Strange Gems in Your Books
I read a bit of everything, but not BL. Anything I remember enjoying goes on this list. Updating as I go.
Stories Loved by Old-School Readers
I don't like danmei or straightforward romance. I like female leads who have their own identity and career, with just a touch of romance.
Period Dramas I Loved Back in the Day
BG with happy endings. I value logic and writing quality, and reject pocket dimensions and magical springs. Almost everything is a five-star recommendation, but I cannot rate them due to platform restrictions. Reviews are being updated slowly
Great Reads, Both BL and BG

I finished the story. It was a very heavy story. I wanted to give up the story several times while reading it because I wanted to read a novel and just wanted to read something light and refreshing. Obviously, this article was not easy to read. Most period stories revolve around the heroine, a married couple getting along, raising children to study and living a good life, and then going to college to start a business, so that the family can be happy and peaceful. But this article is not. Although the main point of view is the female protagonist, as the female protagonist goes to join the army, most of the events still revolve around the male protagonist. Thinking about how difficult it is to be a military wife, the female protagonist also reflects several times in the article. In that era, women seemed to have a lot of helplessness when they married, especially when they married a soldier. The male protagonist in the article concealed his identity from the beginning, even though he wrote He has too many difficulties, but for his family with the heroine, he was unqualified from the beginning. He has a lot of helplessness. For the country, his comrades, and his relatives and friends, he always seems to have too many responsibilities that he is unwilling to give up. But just because he takes over everything, then all the grievances and grievances can only be resolved by the heroine. Otherwise, what can he do? As an independent woman in the new era, the heroine does not have to marry the hero if she is not in that special era, so I think she has suffered a lot of injustices for the heroine. This is why I said that since joining the army, all the events have revolved around the hero, while the heroine can only be trapped in the family village. The male protagonist is also a very divided person. Obviously, as a husband and father, he is not perfect, and he always owes something to the family, but he is also a very good and loyal person to the country. At first, he was absolutely loyal to his boss, but then he gradually began to have doubts. From then on, he focused entirely on his family, began to slowly plan for himself, and began to trust the female protagonist. This may be the reason why their relationship became deeper later. When I first read it, I was very confused. The male protagonist is very powerful as mentioned in the article, but he is just a battalion commander. Later, I realized that it was a big chess game, and I began to understand another meaning expressed in the article. The mountains are difficult to overcome. The heroine and the male protagonist obviously worked their way up from the bottom. It was also because of the outstanding loyalty of the male protagonists that they were able to overcome the mountains and achieve the goal. There was a class jump, but the supporting characters in the article were not so lucky. Doctor Tang's family and Xu Xinglin did not cross the mountain, but chose another path out of frustration. Another example is Mr. Lu, who experienced peaks but finally retreated. It can be seen that everyone's choices will affect their destiny. There is no such thing as having the cake and eat it too, and of course he deserves it. As for those who are deeper and higher, there is no need to talk about it. To borrow a sentence from Political Commissar Yao, it can be seen that ordinary people still cannot stir up the situation. My favorite supporting character is Jiang Huai. He always loves his family, knows what he wants, and seizes every opportunity. Such people will not have a bad life. After reading the ending, I expressed the frustration I felt while reading the novel. Yes, it feels aggrieved from the perspective of ordinary people. I felt for the heroine who was limited by her family, and for the male protagonist who was limited by his family and country's ambitions. I lamented for the supporting characters at the cruelty that the times have inflicted on them. In the end, I can only say that fortunately the male and female protagonists love each other, so they are willing to bear everything in life. After all, no life is perfect. Everyone is just a grain of sand in the wheel of history. Everyone can only adapt to the times and choose a suitable way to live their life.
It's a pity that the heroine has a degree, but maybe experiencing love, hate, and resentment is also a kind of growth.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful and well-written period article. I read it in one sitting and even cried in the middle. I'm very glad to live in a peaceful age like today.
Wow, ah, ah, ah, I finished reading it. Why do I remember that there are more than 170 chapters? Haha, it's really good to read. I also like the protagonist's family. Every supporting character is not dull. I really want to see the follow-up. I want to see Xinxin show off his skills. I want to see Brother Chang again. I also want to see the follow-up of Brother. I want to see the follow-up of many people. Good novels always give me a feeling that although the story is over, their lives are still going on. I hope everyone is doing well ~ Sahua
After watching it, it was very interesting. I really want to watch the extras. I haven't seen enough of Huo Ming and Huo Yan's growth. What happened to Xu Xinglin? How is the development of the three big dogs of Jianghuai and Hou? I hope to make this article a long one haha
In the past week or so, I have read this book twice. Fifty years have passed, and the happiness and bitterness of many people have been blown away by the wind. Reading this book, I seem to see the past of my grandparents and parents, and I feel like I have lived a special period of life with the people in the book. Thank you, author. I can see your true experiences and feelings about life in your words, and I also read a lot of indescribable peace and warmth.
Well written. It's a pity that I didn't continue, but not giving an explanation is also an explanation.
It's still a bit of a pity. Although you have gone to college, others don't know that you went to college in your previous life. In the future, they will only think that the heroine is uneducated. There are only two times when people in society can take the college entrance examination. From now on, they will have to be fresh graduates. And if you go to college, you can also choose other majors. In this era, there are many opportunities if you go to college
It's quite good-looking. The description of that era is vivid and the human nature is very realistic. The slight flaws do not affect the overall quality of the article.
The writing is very beautiful, the struggle and growth of the little characters are heavy yet hopeful.
