transform his shame into her shame. However, he didn't feel that he had changed his mind at all, let alone that he was wrong, so he didn't feel guilty at all.
If he really realized his mistake, he should have sobered up the moment he was hiding in the cave, turned back immediately, stepped back from the brink, and went to Ayun to confess instead of continuing to cheat. This is of course because he has no face to see Ayun and wants to postpone the imaginary embarrassing scene until the last second, but it is also because of the selfish and despicable sexual psychology of men. Even if he is discovered, even if he dies in the next second, he still has to enjoy it to the end.
At the moment when he was most happy, he had completely forgotten about his lonely, sick and weak wife. All the emotions such as guilt, embarrassment, sadness and regret after the happiness were not worth mentioning at this moment.
Therefore, in the sequel to My Underworld, Xiao Qiongyu said that he hoped that Ayun would fulfill His Majesty's affection until death. This thought probably flashed through Li Longyou's heart even he would not admit. This is the dark side of human nature. Ayun is no longer young and beautiful, cold as an iceberg, and insane. He knows that she loves him, but he also knows that she hates him, not to mention that he himself has many unknown feelings of debt to her that torture his soul all the time. When he encountered the charm that made him unbearable, and the gentle town that allowed him to indulge his body and mind without any pressure, they were different from A Yun. They were afraid of him, obeyed him unconditionally, satisfied him, and clung to him. And he has realized that he is also an ordinary man who can't control his belt. There is probably no fundamental difference between him and other men in the world, and Ayun's ex-husband Xiao Baozhang. Perhaps he is also afraid that he will really change his heart soon. So if Ayun dies at the last moment when he loves her most, he will stop at the most beautiful moment of the affectionate emperor's eternity. Even if he loses her, he will still have her until his death.
Like the new and hate the old, like the light and dislike the heavy, Li Longyou thought this way, then of course he would show it when he was completely relaxed physically and mentally. Of course Xiao Qiongyu could understand it, after all, everyone is not a fool.
When sending out the red sweat towel,
Ayun said: "Remind you to keep your belt tight and don't let others loosen it easily."
Li Longyou laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight, and promised again and again: "I will take care of myself. No one can solve it except you."
And when A Yun discovers his cheating, he catches the red sweat scarf. This is a wonderful foreshadowing laid by the original author Qing Huanman, and it is also a cruel satire on human nature.
Li Longyou cheats even more despicably than ordinary men. He wanted to break off the engagement for Xiao Qiongyu, and the compensation was to get married with his son, but he pretended to be embarrassed and forced Ayun, who was already exhausted, to make choices and decisions. He asked Ayun to be the bad guy, the villain, while he hid behind the two women and got everything he wanted with a smile. In my opinion, this is the most disgusting part of the whole cheating. At this time, his cherishment and softness have been almost exhausted, and his dissatisfaction, his arrogance, and his indifference are extreme. It unreservedly exposed the dark side of Li Longyou's character. He is hot on the outside but cold on the inside, selfish, heartless, cruel and shameless, despicable and nasty. His children, his women, his lover, everyone is his ants, and they are all tools for him to use and play with.
So A Yun lamented, why did God only leave his bad side, but completely wiped out the sunny boy he once was.
No one is born a bad person, but Li Longyou turned himself into this person step by step and is proud of it, so he is born to be a cold evil star and an emperor's destiny.
I have to say that it was unusual for him to not take the road of robbery. One reason was that he was conceited enough, and he rose to great heights without any dangers along the way. He was also used to lawlessness by A Yun and the people around him. The other reason was that he died early enough. After death, nothing can be done.
So, after one party cheats, is everything really irreversible? In fact, it is not necessarily true. Even the overwhelming number of pure love war gods on the Internet cannot hide the truth of life, which is that most couples have endured this kind of pain. After tearing it apart, they swallowed it silently with blood, and then pretended it with a smile. Some have tortured each other since then, some have ended cleanly, and some have turned back.
If Li Longyou can truly realize what kind of harm his actions have brought to Ayun, and can truly realize that he has done something wrong, coupled with his shamelessness and sweet entanglement, then I think they still have a chance, because even if Ayun is alive and transparent, she Her love is real and unforgettable. The weight of Li Longyou in her heart is not comparable to that of Pei Xing, Xiao Baozhang, Gao Cen or any other man. She is heartbroken, disappointed, and hateful, but she is also in pain and helpless. No one in this world can be truly 100% rational.
However, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. This is the reason why it is impossible for the two of them to have another ending.
Li Longyou is a character who moves forward bravely and never looks back. What he cares about is the future. Reflecting on the past is meaningless to him, or thinking about this matter is not important to him, so after he does anything, what he thinks about is always the next step, rather than looking back and missing the past. For him, the oath was something he remembered when he was passionate, something he made sincerely, but it would never truly constrain him.
And Ayun is a person who thinks all the time, so she will be tied down by the past and will be brooding about what has happened.
Li Longyou thought too little, so he became more and more confused and stubborn, constantly compromising with himself.
Cui Lingyun thinks too much, so she becomes more and more sober, more determined, and constantly compromises with the truth.
A concluding sentence in the original work has made everything very clear, "The soul will not be recognized in life, and the body will not be recognized in death."
The ancients have summarized the Chinese people's simple values on life and death in eight simple words. If a person cannot correctly understand his true heart when he is alive, then his soul will not know his true self after death.
Li Longyou himself didn't know who he was, and he never made an effort to recognize it. Ayun's understanding of what it means to be a human being and what it means to be a woman is something she understands all the time in her life journey.
Ayun is sober in the world, and she realizes the fundamental difference between the two, so even if she loves her again, she has to let go.
Li Longyou is a person with a strong sense of sensitivity. Although he knew that Ayun would not accept it before the affair, he wanted to do something and he would do it. After the affair, he deceived as always and couldn't hide it anymore. He also hoped that Ayun would accept the incident like him, suffer a lot, and then turn around.
His biggest problem is that, given his status and virtue, he is overconfident and thinks he is always right. And after what happened, the person who should follow his footsteps and make changes was not him, but Ayun. She only needed to take a small step back, and they could still continue to go hand in hand, or even go further. So from the heart, although he admitted that he was a bastard, and even acted badly, he was waiting for the wise Ayun to figure it out on his own, and then be kind and soft-hearted, and then give in generously.
When the fetus was returned to the womb, a careless person like him, who didn't value the child, was heartbroken. In fact, it was because he was shocked by Ayun's bottom line and tenacity, and was shocked by his own confusion.
However, this still does not allow him to reflect fundamentally, because reflecting on the matter itself is confusing, painful, and torturous. Li Longyou never wants to let himself fall into this kind of pain that often has no solution at all. He turned his ignorant pain into hatred, and his hatred for Ayun was determined not to take a step back, destroying the only remaining possibility for both of them to have hope. He still doesn't understand that the possibility of them is not children, but when he recognizes his own heart and when he recognizes Ayun's heart, and he has never really tried hard to understand and embrace Ayun's heart.
He couldn't figure out where things were going wrong, and was struggling in this extreme dilemma, anger, and despair. With hatred that he had nowhere to vent, he instigated Xiao Qiongyu to hold the child and make trouble. He wanted her to suffer with him and let her share this pain and embarrassment. However, he did not achieve the purpose he wanted, so he became even more resentful. He was like a trapped animal in a cage with no way out.
He lost his love for each other, and could no longer understand each other, and could not even cherish each other.
So he did what he did best: be callous and muddle along. What to do with the pain? Then forget the pain, hide all the fear, do your best to make yourself happy, sleep with other women as much as you want, fight heartily on the battlefield, enjoy the power and honor of the emperor, and find other ways to satisfy yourself if A Yun, a woman, cannot satisfy you.
Then, is he happy? He is happy, but unintentional happiness is short-lived and empty. He can have countless women, but he only has one heart, which he has personally given to Ayun in the dazzling love and confusion of the years. But it doesn't matter. As long as Ayun is still his queen, his heart is still in the palm of his hand. As long as she is still attached to him, his heart is safe and he can find it at any time.
But when he climbed the wall and saw A Yun and the energetic young man, he was shocked again, because he found that his heart had been thrown to the ground long ago, and he could no longer pick it up. This was the moment that really crushed him. He still didn't understand why he had reached this point, but he recognized the reality that everything in the world was not controlled by the emperor.
He couldn't get up, so what to do with the emptiness in his chest and his endless pain? Maybe he was wrong before, so he found a way to make up for it. He dismissed the harem, he sent He Lishu away, he escaped for a short time, Ayun didn't retreat, he retreated, he thought this was the way to solve the problem.
However, this does not relieve his pain, because his retreat is just a disguise, not to really liberate her and himself, but to take advantage of her unpreparedness to go one step further and push his pain into her, and then, like in the past, once again transform the pain of the two into a deeper love. He couldn't understand, so he tied her to him and let her think, digest, and let go. He didn't understand that it was him who needed to be relieved.
Li Longyou is a person who only practices and does not think. He scorns the wisdom of others or the advice of wise men. Almost all of his experience comes from the traces he and she have walked along the way, and these traces have been turned a blind eye and ruthlessly abandoned by him. He just wants to keep his head high and continue to stride forward, thinking that the future will always be better. However, what he thought was progress was actually stuck in the same place. He never thought about how to behave and how to become a better person.
And Ayun is a person wrapped in history and classics. She never stops learning and making progress. She has the love and hatred of countless predecessors as her reference, and every scar left by her wandering life as her understanding, so she is never blindly confident. Her caution is due to her wisdom, and also because she has lacked a sense of security since she was a child. She knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and protect herself. So when Li Longyou walked all the way to darkness, Ayun was not willing to fall off the cliff with him, so she turned around decisively and went to a bright place. Even if her heart and bones were cut open and her flesh and blood were blurred, she still had to cut them off.
She knew that she couldn't save him, and no one could save anyone. People can only save themselves.
Li Longyou waited for Ayun in the underworld, but finally chose to lose his mind because he still didn't understand, so he resisted thinking and gave up to understand, but he knew clearly that he had reached a desperate situation, and the only person who could save him would not take action again.
However, he is still the same person, he refuses to beat around the bush, he wants to destroy himself in front of her with his own hands, telling her how much he hates her and how much he loves her.
In the final analysis, Li Longyou, as a man and as a human being, has never changed because he refuses to change.
I want to believe that there is one thing that he refused to change until the end: he loved her, even if it was not because of love, but because of unwillingness and stubbornness.
But what exactly love is, who can say clearly.
Only one thing is true: love is complicated, and people who fall in love are cute, hateful and pitiful.
Two people can't see each other clearly, but they love each other.
I think this is why this novel made me so sad.
The author writes so well, and I like the ending very much. The male protagonist is really hateful, extremely cruel and ruthless. I don't want to jump back to see the pain and struggle of the female protagonist. I don't want to see the sweetness between her and the male protagonist, and I don't want to be severely abused. The male protagonist is not worthy of the love he has received from the female protagonist. He deserves this end, tit for tat.
I'm more inclined to think that he is too old and can't stand it anymore, rather than sincerely repenting.
Halfway through I couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I skipped to the scene where the male protagonist cheated on me and started watching. The more I watched, the sadder I became. Why can't I recognize the high-spirited young man in my memory? It turns out that deep love at a young age can also lead to disgust at the same time. The love between ancient and modern times is actually the same. How can we be together if we are cold and indifferent?
Love this novel so much. I gave you a brief overview of the emotional timeline of Cui and Li, as if you were following them through their ups and downs again.

Long comment one:
Cui Lingyun was the queen of two dynasties, and Li Longyou usurped the throne and ushered in a prosperous age.
The lives of two people are vigorous, and of course their love is also vigorous.
No matter what the ending is, Li Longyou is a fanatical young man who goes through fire and water for his lover and sacrifices his life many times. This is a sentiment worthy of admiration and touching.
The original author's writing style is subtle, and many subtle details are hidden in the events.
In fact, if you spread out the timeline and take a closer look, it is not difficult to see that the gap between the two has been there from the beginning and has never been broken. It does not disappear because of any famous scene of sincerity and eternal alliance.
Li Longyou was not 100% passionate as he thought. He had a combination of love and use from the beginning, and based on his moral standards, he believed that this was not a problem at all. But he also understood that it was unacceptable in Ayun's eyes, and he easily made the choice to hide it. He was betrayed by his family since he was a child and never considered cheating to be a big deal.
Li Longyou is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals, which includes getting the woman he loves. In order to get it, he will give everything, including his own sincerity.
This also means that once he wants something else, he will not hesitate to change the target.
He keeps running and never stops, so he will never be satisfied and will always be enthusiastic and high-spirited. I have to say that this is also the charm of him.
The original work also often mentions a sentence, one's deeds do not matter one's heart. This can also explain why A Yun said many times that Li Longyou was not a human being. When the two broke up, Li Longyou also admitted it personally. Li Longyou has a low limit and has no ethical baggage, but because he loves Cui Lingyun, he deliberately restrains or avoids hiding. But A Yun is not this kind of person in essence, and the two do not understand each other on this fundamental issue.
Even if the two finally fell out, Li Longyou never really felt that he was at fault. His regret was finally realized after many years of thinking in hell.
Li Longyou was almost raped and killed by a female assassin before she met A Yun, so she has a deep-rooted grudge against women. He met A Yun, who was like a heavenly being, and then fell into love. He remained loyal until the age of thirty-six. Even if it was mixed with vanity, self-confidence, possessiveness and guilt, it was undeniable that he was serious and determined for this love.
However, as time goes by, holding the world in hand, mutual dissatisfaction becomes more and more serious, the two hearts are separated, and they get along less and less, and Ayun has a gloomy appearance and a violent temper. He has more or less the idea that "women are actually just like that", and his mind is no longer bound by the female assassin or Ayun. He even feels that hanging on a woman may not be an honor of steadfastness, but a sign that a man is not smart, capable, or even humble and cowardly. Just one year after he ascended the throne, his original intention was already unstable. He doubted A Yun and also doubted himself.
Therefore, when he cheated, I believe his hesitation was only for a moment. Between the temptation of the enchanting young man outside and the sick and crazy yellow-faced woman at home, he followed the nature of a man.
The identity of Xiao Qiongyu's niece only stimulates him, not hinders him. Moreover, she is the daughter of Ayun's former man, and he regards her as a trophy for ascending to the throne.
Moreover, Xiao Qiongyu and he had similar personalities and matching temperaments. They should have spiritual resonance, and Li Longyou gained understanding and recognition from her. Not only did he vent A Yun's unsatisfied desire, but he also gained a different pleasure from getting along with A Yun's men and women. This made him feel more and more that it was because he had experienced too few women that he was completely devoted to A Yun. Although his love with Xiao Qiongyu is not as unforgettable as Ayun's, it is only about pure joy and enjoyment, without complicated entanglements and pains. Based on this, the selfish him will never give up voluntarily unless necessary.
He has become accustomed to tit-for-tat and noisy situations with A-Yun, thinking that this is the way they are accustomed to getting along and even their unique taste. It has always been like this. He only needs to pretend to be crazy and coax with tenderness as always, and A-Yun will regress. The two of them will still be reconciled as before, and he will not only retain his love with A-Yun, but also get more of what he wants.
Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he resented Ayun for not having his wholehearted enthusiasm and for having other men in his heart. Therefore, this was also a kind of revenge for being a man and thinking that he did not receive an equal response.
After the two broke up, he did not retain her again and allowed Ayun to leave the palace.
On his side, he thought that the big issue would be reduced to a trivial matter and Ayun would come back to him. On the other hand, he felt uneasy in his heart. This was because he had never been able to grasp Ayun's true character and bottom line.
But he just turned this uneasiness into more doubts about why he had a deep love for Ayun. He thought that maybe it was just that he couldn't see the love between men and women when he was young and ignorant.
For a person like him, when he had an idea, it was impossible not to give it a try, so he allowed himself to go on the road that deviated from A Yun, waiting for A Yun to turn around and waiting for when he would completely let go of A Yun.
But he misestimated Ayun and himself. He misestimated the power of time and habits.
Only when you are young and experience love for the first time will you risk your life for love.
He thought that he could do anything when he became the emperor, forgetting that this also meant that he was no longer a young man who was young and energetic, and he could taste the beauty of sex. But for love, he actually no longer had the energy to come back, let alone live and die for the second woman. He had given all his passion and true love to A Yun, and what he gained from this was the only and most beautiful thing he could have. Once lost, he would later realize that the pain and emptiness would be endless. He gave up the years he had passed, the contributions of others and himself, and he personally gave up the most important part of his life, denying Ayun and himself.
And the disputes between the women in the harem, the betrayal of the old heroes, the defeat on the battlefield that was once unbeatable, and being ignored in the court, all these really hit him in the face, forcing him to gradually wake up, and he overestimated himself.
He is a heartless, muddled-through person who always finds a way to continue no matter where he goes.
He left Beijing to escape, gave A-Yun and Li Shu, dismissed the harem, and traveled east to follow the path A-Yun had taken. These were all his usual methods. He and A-Yun had had too many experiences where separation was better than a wedding. He firmly believed that as long as A-Yun was still under his nose, he would try his best to get what he wanted again.
A person like him will never retreat throughout his life until his energy is exhausted and the only way out is death.
After reading the revised chapters with added details, I can only sigh: the male protagonist didn't understand where he went wrong until he died. He really had no connection with A Yun, and Wang Lang was the one who was the best match for A Yun. The male protagonist should stay in the underworld to see the perfect encounter that he and Xiao Qiongyu created for A Yun and Wang Lang. Hahaha, the extra story must let him know about it. There is nothing more heart-wrenching than this. Hehe.
Before going to bed, I suddenly remembered the ancient popular CP Shixing and Shisao, and found that Xuan Lang and He Yi in "Feng Lang" perfectly matched the Ten Xings:
Fortunately, we meet at the right time (we meet when we grow up, and our relationship will naturally fall into place)
Two lucky childhood sweethearts, (he was involved in her entire childhood, the only child in the village, and echoed the subsequent dependence on each other, giving her a full sense of destiny)
Three lucky confidants with white hair, (He Yi is as wise as a fool and is the only one who can understand Xuan Lang's inner thoughts. Similarly, Xuan Lang also understands all her little thoughts)
The four lucky prosperous times are peace and abandonment of soldiers, (thank you scum dad for bringing peace to the world)
Wu Xing laughed and scolded her together (she was making trouble, he was laughing, he looks upright and serious, but he will stand by her unconditionally)
Six lucky ones hold hands and return home, (cultivating the right path, having children)
Qi Xing looked at each other and there was no need to answer. (When Xuan Lang was working, He Yi was either reading or practicing calligraphy or playing by himself. There was no need to say anything and it would not be embarrassing)
Hachiko is still concerned about meeting him again after a long absence. (She has forgotten him after not seeing him for many years, but when he moved to a new house, he prepared a small building for her, decorated it like her boudoir, and remembers her birthday every year)
Fortunately, I have a good marriage in this life, (get married together, have children, and be happy)
Fortunately, in times of crisis, everyone dispersed, looking back to look at him. (When he mistakenly thought A Yun was dead, his dreams for many years came to nothing, he felt abandoned by the whole world, and was about to give up on himself, it was He Yi who aroused his will to live. After he gave up his wish, she was already the most important person in his heart and irreplaceable)
As for the Ten Abuses, the parents in "Chun Jiang Lan" simply hit the mark in every aspect.
A beautiful woman in her twilight years, (Ayun was no longer young before she left the palace. She was once a stunning beauty who could make rebellious ministers and traitors suspend their rebellion)
The second child is confused about love and hate, (I'm talking about you, Li Longyou, the transformation from a dragon-slaying boy to an evil dragon makes me so sad)
The three-year-old confidants became strangers. (The young couple also had a similar mind. He was willing to risk everything in the world to marry her. She was sensitive, indifferent and cold, and was willing to put down her guard to trust and accept him.)
The four abuses destroyed the country and destroyed the family. Ten thousand bones were withered. (The old dynasty fell, Ayun lost the country and the family, and had no qualifications to compete with fate. He could only live in exile and was forced to accept it.)
The five cruelties parted in life and death, (Gao Cen, my feelings are hard to reconcile, and Wan Miao, one prompted her to resolutely leave the palace, the other prompted her to leave Luoyang, and the sweet fiancé in the lines, an innocent victim of power)
The kindness and kindness of Liushu are gone. (The night the couple broke up, from that day on, Li Longyou in Ayun's heart died)
Qi Shu seeks but does not suffer. (Li Longyou, she never understood love until her death. She regretted it after losing it but didn't know how to get it back. All the efforts she made were hurt to her)
Ba Sha lost and recovered and finally hesitated (in the middle, A Yun abandoned the young Xuan Lang, the couple reunited, started a career together, briefly let go of the knot, and wanted to get back together, but it was difficult to mend the broken mirror, and the rift eventually became wider and wider)
Jiu Shu had a weak relationship (she was the empress of the former dynasty who was walking on thin ice, and he was an ambitious and rebellious traitor. No matter what, it was impossible to marry. But true love can conquer mountains and fill seas, and later they finally got married legitimately, but they did not live happily for a long time and they went their separate ways. One fought in the north and south, and the other was a hostage in precarious life. They reunited many years later, and the beauty was just a flash in the pan)
After ten years of abuse, everyone is like the shadow of the king, but the way is still not as good as before. (Li Longyou didn't find a substitute, but he and Mei Ji were able to resolve their feud, and his granddaughter played a major role. He felt that the child looked like A Yun, but it didn't matter whether he looked like him or not. The child had A Yun's blood in his body, and this complex was enough to touch him. He indulged Xuan Lang, part of The reason is that he looks like his mother. Maybe he has a guilty conscience, so he has a very strange attitude towards Xuanlang. He talks about love and rubs her hard, and Mei Ji can't stand it anymore, but she cultivates him as his successor and is willing to entrust him with her authority.)
Ahhhhhhhh! It's over! Sprinkle flowers on Da Da!
After reading the full text, I not only admired the author's writing style, but also felt emotional about the whole story. The four characters "Lanyin and Xuguo" are vividly reflected in Ayun and Gouzi. The beauty of youth and the sadness of middle age are all described very vividly, which made me follow Ayun and feel her life. It cannot be said that Er Gouzi does not love A Yun, but it cannot be said that Er Gouzi loves A Yun. The whole story is not complicated, but it makes me feel very realistic.
I see that the original copy has been revised several times, but I still remember the original intention of the author of the original version: "A woman should be herself first, and then her wife and mother" (it seems to mean this). I really, really like this sentence, and I am particularly touched that the author persisted in writing this story and told us this original intention.
Every character is vivid and vivid, and every plot is reasonable. From heartbeat to hatred, how the story develops step by step is very realistic. But I'm really happy. The author finally gave Ayun a very happy ending, allowing her to finally get out of the pain and live out her life!
Thank you so much for bringing us such great works! Finished spreading flowers!
(PS: Move the bench obediently and wait for the next big book hehehe)
Long Comment 3: The Core of Li Longyou's Tragedy After reading Xuan Lang's follow-up article, I can see that the tragic core of Cui and Li continues, and the next generation has suffered all the hardships in life for the grudges of the previous generation. After Li Longyou lost his aura as the male protagonist, he lost even more charm, almost disappearing from everyone, and became the most worldly and violent king. In his own words, he became a failed general, a failed king, a failed husband, a failed father, and a failed man. He attributed all this failure to A Yun's cold treatment. He went to Rouyi Palace to knock on the door every night, feeling disappointed and resentful in his heart. But in fact, he not only hoped that she would open the door, but also hoped that she would shut him out. In this way, when he turned to look for Xiao Qiongyu, his psychological burden was suddenly relieved. He even expected that when everything broke out, he would throw this perfect excuse on her face and tell her that she was the one who was in the wrong and she had personally pushed him to another woman. He couldn't wait to see her expression of shame, regret, sadness, helplessness, and pain. He had forgotten all about her frail body and haggard mind. At this time, his cold-blooded and despicable core was undoubtedly exposed. Later, he went to Cuiyuan again and again to knock on the door, but the door was no longer open to him. He once had the most successful life in the world, the best woman, and the best child, but he didn't know it and thought it was nothing more than that. He didn't believe in evil, and he wanted to taste what it was like to be a female assassin back then. He tasted it, and then found that it was nothing more than that. He was very proud, thinking that he finally understood women. He felt that Ayun was never grateful and never knew how to repay his infatuation, so he fully enjoyed the gratitude of the subjugated princess. Then he not only tasted the feeling of ecstasy and smoothness inside and outside, but also tasted the feeling of his wife and children being separated, and his family being destroyed. In fact, most men simply cannot resist femme fatales, and they are always confident that their methods are just tricks to suppress ordinary women. Women who are green tea or venomous will eventually be conquered by them. This principle is the same as a woman always feeling that she will be the last stop for a romantic man. In fact, the outcome is often overestimation of one's capabilities and self-humiliation. These men happily cooperate with the femme fatale's scheme and treat them as prey. They pretend to be addicted, sneer and indulge. They understand everything in their hearts, throw out small favors and favors, and even put their faces on the beauty to achieve their goals. You can let them play with you at your feet, making the beauty smile, but what you actually want in your mind is that one day in the future, you must let these slutty bitches kneel and lick at your feet. This is not only the stimulation of sex, but also the enjoyment of rights. Almost no man will take the initiative to refuse. After being arrogant and submissive, they thought they had their hearts in their hands, so they treated them as their own property, played with them, humiliated them at will, showed off to other men, and then abandoned them ruthlessly, or moved on to the next conquest, or turned around to find their original spouse, earning the reputation of a prodigal son who regards beauty as clothes. Even just thinking about such a story makes a man's heart tremble. But the reality is that once they step into the spider web, the toxins will slowly enter their bodies, and they will be completely eaten away from body to heart, leaving them no longer able to resist. Around them, those who are truly worthy but have been let down are either implicated or far away from them. These people who believe in being unique and insist on challenging the impossible have all kinds of strange endings, but without exception, they all live their lives in a way that they hate. As a result, the final awakening and regret are extremely ridiculous. This is a bloody emotional tragedy and a clumsy farce of life. In this sense, femme fatales are indeed much more lethal to men than women from good families. As the saying goes, fight poison with poison, one thing will be sacrificed, and all debts will be repaid. Li Longyou, a bohemian and freedom-loving person, coupled with the blessing of the imperial power, simply did whatever he wanted and was lawless. This is equivalent to giving countless death-free gold medals to people who like to seek death. No matter what he does, he will have the entire court and the entire world to back him up. This is because he has become the face of the world, and courtiers need a good emperor. He has always been a willful emperor, but in fact he is also extremely willful emotionally. He lost his mother when he was young, and had a grudge against a female assassin, so he didn't understand women at all. However, he was struck by great luck. When he tried love for the first time, he met the perfect partner of body and mind. But he thought this was destined and should belong to him, so he went all out and used all means to get her into his hands. He simply didn't understand that in this relationship that he thought he was the only one chasing after, Ayun had been covering it up for him. As early as when he wanted to revitalize his family, feel proud, and want to marry into the Wang family, she had gradually seen his true nature, but she never gave up on him, and she was obsessed with him. She had nothing but hope that he would keep his promise. Before meeting him, she had already tasted the love between men and women, and knew the complexity and fragility of human hearts. His method of exchanging feelings with other people, which threatened to be bound by interests, was simply dismissed by Ayun. She chose to be with him because she bet her little true love on it, and she was willing to make this huge gamble with him that the world regarded as innocent and foolish. The orchids and the fruits are always together and finally apart. They could have reunited and dispersed, and lived in peace, but how could Li Longyou be willing to do so? He openly and secretly forced Ayun to do it his way. He not only wanted her to love him unreservedly like other people's wives, but also wanted her to submit to him like a citizen of the world. So the cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and the ending is tragic. But no matter how many cracks there were, Li Longyou would still hold on to her. Even if it would destroy her, she would still be destroyed in his hands. And when the first crack appeared, Ayun's cold heart was already ready to pull away at any time. So Ayun said to Li Longyou, you and I can't be husband and wife in this life, nor can we be passers-by, but sworn enemies. His love for her is unstoppable, his resentment is overwhelming, and his hatred is deep-rooted. And she didn't want to put her love and hate on this man anymore. She put down all her love and completely forgot about it. She wanted to leave him truly and forever. There is no feeling of love and hate, only the calculation of grudges. In the name of love, he has caused humiliation, harm, and persecution to her. Not even an enemy can do these things. What exactly makes a man decide to cheat on his wife even though he and his wife love each other deeply and she trusts him so much, yet he still enjoys it? I find it difficult to explain this, other than to say that there is something really wrong with this relationship. When a man's love and desire cannot be satisfied at the same time, his original intention and persistence will definitely change. It is true that a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, but a man's heart is also like a cloud in the wind, changing rapidly and not bound by any emotion. Of course, it's still the same saying, "It's not about the heart but the deeds." It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to actually do it. He used Ayun's trust as a weapon to backhand stab her. Not only was he sorry for the love she gave him, but he also trampled on her personal dignity and humiliated her. Two people who love each other deeply cannot openly say or do this kind of power game. It is too hurtful and not in line with human nature. So Li Longyou secretly did it in a despicable way. He knew that things would become stalemate, but deep down in his heart, his arrogance and coldness supported him. He wanted to tell her that he relied on her love, trust and dependence on him. He was angry, retaliating against her, and forcing her to recognize that he was not only her husband, but also her king. At this time, he had already forgotten that what he originally loved was her Qing Gu who would rather break than bend. And his methods and actions are extremely vulgar and disgusting in Ayun's three views. She once again recognized his heartless core. He was ruthless and cruel to others, and he would certainly be the same to her one day. Although Li Longyou saved her with his life many times and gave her a vigorous and unparalleled love, Ayun was always trapped by current events and worldly affairs and had to rely on him. But there is still no doubt that she is the absolute dominant party and the one in control in this love struggle, because she is too clear-headed and he is too confused. She recognized early on the necessity of being an independent individual. Before being someone's wife or someone's mother, she must first be herself in order to stand in the world. As early as when her father took her back to the family and was forced into Xiao Baozhang's harem, she had already seen through the cold-blooded ruthlessness beneath the sanctimony of powerful men and emperors. No matter how good a man is, he will become greedy, selfish and cowardly when he is in a high position, while women are just accessories and appearances, no essential difference from ants in the world, and the queen is no exception. Although she has also made up her mind, for the sake of her own heart and love, she is willing to give Li Longyou a try, go forward side by side, and go upstream together. For their future, she will not back down when she needs to be brave. But when she discovered that the situation is easy to change, the nature is hard to change, and Li Longyou really abandoned their vows, she was not without shock. At the same time, the thread of trust and persistence instantly collapsed in the long-standing contradiction. She realized that there was no essential difference between Li Longyou and those men. This was a trait given to them by the patriarchal society, and she was indeed an enemy of the secular people. Even Li Longyou's badness is even more terrifying, because his ruthlessness is disguised as affection, and his shamelessness is disguised as love. She had no other choice. Either she would be tortured to death by him and the world, and die in depression, or she could cut it off and perhaps be reborn. Of course, Li Longyou would not reflect on his mistakes. He only felt that he was just following destiny, not to mention that he had never changed his mind. He was just curious and wanted to experience some new things that an emperor deserved. And Ayun, who was destined to be with him for life, should be waiting for him where he was. When he tasted it and got tired of it, he would come back, love her even more, and make up for her twice. But he didn't understand that if Ayun was such a woman, how could he fall in love with her in the first place. If Li Longyou learns that Ayun is actually the one who was born, and that he became the emperor, it is just a blessing. When she leaves, the emperor's star will gradually weaken and eventually wither. I am afraid he will understand more clearly why he is a failed husband and a failed king. However, compared to these two identities, he failed even more as a father. In fact, he doesn't care about the children at all, including Ayunsheng's Meiji and Xuanlang. When he was young, he didn't even think that bloodline inheritance was an important thing. Instead, he complained that because of having children, Ayun was trapped by motherhood, and his wife was divided into half. He does not have natural fatherly love, which is deeply related to the fact that he himself has not received the fatherly love he deserves. Even though he was urged by A Yun to get close to his children, he always regarded them as subordinate appendages. He could give them glory and wealth at will, but he was stingy with rare feelings and was only willing to give them to the woman he truly loved. Children can sacrifice themselves for his great cause at any time, even if it is a major matter of marriage, it is only a part of his calculations and trade-offs. Even after he became the emperor and the head of a country, he didn't really think how important it was to spread the branches and leaves. His original intention of establishing the harem was never for heirs, but to satisfy his own desires and wildness. Unlike a successful emperor, for him who failed, the country was his home, and state affairs were just his family affairs. He was confident that he had the power alone. Even if he lost his son, he could still adopt a descendant and inherit the great cause. The generations after his death should never affect his free and unrestrained life. Of course, the premise of all this is that the most important person in his heart, his wife, his queen, is always by his side. He didn't know how to raise children, but their mother did. And when she left him decisively, the child was completely reduced to a bargaining chip. As for the lump of flesh and blood lying in the Ganoderma lucidum pool, it is also a bargaining chip. I have already elaborated on this in the second long comment. Whether Li Longyou treats them well or not, it is all to force his wife to change her mind, and the family affection of Ladu must also give in to his great love. He wanted her to regret her heartless decision to abandon her husband and son. Of course, Meggie was a little different to him, but it wasn't because she was their first child, or just because she was with him for a long time, but because she was his second self. Meiji is uninhibited and cynical. He not only loves her among his own flesh and blood, but also appreciates her from his peers. He also knew that Mei Ji was domineering, vicious and ambitious hidden under her obedient flattery, but he could easily tolerate it. This was just like Tang Seng did to Bajie. People are always easy to tolerate and accept the evil in their hearts. Mei Ji's evil made him feel less lonely. And Xuanlang is the second her. The deep-seated hatred he felt for her that could not be revealed to the world finally found its way. His dissatisfaction with Xuanlang existed as early as when he took away Ayun's heart when he was just born. It deepened when he ordered Xuanlang to be a hostage and Ayun was determined to protect him and abandon him and Mei Ji. And the father and son finally reunited after years of separation, but they became almost strangers. Just as A Yun and Mei Ji were separated as mother and daughter, he and Xuan Lang were also separated as father and son. The swaddled baby in his memory has turned into a man who will eventually replace him and naturally obtain everything he created. He instinctively felt dissatisfied and unwilling to be coveted for the territory, but he was sure of Xuanlang's weight in Ayun's heart, so he used his son as a bait for him to be happy and angry, far and near. He was never willing to give up, and waited until Xuanlang was crowned the crown prince, then he finally understood that Xuanlang had also lost value in this secret contest between him and her, and that person would never look back again, so he no longer concealed his overwhelming resentment towards him and her. However, underneath this resentment, what was buried deepest in Li Longyou's heart was actually extreme jealousy. He was jealous that Xuan Lang was as brilliant and magnanimous as she was. He could easily win the hearts of the world with just a benevolent heart and achieve something he would never be able to do. Their uprightness, wisdom and scheming, calmness and self-control are something that he, who is shameless and shameless, will never be able to match. It made him seem so unworthy of her. He didn't dare to choreograph his wife, but he could ridicule his son without any psychological burden. He withdrew all his love and care, and arbitrarily scolded Xuanlang for being hypocritical, pretentious, and alienating relatives at home and abroad. He wanted to suppress him with all his strength. While he was looking forward to breaking Xuan Lang's pride as soon as possible and truly begging for mercy from him, he was also eager for the person he had been waiting for to finally relent and come to his rescue. However, he knew that in this family game, he was single and weak, so he tied himself deeper to Mei Ji, even if this would lead to dangerous consequences of children killing each other and the country being in danger. He felt the same hatred that Mei Ji felt towards A Yun and Xuan Lang. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a tacit ally. A family that once loved each other has come to the point where they have turned against each other. After the final violent collision, there is no winner, and the sadness and sadness belong to everyone. As for Xiao Qiongyu's child, there is nothing to say. In Li Longyou's heart, I am afraid that this child is no different from the puppy that died in his hand. His sadness is not for the dead child at all, but for his own misery, loneliness and exhaustion. It can be said that the role of father is Li Longyou's worst role. However, after Fu Guang's death, Li Longyou recovered from his illness after discovering Xiao Qiongyu's true identity. He was no longer depressed and faint, and even had the intention to regain his strength. This also proved that his heart was different from ordinary people. Xiao Qiongyu directly caused the separation of his husband and wife, and even almost killed the father and his son, and the family was ruined. However, he was able to let go of her very quickly. This is really not what a normal man can do. Because he could finally attribute all his past mistakes to this woman, and he was just a man who was bewitched. Of course he would not let Xiao Qiongyu go, but instead of punishing her and reflecting on the past, he cared more about how to make himself feel better. He was happy that he finally found a suitable excuse to resolve his sins, because he felt that her evil made his evil very small, and he finally found a reason to live in peace and contentment. So it is logical to say that Li Longyou is not a normal man. A normal man would rather be scolded as a scumbag who cannot resist the temptation of beauty than admit that he is stupid for being played by a woman. Li Longyou's permanent knot and confusion was Cui Lingyun, a woman, not to mention that he never cared about reputation and morality, so after a brief moment of anger, he readily admitted that he had been fooled, because anger is also a kind of self-torture, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. He just misjudged the wrong person, so he failed his wife. Now he has repented, and he is still the tragic innocent emperor. He has almost no shame, and it would be an understatement to say that he has few strings. Of course, Xiao Qiongyu, the femme fatale, gave him a painful blow. It turned out that his years of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Ayun were all instigated by others. The person he loved was still the flawless person, and his actions that conquered the world for love were still so worthwhile. The misunderstandings, barriers and marriage breakdown between them were just a trick of fate. He had never misjudged her, she had never changed, and he could change it too. He dismissed the harem for her, and now even the last cancer has been eliminated, and their overwhelming love has never really ended. Even if she never looks back, he can still hold on to this touch and memory for the rest of his life, because he is still the innocent man who is infatuated with her and crazy about love, not a complete failure. He and Xiao Qiongyu are the same kind of people, they are a perfect match. His heart is not worthy of Ayun at all. I used to have a standard for love. I thought that being able to die for the one you loved would be considered true love. Li Longyou meets this standard. But it wasn't until I read the entire novel that I discovered that I had seriously overlooked his cold core. He was shameless, predatory, extremely self-interested, and exclusive. Beneath his fiery exterior is a cold and hard heart. Opposite him is Gao Cen, whose love is truly warm, from the inside out. Even if you know you can't get it, you will still wait and pay silently. As long as the person you love is safe and happy, even if you die, you will not be a burden to her. And Li Longyou's dedication has nothing to do with selflessness. He has always been for gain, and the more he doesn't get, the less he will let go. Therefore, the gentleman's principles of propriety, justice, integrity, self-discipline and caution are completely contrary to his values. This finally solves my long-standing confusion as to why Li Longyou, who was originally a person who treated his brothers with utmost sincerity, unleashed such strong disdain and viciousness towards Gao Cen. Because, he
Ending, I read a lot of things in this article, but I didn't read it from the beginning. I started reading it from the part where the male protagonist took the male protagonist back from overseas. So I have a strong sense of bee, and I swear by it without thinking of the opposite. On the contrary, if you don't think about it, that's enough! But the heroine breaks free from the unspeakable ending of being a woman. She has a sober and independent soul, and the author's portrayal is not like finding a little wolfdog right away like ordinary novels. The heroine has been heartbroken for the hero, and has been sad and confused about love and marriage. She is thinking about why women fall into such a predicament, and why only women are like this in this world! She was also grieving for the deceased and confused about the past. At this time, Wang Shiyi appeared. Together with her, he gradually understood that the past cannot be traced back, and there is no need to dwell on it, as there is still a future. Wang Shiyi truly understands her, respects her, and loves her soul. This is something that the male protagonist cannot do, and the male protagonist knows until his death that he will never get back together with the female protagonist, because no matter how many times he comes back, he will still make the same choice. He has never truly understood that the female protagonist respects her, and they will never truly grow old together. Once the novelty wears off, he will still look for new excitement. This article also contains more potential things about women being oppressed by feudal patriarchy and patriarchy. That sentence is not that I am facing him, but that the world is facing him. It really makes me sad! In the end, it was quite a fairy tale. The male protagonist changed his mind after losing the Western Expedition and agreed to make peace. The female protagonist faked her death and left Luoyang to be with her lover. How wonderful! When the heroine cried and took away the white jade pendant she gave to the hero, it seemed to me that the story of the two of them had completely ended, and there was no need to see each other again in this life. The image was so strong at that moment that I really shed tears. The more than ten years of staying together and the more than twenty years of acquaintance all disappeared like clouds of smoke. There were no regrets, and there was no fate. The heroine's thoughts and conversations about women's life, marriage, family, and children are rarely discussed in ancient Chinese novels. This is what I find particularly eye-catching. The awakening consciousness of these women is common to ancient and modern times. I am very grateful to the author for giving me a be that makes me sad and happy. In the end, Wang Shiyi and Ayun were given a life-and-death relationship. They will grow old in the mountains and forests and be buried together in a cypress coffin. Let's meet each other soon in the next life.
Long Commentary 2 of "Spring General Lan" About cheating About BE In fact, in the article on the two-person relationship route, I have already analyzed why Cui Lingyun and Li Longyou ended up like that. It seems that cheating was the trigger. When the matter came to light, Li Longyou felt shameless because she was blocked at the door, and she felt that she was at fault for stealing someone while hiding her illness. He suppressed the huge fear and sense of loss of control, covering his face with innocence and arrogance. He jumped over the wall and beat her hard, as if this could transform his shame into her shame. However, he didn't feel that he had changed his mind at all, let alone that he was wrong, so he didn't feel guilty at all. If he really realized his mistake, he should have sobered up the moment he was hiding in the cave, turned back immediately, stepped back from the brink, and went to Ayun to confess instead of continuing to cheat. This is of course because he has no face to see Ayun and wants to postpone the imaginary embarrassing scene until the last second, but it is also because of the selfish and despicable sexual psychology of men. Even if he is discovered, even if he dies in the next second, he still has to enjoy it to the end. At the moment when he was most happy, he had completely forgotten about his lonely, sick and weak wife. All the emotions such as guilt, embarrassment, sadness and regret after the happiness were not worth mentioning at this moment. Therefore, in the sequel to My Underworld, Xiao Qiongyu said that he hoped that Ayun would fulfill His Majesty's affection until death. This thought probably flashed through Li Longyou's heart even he would not admit. This is the dark side of human nature. Ayun is no longer young and beautiful, cold as an iceberg, and insane. He knows that she loves him, but he also knows that she hates him, not to mention that he himself has many unknown feelings of debt to her that torture his soul all the time. When he encountered the charm that made him unbearable, and the gentle town that allowed him to indulge his body and mind without any pressure, they were different from A Yun. They were afraid of him, obeyed him unconditionally, satisfied him, and clung to him. And he has realized that he is also an ordinary man who can't control his belt. There is probably no fundamental difference between him and other men in the world, and Ayun's ex-husband Xiao Baozhang. Perhaps he is also afraid that he will really change his heart soon. So if Ayun dies at the last moment when he loves her most, he will stop at the most beautiful moment of the affectionate emperor's eternity. Even if he loses her, he will still have her until his death. Like the new and hate the old, like the light and dislike the heavy, Li Longyou thought this way, then of course he would show it when he was completely relaxed physically and mentally. Of course Xiao Qiongyu could understand it, after all, everyone is not a fool. When sending out the red sweat towel, Ayun said: "Remind you to keep your belt tight and don't let others loosen it easily." Li Longyou laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight, and promised again and again: "I will take care of myself. No one can solve it except you." And when A Yun discovers his cheating, he catches the red sweat scarf. This is a wonderful foreshadowing laid by the original author Qing Huanman, and it is also a cruel satire on human nature. Li Longyou cheats even more despicably than ordinary men. He wanted to break off the engagement for Xiao Qiongyu, and the compensation was to get married with his son, but he pretended to be embarrassed and forced Ayun, who was already exhausted, to make choices and decisions. He asked Ayun to be the bad guy, the villain, while he hid behind the two women and got everything he wanted with a smile. In my opinion, this is the most disgusting part of the whole cheating. At this time, his cherishment and softness have been almost exhausted, and his dissatisfaction, his arrogance, and his indifference are extreme. It unreservedly exposed the dark side of Li Longyou's character. He is hot on the outside but cold on the inside, selfish, heartless, cruel and shameless, despicable and nasty. His children, his women, his lover, everyone is his ants, and they are all tools for him to use and play with. So A Yun lamented, why did God only leave his bad side, but completely wiped out the sunny boy he once was. No one is born a bad person, but Li Longyou turned himself into this person step by step and is proud of it, so he is born to be a cold evil star and an emperor's destiny. I have to say that it was unusual for him to not take the road of robbery. One reason was that he was conceited enough, and he rose to great heights without any dangers along the way. He was also used to lawlessness by A Yun and the people around him. The other reason was that he died early enough. After death, nothing can be done. So, after one party cheats, is everything really irreversible? In fact, it is not necessarily true. Even the overwhelming number of pure love war gods on the Internet cannot hide the truth of life, which is that most couples have endured this kind of pain. After tearing it apart, they swallowed it silently with blood, and then pretended it with a smile. Some have tortured each other since then, some have ended cleanly, and some have turned back. If Li Longyou can truly realize what kind of harm his actions have brought to Ayun, and can truly realize that he has done something wrong, coupled with his shamelessness and sweet entanglement, then I think they still have a chance, because even if Ayun is alive and transparent, she Her love is real and unforgettable. The weight of Li Longyou in her heart is not comparable to that of Pei Xing, Xiao Baozhang, Gao Cen or any other man. She is heartbroken, disappointed, and hateful, but she is also in pain and helpless. No one in this world can be truly 100% rational. However, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. This is the reason why it is impossible for the two of them to have another ending. Li Longyou is a character who moves forward bravely and never looks back. What he cares about is the future. Reflecting on the past is meaningless to him, or thinking about this matter is not important to him, so after he does anything, what he thinks about is always the next step, rather than looking back and missing the past. For him, the oath was something he remembered when he was passionate, something he made sincerely, but it would never truly constrain him. And Ayun is a person who thinks all the time, so she will be tied down by the past and will be brooding about what has happened. Li Longyou thought too little, so he became more and more confused and stubborn, constantly compromising with himself. Cui Lingyun thinks too much, so she becomes more and more sober, more determined, and constantly compromises with the truth. A concluding sentence in the original work has made everything very clear, "The soul will not be recognized in life, and the body will not be recognized in death." The ancients have summarized the Chinese people's simple values on life and death in eight simple words. If a person cannot correctly understand his true heart when he is alive, then his soul will not know his true self after death. Li Longyou himself didn't know who he was, and he never made an effort to recognize it. Ayun's understanding of what it means to be a human being and what it means to be a woman is something she understands all the time in her life journey. Ayun is sober in the world, and she realizes the fundamental difference between the two, so even if she loves her again, she has to let go. Li Longyou is a person with a strong sense of sensitivity. Although he knew that Ayun would not accept it before the affair, he wanted to do something and he would do it. After the affair, he deceived as always and couldn't hide it anymore. He also hoped that Ayun would accept the incident like him, suffer a lot, and then turn around. His biggest problem is that, given his status and virtue, he is overconfident and thinks he is always right. And after what happened, the person who should follow his footsteps and make changes was not him, but Ayun. She only needed to take a small step back, and they could still continue to go hand in hand, or even go further. So from the heart, although he admitted that he was a bastard, and even acted badly, he was waiting for the wise Ayun to figure it out on his own, and then be kind and soft-hearted, and then give in generously. When the fetus was returned to the womb, a careless person like him, who didn't value the child, was heartbroken. In fact, it was because he was shocked by Ayun's bottom line and tenacity, and was shocked by his own confusion. However, this still does not allow him to reflect fundamentally, because reflecting on the matter itself is confusing, painful, and torturous. Li Longyou never wants to let himself fall into this kind of pain that often has no solution at all. He turned his ignorant pain into hatred, and his hatred for Ayun was determined not to take a step back, destroying the only remaining possibility for both of them to have hope. He still doesn't understand that the possibility of them is not children, but when he recognizes his own heart and when he recognizes Ayun's heart, and he has never really tried hard to understand and embrace Ayun's heart. He couldn't figure out where things were going wrong, and was struggling in this extreme dilemma, anger, and despair. With hatred that he had nowhere to vent, he instigated Xiao Qiongyu to hold the child and make trouble. He wanted her to suffer with him and let her share this pain and embarrassment. However, he did not achieve the purpose he wanted, so he became even more resentful. He was like a trapped animal in a cage with no way out. He lost his love for each other, and could no longer understand each other, and could not even cherish each other. So he did what he did best: be callous and muddle along. What to do with the pain? Then forget the pain, hide all the fear, do your best to make yourself happy, sleep with other women as much as you want, fight heartily on the battlefield, enjoy the power and honor of the emperor, and find other ways to satisfy yourself if A Yun, a woman, cannot satisfy you. Then, is he happy? He is happy, but unintentional happiness is short-lived and empty. He can have countless women, but he only has one heart, which he has personally given to Ayun in the dazzling love and confusion of the years. But it doesn't matter. As long as Ayun is still his queen, his heart is still in the palm of his hand. As long as she is still attached to him, his heart is safe and he can find it at any time. But when he climbed the wall and saw A Yun and the energetic young man, he was shocked again, because he found that his heart had been thrown to the ground long ago, and he could no longer pick it up. This was the moment that really crushed him. He still didn't understand why he had reached this point, but he recognized the reality that everything in the world was not controlled by the emperor. He couldn't get up, so what to do with the emptiness in his chest and his endless pain? Maybe he was wrong before, so he found a way to make up for it. He dismissed the harem, he sent He Lishu away, he escaped for a short time, Ayun didn't retreat, he retreated, he thought this was the way to solve the problem. However, this does not relieve his pain, because his retreat is just a disguise, not to really liberate her and himself, but to take advantage of her unpreparedness to go one step further and push his pain into her, and then, like in the past, once again transform the pain of the two into a deeper love. He couldn't understand, so he tied her to him and let her think, digest, and let go. He didn't understand that it was him who needed to be relieved. Li Longyou is a person who only practices and does not think. He scorns the wisdom of others or the advice of wise men. Almost all of his experience comes from the traces he and she have walked along the way, and these traces have been turned a blind eye and ruthlessly abandoned by him. He just wants to keep his head high and continue to stride forward, thinking that the future will always be better. However, what he thought was progress was actually stuck in the same place. He never thought about how to behave and how to become a better person. And Ayun is a person wrapped in history and classics. She never stops learning and making progress. She has the love and hatred of countless predecessors as her reference, and every scar left by her wandering life as her understanding, so she is never blindly confident. Her caution is due to her wisdom, and also because she has lacked a sense of security since she was a child. She knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and protect herself. So when Li Longyou walked all the way to darkness, Ayun was not willing to fall off the cliff with him, so she turned around decisively and went to a bright place. Even if her heart and bones were cut open and her flesh and blood were blurred, she still had to cut them off. She knew that she couldn't save him, and no one could save anyone. People can only save themselves. Li Longyou waited for Ayun in the underworld, but finally chose to lose his mind because he still didn't understand, so he resisted thinking and gave up to understand, but he knew clearly that he had reached a desperate situation, and the only person who could save him would not take action again. However, he is still the same person, he refuses to beat around the bush, he wants to destroy himself in front of her with his own hands, telling her how much he hates her and how much he loves her. In the final analysis, Li Longyou, as a man and as a human being, has never changed because he refuses to change. I want to believe that there is one thing that he refused to change until the end: he loved her, even if it was not because of love, but because of unwillingness and stubbornness. But what exactly love is, who can say clearly. Only one thing is true: love is complicated, and people who fall in love are cute, hateful and pitiful. Two people can't see each other clearly, but they love each other. I think this is why this novel made me so sad.
The author writes so well, and I like the ending very much. The male protagonist is really hateful, extremely cruel and ruthless. I don't want to jump back to see the pain and struggle of the female protagonist. I don't want to see the sweetness between her and the male protagonist, and I don't want to be severely abused. The male protagonist is not worthy of the love he has received from the female protagonist. He deserves this end, tit for tat.
I'm more inclined to think that he is too old and can't stand it anymore, rather than sincerely repenting.
Halfway through I couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I skipped to the scene where the male protagonist cheated on me and started watching. The more I watched, the sadder I became. Why can't I recognize the high-spirited young man in my memory? It turns out that deep love at a young age can also lead to disgust at the same time. The love between ancient and modern times is actually the same. How can we be together if we are cold and indifferent?
Love this novel so much. I gave you a brief overview of the emotional timeline of Cui and Li, as if you were following them through their ups and downs again. Timeline of Cui and Li's love journey in "The End of Spring": Jianyou's twelfth year In July, Cui Lingyun became Xiao Baozhang's successor. Li Longyou became famous at a young age, won the sixth army bravely, and served as the governor of Jizhou. Cui Lingyun is 15 years old and Li Longyou is 19 years old. Jianyou thirteen years In early summer, Li Longyou captured Luoyang and occupied the palace, and the two met for the first time. Cui Lingyun was forced to come, and with the idea of death, he danced all night while Li Longyou played music. In June, after Cui Lingyun was deposed, he was assassinated when he left the palace. He was rescued by Li Longyou in Canglong Stream. He cut off his hair and called him brother for the first time, and secretly fell in love. The sun determines love. Dawu Town, first kiss.

Jianyou fourteenth year In February, Cui Lingyun was imprisoned in Luoyang Palace, gave birth to Mei Ji, and mother and daughter were separated. Li Longyou fought in the north for Cui Lingyun and his daughter, guarding his body like jade. Gao Cen was entrusted by Li Longyou to visit Cui Lingyun often and served as their messenger. Cui Lingyun is 17 years old and Li Longyou is 21 years old. Jianyou seventeenth year Li Longyou came to visit Cui Lingyun. The two were deeply in love, and Cui Lingyun gave him his first sweat towel. Differences over Meggie's custody are beginning to emerge. Cui Lingyun is 20 years old and Li Longyou is 24 years old. Jianyou's eighteenth year Cui Lingyun survived the plague in the palace. Li Longyou rebelled in the name of Cui Lingyun. Cui Lingyun was bullied by the rebels and kidnapped by the water bandit Lu Yingniang. Li Longyou came to save him. Cui Lingyun jumped into the Qinshui River with the idea of death. Li Longyou, who was seriously injured and could not swim, jumped into the river to save him. He was in a coma in Guyuan County for 21 days. Li Longyou proposed and promised to be loyal, and Cui Lingyun promised her sincerity. Xiao Baozhang granted marriage, and Li Longyou promised Cui Lingyun not to kill Xiao Baozhang. On October 26, I got married in Yuci City, and the wedding was as sweet as honey. At the end of the year, Cui Lingyun became pregnant. Cui Lingyun is 21 years old and Li Longyou is 25 years old. Jianyou 19th year At the beginning of spring, Li Longyou was granted the title of Duke of Wei and went to Julu City. The most heartwarming period between the two of them. Cui Lingyun saw her daughter Mei Ji again. Mother and daughter were separated. In the middle of the year, Xuanlang was born. Li Longyou's father, Li Jingmo, committed suicide. Li Longyou returned to his hometown to attend the funeral, but no news was heard from him. Cui Lingyun sent troops to rescue Gao Cen. Cui Lingyun is 22 years old and Li Longyou is 26 years old. Jianyou twenty years Li Longyou's men conspired to forge Cui Lingyun's handiwork, send a letter to Xiao Baozhang and set up a trap, set fire to kidnap Cui Lingyun, Wanmiao and Xuan Lang, and pretended to be Xiao Baozhang's work. Li Longyou knew and acquiesced. Cui Lingyun and his party fled all the way and were found by Zhao Lin, a man from the old palace. On the way to see Xiao Baozhang, they were rescued by Gao Cen. In Wei County, Li Longyou came and the two met again. Li Longyou suddenly felt the importance of his family's name and wanted to honor his family name and form an alliance with the Wang family. The two had their first real quarrel. Li Longyou used Gao Cen's sister Gao Qin to test whether Cui Lingyun could take a concubine. Cui Lingyun was resolute, so Li Longyou gave up the marriage with the Wang family and chose to give Xuanlang as a pledge. Cui Lingyun was heartbroken and disappointed, and wanted to take Xuan Lang as hostage. Li Longyou slandered Gao Cen as a man with broken sleeves, and brought out Mei Ji to threaten Cui Lingyun to stay. Cui Lingyun left heartbroken. Cui Lingyun and Xuanlang went to Langya County in Dongtai Mountain as hostages and met Juan Niang and his wife. Cui Lingyun is 23 years old and Li Longyou is 27 years old. Jianyou twenty-one years Cui Lingyun killed someone in self-defense to save Xuanlang and was imprisoned. With the help of Juan Niang, Cui Lingyun sent a blood letter to Gao Cen for help. Li Longyou continued to fight and defended Cui Lingyun like a jade. Cui Lingyun is 24 years old and Li Longyou is 28 years old. Jianyou twenty-four years In the summer, Li Longyou regained Chang'an and ceded three cities in exchange for Cui Lingyun returning home, while Xuanlang continued to be a hostage. Cui Lingyun was assassinated by Li Longyou's men on his way back. Li Longyou came to the rescue and cut off his little finger to show his determination, and the phalanges appeared. Cui Lingyun put aside his hesitation and followed Li Longyou to conquer the world. The two work together. Cui Lingyun is 27 years old and Li Longyou is 31 years old. Jianyou twenty-seven years In the spring, the former dynasty Xiao Baozhang passed away. In October, Li Longyou ascended the throne, and his country was named David. He changed his name to Chengsheng, made his capital Luoyang, and took charge of the old palace. Cui Lingyun was named queen. Gao Cen was granted the title of Central Guard, accompanying him and staying in the imperial palace. The founding heroes were all rewarded and granted titles based on their merits. Xuanlang returned to Luoyang and was granted the title of King Yong. Mei Ji and Pei Wangzhi enter the palace. Li Longyou rectified the previous dynasty, vowed to only respect the queen, and opposed the establishment of a sixth palace. Cui Lingyun regulated the harem and perfected the system of female officials. Cui Lingyun is 30 years old and Li Longyou is 34 years old. The second year of Chengsheng The former dynasty surrendered, and David unified the thirteen states of the world. In autumn, Cui Lingyun brought the surrendered princess Xiao Qiongyu into the palace. Li Longyou colluded with her and broke off the engagement between Xiao Qiongyu and Wang Yue in exchange for informing Wei Rulong, the founding hero of the country. The two got along less and less, and Emperor Li Longyou became more proud and began to cheat on her. Mei Ji is pregnant and has a private life-long marriage with Pei Wangzhi. Wang Si died, and Juan Niang died in love, leaving behind an orphan girl named He Yi. Li Longyou forced Cui Lingyun to make a choice. Cui Lingyun was heartbroken and decided to marry Xuanlang and He Yi and give up the marriage between Meiji and Wangzhi. Pei Wangzhi was forced to death by Li Longyou and Xuanlang, and Meiji left the palace. Cui Lingyun was exhausted mentally and physically, seriously ill and insane. In winter, Cui Lingyun discovered that Li Longyou had cheated on her, and the two had a famous confrontation. Cui Lingyun asked for a divorce, but Li Longyou forced Gao Cen to death, threatened to spread rumors that Cui Lingyun and Gao Cen were having an affair, and forced Cui Lingyun to strip off, and the two broke up. Cui Lingyun took off his phalanges and left the palace to live in Cui Garden. Under Li Longyou's coercion, Xuan Lang chose to stay in the palace and did not follow Cui Lingyun. Li Longyou learned that Cui Lingyun was pregnant and wanted to kill Xiao Qiongyu without any obstruction. However, the minister dissuaded him and Xiao Qiongyu was sent out of the palace. When Cui Lingyun learned that she was pregnant, she danced for six days and then aborted the fetus and sent it back to the palace. Li Longyou suffered from angina pectoris and was absent from the court in March. Cui Lingyun is 32 years old and Li Longyou is 36 years old. Chengsheng three years In February, Li Longyou opened his harem. Cui Lingyun persuaded the ministers to make peace with each other, but Li Longyou refused. Li Longyou found Cui Lingyun's mother and asked to meet her. Cui Lingyun refused and told her that she had made a vow not to see each other again on the day she left the palace. Li Longyou left Beijing and patrolled south to recover Baiyue. Cui Lingyun met Wang Yue. Xiao Qiongyu gave birth secretly and was taken back to the palace. Li Longyou instigated Xiao Qiongyu to carry the child to Cui Garden to cause trouble. Xiahou Yi passed away at the gate of Cuiyuan. Wanmiao left the palace to follow Cui Lingyun. Cui Lingyun is 33 years old and Li Longyou is 37 years old. Chengsheng four years Cui Lingyun got along with Wang Yue, and Wang Yue was sent away from Luoyang by Xuan Lang. Cui Lingyun contacted his old ministers and learned that Wang Yue's disappearance was caused by Xuan Lang's action. He also learned that Li Longyou used her hand to plot against Xiao Baozhang. All the old ministers also learned the truth about Gao Cen's death, and the monarch and his ministers became more and more alienated. There were many beauties in the harem, and many royal heirs were born. The ministers impeached and deposed the queen, but Li Longyou refused. Li Longyou suffered from hysteria and demoted the founding hero to lead the Western Expedition. Cui Lingyun stepped out of the gloom and opened a forum to teach the Dharma, and young men followed him. Cui Lingyun is 34 years old and Li Longyou is 38 years old. Chengsheng six years Wang Yue returned to Beijing and reunited with Cui Lingyun, and the two fell in love. In August, Li Longyou lost the war, and his master returned to the court. He went to Cui Garden to climb the wall and saw Cui Lingyun and a group of young men. He politely rebuked Li Longyou. Li Longyou was disheartened and unable to recover. In September, Xuanlang was awarded the title of Crown Prince. Subsequently, Li Longyou dismissed the harem. On the day of Li Longyou's birthday, he came to Cuiyuan to send off his letter of resignation and asked Cui Lingyun to stay in Luoyang for the rest of his life in exchange. Cui Lingyun agreed. When he saw the lost Li Longyou for the last time, he kicked over the soup cake and said his final farewell. Cui Lingyun is 36 years old and Li Longyou is 40 years old. Chengsheng eight years Li Longyou was ostracized by the court and patrolled the east, going to the places where Cui Lingyun had walked in the past. Cui Lingyun escaped and flew away with Wang Yue. Cui Lingyun is 38 years old and Li Longyou is 42 years old. Ten years of Chengsheng In March, Li Longyou thought Cui Lingyun was dead, threw down the old buffalo, and committed suicide. Cui Lingyun is 40 years old and Li Longyou is 44 years old. Long comment one: Cui Lingyun was the queen of two dynasties, and Li Longyou usurped the throne and ushered in a prosperous age. The lives of two people are vigorous, and of course their love is also vigorous. No matter what the ending is, Li Longyou is a fanatical young man who goes through fire and water for his lover and sacrifices his life many times. This is a sentiment worthy of admiration and touching. The original author's writing style is subtle, and many subtle details are hidden in the events. In fact, if you spread out the timeline and take a closer look, it is not difficult to see that the gap between the two has been there from the beginning and has never been broken. It does not disappear because of any famous scene of sincerity and eternal alliance. Li Longyou was not 100% passionate as he thought. He had a combination of love and use from the beginning, and based on his moral standards, he believed that this was not a problem at all. But he also understood that it was unacceptable in Ayun's eyes, and he easily made the choice to hide it. He was betrayed by his family since he was a child and never considered cheating to be a big deal. Li Longyou is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals, which includes getting the woman he loves. In order to get it, he will give everything, including his own sincerity. This also means that once he wants something else, he will not hesitate to change the target. He keeps running and never stops, so he will never be satisfied and will always be enthusiastic and high-spirited. I have to say that this is also the charm of him. The original work also often mentions a sentence, one's deeds do not matter one's heart. This can also explain why A Yun said many times that Li Longyou was not a human being. When the two broke up, Li Longyou also admitted it personally. Li Longyou has a low limit and has no ethical baggage, but because he loves Cui Lingyun, he deliberately restrains or avoids hiding. But A Yun is not this kind of person in essence, and the two do not understand each other on this fundamental issue. Even if the two finally fell out, Li Longyou never really felt that he was at fault. His regret was finally realized after many years of thinking in hell. Li Longyou was almost raped and killed by a female assassin before she met A Yun, so she has a deep-rooted grudge against women. He met A Yun, who was like a heavenly being, and then fell into love. He remained loyal until the age of thirty-six. Even if it was mixed with vanity, self-confidence, possessiveness and guilt, it was undeniable that he was serious and determined for this love. However, as time goes by, holding the world in hand, mutual dissatisfaction becomes more and more serious, the two hearts are separated, and they get along less and less, and Ayun has a gloomy appearance and a violent temper. He has more or less the idea that "women are actually just like that", and his mind is no longer bound by the female assassin or Ayun. He even feels that hanging on a woman may not be an honor of steadfastness, but a sign that a man is not smart, capable, or even humble and cowardly. Just one year after he ascended the throne, his original intention was already unstable. He doubted A Yun and also doubted himself. Therefore, when he cheated, I believe his hesitation was only for a moment. Between the temptation of the enchanting young man outside and the sick and crazy yellow-faced woman at home, he followed the nature of a man. The identity of Xiao Qiongyu's niece only stimulates him, not hinders him. Moreover, she is the daughter of Ayun's former man, and he regards her as a trophy for ascending to the throne. Moreover, Xiao Qiongyu and he had similar personalities and matching temperaments. They should have spiritual resonance, and Li Longyou gained understanding and recognition from her. Not only did he vent A Yun's unsatisfied desire, but he also gained a different pleasure from getting along with A Yun's men and women. This made him feel more and more that it was because he had experienced too few women that he was completely devoted to A Yun. Although his love with Xiao Qiongyu is not as unforgettable as Ayun's, it is only about pure joy and enjoyment, without complicated entanglements and pains. Based on this, the selfish him will never give up voluntarily unless necessary. He has become accustomed to tit-for-tat and noisy situations with A-Yun, thinking that this is the way they are accustomed to getting along and even their unique taste. It has always been like this. He only needs to pretend to be crazy and coax with tenderness as always, and A-Yun will regress. The two of them will still be reconciled as before, and he will not only retain his love with A-Yun, but also get more of what he wants. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he resented Ayun for not having his wholehearted enthusiasm and for having other men in his heart. Therefore, this was also a kind of revenge for being a man and thinking that he did not receive an equal response. After the two broke up, he did not retain her again and allowed Ayun to leave the palace. On his side, he thought that the big issue would be reduced to a trivial matter and Ayun would come back to him. On the other hand, he felt uneasy in his heart. This was because he had never been able to grasp Ayun's true character and bottom line. But he just turned this uneasiness into more doubts about why he had a deep love for Ayun. He thought that maybe it was just that he couldn't see the love between men and women when he was young and ignorant. For a person like him, when he had an idea, it was impossible not to give it a try, so he allowed himself to go on the road that deviated from A Yun, waiting for A Yun to turn around and waiting for when he would completely let go of A Yun. But he misestimated Ayun and himself. He misestimated the power of time and habits. Only when you are young and experience love for the first time will you risk your life for love. He thought that he could do anything when he became the emperor, forgetting that this also meant that he was no longer a young man who was young and energetic, and he could taste the beauty of sex. But for love, he actually no longer had the energy to come back, let alone live and die for the second woman. He had given all his passion and true love to A Yun, and what he gained from this was the only and most beautiful thing he could have. Once lost, he would later realize that the pain and emptiness would be endless. He gave up the years he had passed, the contributions of others and himself, and he personally gave up the most important part of his life, denying Ayun and himself. And the disputes between the women in the harem, the betrayal of the old heroes, the defeat on the battlefield that was once unbeatable, and being ignored in the court, all these really hit him in the face, forcing him to gradually wake up, and he overestimated himself. He is a heartless, muddled-through person who always finds a way to continue no matter where he goes. He left Beijing to escape, gave A-Yun and Li Shu, dismissed the harem, and traveled east to follow the path A-Yun had taken. These were all his usual methods. He and A-Yun had had too many experiences where separation was better than a wedding. He firmly believed that as long as A-Yun was still under his nose, he would try his best to get what he wanted again. A person like him will never retreat throughout his life until his energy is exhausted and the only way out is death.
After reading the revised chapters with added details, I can only sigh: the male protagonist didn't understand where he went wrong until he died. He really had no connection with A Yun, and Wang Lang was the one who was the best match for A Yun. The male protagonist should stay in the underworld to see the perfect encounter that he and Xiao Qiongyu created for A Yun and Wang Lang. Hahaha, the extra story must let him know about it. There is nothing more heart-wrenching than this. Hehe.
Before going to bed, I suddenly remembered the ancient popular CP Shixing and Shisao, and found that Xuan Lang and He Yi in "Feng Lang" perfectly matched the Ten Xings: Fortunately, we meet at the right time (we meet when we grow up, and our relationship will naturally fall into place) Two lucky childhood sweethearts, (he was involved in her entire childhood, the only child in the village, and echoed the subsequent dependence on each other, giving her a full sense of destiny) Three lucky confidants with white hair, (He Yi is as wise as a fool and is the only one who can understand Xuan Lang's inner thoughts. Similarly, Xuan Lang also understands all her little thoughts) The four lucky prosperous times are peace and abandonment of soldiers, (thank you scum dad for bringing peace to the world) Wu Xing laughed and scolded her together (she was making trouble, he was laughing, he looks upright and serious, but he will stand by her unconditionally) Six lucky ones hold hands and return home, (cultivating the right path, having children) Qi Xing looked at each other and there was no need to answer. (When Xuan Lang was working, He Yi was either reading or practicing calligraphy or playing by himself. There was no need to say anything and it would not be embarrassing) Hachiko is still concerned about meeting him again after a long absence. (She has forgotten him after not seeing him for many years, but when he moved to a new house, he prepared a small building for her, decorated it like her boudoir, and remembers her birthday every year) Fortunately, I have a good marriage in this life, (get married together, have children, and be happy) Fortunately, in times of crisis, everyone dispersed, looking back to look at him. (When he mistakenly thought A Yun was dead, his dreams for many years came to nothing, he felt abandoned by the whole world, and was about to give up on himself, it was He Yi who aroused his will to live. After he gave up his wish, she was already the most important person in his heart and irreplaceable) As for the Ten Abuses, the parents in "Chun Jiang Lan" simply hit the mark in every aspect. A beautiful woman in her twilight years, (Ayun was no longer young before she left the palace. She was once a stunning beauty who could make rebellious ministers and traitors suspend their rebellion) The second child is confused about love and hate, (I'm talking about you, Li Longyou, the transformation from a dragon-slaying boy to an evil dragon makes me so sad) The three-year-old confidants became strangers. (The young couple also had a similar mind. He was willing to risk everything in the world to marry her. She was sensitive, indifferent and cold, and was willing to put down her guard to trust and accept him.) The four abuses destroyed the country and destroyed the family. Ten thousand bones were withered. (The old dynasty fell, Ayun lost the country and the family, and had no qualifications to compete with fate. He could only live in exile and was forced to accept it.) The five cruelties parted in life and death, (Gao Cen, my feelings are hard to reconcile, and Wan Miao, one prompted her to resolutely leave the palace, the other prompted her to leave Luoyang, and the sweet fiancé in the lines, an innocent victim of power) The kindness and kindness of Liushu are gone. (The night the couple broke up, from that day on, Li Longyou in Ayun's heart died) Qi Shu seeks but does not suffer. (Li Longyou, she never understood love until her death. She regretted it after losing it but didn't know how to get it back. All the efforts she made were hurt to her) Ba Sha lost and recovered and finally hesitated (in the middle, A Yun abandoned the young Xuan Lang, the couple reunited, started a career together, briefly let go of the knot, and wanted to get back together, but it was difficult to mend the broken mirror, and the rift eventually became wider and wider) Jiu Shu had a weak relationship (she was the empress of the former dynasty who was walking on thin ice, and he was an ambitious and rebellious traitor. No matter what, it was impossible to marry. But true love can conquer mountains and fill seas, and later they finally got married legitimately, but they did not live happily for a long time and they went their separate ways. One fought in the north and south, and the other was a hostage in precarious life. They reunited many years later, and the beauty was just a flash in the pan) After ten years of abuse, everyone is like the shadow of the king, but the way is still not as good as before. (Li Longyou didn't find a substitute, but he and Mei Ji were able to resolve their feud, and his granddaughter played a major role. He felt that the child looked like A Yun, but it didn't matter whether he looked like him or not. The child had A Yun's blood in his body, and this complex was enough to touch him. He indulged Xuan Lang, part of The reason is that he looks like his mother. Maybe he has a guilty conscience, so he has a very strange attitude towards Xuanlang. He talks about love and rubs her hard, and Mei Ji can't stand it anymore, but she cultivates him as his successor and is willing to entrust him with her authority.)
Ahhhhhhhh! It's over! Sprinkle flowers on Da Da! After reading the full text, I not only admired the author's writing style, but also felt emotional about the whole story. The four characters "Lanyin and Xuguo" are vividly reflected in Ayun and Gouzi. The beauty of youth and the sadness of middle age are all described very vividly, which made me follow Ayun and feel her life. It cannot be said that Er Gouzi does not love A Yun, but it cannot be said that Er Gouzi loves A Yun. The whole story is not complicated, but it makes me feel very realistic. I see that the original copy has been revised several times, but I still remember the original intention of the author of the original version: "A woman should be herself first, and then her wife and mother" (it seems to mean this). I really, really like this sentence, and I am particularly touched that the author persisted in writing this story and told us this original intention. Every character is vivid and vivid, and every plot is reasonable. From heartbeat to hatred, how the story develops step by step is very realistic. But I'm really happy. The author finally gave Ayun a very happy ending, allowing her to finally get out of the pain and live out her life! Thank you so much for bringing us such great works! Finished spreading flowers! (PS: Move the bench obediently and wait for the next big book hehehe)
