Pairing: A fledgling, naive heroine from the late Ming dynasty x a ruthless American capitalist from the early 20th century
Concise blurb:
Watch as a chivalrous heroine, warmhearted and sworn to fight evil, transmigrates to the early 20th century and tames a selfish, ruthless capitalist.
A few warnings up front: The male lead is not a virgin. After meeting the female lead, he is devoted to her alone.
The male lead's words and actions may be off-putting early on. He needs the female lead to set him straight before he becomes a loyal, principled sweetheart.
In the later chapters, the leads break through shackles and prejudice together and find their way to each other.
This novel focuses on the growth of the two leads. The heroine won't suffer. If anyone is going to suffer, it'll be the hero, so read without worry~
The serious blurb starts here
The 1910s.
It was the best of times: the Western world's middle and upper classes enjoyed the most affluent lives they could imagine.
It was the worst of times: two-thirds of the world's population still lived under exploitation and oppression.
It was the age of wisdom: inventions that would shape the future sprang up one after another, while the two brightest jewels of human civilization, science and art, shone together with unprecedented brilliance.
It was the age of foolishness: cruel conquest and barbaric slaughter stained the lands of countless ancient civilizations.
The 1910s.
People were setting out on the road to heaven, and people were approaching the gates of hell.
The empire's light was doing its utmost to cast its last rays, while no dawn could yet be seen for the new order. Everyone was lost in false prosperity, unaware that the old world was on the verge of collapse.
Bijun, a girl raised deep in the mountains, transmigrated from the late Ming dynasty. Stranded on the streets of London in the winter of 1912, she was swept without warning into the torrent of history. What fate would await her...
The Titanic is only part of the backdrop. It won't be the whole story, and the plot won't follow the movie exactly.
The heroine transmigrates to a foreign country in the modern era without a language barrier. Let's just say that's a golden finger I added because I was being lazy ^+^
The blurb was inspired by Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities. A tribute to a literary giant.
That's all the advice I can think of for now. I'll add more if anything else comes to mind.
Theme: Love can change the world
The author's combined Chinese and Western articles of that era are both very literary and imaginative, and also have a sense of the times. They don't make people look ridiculous. They are a newly discovered treasure. I support them!
I particularly like the combination of Chinese and Western articles. It is not easy to see the author step by step. I'm done spreading flowers, and I'll continue to follow the next book. I hope the author will get better and better
I saved a lot of them and read them all in one go. I'm really looking forward to it. The male and female protagonists have been growing up and growing up with the trend of the times. I feel that this article is more than just a fanfic, and it depicts a different and better Karl. The heroine is also great. Really, This is the best of times, this is the worst of times.
Want to watch the extra story about Bijun returning to the mountain?
Are there any extras? I want to watch the extras about mixed race people
T T I'm really sorry for all the little cuties who are following this article. I suddenly took on a very urgent job. I will stop updating for two days on Friday and Saturday. I will update twice on Sunday. I'm sorry.
The author's writing is pretty good, I thought it was going to be a sadomasochistic love story where the heroine is tortured deeply. Unexpectedly, the male protagonist chose a more difficult path, which actually made the love between the male and female protagonists more clear.
I thought this couple could make it right. I liked Meyer more at first, but now I like Miss Hopps more. She is also growing up.
I don't really like Pauline following her to Los Angeles. It would be okay if she went to New York, as it would be brought to the male and female lead's territory and they can be covered. I went to Los Angeles, a place that even the heroine was unfamiliar with and even dangerous, and I rashly brought a girl with me (to put it bluntly, I was a drag). In case of danger, the heroine's skills can definitely handle it on her own. Bringing a girl with no martial arts skills just adds another weakness... It's good to want to help girls get out of trouble, but it's really not appropriate to take someone to Los Angeles. I feel that the heroine is causing trouble for herself when she has nothing to do. She is indeed a bit like a virgin as mentioned downstairs.
Yes, yes, Miss Hopps, please fly freely, this Meyer did it on purpose, he wants to break your wings to be his canary wife, but this is impossible!
