Okay, the summary on cxt8 doesn't really make sense, but basically, Fang Yuan Yuan realizes her husband, Xiao Jue, married her to get revenge on her family. Xiao Jue causes the death of nearly all her family members and she bombs his wedding for vengeance. She is sent back into the body of Fang Liu Su, who marries Lord Xiao Jue in place of her sister but Xiao Jue wanted to marry her sister to torture her as she had caused the death of one of his close friends. Instead, he gets Liu Su whom he pretends to despise but is slowly attracted to her.
Oh xiaoyuer, you stole my Cgege, lol. Anyway, thanks for posting since it is hard to translate such a long title to make sense. The female reader is the girl from your fav book Eastern Palace. I don't really fancy her. Anyway I will support Cgege's book but this will take sometime to finish updating.
I've listened to chapter 1 at the weekend & even recommended it to atsu bcos I know both of you like this kind of palace angst:P Although the modern Xiao Jue is not really the male lead, I dislike him very much. I read some spoilers so I think I know the ending which can be considered happy yet not really. I am not sure I read the correct spoiler. I read a modern book by this author before but that book is quite funny yet this book feels sad:(
Yeah I had trouble translating the title... It sounds really nice but it doesn't really make sense...
I definitely like palace angst stories and jealous dominating guys, but Xiao Jue (both modern and historical) are rubbing me the wrong way. He knows he is wrong for torturing her, but he reassures himself that its in the name of vengeance, but I don't think that is an appropriate excuse for how poorly he treats her. I'll continue listening for a few more chapters because it's C'gege though.
Spoiler !!!!
Don't worry, I think she is not gonna end up with the modern & ancient Xiao Jue. According to what i've read, in the ancient time, she won't end up with Xiao Jue but another guy. In the modern era, she'll end up with the ancient Xiao Jue but he is not called Xiao Jue in the modern era but another name. Haha, sound convoluted? When I was listening to the spoilers with my limited mandarin, my head was spinning, lol.
醉枕江山 - This book is rather popular at cxt8 but I've not checked it out.
梦落芳华 - The male in this book is number 33 in my top 35 fav male characters in novels posted on my blog. The story is quite sad, maybe right up your alley.
Hi!!!! Landlord is back. lol
I saw this book some days ago, but totally passed it by, but I just realized that the girl reader was the one who read Eastern Palace when Peanuts mentioned. !!!!! I would really love to try this book out now because the reader pairing is one I'd really like listening too. I also like the torturing others torturing yourself type of angst. hahaha
Confusing, so Xiao Jue ancient and Xiao Jue modern is not one soul? They just share the same name?
I hope the ending won't be as bad as Eastern Palace. >< I don't like those kinds of endings.
Huh, you like the Eastern Palace reader? I find something wrong with her reading tone & speed, need more training.
Yah, some readers complain it is illogical that the modern Xiao Jue is not the ancient Xiao Jue when their characters are fairly similar. Ancient Xiao Jue reincarnated to become the male lead in modern era who'll end up with the female lead.
You can consider it has a happy ending. Although ancient Xiao Jue didn't end up with the female lead, modern Xiao Jue who has a different name will end up with the female lead. The bottomline is if you can't end up with your beloved this life, no worries, there is still next life, lol.
Yay, chancy! How have you been?
Xiao Jue as two different souls is so confusing... I'm all caught up with the chapters posted on ysts8 and it is getting interesting. Still not shipping any guy though.
I have a headache coming before I even started @____@.
Who are the OTP?!
Do not always ask the OTP, lol. Just follow your instinct. She will end up with diff guys in modern and ancient worlds so win win situation.
I like to know the ship's sailing schedule. Hate getting on wrong ship.
