Supplementary Records of a Tang Official

Nice! It was a bit slow at the beginning, and I only got into it after I picked it up for the second time, but I felt that the writing was very strong, the rhythm was good, the relationship between the court and court was not simplistic, and the characters and relationships were well developed. The relationship between the male and female protagonists, between Jiang Nian and his elder peers, and between Yun Jian and his sisters were all exciting and tense. Especially the part where Jiang Shouche returned to Chang'an to blame Jiang Nian made me sad and touched. Waiting for more updates, hoping to read this story in its entirety!

It's so heartbreaking, how could someone so talented stop writing 😭

It feels like it's ready for publication when it's finished. . . Maybe it will be adapted into a drama!!! It's a really interesting story. The setting is delicious and the plot is fulfilling... Our eunuch literature is really born at the wrong time🥹

Very, very well written. . . When will you be back?

Author, why was "The Eunuch Wanted to Have a Caregiver" included in the "Black History" column? I remember it was quite good.

!! There's a cover! Hahaha congratulations ('▽')

I don't know if I will have a chance to see the end of this article. This is my only obsession in Jinjiang now. I have read the full text at least six or seven times, and I always miss it. I am selling Amway everywhere. It seems that I should solemnly set up an inscription here and write something to let the author know a little bit. "Tang Huan Supplement", a wise name, naturally carries a sense of compassion that is reflected in the long history of looking back. This is good news for readers like me who are obsessed with the vicissitudes of history. I didn't expect that in addition to the interpersonal relationships around the two protagonists, the complex relationships between eunuchs and courtiers, the clans and the Han people, and even the conflicts between Hu and Han, and the conflicts between the court and the feudal towns, could be written concisely and interestingly in just a few strokes. In short, enough respect for the complexity of history. The plot is full, the group portraits are good, and the aftertaste is endless. It is so rich that I am willing to believe that there was such a period of history, but it is only now seen again. Historical literacy is not only the superposition of historical knowledge, but also the respect for human nature and historical complexity. It is the author's impartiality or even indifference to power struggles, political forces and historical waves. (To put it this way, I am looking forward to "The Love of the Wind" even more (cover your mouth! Eat the food in the bowl and look at the food in the pot) At first glance, I felt that the emotional direction at the beginning was a bit abrupt, but after repeated readings, I felt that everything in the article was appropriate and well-measured. In the article "Intimate Person", I have already felt the author's extremely delicate and realistic grasp of psychological and emotional details, such as why the heroine left at that time. Some people won't notice these subtle feelings and just think of it as a routine for chasing a wife. If someone like me with excess Fi writes it, it will only lay out too many emotions, while if an upright person writes it, it will just become slogans. But the author has a good sense of emotional proportion, especially in this article. They are an ordinary and lovely young couple, reserved but not alienated, equal but not arrogant. The writing is restrained just right, and only touches the emotions at critical moments. It makes people feel itchy, but any more will make them feel tired. In fact, what I like most about this article is that Jiang Nian's personality and life are unfolding and have not yet been finalized. There was nothing tragic or cruel, nor was it so hard and indestructible. Jiang Nian had only received the blessings of justice in the world by chance in such an ordinary life. He walked forward silently, and was inspired to raise his head. Although he was in a broken and uneasy body, and the world around him was turbulent, he finally wanted to reach out and grab something, whether it was personal love or justice. Jiang Nian is sometimes self-doubting and sometimes complacent, easily shaken, and confused about his future expectations. Yun Jian's grass and trees are all soldiers, self-pitying about his life experience and being devoted to enlightenment, all of which are turbulent and tender. Therefore, depression and hope coexist, fear and courage coexist. The former, one of my favorite scenes, is the moment when Jiang Nian defeated his political opponents and came out of the palace to look up to the sky. He should have been satisfied, but the long-term turnover and uneasiness of his family and country made him just sigh. Really, it has the aesthetic feeling of "sorrow comes out of nowhere" as I understand it in Jian'an literature, and sadness is like the essence of life. In the latter, my favorite scene is when Yun Jian teases Jiang Nian and says, "You are not allowed to laugh like this." The latter thinks it has crossed the line and puts his little hand behind his back, but the former says, "You really look like a rabbit when you smile like this. I'm afraid someone will take you away and roast you." So cute, very effective and fun flirting. Without these moments, the long road would be nothing but tragic drama (scolding myself for what I wrote). Therefore, young people are still walking on the road, but they will experience various desires and disappointments. I really like this sense of proportion. I am a reader of the "eunuch" theme. What surprised me in this regard is that the author did see the group of eunuchs rather than individuals. This is an advantage that most novels do not have. First of all, because the author seems to be able to describe to me what the normal state of eunuch politics was like in an era when eunuchs were relatively strongly involved in politics, which is rare. Secondly, because in the article they themselves also discussed with each other how people with their status should live - as slaves and as subjects. There is a struggle in this. In other words, this still seemingly immature article alone provides a group of political portraits of eunuchs, which are rich enough to form a comparison group: Jiang Nian, who is worried and restrained, gentle and resourceful, and still eager to repay the emperor's kindness; Xu Zhang, a co-worker who was brave and fired arrows to quell the chaos; Jiang Shouhe, an adoptive father who was stern, arrogant and powerful, but was eventually disheartened by the fear of the Heavenly Family; Huai Xiu, an ugly and lively friend who did not want eunuchs to take over too much power. ——They have completely different personalities and different political attitudes. It's really exciting and I'm looking forward to the follow-up development. Of course, at this point in this article, I like it enough to almost dismiss it as unpublishable. Although it has not many readers, it is still beautiful in its own right. Another unpopular work with the same theme that I think is so good is "Da Ming West Factory". But I still have a glimmer of hope and want to read more stories about Jiang Nian and Yun Jian. I want to see how this vague image with the posthumous title "Yin" in the history pages unfolds into this warm person that we can touch, and how it returns to the "last resort" lover who once walked a long and slow road with Yun Jian. I have read it many times, and every time I want to correct the author's typos and incoherent sentences, but I am afraid that it will only cause more trouble. I wanted to write a long review for a long time, but I felt that I didn't know where to start on such a complicated aspect, so I put it off until now. So be it. To commemorate. Best wishes to the author.

So when will the wife come back to update? This article is really my favorite. (??)

Is your wife still writing? I'm really looking forward to the follow-up.

Jiangnian qwq, the situation is a bit difficult, I hope I won't get hurt again when I come back. Wait for more qwq
