I don't want to be a cinnabar mole for others, I just want my loyalty to be red forever
Because all kinds of cool articles are popular, everyone is more and more willing to read cool articles about strong women and domineering women. This is understandable, but works that truly embody the core and practical significance are real literary achievements. Zhu Sha is a work that can truly see the heroine gradually grow up and break through her fragile illusions and weaknesses. How can there be any reason to be invincible immediately after rebirth and attack all online IQs? , Many settings in the novel have changed the character and destiny of the replaced protagonist due to various soul or flesh transmigration. But the heroine here is reborn, with the weakness and innocence of the previous life, and is once again more completely torn apart by reality. This torn growth is the key core of this book's more realistic meaning and charm. The early reviews of this book can be said to be the result of the failure of some book friends to expect to read a generally enjoyable book. Perhaps none of them thought that they would have to experience such a "wisdom-destroying" journey of growth for the protagonist while reading online fast food articles. But it is precisely because of such condemning reviews that people understand that this work is no longer a product of fast food entertainment, but a literary work that has practical significance and inspires the characters to grow apart. It is ironic that a book with real practical significance has attracted widespread condemnation from book fans. Is it because there are too many people pursuing fast-consuming and refreshing entertainment, or because there are too few people who have the patience to read a good book? This is not meant to criticize and denounce the book fans who commented, especially those who read the book when it was serialized. They may not have expected that what they originally thought was a refreshing novel about rebirth would be so heart-wrenching, so that readers from a semi-god perspective failed to expect the refreshing feeling... I just hope that those who follow the book after finishing the book will understand that this is not a purely refreshing fast-food novel, but a growth story that constantly reflects on oneself and tears oneself apart. This is a good book where reality and ideals, cruelty and beauty, despair and hope coexist. I hope you can read it patiently. This book is just like the heroine Roujia. She does not try to become a cinnabar mole in the hearts of others. It does not necessarily make people unforgettable and likeable. She can only be herself and be famous for the rest of her life. ps I just finished reading the latest serial part of First Hou, and came back to relive the emotional Zhu Sha, and then read the discussion in the comment area.
[Comment] This article is quite sadistic
A girl who doesn't know right from wrong, A stupid heroine A white lotus sister It's actually quite tiring to watch.
[Brief Comment] I always read the spoilers before reading the article, for those little fairies who also like spoilers.
(Accidentally deleted the post, I will repost it after adding it) It can be said that it was very uncomfortable to read this book. I felt so tight in my chest after reading a few chapters for the first time. After reading all the other articles by hope Xingda, after a year or two, I finally plucked up the courage to pick up Zhu Sha and read it. Due to the unique personal style of hope Xingda's works, I can always distinguish them from those of other authors. No matter what the setting of the ancient sayings of other authors is, it is nothing more than that in the end the heroine finds a good man to live a good life with. She has the highest status in both her natal family and her husband's family, and has absolute say. In general, no matter whether the heroine is good or not, the key is to choose men to compete for men. Especially in house fights and palace fights, by fighting for men, a small part of the man's rights and wealth (such as housekeeping rights) can be obtained, allowing men to favor their own interests when making decisions, and ensuring enough money and rights to cultivate their own subordinates. The difference between hope Xingda's works is that her heroines compete for strength, fists, hearts, and power. The heroine has a clear goal and often looks at the world, rather than being limited to her home or court, let alone a mere man. The heroine's success depends entirely on herself (it's cool to have to rely on her own strength), and the men are just accessories that are attracted to the heroine on her way to success, and are dispensable. The excellence of the male protagonist cannot cover up the brilliance of the female protagonist. The female protagonist is still her own distinct self, rather than being treated as the male protagonist's wife, and even the introduction briefly mentions the kind of template image that weakens herself. In the previous life, the heroine Xie Roujia was afraid that she did not catch her sister who fell into the water in time, causing her sister to drown. The parents and tribesmen all believed that the heroine deliberately killed her sister in order to replace her sister and become the daughter of Dan. The heroine felt guilty and blamed herself, and felt that she had killed her sister. The Xie family's witchcraft family is based on the alchemy master inherited by the eldest daughter of the past generations. For the benefit of the family, the heroine became "Xie Rouhui". Her parents no longer loved her, and she was imprisoned and used as a tool to give birth to the next generation of Dan girls. After her daughter was born and her husband died unexpectedly, she was married away to the elderly King of Zhenbei, and was molested by Zhou Chengzhen, the eldest son of King Zhenbei. Then the Xie family was confiscated and exterminated for offering poison pills to the emperor. After the death of King Zhenbei, the eldest son Zhou Chengzhen caused the heroine to "hang herself" because of her reputation. In the opening chapter, the heroine Xie Roujia had a brief warm illusion after her rebirth. Her parents were loving and her sister was gentle. However, when she went to school for the first time, the ugliness of the Xie family slowly became apparent. After raising the suspicion about the identity of the sisters, the story of this article really begins. The previous part is considered to be a foreshadowing, making the characters and plot full. In order to prevent her sister from dying, Xie Roujia began to learn swimming, all in an effort to save her sister's life and change the fate of her family. But she didn't expect that her sister would still fall into the water, and her tribe would regard her as the murderer, and her parents would be extremely disappointed... But the reason for all this is not what she thought in her previous life. The rules of the Xie family mean that father is not father and son is not son. The bloodline of the great witch is respected, and the status of the alchemy master is supreme. She can do whatever she wants, no matter what is unreasonable or unreasonable. Everyone is fawning over Dannu. Whether she is happy or not is the most important thing. The mother is a Dan girl herself, so she cares about power. The drowning incident made her feel that the heroine threatened the status of the next Dan girl, so the truth is not important. My father, like other tribesmen, only has interests in his eyes. Whoever can bring him the greatest benefits is his good daughter, and whoever is right is right. Everything is a struggle for interests. Therefore, people from the parents' clan can let Xie Roujia leave home and become a member of the clan for Xie Rouhui's sake. Later, he openly said that Xie Roujia was the eldest lady, and that he had indeed made the mistake of hugging her back then. Mrs. Xie's killing of Mrs. Xie for the purpose of hiding scriptures especially shows the ugliness of human nature. [Character Commentary] Zhou Chengzhen: I never thought he would be the male protagonist, because the hatred of life and death in the previous life can never be reversed. I appreciate his personality, but I don't like being with him. This person has no distinction between right and wrong, does not follow etiquette and laws, only follows his own will, and most of the things he does are not considered good. Regardless of whether it is a good deed or an evil deed, as long as it interests him, he dares to do it. Shao Mingqing: He is a very lovable character. I like him very much, especially at the beginning, he always does not follow the routine and has a sense of being free and unrestrained. But later he became like a loyal dog after following the heroine who left home. I liked his initial image and character better. He was not annoyed by the heroine's inexplicable hatred and saved the heroine's life. After ridiculing the heroine after she left home, he was willing to stay with her. After the incident of Xie Rouqing's sacrifice, he left because of his promise to the heroine, and finally went to Zhenbei Palace to save the heroine... It can be said to be very affectionate and righteous. Xie Rouhui: On the surface, she looks like a warm spring breeze, gentle and courteous, but she is a little too kind-hearted and weak. In fact, she is dark and vicious in her heart. Many times I have wondered if she is a psychopath or has some kind of mental illness. This person is so twisted, harming others rather than benefiting herself. It's like her tribe wants her to be someone who steals gold from others directly in person. If someone tries to please her and wants to give her gold, she refuses and then sneaks into their house late at night to steal it. If you want your sister dead, just kill her. But she insisted on being a white lotus. She made too many wrong choices. It's like knowing that you can't dance well, but you only blame others for dancing too well. One thing that impressed me deeply was that after she took away the maid, she killed ants all over the place to vent her anger.
I feel like I hate Zhou Chengzhen so much🙃Whether it's casually calling someone a wife, some inappropriate intimate actions, or some self-righteous behavior. Very annoying. I felt sick all over when I saw his scenes. I even think some of his behavior can be called sexual harassment.
Some people also asked the heroine why she is still so stupid even though she is in her 20s. What I want to say is that Xida's description of the people created by the environment is very accurate. My living environment is very simple. I only see bad things and bad people on TV. When I was 20 years old, the first thing I encountered that let me know that bad people were around me was losing my wallet. If the people around you protect you too well, it will give people the illusion that nothing bad will happen. My biggest failure is that I was deceived by my best friend for more than ten years. Now that I think about it, I am really a fool. But if she was reborn at a certain point in those ten years or so, I still wouldn't know that she was playing tricks on me. So Xida's character design is really in place. Admire!
How come there are so many people who like Zhou Chengzhen? It feels like everyone who likes him is just a kid, right? He does everything he thinks is good for you, and he insists on saving you when you are about to die. This is a typical example of how he moved himself! Seeing the divorce with Taotao, I felt very sad for Taotao. Fortunately, the ending was perfect. Thank you to the author! ! !
I don't quite understand why some people still defend Zhou Chengzhen? The book has made it very clear that his love for Roujia is to put her into trouble first, and then he acts as a hero to relieve the hangover. Isn't this benefiting himself at the expense of others? This kind of love is really selfish. Whoever loves you wants to go. Zinsha can really be said to be the best book written by hope Xing. Roujia's growth and transformation were really difficult, but she overcame all the difficulties bit by bit, and finally understood what she wanted and achieved what she wanted. Don't think it's difficult to get over the early frustrations. The struggle for the inheritance of the great families has been cruel since ancient times. But at that time, Roujia didn't realize that she had fallen into this cruelty, so she was ignorant. Later she knew about it but was not indulged in this cruelty. This was Roujia's magnanimity and wisdom. But without the early setbacks and difficulties, there would be no perseverance and courage in Roujia. As for Xie Rouhui, I actually didn't dislike her very much after reading the whole book, because this is the truest human nature, selfishness, cruelty and unscrupulous for power and status, which is actually normal. What I hate the most in the whole book is that Mrs. Xie is really as stupid as a pig and unreachable. If you are in it and know what you are doing and why you are planning what you are doing, I think it will be understandable no matter what you do. However, Mrs. Xie, who wants her mother to recognize her and wants a perfect daughter to succeed Dannu, always walks in the opposite direction, as if her eyes are covered by God along the way. It is really pitiful, sad and disgusting!
Works that failed in characterization
I briefly read it many years ago, and when I revisited it recently, I discovered the reason why this book is rarely discussed among Xi Da's works. According to the subject matter and writing style, it can be regarded as a bold and innovative work of Xida. The writing style is delicate and steady. The background is not the ordinary ancient princes and nobles, but the place of Wu Nuo culture with strong mysterious color. However, the failure of the creation of the villain makes this book and the charm of the protagonist insufficient to support this story with strong religious color. Generally, in a story with this kind of background, both the protagonist and the villain must have some firm belief and belief, and have an evenly matched confrontation, so that the story can be worthy of the grand background, but Zhu Sha does not. Although the heroine does all the big things that look shocking, the villain always does some childish tricks, pushing people into trouble, quarreling, and sowing discord. He has no long-term strategy or extraordinary scheming. The power and charm of the protagonist are often set off by equally powerful and intelligent villains. Defeating a wise and powerful man gives people completely different perceptions than defeating a stupid child. Unfortunately, Xie Roujia is the latter. To write about the villains of the Xie family, we must first treat them as normal people, not just tools to induce conflicts. To regard Xie Rouhui as the main and biggest villain, she must first be made very capable and worthy of being the heroine's opponent. But obviously, she is not worthy and is weak in all aspects, which weakens the watchability and enjoyment. At the same time, she almost lost her most basic emotions as a "person". She has almost no feelings for her parents, siblings, and all her relatives and friends. This is very unreasonable. Even a serial perverted murderer will be attached to the relatives who raised her since childhood, but Xie Rouhui does not, especially in the past thirteen years, she has grown up in love. In this story, it can be seen that only the protagonist group has normal human emotions. They will have feelings for people who are close to them or even hostile to them, and only they are worthy of having feelings. As for the villains, they are all robots and do not have any normal human emotions. For this sister who has been attached to and loved her since she was a child, Xie Rouhui should have been close and affectionate to this sister who had been attached to her and loved her since she was a child. Before she knew that the wrong embrace was a threat, she should have been close and affectionate anyway. After learning about it, she would not have thought of killing immediately. Instead, she should have had a long-term gaze, suspicion, temptation, anger, fear, jealousy, alienation, mixed with various complex and twisted, struggling and painful emotions, instead of being ready to kill directly without any emotion and calmly. As for the role of father, before Roujia was framed and pushed Rouhui into trouble, when faced with Roujia, a worthless little daughter, he was also a doting and tolerant and loving father. When Roujia was wronged many times, he could look at the problem calmly, help her fight for her strong wife, and be willing to believe her. Later, without warning, he suddenly turned into a profit-seeking robot. When his eldest daughter, whom he had loved for more than ten years as a treasure, wanted to kill him, as a father, as a normal person, the first reaction must be shock, disappointment, sadness, and then anger. But he skipped all normal human reactions and transitioned directly to calmly preparing to kill this daughter. Me? ? ? To be honest, the robot doesn't have anything like this written on it. The robot will have to shut down when faced with this situation, right? There is also the old man Xie Cunli, this is a standard robot that performs the task of "only kneeling and licking the human named Xie Rouhui without limit". You can't see this person's true behavioral capabilities and any personal thinking, even if it is based on personal interests, he is a standard clown to set off the atmosphere. In many similar situations and similar character descriptions, except for the protagonist group, the characters do not have any drama or character tension. They all become expressionless fights by a few robots, which makes people feel calm and even makes them want to laugh, but it cannot attract hatred at all. As for Mrs. Xie, she failed even more. The way she was portrayed was obviously completely opposite to the previous robots. She wanted to write about a mother who was emotionally intense and struggling in pain. She obviously used too much force and looked like a super hero suffering from mania. It is hard to imagine that a talkative person who has received the highest standard of education since childhood without any competition would be an irrational lunatic, like a robot caught in a program error and too lazy to talk. With a large number of weak villains, the heroine's aura is particularly weak. After all, beating up a group of abnormal garbage really does not show the protagonist's awesomeness. What's more, the pace in the early stage is extremely slow, with dozens of chapters filled with boring trivial matters and little girls bickering and quarreling. , This is not the way to foreshadow the story. The heroine is an adult who has been married twice, given birth to children, and experienced a lot of ups and downs in the world. After being reborn, her mind is still that of a thirteen-year-old. I really feel so stupid. It is not unfair to be harmed like this in her previous life.
Now that I am reading Chapter 16, I have seen many comments about how I hate that the heroine always cries. As a new mother who has just recovered from postpartum depression, I just want to say that when I think about the past, I will really cry uncontrollably. So so far, I think there is nothing wrong with the heroine. I can tell you personally that a teenage child thinks that he has killed someone. He has lived with sadness and guilt for so long, and there is no psychiatrist to treat him. This is a very serious form of depression! Although I couldn't help but read the spoilers in the comments, I secretly read the last chapter, and probably guessed that my sister would turn dark. However, as a newcomer, reading this novel, I still don't like the description of my sister's feelings. As an adult, I can understand the tricks of children, but the heroine has been disgusted and abandoned by her family since she had an accident at the age of 12. She has been staying in her room, not even going to the garden, and has blocked herself. She cannot contact the society at all, and she cannot let her mind grow up with her age. Despite this, she still discovered the problem, so "What did I do wrong?" Appeared several times. I guess she will mature like this little by little and know how to think, right?
Many, many people like Jun Jiuling and Dadi Ji, but I am attracted by Zhu Sha, and I think it is the best book written by the author. The greatness of Zhu Sha's pattern and conception lies in its thorough depiction of the treacherous human heart, which can be called a cold and bright mirror that shines upon the world. As for finding fault with the parts where the plot has too many twists and turns or is occasionally too lengthy, just skip it. Most of the people who can't stand it are probably because Zhu Sha exposes the ugliness of the world so nakedly that most people who read it for a cool novel can't stand it anymore.
