It's been almost a week since my last post. To be honest, seeing all the other posts updating every day makes me want to write something too.
I happened to get up early today, so I figured I'd post something since I had nothing else to do. Okay, good morning everyone, enough chit-chat, let's get to the main point.
Judging from the title, this should be a review of "Rose Has Thorns, But It's Sweet Too." "Rose Has Thorns, But It's Sweet Too" is a novel by Yang Xiaowai. I found this book on a platform called Tangyuan Creation, where I currently have a contract. I don't know much about the author, Yang Xiaowai, but one thing I'm sure of is that he's very dedicated to writing novels and updates daily.
As you can see from the accompanying image, this novel has two covers: one is the author's original cover, and the other is Tangyuan's official cover. As for which one is the original and which is the official cover, you can guess for yourselves if you're interested; I'll keep that a secret!
The author has written eight books in total, of which I only really enjoy reading three: "The Last Blooming Tea Rose," "Poppy Addicted to Blood," and "Rose Has Thorns, But It's Sweet Too." Of these three books, my favorite is undoubtedly *Rose Has Thorns, But It's Sweet*.
Compared to the ancient-style novel *The Last Blooming Tea Rose*, which has a sad ending, *Rose Has Thorns, But It's Sweet* is a CEO romance novel with a reborn female protagonist; the title itself suggests it's also a sweet story. I love the female protagonist, Hong Rose, just as I love the female protagonists of the other two novels, Mo Cha Mi and Yin Susu.
Of course, in *Rose Has Thorns, But It's Sweet*, I don't have a favorite, only a least favorite. There are three key characters in this novel that are indispensable. Aside from the male and female protagonists (Yang Yang and Hong Rose), there's the scumbag Chen Ya, whom I hate the most in the novel. The second most hated is Chen Tianjin, who adopted him. Oh, and I almost forgot about the scheming Cui Jie.
Rose, a girl as beautiful as a rose, is the female protagonist. I don't know what she was thinking before her rebirth. She had someone who loved her so much, yet she didn't want him, choosing instead to love a narcissistic scumbag—of course, that narcissist is Chen Ya. In the end, everyone the female protagonist cared about died because of her, and she committed suicide out of overwhelming regret. Only after being reborn did she realize how terribly wrong she had been before, how much the male protagonist loved her, and what Chen Ya's true colors were.
Yang Tong, although not a key character, is a close friend of the female protagonist in the novel. She is the male protagonist's sister and also loves Chen Ya. Because of Chen Ya, she and the female protagonist argued countless times; before Chen Ya appeared, they were very close sisters. It was only later that she saw Chen Ya's true colors.
Honestly, I can't summarize the entire plot. In short, this novel mainly tells the love story of Yangyang and Rose; the other characters are supporting roles. No matter how much I say, it's better to read it for yourself.
In this novel, I learned that the male protagonist is someone who would do anything for the female protagonist he loves, including giving up his own life to protect her from the threats of a scumbag. The male protagonist always puts the female protagonist first, so much so that even after winning her over, he feels insecure, constantly suspecting she still loves the scumbag. When his sister is hurt by the scumbag, he wants to seek justice for her and even plans to take action against him, but he doesn't dare tell the female protagonist the truth, fearing it will hurt her. It must be said, if you have someone like the male protagonist in your life, you should cherish them. After all, novels aren't reality; having someone who loves you by your side is not easy, and some people, once missed, can never be regained.
In this novel, I also understood what kind of person Chen Ya is: a narcissistic fickle man. He has never truly loved anyone and doesn't understand what true love is. Of course, a person's goodness or badness isn't absolute; it may be greatly influenced by their surroundings. Because of certain people, events, or even environmental factors, good people can become bad, and bad people can become good. For example, Pei Yingying, the female protagonist's classmate, is a typical example. In this novel, I have to say, Chen Ya is definitely not a good person, and honestly, I'm really looking forward to his ending!
Since this novel is not yet finished, I can only say so much.
