I finally finished reading it. During the chapter review, I saw a lot of readers who followed it. I was really lucky to read this article only after it was finished. I also thank the author for not cheating. It is so good! [Star Eyes] In the early stage, Qi Ling's image of the arrogant young emperor was very delicately and elegantly portrayed. The first scene between the male and female protagonists really exaggerated the emperor's sense of oppression. From the initial desire to conquer the beast, to the subsequent curiosity, temptation, sinking, and trust, the emotional changes were described very delicately. Every event is interlocked and seamless, which makes people feel the process of emotional sinking. The image of the heroine is also very three-dimensional and full. She has the pride and tenacity of the daughter of the princes and kings, the calmness of the queen, the wildness of the wild growth in the Chu land, and the exquisite heart of the royal family. After reading this novel, no one will not love the [Spreading Flowers] of our sisters and brothers. Aspiring to the throne at a young age, Qi Ling witnessed the feud between brothers and the alienation of mother and son due to the struggle for power. Deep down in his heart, he felt insecure. As an emperor, it was difficult for him to trust others wholeheartedly. And sister broke into the young emperor's life like a newborn deer in the Chu land. Whether it was her tenacious vitality or her breathtaking beauty, he was deeply attracted to her. As an emperor, he should be decisive and ruthless in killing, but when facing his sister, Qi Ling always softened his heart. Before he stayed on the bed for a long time to recuperate, he also arranged an escape route for her, thinking that even if she was fed poison, he would drink it without hesitation. In the end, my whole country and my life depended on each other. Fortunately, my sister's response was "I will live up to you." Just like what Qi Ling said to the young prince in the extra story, he must "show his sincerity" to his mother. Emperors often promise high officials and generous salaries, attracting countless people to follow them one after another. However, the most deadly skill of a great emperor is trust. Only trusting wholeheartedly can make people truly open their hearts and be used by me, even to the death. In the article, the elder sister secretly used the seal to mobilize the army for the first time. When Qi Ling returned to Beijing, he did not trust her wholeheartedly, which also meant that he did not really give his sincerity. In the end, he broke into the Suzaku Gate and narrowly escaped death. He let go of his suspicions and sincerely surrendered. The dragon chair kissed him, and he was sincerely convinced. As a king who controls the world, he can give the queen all kinds of glory and wealth, but only Qi Ling, who has taken off all guard, can give her sister trust and love. Trust makes people equal, and equality leads to mutual respect, which breeds true feelings. There is never a shortage of love, hatred, courage and sincerity in this land. History is always written by the victors. The truth of the past is no longer known, but we can still get a glimpse of the prosperity of ancient times through excellent literary creations. Some of the descriptions in the book really made me immersed in the situation. The description of Qi Ling's imperial mentality seemed to really let me know why so many capable people and lofty ideals would follow him wholeheartedly. The epitome of the king can be seen, and he really has a very charming personality. Writing about my sister's love and justice, calmness and wisdom, I can truly feel the outstanding female image in history, with a proud character and no less than an emperor. The novel is modeled after the Han Dynasty. In history, most of the young emperors and empresses were orchid, and few were he. The author uses beautiful and dreamy words to give us a relatively rational story, which makes people impressed by the touching love. "Thirty pips of spring water, I want to see the south of the Yangtze River" just like the author said, "They really existed, I saw them, so I recorded them." I believe that in the parallel world, my sister and my brother are happily together, year after year. Lingting 99 Finally, I would like to sincerely thank the author, Yi Randa, you are simply a god TvT! So well written!
Thirty-six Pi Spring Waters, I want to see Jiangnan when I grow old After the intrigues and ups and downs, I still want to grow old with you and my deep love [Star Eyes][Star Eyes][Star Eyes]
I don't know how many times I have reread it. It feels like I am reading a new article. I read it frequently. I found out that every time my sister and brother were in the same frame, they were always talking about each other. Even every time they mentioned each other, every time they were mentioned in other people's mouths, I stumbled to the point of fainting.
It's so beautiful. My sister is the only one who is addicted to my emperor's mind.
After watching it, the image of the male protagonist is more charming and charming. The heroine is really a mystery like the Chu Nu of Xiangjiang River.
This is my first time watching a sister-brother relationship. It's so sweet and makes my heart surge [Starry Eyes]
Thirty-six spring water, longing to see the south of the Yangtze River. The author's writing style is so good. I kept looking up the pronunciations of rare words while reading. The psychological conflicts and changes of the characters are described very delicately. The tension between the emperor and the empress is full of love. ❤️
The author's writing style and historical skills are both excellent, and it feels like reading a historical novel + a romance novel. This is the true ancient saying. Looking forward to more works from the author, come on!
If there is a good article, you will never forget it. Put in 14 bottles and get a total of three thousand. Reviewed on April 8, 2026. Thirty-six spring water, longing to see the south of the Yangtze River. The author's literary talent is very good. I feel that he has thoroughly understood classical Chinese. Many sentences in the article are not original sentences of classical Chinese, but are adapted by the author. They are really written by himself. I admire them and arouse my interest in learning classical Chinese.
