A product of passionate procrastination, a story of three lifetimes written to satisfy my own cravings
[Blurb]
The proud movie emperor Du Ruo and the aloof queen of television Gu Shiqin first met when he was a household name and she was just starting out.
At the time, Du Ruo walked up to Gu Shiqin and said, "Have we met somewhere before?"
Gu Shiqin looked up and smiled. "That pickup line is outdated."
Their growing understanding and love came naturally after that.
It was only later, when Gu Shiqin recalled the figures falling amid endless bamboo groves and saw heroic spirits buried beneath the vast desert sands, that she realized his words back then had not come from nowhere. They had done far more than simply meet before.
Unfortunately, Du Ruo only remembered all this after he and Gu Shiqin had parted. He remembered that, as a ruler, the realm came before personal feelings, and as a general, the land mattered more than staying together. So he prayed that in their next life he would have no realm to bear and no homeland to defend, asking only to grow old with her, their hair turning white together.
But, as it happened, he lost her.
[Author's Note]
1. Find me on Weibo at @Na Ge Qinyan. Come chat!
2. The first lifetime draws inspiration from Liu He and Wang Mang. The second has no real-life character references. The place names in the third are either ones I made up or alternate names.
--The following is about the xianxia novel next door, The Yangzhou Crane--
[Brief blurb. For the full version, visit the author's page.]
1. She never belonged in this mortal world. He was the one who insisted on keeping her here.
2. Where in this world could one find a Yangzhou crane? It was all an illusion, like flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon in water.
Theme: If fate doesn't give it to you, seize it by force
It's rare to see a novel written in the first person, but not the narrator and the hero. The idea is very good. The first few chapters are hesitant to say anything, and they all have a "this is a later story" look, much like the writing style of "One Hundred Years of Solitude". If you write it well, it will make readers want to read on. If it is not well written, you will be discouraged and feel that it is a mess. But this work is great. I hope that the following content will live up to such a good foreshadowing. Thank you to the author for creating this work.
The writing is beautiful and the plot is compact. I have collected it. Please share it with me. □□
The heroine is really awkward and pretentious. Being affectionate and constantly hurting her at the same time is the most unappreciable attitude.
Seeing this, Yan Ming is quite cute. However, readers generally like male supporting characters rather than female protagonists.
The writing is very good. Can you add me to share it with me?
