[Blurb]
When the soldiers arrived at the Xie residence with an order to confiscate the family estate, Xie Xi, the Eleventh, was sitting by the window doing her makeup, wondering which set of jewelry to wear for her date with Yang Jian.
Her mother pushed her into the group of servants, saving her from execution but not from being sold off and cast adrift.
Eight years later, when she returned to the capital, the first old acquaintance she saw was Yang Jian.
She heard people sneering as they discussed the Yang family's rise to prominence: every noble young man in the Yang family had climbed over a mound of Xie family corpses.
--
Yang Jian was one of the emperor's most trusted attack dogs.
Others cursed him as a shameless sycophant, but did not dare offend him in the slightest.
Only Zhou Mingyu would deceive and use him, hiding a cold dagger in her sleeve while pretending to say she loved him.
She thought she had hidden it well.
But, Eleventh Lady, this capital is full of blades and frost. Now that you've left, why come back?
But, Eleventh Lady, I miss you so much.

[Blurb for the upcoming novel The Goddess and the Azure Lion]
The Goddess Tonghua had an unfulfilled wish. Without telling anyone, she secretly descended to the mortal world and spent some time among humans.
The mortal world of Cangzhou was in the midst of turmoil, and there she met Duan Yulou.
They spent half a lifetime together, half a lifetime by each other's side, half a lifetime growing apart, and half a lifetime nursing resentment. They traveled together for more than twenty years but never found a happy ending.
Tonghua had always been quick to take revenge. Even after returning to Heaven, she refused to let go of these mortal grievances.
After more than three hundred years of obsession, she finally saw the people from her past again.
Some had become wandering ghosts, some had changed their names and hidden themselves away, some had fallen into the mud with their pride shattered, and some had achieved success and never spoke of the past.
At last, Duan Yulou stood before her.
--
After Duan Yulou died and returned to his divine station, he learned that the young woman he had once met in the mortal world was none other than the famed Goddess Tonghua of Dingshi Continent.
The goddess loved power, had a colorful romantic past, and did not have the best reputation.
After thinking it over, Duan Yulou decided it was best not to discuss their past lives with her again, lest she cling to him and make things impossible to resolve.
Only later did he realize he had underestimated the situation.
Before he became Duan Yulou, and behind Tonghua's inexplicable stubbornness, lay the promise he had once made to love her for a lifetime.

Theme: Justice will prevail, and the truth will see the light of day.
I think the collection is really too small. It's a very excellent long ancient novel! The plot is logically coherent, the description is not cumbersome, and every sentence has a point. If you skip a sentence, you may miss the key plot! The relationship between the male and female protagonists is sincere and moving, and the interaction is tense. The deputy CP does not have much ink, and the ending is disappointing... Yang Sanlang and Xie Liuniang, Yang Liulang and Xie Jiuniang... Made me cry to death. The little princess's paranoia was unrequited, Yang Ji's graceful innocence, Zhu girl's strategizing, Song Dutong's kindness and gratitude were also impressive... The author creates constant climaxes in a few interactive scenes with limited time and small scenes, and the rhythm is tight. There are many characters appearing in the full text, with complex relationships, flesh and blood and their own goals. The main line of the story is clear. It revolves around the return of the heroine to find the truth. The story is unfolded from the perspective of the heroine. The heroine is no longer the backdrop for revenge plots. Appropriate use of flashbacks, interludes and multi-perspective narratives enhances the interest of the story and will not make it boring. In the early stage, there were less scene descriptions and more characters, and the rhythm was chaotic and tight. In contrast, the middle stage seemed a bit too loose. In the later stage, the intensive dialogue decreased, the emotional lines increased, and the scene descriptions were rich and tight, and the progress was obvious. The rhythm of the first few chapters was a bit chaotic, but the author got better and better as he continued to write. The Jinzhou tracing scene in the later stages was already very good, and the several twists and turns at the end made me, an old reader who is used to this kind of writing, applaud. The whole text has the color of a tragedy. In the end, it is unclear whether everyone's position is right or wrong. There are almost no absolutely innocent characters except the heroine. Looking back at the heroine in the end, she wonders if she regrets starting this journey of pursuing the truth... The ratio of emotional lines to plot lines in the full text is 2:3 (a little more emotional lines would be better, I like the interaction between the male and female protagonists so much). The male protagonist is a loyal and big dog in all aspects, and the female protagonist is tolerant, smart and kind but not a virgin. Several interactive scenes in the middle and later stages made my heart beat like a steely woman. From the initial mutual testing to the willing sinking in the middle and later stages and the occasional flashback to the sweetness of the past, it was really heartwarming... A great piece of work. At the end of the story, the heroine got the truth but was unable to fulfill her original wish to clear the name of the Xie family. The hero, for justice and the heroine's wish, inevitably involved the whole family in escaping from prison... It makes people feel sad. Fortunately, when the crabapple flowers bloomed next year, they put aside the past and met under the tree. They were still the same girls of the Xie family and Yang Jialang back then~ The biggest feeling after reading the full text is sincerity. The author's sincere creative expression and love for each character. The plot line is relatively simple but the logic is clear, with suspense and reversal. The overall completion level is very high. I hope the author writes better and better! (Please give me a side story about the young couple, woo woo woo)
I have never seen such a painful HE. I felt like I was about to have a heart attack after reading it? Why is it so painful? The if line didn't even give me relief?
It's so well written. It's really not easy for them to maintain a relationship like this. It was obvious that a young couple could get married as teenagers and stay together until they grow old, but in the end they just "just wanted to meet once". I think that although the ending is not written as a sweet ending, it is still very warm when written this way. Both of them are determined. The heroine is here to guard the hero and live her life firmly, and the hero finally stands firmly under the crabapple tree. The ending I guess is that the two of them are like this, not married and have no children, but they have identified each other. The heroine is doing small business in the city, and when she has something to do, she goes out for a walk outside the city. The male protagonist comes to see the female protagonist every few days or stays for one night, and continues to live like this.
So the sword Yang Fu brought to his wife was the one given by his third brother? Ah, what I want to ask is that Yang Fu took the sword to snatch the bride after Jiu Niang was tortured for five years. I really agree with what Yuan said. He had selfish love. Why didn't he snatch her earlier? Late affection is stronger than grass... That couple of Sanliu is really pitiable. Success is Sanniang's temperament, and failure is Sanniang's temperament. I think the ending of the male and female protagonists is quite good. For such a crime, forcing innocence and happiness ruins the whole setting of the story. Great support from the author, I look forward to seeing better articles!
Thinking of the knife in the back, I really want to cry to death here!
It was so perfect, obviously very happy, but it felt even better to cry. If nothing had happened to the Xie family, they would have been together so smoothly. The missed years, the two people walking alone in pain and loneliness, could have never existed.
It can only be said that the family is on the wrong track, and individuals are horribly insignificant in it.
To throw a tantrum, can you order a welfare extra for all members? [Let me be healthy]
This sweet ending comforted my sadness a little, especially I felt it was such a pity for Xie Liu Niang and Yang San
The group portraits are quite plump, and the final ending is that the Xie family is not innocent, which is unexpected and reasonable. It is ridiculous and very reasonable. It would be nice if there were more love lines between the male and female protagonists in the second half
