The rating of eight points is really low. The author unpretentiously describes a group of people living in the changing dynasties, including Eunuch Xiao, who was once the center of power, the declining palace, and the heroine who lives at the bottom. It reflects a microcosm of the times through the changes in the characters' lives. These life details are real and coincidental. The description of the heroine's divorce is not blessed by the halo of the hero. Although it is resolved by the wisdom of the heroine and her family, it still leaves people with lingering fears, which is very reasonable. The heroine later learns that the hero is her childhood sweetheart. Out of consideration for reality and her family, her withdrawal truly reflects the reaction of normal people in that era. It seems to be a straightforward narrative, and each vivid and flesh-and-blood character appears happily, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role. This book deserves a 9.5, Very nice to read
The writing is very good, I recommend it. The shortcoming is that the growth and interpersonal relationships of the male protagonist are not written, and the heroic and resourceful side of the male protagonist is not shown at all. He can even send someone to rescue people, but he defies the imperial edict and insists on going there himself as a general. As an ancient people's educational thinking, this is simply impossible. Moreover, the way he dealt with falling into the water was not the style of a general leading troops. With such a character, it is impossible to lead troops to victory. If you are soft-hearted and kind, you can only be a soldier, not a general. Moreover, the part about the heroine's search is so long and boring, it feels like the numbers are all the same, it's so cumbersome, and it also involves a bunch of small characters who may not exist, and the key points are wrong.
Although it is not as easy to understand as other writings, it is very beautiful. Have everyone's style. Not tacky
Very good, some parts make people laugh, especially the dismantling of idioms.
The writing is good and the language is witty and humorous. It is very suitable for old bookworms.
In fact, the writing is really good, but the characterization is somewhat lacking. The first half of the book is more attractive, but the second half is really stuck in my throat. I always feel that there are things that I can't sort out. Most importantly, the author may want to express the heroine's sincerity and love, but I really only saw the qualities of being incompetent and having a holy mother's heart, and being nosy. Especially the part where she meets Aunt Fang really drove me crazy. Before, I thought I was going to the Jiang Mansion to be a maid, and for no apparent reason I took the bride's place. I could understand that as a slave, I had no choice but to do it. Then after leaving the house, I still acted like an "innocent and romantic, foolish but courageous" spirit. It's really incomprehensible. In addition, the heroine is too pretentious towards the male protagonist. I don't know why she is being pretentious. Hey... Maybe I don't like the heroine's character, but the author's writing is still good.
It's such a strange reading experience. I only like the front and back of the whole book. The setting of the heroine's face blindness is relatively novel. The ups and downs in the middle are not sure whether it is the writing style or the plot, so I can only read it through. Writing your thoughts after reading this way will definitely be criticized. Alas, my personal habit is to write a few notes to record my thoughts.
Giving so much ink to that Qi monster is a major failure of this article!!!
I always feel that it's not complete enough, and I'm a little bit suffocated. Old Man Qi just went through it like this, but I still feel a little bit... Well, I think I'm not generous enough.
After reading this, I really feel that the rating of 8 points is really too low.
