Yo~ The art is great. Chinese novel covers such as these are attractive and soothing. (ㆁᴗㆁ✿)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the story is Mistaken Marriage Match: Mysteries in the Imperial Harem.
I never have liked the emperor. Have you? I also never liked the idea of having one's sister's left overs, even if it's just her admirers. (¬_¬) Well, due to these reasons, I was rooting for the other dude as he's caring towards her. It's clear that they truly love each other. It's unfortunate that they were a pair of lovers born in the wrong era. (╥_╥) Even if they're together in other life times, this novel's time line won't be made up for. ლಠ益ಠ)ლ
I'm sorry for my rant. y( ̄ー ̄)y
It is a really sad ending for her. That is the last book of the three sisters, and the sadest. I liked the first 2 do. The story of the others sisters is happier, dramatic of course but with happy endings. The second couple was the best.
ReplyDeleteStill, the drawings are beautifull.
