Chapter 164. It is better to enjoy things with others than to enjoy them alone.
The plot of the novel written by Yu Qing is very simple. It’s the story of a girl from a privileged background who faces great adversity, chances upon a fortuitous encounter, and ultimately embarks on the path of cultivation.
Although the storyline is clichéd, the details are quite innovative, and the writing is beautiful, making it a pleasant read.
However, the poison point soon appears. When the protagonist achieves success in cultivation and returns to her hometown, she finds her childhood friend forced to marry a rich woman in her forties.
The protagonist wants to rescue the boy, but to her surprise, he tearfully refuses, expressing that he also loves her. However, he is an ordinary person, and cannot be with a cultivator for long, so he decides to stay and marry the rich woman, accepting his mundane destiny.
On the wedding night of the boy and the rich woman, the protagonist stands silently outside the window, listening to the impassioned scene inside.
She plays a melancholic tune on the flute and then leaves gracefully.
Fang Zhou nearly dies of poison upon reading this. He can’t understand how Yu Qing came up with such a plot, especially the flute-playing scene outside the window, which is just too provocative and utterly captivating.
This part of the novel is just an appetizer. On her path of cultivation, the protagonist will encounter lively and cute younger male juniors, and handsome and dashing older male seniors, all of whom have feelings for her.
Unfortunately, these male characters, for various reasons, have to fall into the arms of other women. Every time there is an intense scene, the protagonist is present, and one male character even shouts with tears while working, "Don’t look!"
Fang Zhou is almost dumbfounded at this point. It’s more exciting than any erotic novel he’s ever read.
