Modern girl Shu Qingzhi's journey to clean things up
Lihua seal
There are white pears in the courtyard, and my bare hands are playing chess again.
The moonlight is of suitable shades.
Love this life, hate separation, love knowing each other.
Sigh the fireworks in this world, and go to a hundred years of love.
Drinking together from the cold river, our clothes are covered with snow.
Intention: Never forget the original intention
Reader comments
To commemorate the last day of 2024.
I hope all readers reading this article will have all the best in the new year.
This chapter reveals a big mystery, Mr. Bao is really the crown prince! However, the prince tried so hard to show his affection in the previous chapter, and then Qingzhi bluntly said in this chapter that she really didn't like him. It was really funny. So after the prince tried hard for a long time, Qingzhi didn't get it at all. Hahaha, prince, after all, girls can't be chased like this. The metal hairpin used by Qingzhi to dress herself up is a great design. I feel that Qingzhi is really brave and resourceful! Although life was full of twists and turns, she never gave up on saving herself, just like she worked hard to adapt to the life of this era after being cleared. The interaction between her and the prince when they met again was also very interesting. After a month's separation, the prince was actually much calmer when we met again. Seeing how polite he was to Qingzhi at the beginning, I was not used to it. I always felt that something big had happened to him. But when Qingzhi joked and told him that she wanted to listen to his story, the atmosphere changed from solemn to light. The two of them were chatting with each other like happy enemies. It was very touching at once. Regardless of that kind of liking, they also have an equal friendship like friends. That's why Qingzhi is so special to the prince. He is the prince, so how can ordinary people give him such a fresh experience. And Qingzhi is really smart! According to the information given by the prince, his true identity was quickly revealed. Moreover, she was very calm and did not panic when she discovered such a prominent identity. She did not forget to take away her snacks before leaving, hahaha. The story of the prince setting off a Kongming lantern to Qing Zhi, which caused ripples in Qing Zhi's heart, was also very touching. Even with such a complicated life experience, it did not prevent the prince from having a very sincere and warm heart, and he also gave this heart to Qing Zhi. It is no wonder that Qing Zhi was moved by that moment. One end of the Kongming Lantern is connected to his beloved Eniang, and the other end is connected to his beloved girl. He actually understands true romance very well. However, in this chapter, I didn't expect that the mystery about Xiu Yue is still unsolved. Is the prince actually the Mr. Bao that Xiu Yue has met? The relationship between them is so mysterious, and the cloaked woman that Qingzhi meets at the end is also very scary. The sense of terror is suddenly full, making people look forward to the subsequent plot and fearful at the same time. It always feels like something big is going to happen. Speaking of which, Mr. Yin has been offline for so long, and he also has different feelings for Qingzhi. Isn't it time to come out and have a relationship with Mr. Bao? Hahaha.
This is really a treasure novel with a very eye-catching story setting that makes you hard to put down.
She is a science student majoring in finance in the 21st century. She worked hard to study in finance and finally got the postgraduate qualification from the school.
Well, the Qing Dynasty, a feudal dynasty that has traveled through time now, implemented a policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce.
He was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but at this time he was trapped in the shallows and depressed. Now he is hiding his power and biding his time, preparing for the cruel succession of his nine sons in the future.
The emotional line is a highlight of the novel. The emotional development of the male and female protagonists is natural and smooth, and the interaction is full of details, sweet and warm, which directly touches the readers' hearts.
Two people who should have nothing to do with each other met by accident, got to know each other by accident, and fell in love by accident. From a stranger to a husband and wife, they became each other's confidants.
From the perspective of characterization, the heroine Shu Qingzhi has a three-dimensional and full image. She is smart, tough and adaptable. When faced with a sudden time travel, she does not flinch. Instead, she calmly analyzes the situation and formulates ways to break the situation according to the situation. The male protagonist Aixinjueluo Yinzhen is affectionate and capable. He silently accompanies the female protagonist and is a very powerful boyfriend. Some of the supporting roles are also vividly portrayed, such as Zhang Xiaohu and Xiuyue, which greatly increases the richness of the story.
The author has a good grasp on the advancement of the plot, and there is a degree of relaxation. There are both tense and exciting plots as well as warm and romantic moments. This sense of rhythm prevents readers from feeling tired and boring during the reading process. Both the main plot and the side plots are very compact, such as the plot where Xiuyue assassinates the heroine Shu Qingzhi, and the male protagonist Yinzhen uses his body to block Xiuyue's knife from stabbing the heroine. Not only is it not complicated, but the clues are clear, making the story very smooth. In addition, the contrast between the Xiuyue in this plot and the Xiuyue in previous plots is so great that readers are unexpected.
In terms of writing style, it can be seen that the author has a solid writing skills, delicate description, large vocabulary and rich imagination. The emotions of the characters in the novel are portrayed in meticulous detail. Whether it is the emotions of the male and female protagonists or the complex thoughts of the supporting characters, they are all vividly displayed. The words and sentences are exquisitely chosen, and the writing style is full of ancient charm. At first glance, you can tell that he is a master of solid writing.
In terms of plot, from Shu Qingzhi traveling to the Qing Dynasty and meeting Yinzhen, to being taken in by the Zhang family, to being assassinated by a prostitute. Yinzhen was stabbed to save her, and she took care of the injured Yinzhen meticulously. Zhen, and then followed Yinzhen and Thirteenth Brother to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate floods to help Cui Er, and finally rescued the dancing girl Yuwei at Yinzhen's mansion... Shu Qingzhi's experience after time travel is very exciting.
In addition, this novel is rich in poetry, and a large number of ancient poems are incorporated into the novel. It can be seen that the author is really a college master, and he is very good in arts and sciences. These ancient poems make the story full of poetry and charm, and romance fills the lines, giving people a very advanced feeling that makes people want to stop.
All in all, all in all. This novel "Spring Snow Again" is a masterpiece worth reading. It has a wonderful plot and rich characters, bringing readers a wonderful reading experience. It has left a strong mark in the Qing Dynasty novels. What kind of challenges will the love between Shu Qingzhi and Yinzhen experience? Is there still a chance for Shu Qingzhi to return to modern times? Who is the woman in red? Is it Yuwei? I am very much looking forward to the follow-up plot. The author will keep up the good work, Aoli gives!
This Li Wenxin will definitely become a monster in the future. I feel like I have already imagined what she is going to do.
Thirteen is still reliable, the eldest brother feels that it smells bad. If a man doesn't take a shower, the smell on his body is the same as that of fermented ST that has been dead for ten days. I feel that the smell has drifted over, so back off and stay away from Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu, please save yourself first before saving others. It's so miserable, I feel so bad. .
The princess is so gentle, wwww
Dear readers, hello everyone, I have some bad news. The author has told me that when I update to Chapter 30, I will take a break. I'm going to stop writing this article first because the author has some personal matters in his life that he needs to deal with. This is the primary reason.
Secondly, the scene where the heroine Shu Qingzhi enters the palace has been updated. The heroine is depressed, and the author is also depressed. Forgive me that the author is still a delicate little girl. Seeing Qingzhi being bullied made me feel uncomfortable. So I plan to adjust my mood first, face life and study better, and then continue to set off!
Again, as I write this, I may be running out of ideas, so I plan to settle down first and accumulate ideas and ideas. After all, sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping firewood.
Come to think of it, I really love female authors, but I just like to torture our heroines. My idea is to make the heroine first bitter and then sweet, break through many obstacles in the feudal dynasty, and then realize her own value and bloom gorgeous flowers in the decayed land!
Shu Qingzhi, like this article, will stick to her kind nature, look for the woman in red who needs redemption, and then achieve her goal! Even though she was covered with scars from the collision, she still did not forget her original intention and hoped everyone would be well!
The relationship between Qing Zhi and Fourth Master Yinzhen is not the main plot! Again! So, what obstacles do the two have to overcome in their relationship? Everyone, please stay tuned!
It has been almost half a year since I updated my article at the end of last year, but in my article, it is from the summer of the 44th year of Kangxi reign to the summer of the 46th year of the Kangxi reign, which is a span of two years.
The forty-seventh year of Kangxi was the year when the prince was deposed. It was really the highlight of the Qing palace drama, so get ready!
Thank you all for your support! Thanks to the readers who have watched along!
As for why the heroine Qingzhi was made so miserable, it was because she wanted to break readers' illusions about time travel. If you are really wearing one, then the situation may not be as good as Qingzhi's. If you are like Qingzhi who was kidnapped into an alley and almost got chopped, the male protagonist will not come down from the sky to block the knife for you at this time. On the street, there may not be any kind people who will take you in. There are still a lot of bad things here, and many feudal and depressing things about humanity are here, so everyone must not have any illusions about time travel! Thinking that time travel means falling in love with a noble prince, talking about life philosophy with a gentle scholar, and making an eternal alliance with a handsome young master... These are not realistic!
But Qingzhi, you have a mission to travel through time!
Updated! I also wish the teacher a happy New Year, all the best, and smooth serialization! ! The atmosphere of this chapter is great. Winter snow, New Year, lantern festival, and riddles are all put together. At first glance, it looks cold, which makes people sympathize with Qingzhi's sleepiness. But the human feelings inside are so warm and lively, making it feel like the New Year. As I read the article, I started to like Zhang Xiaohu's nickname "Qing Mei" for Qing Zhi more and more, because our heroine is really lively and cheerful, and she is also very hard-working. Seeing her struggling to cook eight dishes alone, she laughed at herself for looking very embarrassed at this time, which makes people think she is so cute and real. She stuffed French fries and fried chicken into the eight dishes of the New Year's Eve dinner, and she boasted that her hometown dishes are also funny here, and she has a very down-to-earth humor. Zhang Xiaohu said that she can try to make some of this next time. I can't help but blindly guess whether there will be a plot of opening a restaurant later! Take the Western route and make a lot of money! (After all, our sister Qing has many advantages as a time traveler.) Qingzhi lamented whether the moon more than three hundred years later will be as bright as it is now. I really enjoyed reading it. Although there is a touch of sadness in it, it is also extremely elegant and satisfying. The interaction between Qing Zhi and the newly-appeared young master is also super funny, and every complaint is quite sharp and precise. However, considering that this is really a Beijing circle, it is reasonable to suspect that a wave of complaints from this "Prince of Beijing Circle" may be a hit! Couldn't this new character be the prince? It always feels like his move of lifting Qingmei's veil has a special meaning, because the only prominent person around Qingmei is Mr. Yin, whose name is unknown. If we extrapolate from his actions, it is reasonable to suspect that Mr. Yin's identity is not simple. It feels like the teacher has laid a foreshadowing here! In the end, Xiu Yue's commission was not completed. The young master did not attend the appointment. It was so unexpected that the mystery suddenly became deeper. The next chapter made me excited. Xiu Yue, who knew the news, didn't know what he would say then.
After this chapter, I might have to torture the heroine a little bit!
"More difficult to serve than the fourth elder brother" hahahahahahahaha
Wow, the previous part is actually original, so awesome.
Xiao Shu is so kind, hey, he will be forced to become a chess piece
Did Thirteen come to comfort Xiao Shu? Fourth Master was furious but he just scolded Xiao Shu hahaha
Poor Xiao Shu, let's have a new spark with the prince.
Brother Tiger came home and the sky collapsed hhhh
Did the prince intentionally harm the fourth master?
But Xiao Shu is a hero again and saves the beauty hahaha
Yes, the Ruiyan that Mr. Bao Cheng mentioned is the character in the supporting role list: Guarjia Ruiyan
Damn it, I forgot the story about the two of them having a pocket watch.
Are you jealous when Xiao Shu praises the prince? Hahahaha, why are you so angry? You are petty (no)
To be honest, if you like Xiao Shu a little in your heart, but you deliberately set up a trap to push Xiao Shu to the prince for power, if I were the heroine, I might not really like the fourth master. The relationship is pure mutual use, and the prince is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is unrealistic to abandon the fourth master and turn around and throw himself into the prince's arms. It is very difficult for Xiao Shu
I'm very curious how these two fell in love with a father of three children later on.
After reading these words half-way through, I didn't expect that Xiao Shu actually thought the same way hahahahahahaha
I miss my mother at school too? What's the difference between this poor place and the Qing Dynasty? It's a dictatorship and a bunch of bad things. .
Could it be that Fourth Master deliberately kept this snack for Xiao Shu?
I even forgot that Xiao Shu is engaged. It seems that Xiao Hu will never be able to do so in this life.
Thanks to Mr. Li for this amazing assist, hahahaha, if you hadn't said that Xiao Shu wouldn't have known that Fourth Master cares about her so much
The fourth master protects his wife overbearingly (it always feels weird
To commemorate the last day of 2024. I hope all readers reading this article will have all the best in the new year.

This Li Wenxin will definitely become a monster in the future. I feel like I have already imagined what she is going to do.
Thirteen is still reliable, the eldest brother feels that it smells bad. If a man doesn't take a shower, the smell on his body is the same as that of fermented ST that has been dead for ten days. I feel that the smell has drifted over, so back off and stay away from Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu, please save yourself first before saving others. It's so miserable, I feel so bad. .
The princess is so gentle, wwww
Dear readers, hello everyone, I have some bad news. The author has told me that when I update to Chapter 30, I will take a break.
