Omnivorous and partial to BG, anyone who has a substantial book review has read the full text, and aesthetics are subjective. Minefield: Robbery and robbery of violent men, negative gender stereotypes, golden fingers
At first, I didn't like the character of the male protagonist. He is a typical superhero gangster. He smokes, drinks, fights, and takes over everything. He is full of violence and unruly. There is a sense of vulgarity and wildness in his words and actions. He is the kind of person you would avoid in real life. But as I read further, his hard and prickly shell was peeled off, and I saw a beast at the bottom of society, fighting for his life with his bare hands. The reason why he became a "wild dog" is because no one has ever taught him how to behave decently, and his survival instinct requires him to show his fangs.
When sympathy and understanding arise, what I see again is his tenacious soul, youthful and vigorous sexual tension, and forbearing love.
This sympathy is also for the heroine.
The author adopts a two-line narrative, one chapter about the reunion in the present, followed by one chapter about the entanglements in childhood, and writes about the suffocating childhood of two "little bitter gourds". Coming from a poor family and lacking family ties, the humility and embarrassment of being dependent on others is like a dense sea of stitches sewn into my bones. In that dilapidated, sour old building in Tengcheng, full of the smoke and smoke of the market, two souls who lacked shelter could only become each other's flesh and blood.
But what's special is that this period of living together is not at all a tender narrative of childhood sweethearts - even with such antecedents, it may be easier to reasonably develop feelings. All in all, the initial background between the two people is actually a deep-seated hatred. It is the male protagonist's rejection and malice towards the female protagonist as an intruder when he was a child. It is the bullying and confrontation caused by the lack of resources and territorial awareness. It is the painful pain of being deprived of life after the heroine's mother ran away with money.
But by coincidence, the two little bitter gourds who should have been jealous of each other ended up being forced to grow wildly in that dilapidated, sour environment filled with the smoke and smoke of the market because of the same poverty and loneliness. That's why when they developed a secret and bitter love in their years of confrontation, it was wrapped up in edges and corners, as if it had never existed. That's why this relationship seemed so thrilling.
The dog training scene after the reunion is also very interesting. It is said that the heroine is a master of fishing, and she can tame the wild dogs bit by bit with that kind of long-term aggression. The interesting thing about this kind of domestication is that what I see is not calculation, but pure love that "will take the bait". The author's writing is full of sensory narration, and the precise capture of smell, temperature, and body sensation makes the sticky, moist, and tension-filled air rush to his face, filling him with a sense of destiny. It is a pity that due to some reasons, many details have been deleted from the official version. This does not affect the overall quality of this article, but it is still a good-looking article on pseudo-orthopedics. However, it is recommended that after buying the original version, you should look for the original version and read it according to your ability.
The writing style is light and humorous, and the heroine is self-loving, sober, and kind but does not suffer any disadvantages. She will complete the tasks given by the system in a sinister and funny way. In the early stage, the master's pampering was in the normal care of the elders. However, the process of transformation into "feelings between men and women" had weak logical support, and the plot line was too heavy on the story, so it was bland and boring to read.
Bought from Nuan Xin Du Wen, the writing style is childish and the twists are blunt and abrupt. From a modern perspective, the male protagonist is very "greasy and overbearing", the female protagonist has low subjective initiative, and the view on marriage and love is full of stereotypes: the domineering man who objectifies women × the little woman who relies on men, packaging the trampling of other people's personalities as "romantic" and "affectionate". The heroine neither grew up nor had a sense of subjectivity. She was just constantly domesticated in a bad relationship. In the end, she begged for a child, which made me call her a "good wife and loving mother".
After reading the whole book, I couldn't see love, I could only see the desocialization control of the weak by the strong. Moreover, this concept does not only exist among the male and female protagonists, but also the supporting characters are unconsciously repeating and strengthening this value system, and the overall impression is extremely intellectual. Considering that this is a work written in 2017, the author may have been relatively young when he wrote it, and these issues may not have been conscious at the time. But it's 2026, my advice is: don't look, run [angry]
I was able to finish it, but I didn't like it. The first half was better than the second half. The latter part was like "I've come here" and I had to bite the bullet and finish it.
When I read "The Eighth Year of the Dead Wife", I didn't have the urge to "hold on to the book" and read it all night long. On the contrary, I read it intermittently because it was indeed too "light". There are no ups and downs in the plot, nor are there any ups and downs of emotions. Even on the emotional line, it always maintains a gentle rhythm. But for me, the most fascinating thing about this book is precisely this ultimate "certainty". There is no ambiguous temptation between two strangers, only an infatuated widower who has been guarding for eight years and has a plan, and a straight woman with a mission who only wants to make money. I don't need to worry about their feelings, because I know that some people are destined to come back, and this deep love is enough to withstand eight years of coldness.
In the early stage, the abuse of women leads to the plot, and in the later stage, the abuse of men is in the crematorium. It's more common, and it's cool, and that's it.
He came back from the abyss of betrayal, and all the love, hatred, and love were twisted into grievances and crazy possessiveness. It was very enjoyable to watch.
