This book is different from other time-travel novels. Most of the time-travel novels are cool. The heroine has the golden finger of the protagonist. This book takes Xin Yi's personal experience as the main line and shows a complex emotional entanglement through the changes in the relationship between her and the second master. The plot has ups and downs and is full of drama, but the image of Xin Yi in this book is full and profound, showing both the tenderness and consideration of ancient women and the independence and strength of modern women. Through Xin Yi's perspective, it shows the low status and helpless fate of women in ancient society. At the same time, it also depicts a relationship that transcends identity and status, which makes the image of the second master more complex, struggling between the whirlpool of authority and emotion. The author's writing style is delicate and vivid, and he can well grasp the inner world of the character, and vividly depict Xin Yi's emotional changes. At the same time, the dialogues and scene descriptions are also quite original, making the background and atmosphere of the story more real. There are no absolute bad guys and absolute good guys in this book. Everyone is caught up in the torrent of history and cannot escape. Only human warmth supports them, like a small boat swimming slowly.
The first part is well written, the heroine is well portrayed, her IQ is good in all aspects, and it is close to the storyline of that era, but the second part should have been written by another author, and the writing is very confusing. The storyline, including the heroine, is so stupid, and there are various articles that want to show the heroine being cute or smart. It is really stupid and can't be read.
It's both beautiful and ugly. Those who like Shuang Jie or Two People in a Lifetime don't need to read it, and those who like returning to the real world after traveling through time-traveling novels don't need to read it either. The male protagonist will favor his new aunt until the end, and will take her into her after the new aunt dies. The greatest guarantee for the female protagonist is to give her the position of the mistress of the house and to allow the female protagonist to give him an eldest son to consolidate her status as the female protagonist. After time traveling, the heroine gradually became an ancient person and possessed the values of ancient people. This may be the sorrow of women with low status in ancient times. People will be affected by the environment and become ugly. I don't have much idea of the value of the male protagonist Qian Hu's official position. I always think of the two dull-witted Qian Hu under the Jiangsu and Zhejiang yamen in Ming Dynasty 1566. The background of the story, including the naval battle with pirates, is also very similar to the TV series. The story in Erxianzhuang feels like the best part of the whole novel. There is a little bit of love, and the hero returns to Qianhu Mansion and is Master Duanshui again. Wang Ye and Zhou Yu are also quite disgusting. Maybe their existence is purely to make the male protagonist less discriminatory against women. It's a bit critical of feudal society. In ancient times, women in the new era were tied to the male protagonist by their children. They didn't even dare to ask for a lifetime of love, and could only ensure that the male protagonist respected his legitimate wife. But if the Zhang family declined and did not recognize the heroine as his righteous daughter, why would the hero not dare to kill the second wife if he could kill his first wife. In the end, the heroine was trapped in her own love, and her husband was the father of my child. However, in the old society and era, the male protagonist also belonged to a class with ideals and ambitions but was restrained and feared everywhere. He sacrificed himself for the sake of his family and country regardless of his life, but he could not get the sincerity of the emperor. It was quite pitiful to think about it. After reading the whole novel, I just want to say one thing to the male and female protagonists: Times like this are not worth burning yourself.
It lacks some psychological description of the male protagonist, and after watching it, you don't know how the male protagonist is tempted. In addition, the heroine's illness was treated with black pills, which are addictive and made the heroine crazy. Is this any different from taking drugs? That's it, and then we write about drug elimination, Westerners selling weapons, and Japanese pirate invasions. What, is this the late Qing Dynasty? If it was the late Qing Dynasty, could it be written based on correct history? The heroine is so useless. After reading most of it, I just felt that the content was very negative, which made me unhappy and affected my mood.
The heroine is so useless, she came from time travel and is of such a low rank.
How can I put it this way, when I first watched it, it still showed how the heroine slowly managed her life step by step to live the life she wanted. But things have changed since he was brought home to be sold again. It gave me a very disconnected feeling. Even though I was incapable, I still had to keep the girl who was serving me inexplicably. I only understood it when I was repeatedly stabbed in the back. I don't think I can understand it as someone who has been stabbed in the back all the time at work. While talking about how it would be nice to travel through time, the conflict in terms of structure is not high-level. But it's so difficult to forcefully explain things.
I want to leave every day when I can't leave. I can leave but I don't have the freedom to say it but don't want to leave. My personality is sometimes tolerant, sometimes flamboyant, and sometimes crazy. It feels so messy.
I have been reading novels for more than 20 years and this one is good
Unconventional
The previous writing is quite good, but it has been full of nonsense since more than 180 chapters. The more it writes, the stupider it gets. I can understand the pretense, but it can't be really stupid. Moreover, he has already traveled through 10 years and has not forgotten some things about his original world and what he can draw. He must have not forgotten himself when he drew the ship occupation. The more he writes, the weaker and stupider he becomes. There is a difference between being really stupid and pretending to be innocent. I seriously suspect that the author ran away halfway through the writing. All the rest was written by ghostwriters, and there was more than one ghostwriter.
