In Jiangnan there was a famous courtesan named Yu Qingtu. He was a master of the qin, and so breathtakingly handsome that his beauty was unmatched.
He was flirtatious and knew how to beguile people. He delighted in watching men fight over him, even to the point of destroying their families, while he leaned by the window and watched the spectacle with relish.
People called him a second Daji, a symbol of decadence and debauchery. Even if the Three Pure Ones were right there, he would dare to approach and strike a pose to entice them.
By chance, Ming Jinzhao came to this place of pleasure. But the famous courtesan, who couldn't resist a handsome man, changed expression and fled in a panic at the sight of him.
Ming Jinzhao: "Why won't you look at me?"
Yu Qingtu: "I'm tired of looking."
Ming Jinzhao: "What?"
Yu Qingtu: "I've been staring at you for a thousand years. I don't want to look anymore."
A bewitching beauty who plays hard to get, pursued by an upright gentleman.
Old-school tragic romance, both virgins, short story, past and present lives, bad ending.
Writing this on a whim, so please add it to your reading list!
Please add my upcoming novel, Has the Celestial Emperor Gone to Hell Yet?, to your reading list.
Yan Chen is the supreme Celestial Emperor of the Nine Heavens. He has no compassion for the suffering of others, only a chilling strength and coldness.
Su Xing still remembers how dazzling and tender Yan Chen was when they first met, and he remembers just as clearly Yan Chen's merciless cruelty when he turned against him.
Su Xing coughs up blood again. Before he can hastily wipe the blood from between his fingers, Yan Chen sneers coldly: "The Empress's acting just keeps getting better."
Su Xing gives a soft smile and simply hums in agreement.
Later, Su Xing coughs up blood even more violently.
The immortal physician says his body is already riddled with damage and he has been poisoned. Even as an ancient god, there's nothing they can do to save him.
The cold-blooded, heartless Celestial Emperor goes mad, searching across the Three Realms for a life-saving cure.
As Yan Chen searches from the highest heavens to the deepest underworld, battered and bruised like a dog, Su Xing tries to console him: "You hate me to the bone, and I'm about to perish. You should be happy."
To his surprise, Yan Chen only cries harder.
Su Xing patiently teaches him: "Come on, smile."
After all, ever since he learned how little time he had left, he had been smiling.
Intensely angsty, mutual heartbreak, melodramatic, short story.
Theme: Treasure the people around you and love the world.
BE is as it should be. (Wry smile) (The following content is purely subjective, please forgive me for the possible emotional output. I know I should leave quietly, but I still choose to leave a comment, largely because I want to remember my mood of following the article at the moment. If you feel it is inappropriate to report or delete the comment, I will not bother you.) 1. I'm really happy to see the update when I come back tonight. The previous story has been well prepared, so I've been looking forward to it. Although it's annoying that the author suddenly stopped updating without taking leave, I didn't have any negative emotions because of it this time. When I opened the update directory and found that three chapters had been added, I was pleasantly surprised. 2. I actually prefer to follow up steadily - of course it is undeniable that other readers should be very satisfied with the author releasing a copy/story completely at once. And when I clicked on the main text, I suddenly understood why the author chose the latter between stable daily updates or one-time release of plots related to the past... At least for me, if I only saw some chapters recalling the past during the update process, I would be directly thrown away (although it is not much better now. But for most readers who are not resistant to this kind of plot, it is a good experience) 3. Although it seems to be a joke, I have almost never used this kind of evaluation to others, but I can only summarize my impressions of these three chapters as: as if I have been robbed. One is the change of perspective. The sudden switch to first person is a bit unexpected. (Personally, I never read first-person stories, so reading these three chapters was too difficult for me. I tried several times but couldn't read them in detail. I just finished it because I wanted to understand the past too much.) - I understand and agree with the author trying more different things in his creative process, but I also want to express my regret a little. The second is character creation. Anyway, I think there is a big difference between before and after, including dialogue style, character lines, etc. It doesn't feel like the previous Qing Tu would use it. Even the two images of Ming and Jin Dynasty give people completely different feelings. (I know this can be explained. After all, the characters "grow" because of different experiences, and the short story will not have the opportunity to describe this period of change. Even if I know this, I still feel a little disconnected.) - These two lives are like two completely different CP combinations. It is difficult for me to equate them. The third is the plot logic. I really like the early foreshadowing and I am really looking forward to it. But once the past plot came out, expectations were filled with disappointment. I felt that the descriptions of knives were vaguely related. What I wanted was the refreshing feeling of waving them and bringing blood and tears, but the actual viewing gave me a bucket of cold water - I couldn't understand and couldn't respect them (referring to the character's behavior). It can be seen that the author made many "patches" to the plot in order to rationalize Shou's behavior and highlight the abuse. But looking back at the most basic behavioral logic of the characters, it is just a drama about falling in love and asking the common people to accompany them - even, maybe because my reading was too rough, I didn't feel how much the two of them were in love... The biggest mistake is to do it knowingly. I would feel that with such an emotional line, I would not be sorry for the people who were implicated - even if the two protagonists have been tortured for ten lives because of it. 4. The part about Onirou-kun is really attractive to me. Also mentioned in previous comments. That kind of knife that is regretful but not sharp and painful will make people care about it uncontrollably. 5. In fact, when Qing Tu felt uncomfortable because of Ming Jin Chao's breakthrough, I had a little bit of a bad feeling. But my love for BE and sadomasochism still keeps me looking forward to the follow-up development. It has been obvious from the beginning that the relationship between the two is not forced by the existence of a third person, so I always feel that I can accept it no matter how it develops... The fact is, the contents of these three chapters made me utter a long comment most of the night... 6. In fact, I shouldn't draw conclusions easily before it's over, but my disappointment comes from the impact of the plot on my perception. Whether you call me old-fashioned or too serious, in short, I feel that it is difficult to change my impression here. I'm so sorry. Finally, I wish my wife good luck in writing the article. Looking forward to seeing you again in the next vivid story.
I've been in a bad mood lately and want to take a knife. If you like, come and see more. Come on...
It seems that the twists and turns in the love line are not due to God's will like a knife (look again)... The subsequent development is a bit sudden (I don't mean the rhythm of the writing, but it's a bit unexpected. But it feels like it's not right to say "unexpected", because I didn't think about it at all.)
A meme comes to mind for no reason, "It's the season of white photo albums again"... 🧋 Of course, it does not apply to the relationship line, but if it really snows, there are really three people (and we need to make a choice tomorrow and now)
Hahahahahahahahaha, it's so awesome. "I can scold God till my head is bloody, but I'm not afraid of being struck by lightning" ~
So this is the first reunion after a lifetime~
It feels very good ~ I like it ~ I just hope it won't be too far-fetched, otherwise it will waste this accumulated emotion...
It can be seen that it is not appropriate to chat while drinking tea, otherwise the tea will only be used to water the flowers 🧋
"You are not what you seem." "You think so." Hahahahahahahahahahahaha (By the way, I saw that there was a slight thump at the end. Hahahahahahaha. The wife is so cute [Spread flowers] and manually bring up the thank you list)
Oni Langjun liked it unexpectedly, and then the "Chacha" on the Jieyou seal lifted his mood again. Anyway, I hope the one-sentence introduction didn't lie to me.
