Chapter 875: Suppressing the Little Queen (Part 1)

June 1.

The world-renowned Sherlock Holmes series serialized two stories, "Lion's Mane" and "The Veiled Tenant".

As exciting as ever, this is the fifth and sixth story in the new detective case, and it is infinitely close to the predetermined end; and in "Jianghu" magazine, the martial arts newcomer Qingshan Zhanjian's masterpiece "The Legend of the White-haired Witch" has also entered the final stage. The contradiction between the male protagonist Zhuo Yihang and the female protagonist Yu Luosha is deepening, and they are drifting further and further apart, attracting countless heated discussions about the plot...

Of course, the hottest current events are not these.

The Dragon Country Romance Queen Hong Chenwu released a new work "On the Other Side of the Water", which coincided with the national writer Luoyang's new book "The Legend of Zhen Huan" with the same theme. The gorgeous collision of the same type and background, combined with the well-known "persimmon" stalk on the Internet, made this unique book war once it started, It has attracted widespread attention from both inside and outside the industry-

This is the hottest current event!

In major bookstores, posters of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "On the Waterside" stand side by side.

Yes, in the Dragon Country romance market, although Hong Chenwu's appeal is much stronger than Luoyang, who focuses on martial arts, national writers are national writers after all, and the fighting power of their pure fans should not be underestimated. Therefore, in addition to "On the Waterside", which has an amazing opening popularity, there are many people who buy "The Legend of Zhen Huan"...

Tang Jinxuan is one of Luoyang's pure fans.

Because many people around me have said that it is not inappropriate to use the name Tang Jinxuan as the heroine of romance novels.

So Tang Jinxuan has had an indissoluble bond with romance novels since she was very young. She has read works by famous romance writers such as Lu Bing, Mi Hu, Hong Chenwu, etc., but Tang Jinxuan's favorite works are "First Intimate Contact", "Living with the Air Hostess", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and even "Nirvana in Fire" written by Luoyang...

Lu Fei and Ran Jing.

Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi

Qingwu Feiyang and Pizi Cai.

The talented scholar Mei Changsu and Princess Nihuang...

The characterization of these characters is very classic. Tang Jinxuan has always liked them. Later, this feeling for the characters also spread to film and television works. The successful film and television adaptation of these works made Tang Jinxuan like Luoyang even more!

So as soon as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was released today, she lined up in the bookstore to buy it.

Of course, Tang Jinxuan also learned about the online joke that Hongchenwu regarded Luoyang as a "soft persimmon". It can be seen that most people do not think that Luoyang can beat her opponent Hongchenwu in the book market. However, in Tang Jinxuan's view, Hongchenwu may not be able to win Luoyang. As a senior romance reader, she has also read Hongchenwu's works. They are wonderful, but not heartfelt.

It always gives people a feeling of being too craftsmanlike.

On the other hand, Luoyang is not a professional romance writer, but Luoyang's ability to write romance is absolutely unquestionable, and it is quite heartfelt and touching. After all, Luoyang led the trend when he serialized romance novels on Weibo.

"A copy of The Legend of Zhen Huan."

"A copy of The Waterside."

"I want a copy of The Waterside."

"I want both The Legend of Zhen Huan and The Waterside, check out together."

The customers in front were all queuing to check out. Judging from the current situation, the number of readers who bought The Waterside was obviously more than The Legend of Zhen Huan. After all, Luoyang's influence was more concentrated on martial arts and science fiction. However, Tang Jinxuan also understood the rules of the book market a little bit. She knew that the final performance of a book was not determined by the first-day sales. When external factors were exhausted, it was the word of mouth that determined the market of the work.

Moreover, although more people bought The Waterside...

However, the sales of The Legend of Zhen Huan were not low either. There was a gap, but it was not exaggerated.

It was Tang Jinxuan's turn. Tang Jinxuan put the unopened The Legend of Zhen Huan and The Waterside on the counter together and said to the waiter: "I want both books."

Yes, in addition to The Legend of Zhen Huan, Tang Jinxuan also bought The Waterside.

She doesn't like to follow the crowd. She wants to judge for herself instead of blindly following the trend.

After buying the book, Tang Jinxuan returned to her residence, lay down leisurely in the bedroom, and tore open the packaging of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Compared with "On the Waterside", she is more looking forward to Luoyang's return to romance after several years.

Skipping the preface, Tang Jinxuan went straight to the first chapter: [The day I first entered the palace was a very sunny day. It was the 20th day of the eighth lunar month in the twelfth year of Qianyuan, an auspicious day. Standing in the empty courtyard of the Forbidden City, you can see the extremely clear sky, as blue as a pool of jade, without a trace of clouds, and occasionally wild geese fly by in groups...]

Tang Jinxuan's reading speed is not slow, and she finished the first chapter soon.

The plot of the first chapter tells the story of Zhen Huan participating in the selection. Zhen Huan is the daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. She doesn't want to enter the palace, but she is outstanding in talent and appearance, and is still selected by the emperor to become one of the harem.

It was a standard start. The name of the heroine Zhen Huan explained the origin of the title of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". In the beginning, the heroine's family, background, friends, personality and other factors were briefly introduced. The interesting part was that the character introduction was very well-researched, and the early characters must have their own image, rather than being stereotyped.

Tang Jinxuan continued to read.

As she read, the background of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" began to emerge.

A gorgeous and bloody palace fight, which started with Zhen Huan looking like the late Chun Yuan, was extremely cruel. The typical characters also appeared one after another, such as the proud and reckless Concubine Hua; the inferior and depressed daughter of the county magistrate An Lingrong; the double-faced queen; the outspoken and chaste Shen Meizhuang; the scheming Concubine Cao; the mysterious and miserable Concubine Duan...

It was like a flower album, and the beauties in the harem had composed a magnificent chapter!

In this symphony, there were tears, blood, sweat, betrayal, warmth, indifference, cruelty, and infatuation. The scenes of joy and sorrow were all played out in Tang Jinxuan's heart.

Click.

The sound of the door opening sounded.

The roommate who had just returned from a date with her boyfriend took the key to open the door, returned home, looked at the kitchen, and shouted: "Tang Jinxuan, what are you doing? You are at home, but you didn't even cook dinner?"

Tang Jinxuan stopped reading.

She found that her eyes were sore and her stomach was rumbling. The feeling of hunger spread all over her brain nerves!

She looked at the time and found that it was already 10:30 in the evening. It turned out that she had been reading for nearly 12 hours without realizing it. It was really crazy. Not only did she forget to eat lunch, she even forgot to cook dinner...

The last time I forgot to eat while reading a novel was a few years ago, right?
