   There is a reason why many people recommend it. I have watched it for so long that I can't remember clearly. My impression is that it looks good.

   Like! From Qingyuntai, I went straight into the ancient story of conspiracy. It happened to be raining and it was very interesting to watch. However, the atmosphere was too depressing and I couldn't endure the hardship and I didn't finish it.

   I just watched it recently, I love it!!! I was put off by the name many times, but it was really Wen Huang who clicked on it later. I loved it so much. The characters of the male and female protagonists are very full and full of life. I will always love the boyish male protagonist! Among the stories about loving wives everywhere in Jinjiang, it is really a treasure to have such a vivid heroine. It is definitely not a loss after reading it, and the deputy CP is also very exciting. I felt that every volume was quite interesting, and the author had a good grasp of the rhythm. I read it all night long for two days and one night. I didn't feel bored at all, and I couldn't stop reading it. Many people said that the last two chapters were a bit rushed. I didn't feel that much when I was reading it. Maybe it was because the author didn't want to take a knife, so the author wrote the twist very quickly. After reading it, I'm still not satisfied and want the author to write another one.

5. 5 沧 Canglan Road 沧澜道 Mo Shubai墨书白Romance1.3M WordsCompleted [Main story complete] [Absolutely do not read pirated copies of this book. They are the unedited version. If you can get through them, you may think there was no need to revise the story at all (otherwise, you might not even be able to get through it). Then, when you reach chapter 80-something and find that it isn’t complete, you’ll come to Jinjiang and discover an endless, unfinished pit! Falling into a pit like that is painful. I really am saying this for your own good!] Before she turned ni 193kFavorites184.8kClicks/ch221.5kGifts

   The heroine's rebirth, disfigurement, and Liu Xiniang's identity swap at the beginning is a rather attractive setting, and the writing is also interesting. I am tired of reading too many rebirth articles and it feels very fresh. The emotional pull between the middle and the male protagonist is very touching. I stopped reading after the last dozen or so chapters. Because there was a feeling that the dust had settled, I could predict the direction of the plot and stopped watching. Mo Shubai is a veteran author, so I read her "Mountains and Rivers Pillow", "Long Aotian", and "Looking for Swords in Thousand Mountains" during the literary shortage. I've read about half of "The Mountain and River Pillow" and there are too many typos. The author didn't even bother to revise the novel in 18 years, and then when the male protagonist came back from the battlefield, he suddenly felt that the story had changed too much, and he abandoned the novel as if he had been replaced by a different person. "Long Aotian" is a light-hearted and funny movie. I don't usually watch this genre. I also saw the last 20 chapters and can't remember them. I didn't have a deep impression. I watched "A Thousand Swordsman" 3/4 and gave up on it, so I forgot about it and will make up for it later when I think about it. "Cangshan Snow" is serialized for the first time, and the quality is so bad!!! This is the first time I feel so speechless about an author. After chasing Cangshan Snow, I followed several serials in one go, and I didn't feel angry about the other monthly updates. This author treats readers like monkeys, asking for leave every now and then. He asks for leave for a week if he has a cold. When the time is up, the person disappears. After a while, he comes back to say that his family has a cold and asks for another week. He asks for leave repeatedly and disappears every time after the leave time is over. I came back and said I would start updating daily, but after two days of updating, it disappeared again. Later, it was said that he was not in good condition and asked for a long leave. When he came back, he took a leave of absence and asked for another leave. When the time came, he disappeared again. He was scolded for having too much hair on his legs and disappeared for more than a month. To be honest, if I had read it when it was finished, I would have abandoned the story long ago because after the heroine and the hero deepened their relationship, they came out to be entangled with her ex-husband. I just kept following it because I wanted to see the series and the male lead achieve success. Moreover, this author updates every time in the early morning, and always updates half of it, marking it as unfinished. If he completes it and re-uploads it the next day, it will be treated as if it has been updated the next day. I am speechless.

6. 6 回 Return to the Edge 回涯 Retreating Halberd退戈Romance556k WordsCompleted A sword’s gleam reaches the sun and moon, sweeping clean the dust across ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains. · Song Huiya woke on a desolate mountain road with barely half a breath left in her. She had only just managed to survive, but her cultivation was badly damaged, and she couldn’t remember a thing about her past. She searched through her belongings. The only thing worth even a little money was a sword that looked like a piece of scrap metal. I must have been a pretty useless swor 144.1kFavorites146.3kClicks/ch192.7kGifts

   It looks good, and the writing is better than the copywriting. A heroine with max strength, a tough-tongued but soft-hearted heroine, a little tsundere pretending to be a hedgehog, but also a very gentle and big sister heroine. The family affection between the masters and the chivalry of Jianghu are touching. But after reading the whole story, I didn't see any emotional connection with the male protagonist. I felt like I was deceived by the non-CP that was labeled as romance.

7. 7 君 A Gentleman Holds Jade 君子怀璧 Mu Mu Zi木沐梓Romance461k WordsCompleted Wei Jiayu entered the mountains at ten and joined the Nine Sects. At seventeen, he became the top student of Wenyuan, unrivaled across the sect. At twenty-five, everyone pinned their hopes on him and named him the next sect leader.

   Where did I come from? Is this still a city of oral literature? He robbed the crematorium by force, a pure pervert with no sense of perspective, and the whole process was on the highway. The author's articles are basically in this style, but this one is my pure original. I watched it when I wanted to eat meat, and I felt that few people would recommend it (more people would scold it than recommend it). No matter, I will keep this Jinjiang Chang Nirvana privately.
