South of the river grows the drooping tree, with kudzu vines twining around it. She happily marries, only to find her husband in his concubine's room on their wedding night;
Childhood sweethearts, innocent and inseparable, cannot withstand a moment of change in a sea of love and illusion;
A loving couple, perfectly in tune, soon part ways and become strangers;
In a turbulent age, amidst the joys and sorrows of love, three couples' tales of heartbreak and happiness...
Longing lingers on lilac branches and at the tips of cardamom shoots.
Theme: Love for one's partner, family, and homeland
The experiences of the three couples in the full text are essentially the same. The three male protagonists all gave up on the female protagonist when faced with a choice due to various different reasons. Qi did it because of desire, Cui because of her appearance (?) And personality, and Xie because of misunderstanding and a little bit of nonsense. Later, after a long or short period of time, he came to regret and pursued his wife. The three female protagonists all fell in love with the male protagonist at first sight and remained loyal until death, but they also suffered more or less torture during the pursuit of his wife. In my opinion, the seriousness of the mistakes of the three male protagonists is Xie the least, Cui the second, and Qi the most serious, but the "torture" they suffered does not match the mistakes they made. The torture of Qi and Cui was changed, and Meijun was asked to choose a son-in-law to marry another, Qi Chengyao raised a child for his love rival, and Puqing was left indifferent to Cui Zhaolin for nine years. Otherwise, Meijun's sins were not worthy of her forgiveness, and there was no commitment between Ye and Cui, and Cui Zhaolin did not fall in love with each other. This kind of "atonement" was really heavy. There are also three "third parties" in the three relationships. I think only Yao Fengxi is "unforgivable". Considering the historical background, even she is "understandable". It was Qi Chengyao's mistakes and Qi Chengyao's mother who gave her the confidence to hurt Meiyun. As for Qiao Shiying and Jiang Shuhui, they were just the ones chosen by the male protagonist when he faced a choice, and their endings were a bit sad. I really like the author's writing. The scene when Xie Qi went home for the winter vacation really made my adrenaline surge but I couldn't stop.
The Northeastern male characters in this novel all have a bit of a forgetful quality: when the male protagonist falls in love with the female protagonist, he calls the female partner a "little bitch"; when the second male protagonist wants to pursue the second female lead, he says to his ex-girlfriend, "You get what you pay for" (calling his ex-girlfriend a prostitute)...
It's really unflattering. Are all Northeastern men in the third dimension like this?
Not saying anything bad after a breakup is a basic quality of a literati.
I've watched it several times. Will you come back? Looking forward to more works 🤩
So pretty! Your literary talent is really good. This kind of writing is really rare in Jinjiang.
Very well written, looks very heavy
Alas, I hope Qiao Shiying has a good ending. I didn't expect it to be so heroic in the end.
It's a niche novel, but it's good to read and the writing is excellent.
Excellent author, excellent work
Alas, I should have discovered this great article earlier. Only a very good author can write such a wonderful article!
It took me a few days to read all the author's works. I just want to say that the wife is so beautiful. Her writing style is excellent, unique, knowledgeable, and well-read. All the real historical events that are not known to the public have been written down. This is a treasure author.
