It's so good. I read Bai Xue Ge last year and subscribed to this book but put it on hold. I recently spent three or four days reading it. It's very good and the plot is smooth. I don't feel like it's packed with words. The poems I quoted make the story more beautiful. I like this artistic conception. After all, it's an ancient romance. It's so normal to use poetry. In addition, the characters also like Wuwuwuwu, they are all very good, but there are still many female characters who are so miserable. Qiu Xueyu is so miserable. It should have been smooth, his father Qiu Fang, and Liu Fuliang are also like good people. Hey, it is so sad that he did not have to suffer so much. And Zhang Buyun, I understand that she felt guilty because the letter was stolen, but it was all other people's fault. If there hadn't been Luowei's temptation, maybe she could have just planned to kill that bitch Lu Heng. The queen is so miserable, even though she doesn't even have a name. Song Zhiyu was so miserable, she almost survived. I really hope she can be happy. Sui Yun was also very good. It was all Song Lan's fault that he was too sick. Everyone could have been in peace and quiet. Then Luo Wei and Song Lingye were so miserable. They didn't have to go through all this, but luckily everything went smoothly later on. Speaking of which, I'm glad this is a novel. I'm also a relatively idealistic person, so I can accept a smooth ending. A smoother ending would be good, but it's a pity that some characters died in the middle to keep the "Tao". I still hope they can be happy [burst crying]
I don't know why, but I shed more tears when reading this novel than any other. Maybe it's because I like this setting too much, and the empathy is so deep. The author writes very well, and he also dabbles in poetry a lot. He quotes classics and makes it a masterpiece.
Too cruel. . . Too cruel. . . . I thought it was a sweet article. . . . I really can't stand it anymore as I get older. . . I've never done anything bad and I'm just a good person. How could I be abused like this? . . . [Crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] collapse. I want to read this sweet and sweet article right away [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] Save I never dare to touch this author's book again [crying] [crying]
Is it going to be filmed? Can you choose a male and female lead with good acting skills, otherwise it would be too wasteful and heartbreaking [please]
The writing is very good, just stick to your own writing style. Ci Tang is a rough and hazy but beautiful story. I love the characters and the narration. Stick to your ideal and beautiful original intention and keep going.
The author's writing style is really good, and this book is also very good, but it's just too sad. I kept crying [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying]
Damn, I really can't laugh anymore, why is this all such a tragedy? [Crying]
After reading this article, I feel like revisiting Nirvana in Fire
"Citang" blooms in intrigue and love The story begins with the thrilling "Assassination" case on Yuan Ye in the third year of Tianshou. The crown prince was assassinated during a sacrificial ceremony, and his body was not found. After that, the family rebelled, and the prince Song Lan was pushed to the throne and became a puppet. Su Luowei, who came from a famous family and was childhood sweetheart with the prince, resolutely married Song Lan in order to investigate the truth, quell the coup and protect the prince's younger brother, and devoted herself to helping him consolidate the throne. But as fate would have it, Su Luowei was shocked to learn that Song Lan was actually the culprit in the assassination case. She felt deceived and unintentionally became an accomplice, so she determined to take revenge. She set her sights on Ye Tingyan, Song Lan's most respected official. But she didn't know that Ye Tingyan was the crown prince who had escaped from death and returned after disguising himself. The characters in the book are vivid and three-dimensional. Su Luowei is smart and tenacious. In the complex and dangerous palace struggles, she relies on her extraordinary resourcefulness and courage to deal with it. She is determined to avenge the prince. She has a clear sense of love and hate. She does not flinch in the face of betrayal and the truth. Ye Tingyan, the former crown prince, is upright and upright. After experiencing life and death and identity changes, his inner perseverance and obsession with revenge are intertwined, making his image more full and complex. On the one hand, he wanted to hide his identity and plot revenge, but on the other hand, he fell into emotional entanglements and confusion because of Su Luowei's overtures. From his initial suspicion to his later deep love for Su Luowei, his emotional changes were delicate and real. In terms of the intertwining of machinations and emotions, "Citang" is a masterpiece. In the court, various forces are vying with each other, and the struggle for power is turbulent. The author vividly depicts the complexity and cruelty of the political struggle. Every power game and every strategy is exciting. On the emotional line, the love between Su Luowei and Ye Tingyan is full of twists and turns. In the early stage, they tested each other, one approached for revenge, and the other was on guard due to suspicion. As the story progresses, the truth gradually emerges, and the relationship between the two also heats up amidst many hardships. This kind of love in the context of intrigue becomes even more valuable. In addition, the five-element writing skills are profound, and the ancient language style complements the fictional historical background. Phrases such as "Orchid, laurel, pineapple, and plum blossoms are all gentlemen" and "Eight hardships in this world are accompanied by sentimentality" not only add to the cultural heritage of the novel, but also vividly show the characters' mood and emotions. Part of the plot in the book is based on Li He's poems, such as "The Fake Dragon Song" and "The Golden Bronze Immortal's Chinese Song", etc., Adding a unique poetic and mysterious color to the story. "Citang" is not just a simple romance novel. It depicts a turbulent fictional world and shows the struggle and choices of human nature in the face of power, love, and hatred. It not only adheres to and forges idealism, but also exposes and criticizes the dark reality. Whether it is a wonderful power struggle or a touching love story, readers will be immersed in it and have endless aftertaste.
Finished the chase. It looks great. Thank you author.
