It's been a long time since I've read ancient novels. After a long time, I started reading Gu Liezhi's new article with great pleasure after finishing it, which made me feel depressed all day long. I felt a strong reluctance to let go... I was very reluctant to let it end like this. Before you read it, you may think that the text is quite abstract. What does it mean? After reading it, you will find that it is exactly what the copy said. I would like to call it the infinite flow of ancient sayings. The past and present are narrated in parallel, and the heroine travels between the two timelines to find the truth of that year. It's very well written... Before I read it, I saw someone in the comment section saying, "After reading it, I finally understand why it's called the Book of Yesterday." After reading it, I also understood. It's not uncommon for stories to cross two lines between the past and the future. What surprised me was that the book Yesterday also contained many more. The past and future travel in both directions, but there are still truths that cannot be discerned. When more and more things are known, the truth slowly opens, and it is discovered that it is not just that I don't know because I didn't participate, but that I have lost my memory. I think the heroine's amnesia was handled very well... Almost all speculations were overturned at once. At first, I thought that the male protagonist had a crush on the female protagonist but the two had missed each other. Later, I began to suspect that it was actually just a misunderstanding. The female protagonist went back to the past with obsession and changed the past, so the future of Mu Furong came about. Then I discovered that there was actually a connection in the past. Then I discovered that even if the hearts were connected, Mu Furong was not confessing her feelings, but saying goodbye. The author has buried a lot of foreshadowing throughout the narrative process, and her foreshadowing is not the straightforward "they don't know what will happen in the future now." Her foreshadowing is more like the casual conversation in daily life. You would think that this is just a common conversation in a quiet life, or a normal reaction in an ambiguous period - but it is not the case. When the plot progresses and the truth is revealed, you will find that not a single sentence is a meaningless daily conversation, and every sentence reflects the truth that has not yet been discovered. For example, the casual sentence "It must hurt when a horse tramples your hand, and the entire metacarpal bone will be broken." In fact, it is a metaphor that the heroine has never fallen from a horse, which corresponds to her chaotic and deliberately hidden memories; in the past line at the beginning, the male protagonist has just met the heroine and is having dreams related to the heroine, but it is he who is sitting on the sink and gently brushing the heroine's eyebrows. Talking about erotic dreams, it is not like the descriptions in other novels about this aspect. Some people in the comment area also asked whether it was too OOC after they had only just met. As expected, this was not an erotic dream, but a farewell; including the initial mention that the male protagonist killed a high-ranking official, everyone was repeatedly guessing whether it was for the female protagonist. Even I was wondering why the male protagonist would do such a thing with such a calm temperament, and why he would come back to find the female protagonist after doing such a thing. This is actually inconsistent with his gentlemanly character of not wanting to implicate others. As expected, the murder was caused by the six cycles of being unable to escape that Laba night, so there was no way to avoid it. Only by taking a wrong approach could the heroine be sent to the morning of Laba. And the hibiscus that came back to find the heroine was not a confession of love, but a farewell that he thought was obscure. The ending of this life was that he committed suicide in front of the temple where he grew up. Going around in circles is still consistent with what I thought. I am already guilty and will never implicate the heroine again. There are many more foreshadowings like this. The author is very good at hiding hidden clues. Many plots seem casual or illogical, but that is simply because the truth has not been fully revealed. Very awesome. So I think the author's foreshadowing is very good, and her control of the characters' personalities is also very perfect. It can be said that every character here has made a choice that suits their character. The most powerful thing is probably the portrayal of the male and female protagonists, which was repeated six times and failed again and again. There were repeated deaths and constant torture; the heroine was even imprisoned by her worried family after the cycle was repeated six times, forcing her to forget all of it. I thought about it again a few years later, and once again embarked on the road of reincarnation without hesitation. Including the anxiety and fear caused by the passage of time and the fewer opportunities to cross when the two timelines are repeatedly crossed, they are all described particularly well. I can only say that whether it is the female protagonist or the male protagonist, when they face extreme choices such as cycle and life and death, what they do is consistent with their characters. The heroine never gives up, persists, and is stubborn. It can even be said that she will never look back until she hits a wall. No matter whether she has amnesia or not, she will do it again thousands of times, but she will definitely save the male protagonist. "If I can't see you yesterday again, there is no way I can walk calmly towards tomorrow." So it cycled six times and seven times. As long as there was a trace of memory, he would go back to that snowy night again. He would rather be tortured and die than leave the male protagonist to move forward alone. The male protagonist does not have so many looped memories like the female protagonist. It is more like he resolutely and resolutely goes to the end of dying to protect the female protagonist without knowing it. And all this did not change after he had the looping memory. "I know that in front of me is fate, but behind me is you." I know that I will die before me, but in order to protect you, I will never retreat or escape. I think they are determined to each other and will never live alone without each other. In the future timeline, in the eyes of the heroine's family, and in the eyes of everyone, the hero is an exiled murderer. Only the two of them know how many times they will have to change the past and the future again in the future... This kind of obstruction from family members and the incomprehension of the world forms a sharp contrast with the bright future of the past timeline, and makes the desperate two-way journey of the male and female protagonists very valuable and difficult. What a sense of fate... And this relationship is not just a simple teenage love. I think the best thing is actually the foreshadowing of the male protagonist's feelings for the female protagonist. He started earlier, in his youth. In my opinion, the male protagonist is not so much aloof or calm, I think he is more like a very calm person. In fact, the reason why he survived was more because he once met the heroine, and he made a promise in his heart to "try to be a gentleman." He didn't want to die, it was just that he didn't want that much. To him, I think the existence of the heroine is like a beam of light that can survive and support himself. It has such meaning. From this perspective, I think he is actually very serious about the heroine. Watching the extras and the details of daily interactions, he often puts his arms around the heroine, kisses her gently, and she clings to him; but I feel that he can't live without her. All his feelings and all his initiatives are because there is a heroine at the end of that road. It's different from the one at the beginning where you don't get close to strangers. In fact, the male protagonist is not stiff and clumsy at all. On the contrary, he is very gentle and good at falling in love. The author likes to describe the male protagonist blinking when he is thinking, which makes me feel that he is particularly lively and cute when he is with the female protagonist. The heroine's character is also very cute, a little reckless, a little bit bratty, straight forward and clever, a very cute little sunshine. Good to eat. I really like the despair but not giving up when two people encounter a desperate situation. Even if there is no way out, I will never let go of your hand. Especially the first cycle, Laba Night, the despair of the two people who are tortured by fate and cannot escape no matter what, and the heroine's gritted teeth and unwillingness, come again and again, I feel so moved... This kind of emotional outpouring is so well described... I like the heroine so much, she is too strong and resilient. The daughter of a wealthy businessman, a wealthy lady who has never experienced hardship since she was a child, is so tenacious. She will not hesitate to beat the drum for the person she likes, even if she loses her painting hands; for the future of the person she loves, she will never give up even if she runs and struggles with all her strength. The best thing about yesterday's writing is that it's not the kind of cool writing that I can succeed as long as I don't give up. I prefer that the male and female protagonists have also fallen into extreme despair and helplessness, such gushing and somewhat negative feelings🥹 The only regret is probably that it's too short. It's too short, so it's easier to defeat the boss, and the characterization of other characters isn't as deep as the male and female protagonists. In fact, I think there are a few supporting characters that are very interesting. In fact, they could all be described with more effort. It is a pity that it is difficult to describe in 370,000 words. It's a bit regretful, but it's good now. The daily physical contact of the young couple is really very natural and cute... It is rare to have a pure heartbeat feeling🥹The ending is also very successful, just like the camera zooming out and slowly photographing everyone's ending. All the regrets in the past life no longer exist, everyone is full of hope towards tomorrow, doing what they want to do. Even though we are far apart, everyone is starting to write their own hopeful books for tomorrow in the new year. Very nice.
This book deserves 5 stars. It is a suspense, rebirth, sc, and plot-heavy book. The author's writing style is very good. Many of the pits buried in the front have been filled in at the back, and the lines are connected one after another without feeling separated. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it. If you want to simply watch Cookie, it's not suitable. In fact, there are very few sweet parts. The two of them are separated most of the time. In the end, it ends after a few sweet chapters. It's very suitable to be made into a TV series, but I feel that some of the treatments are a bit vague, as to what the reason for rebirth is. The male protagonist is indeed very good, and it is true love. Seeing that there is no possibility for the female protagonist and him, I wish him well and then... Anyway, it's pretty good. Worth a look.
My favorite novel this year, I hope it becomes a hit. The hero and heroine went back to the past six times for the first time and burst into tears. 😭 😭 The young couple must always be happy
Don't be afraid of copywriting, it's super awesome!!! No loss in investing!!!!
The best novel I have read this year
I saw the publication mark ah ah ah ah ah
It's so beautiful, the male protagonist is so gentle, and those Laba nights where the male and female protagonists are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other made me burst into tears 😭
A very heart-warming book, thank you very much to the author
Very delicately written! It's been a long time since I've read a novel in one sitting. Two little bitter gourds finally changed everyone's fate by rushing to each other😭Although there are not many words, each character is vivid, vivid and powerful!
It looks good, I will definitely give it a second try
