Historical Romance: Household Intrigue and Political Scheming, Not Just Wish Fulfillment
When I read historical romances, I don't like implausible declarations of mutual sexual purity, since they don't fit the historical setting. I prefer realistic writing and have high standards for plot. I don't read tedious, listless stories.

I don't know if anyone has noticed that in her previous life, Wen Yaying seduced Wei Nian, a small businessman who abandoned his first wife. In this life, she still has the same fate, replaced by Chang Song.
I read it again and found that there was no ending for Mr. Rong, and then there was the eldest brother and his family. It was difficult after that. It would be great if all the overseas relationships were gone. After all, I feel a little bit distraught about that era.
This novel is really well written. Originally, I never read Republican novels because I couldn't stand the inevitable tragedies brought about by the times. However, this novel basically does not describe the pain of war, and the protagonist spent his later years overseas. I like this book because I have read novels for so many years. It is the first time that it has inspired me to think about life and career, and it has inspired me to learn and make progress. I like the heroine's character and conduct very much, but I can't help but think that if she didn't know her past life, it would be difficult for her to achieve such great achievements. In her previous life, she was a village girl who was looked down upon. Wei Nian is a replica of Chang Song. Because of a little fate A coincidence made Chen Xuan aware of the misery of her previous life, thus reminding her of the importance of learning and the need for self-reliance. Her progress also affected Wei Nian, making him fall in love with Chen Xuan, and gradually shed his image of a small businessman who loves to work. This book is very successful in shaping the female protagonist, but the male protagonist Wei Nian's personality charm is still lacking. In addition, the characterization of the heroine's biological mother, Mrs. Wen, is also very complete and stands out. As for the dispute in the comments, I think Mrs. Wen is not wrong. In any era, if she had the ability at the time, she would definitely take the heroine away, but fate separated them. It is understandable that they did not take over immediately after they had the ability. Because people have been far away from each other for so many years, even if they are related by blood, the connection between them will gradually fade away. In general, the protagonists in this life are very happy and their families are happy. The only thing that can't be reconciled is the mediocrity and misery of the male and female protagonists in their previous lives. Finally, the author's writing level is very high, the description is very delicate, and there are details everywhere. The shortcoming is that the dialogue is very long, and it is still a bit divorced from reality for a person to speak for such a long time.
It turns out that everything has a trace. I just saw that the introduction of this article is the story of the rebirth of a neglected heroine, which already implies that A Xuan was ignored by her mother. When she saw her dusty life, she was abandoned by her mother. This is so unacceptable in Shi Shi's novels. Shi Shi has always written about pure family, friendship and love. It's amazing, but suddenly a heroine gave up her daughter just for the sake of face. I couldn't let it go, especially in the context of the Republic of China. Because this period of national suffering is too close to me, I often can't calmly look at everything in the Republic of China objectively. As long as this is a novel with an ancient background, I don't have such a hard time letting go.
I found that many of the novels about the Republic of China end with either going abroad or going to Hong Kong.
Finished watching it again. . . . Mrs. Wen asked Chen Xuan if she resented Mrs. Wen's abandonment. Chen Xuan said that she was pregnant at the time, and that she should use her time and emotions in worthwhile ways. I didn't seem to see this passage the first time I read it! Also, Wei Nian asked A-Xuan to write poems to him, and then A-Xuan wrote a letter. One of the sentences was very touching. She liked A-Nian when she first met her. This kind of love was not love, but a life-long dependable relaxation. As for A-Nian's escape almost from the bottom of her heart, A-Xuan said that she was not worthy of being liked at that time. I like this description very much. Ah Xuan and An Nian's two-way journey is more clear in this letter.
I quite like the idea. But I didn't see the ending where the heroine returns to serve the motherland, which is a bit regretful... I thought she was avoiding the war abroad and doing research, and finally returned to China to do something.
I think the first part is good and I enjoyed reading it. This article is overall a good one. I saw too many golden fingers at the end. The heroine should have spent seven or eight years from being reborn to going abroad. She worked at home to start a business and studied at night. Then she went from not knowing a single character to being able to apply to go abroad. In the early stage of study, she was self-taught at a literacy level. Later she learned to speak several languages and could communicate with foreigners. The golden fingers were a bit thick. Then when I went to study in the United States, I almost fast forwarded, because they went abroad after 1931, probably around 1933. At that time, the United States was in the Great Depression, and applying for a U. S. Visa was much more difficult than before, not to mention that their whole family was going to the United States. Realistically speaking, it is estimated that the visa will be rejected directly. Moreover, the unemployment rate in the United States was soaring at that time, and everyone had no money. If you open a company there, you will only lose money, let alone a Chinese company. Even if you have money, life there will not be easy at all, because it is difficult to have income, and you can only rest on your laurels. In American Life, I wonder if this rebirth was the heroine's fantasy before she died. The woman who stole her husband was a brainless young lady that everyone hated. She recognized her rich biological mother, her husband changed her mind, and she had a successful career. This article is very enjoyable, but there are many plots that cannot be explored in detail, especially going to the United States to study there. It may be a beautiful dream that the author weaves for everyone. It has been a long time since I have read a readable article. Overall, the writing style and plot of this article are good.
As for Mr. Rong's ending, it's a bit regretful after all. I want to see him have a good ending.
When I watched it, I felt that the heroine was independent and self-reliant and broke through the shackles, which was very touching. Now it seems that the pattern is relatively small. She was raised and raised in China, but she has never contributed anything here. I have read so many books, but I have no idea of doing anything for the country and the people. In the end, I just want to provide talents for the United States.
