The ending has been continued, and nearly everything that wasn't explained before has now been covered.
Beautiful, candid, considerate princess x perceptive, devoted, aloof young master of a top aristocratic clan
[On Being a Prince Consort]
A fine carriage drawn by magnificent horses, its fragrance of cosmetics and incense wafting through the streets and trailing behind it, stops beside a teahouse on Vermilion Bird Avenue.
A flour-faced "female ghost" leans out gracefully, fluttering like a butterfly.
Princess Ning Zhao looks on.
Speechless, she chokes back tears.
There are many cross-dressing men like this in Jiankang.
She never expected the one who fell to her would be the most feminine of them all.
Heart aching, she raises her small face, which clearly says no, to show she doesn't want a prince consort like this.
The person beside her chuckles, his words full of meaning: "A Yan, what kind would you like?"
What kind, indeed?
"Naturally, someone strong and imposing."
He knew long ago that he wasn't her type.
[Important]
1. Set in a partly fictionalized version of the middle and late Eastern Jin dynasty, following the broad course of history. This isn't a strong female lead story, and the heroine won't change the world. It's lighthearted, doesn't go out of its way to clash with history, and won't change the problems of the dynasty before it falls.
2. A slow-burn, heartwarming story about ideal and non-ideal types. In a nutshell, the heroine likes the second male lead (not really), while the male lead has a secret crush on her.
3. Many characters are based on historical figures, sometimes combining one or several people.
4. Sorry, I wasn't in a good place before, so I rushed straight to the ending. I didn't want to leave things unresolved, so I've now revised and continued Chapters 73-77, and added some of the heroine's inner thoughts to earlier chapters.
Reader's guide:
① The princess flirts and gets flirted with, while enjoying food, drink, and everyday pleasures.
② The story is set during the Eastern Jin dynasty. The factions are based on the broader historical setting but rearranged, so don't take the details too seriously~
In short, this is an age of oppression and abandon, of decay and renewal, of unconventional elegance, and of love~
Blurb for my new story:
Mu Niannian transmigrates to another continent and becomes a country girl. Along with several other girls from her village, she's offered up by the villagers as a sacrifice to the mountain god.
In the middle of the night, the mountain god appears.
He's a beautiful young man dressed in white.
He gently asks why they've come to his temple.
One of the girls explains how it happened.
The young man gently asks again:
"Would you like to be my bride?"
Dazzled by the mountain god's beauty, the country girl shyly replies, "Yes."
In front of everyone, the mountain god tears out her heart.
Mu Niannian's mission is to win over this sinister mountain god.
She thinks it's an impossible mission.
Later, he cradles her in trembling arms.
--Don't leave me.
--
After he dies, he becomes a vengeful spirit and sleeps for centuries in endless darkness, until one day a wisp of his soul is awakened by his resentment.
He sees Mu Niannian.
His sacrifice. His bride.
Theme: Paint a portrait with words, capturing the elegance of an entire dynasty.
It's very sad, I feel like everything has changed after marriage. Before, Yan was a free and happy princess, Heng was as gentle as jade, and Qing was as cold as snow, and she had been silently paying for the princess. After the marriage, Yan suppressed her unhappiness and wanted to coax Heng. Of course, there are reasons for the royal family's changes... Sad
I read it because I like the background of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the story of childhood sweethearts. When I saw the ending, I felt that it was well written. It did not force the protagonist to do any abrupt actions that were not in line with the historical background at that time. Everything was reasonable and very comfortable to read. I hope to see other books with this background of the author in the future.
Overall, it's a good watch. If I have to point out a problem, it's that the pace in the second half is a bit too fast. It feels like a lot of things passed by without much development. Ps. I really like the male and female protagonists. I like them so much. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
After staying up all night to catch up, I'm a little bald again I don't know how I found this article. The writing style is great. When I read the article and tried to read the comments, I was surprised that the data in this article seemed a bit deserted. Anyway, for me, it is a rare good article that I can read without being impatient, abandoning it, or skipping chapters to finish it! I really like the description of the Eastern Jin Dynasty background. I feel that a lot of effort has been put into it! It's just that the last few chapters seem to be a bit fast forward and hastily ended, and the emotional line is also a bit abrupt. It feels like the princess's feelings have just begun to sublimate, and suddenly they confess to each other in one breath; the supporting characters also receive their lunches very suddenly. At the beginning, I thought they were just characters, but they disappeared at the end (I don't know how to put it, it probably gave me the feeling that the heavy-weight second male lead disappeared as soon as he said it would disappear, and then suddenly found out that he died in the narration one day?) But it's still great! You are an author who deserves to be discovered by more people, come on!
Congratulations on finishing Spreading Flowers! This story has been a long time coming. In my opinion, the first half is better written than the second half. It can be seen that the second half was written in a rough manner while keeping up with the schedule. But it's understandable. Compared with all kinds of mindless pet and perverted abuse in Jinjiang now, this article is not considered mainstream in Jinjiang. But at least it was a breath of fresh air. Probably because of this reason, I felt that my grades were not good. I have always believed that both writing and reading reflect my deep-seated consciousness. Beautiful people cannot write ugly words and stories. Similarly, those who like mindless pets and perverted abuse must have a secret code hidden deep inside them, but they just don't know it. In fact, you have to be confident. The first half of the story is really well written. It is beautiful to see the warm love between the male and female protagonists grow slowly, and it can be just as beautiful without so much struggle, intrigue, and supporting roles.
I really miss Zong Mingshu marrying Xiao Yi. Zong Mingshu deserves better, Lin Fu doesn't. I don't like the fact that the heroine secretly used Zong Mingshu's trust in her to ruin Zong Xiao's marriage. It's too distasteful.
Jump here first to watch the finale, it's great
My favorite article, make up for it~
Wang Jianzhi is really naughty... It is not good to abuse my female goose
