The roots I planted were too deep and they couldn't dig them to the end, so they used an ax to cut them off violently.
The crown of my tree was too lush. They thought it was difficult to carry it, so they removed all the branches and leaves.
The flower pot prepared for me was not too big or too small - just big enough to hold a bare stick.
Tips from the front row:
1. The Old Tree Becomes a Spirit Series, a companion volume to "Apricot Kernel"
2. The author is cruel and ruthless, and the protagonist has a tragic fate, so he cannot accept any criticism.
3. There is a small amount of imperial examination; there are ghosts but not many, mainly writing about people
4. The author changed his pen name. Although he doesn't have many regular readers, he still writes it down.
Supernatural/ancient stories/a fable
Isolated, but the place names, official positions and imperial examination system are basically based on the mid-late Ming Dynasty
Concept: Everyone is like a scene in a basin, and you don't know yourself when you are in the basin.
