Description

HE who was the young lord of the powerful Tong Sect went ahead to complete his mission by wiping out the 5 wealthy families in Suzhou who had become wealthy through ill-gotten means with the evidences he had collected. The Jin Family (XB’s family) was one of them. They were charged with corruption and was punishable by death from the Emperor. The Jin family’s wealth were looted by the Tong Sect and turned penniless overnight. XB and his parents were imprisoned by the court.

The 15 year old youth is Zheng Huai En (ML). His real name is Zong Zheng Huai En (HE). The surname “Zong Zhen” had lineage to the Emperor. HE was the son of the Emperor’s Royal Consort who was only 2nd in rank after the Empress. The Royal Consort was a rare beauty of all the lands and the Emperor doted on her only. Unfortunately, the jealous Empress schemed and had her banished to the Cold Palace (palace for concubines who lost favours from the Emperor), losing favour of the Emperor. The Royal Consort gave birth to HE and died of a difficult delivery in the Cold Palace. The Emperor thought the baby was dead but was in fact secretly smuggled out of the palace by his love rival, the 2nd Prince.I chose this Chinese Bl novel because there was no review about it in Novel Updates, it’s not fully translated yet and it’s as if there are not many readers yet. But I trust my favourite author – I just need to stomach her flavourful formula of violence, circumstantial rape, betrayal, angst, pent-up frustrations, possessive and handsome male lead. And I wasn’t disappointed at all. This novel has all of these. HE had planned for XB’s escape from prison but his plan failed resulting in XB being poisoned and tortured by his old time enemy. XB and his parents were later saved by XB’s childhood friend, Su Yin.

Following the lives of three generations of the Trueba family, this novel is marked by the decision of matriarch Clara to fall silent for nine years after the death of her older sister. In place of speech, Clara turns to writing, art and her spiritual powers as alternative means to connect with the world around her. This is suitably beguiling proof that shouting the loudest isn’t always the best way to be heard. Another point to note is this novel is the author’s first novel. She wrote this novel in 2010 when she was a University 3rd year student. Her later novels just got better. Overall I enjoyed reading this novel that I couldn’t put it down. And I will definitely recommend you to read this novel. The 2nd Prince who had fought for the throne with the Emperor and lost had built his own empire outside the Palace. He was the sect leader of the powerful Tong Sect. He raised HE as his own son, scheming to have HE kill his own biological father, the Emperor and claim the throne for him.

I’ll rate this bl novel 3.5/5 if not a 4/5 as I would have wished the author had tied up some loose ends to this story. In my novel, The Silent Treatment , Frank and Maggie have been married for 40 years but they haven’t spoken for the last six months. It is at once an uplifting love story and a mystery, an emotional drama and a meditation on trauma in a family. The further I explored the subject of silence in my characters’ lives, the more I learned that it is a compound of nuances that mean something different to everyone. Silence can be both terrifying and calming, at once isolating and communicative in its own way, depending on who is expressing it.

Photograph: Entertainment Pictures/AlamyWhat I was not satisfied of this novel was that the author could have probably tied up the lose ends of HE’s birth right as a Prince and probably as the Crown Prince. HE is probably not interested in living in the Palace nor inherit any Royal titles but how would an Emperor do nothing for him knowing that his son is staying outside the Palace? It would probably be more satisfying for the Emperor to provide some kind of title or recognition for HE, spend some quality time with son or Emperor disguised as a mentor to get close to long lost son kind of plot would be quite satisfying and heart warming. At the same time, banish the evil Empress for her wrong doings. When Steffi, a selective mute, meets Rhys, a deaf pupil at her school, their worlds begin to open up. For Steffi, the prospect of speech is riddled with anxiety and Barnard provides a sensitive exploration of the issue for a young adult audience. Steffi and Rhys communicate in part through BSL, a fascinating entry point into deaf culture. As their friendship quietly builds in something more, will Steffi find her voice and the courage to use it, again? In February 2004 Across The Face Of The World, the first book in Russell's Fire of Heaven fantasy trilogy was published by HarperCollins Voyager Australia, and has been sold into a number of overseas countries. The second volume, In The Earth Abides The Flame, was published in August 2004, with the concluding volume, The Right Hand Of God, published in February 2005. Across the Face of the World was published by Orbit in the UK in May 2006, and the second and third novels will follow at six-monthly intervals. He is now at work on another novel, The Path of Revenge. To keep shtum, or not to keep shtum – that’s one of the big questions in play in this Booker prize-shortlisted novel. From Paul and Lola’s silence over Robbie’s wrongful imprisonment to Briony’s attempt at repentance through voicing her version of the truth, it’s a story that shows just how compelling silence can be as a narrative device. But with XB’s shameless courting, HE tasted man’s lust and sex. XB wanted to have the opportunity to top HE but every time he failed miserably. 🤣 HE found consolation for his lust in the body of XB. XB was not a gay but he was smitten by HE’s beauty that he was bent to become bisexual. He vowed that no matter what he will only love HE. He confessed to HE and promised that he will only love him forever.

HE was stumped but he accepted XB and told XB he could only love him and nobody else. HE didn’t know what he liked about XB since XB had no merits to brag about. But having sex with XB definitely felt really good and he looked cute and probably good to hug to sleep. Both HE and XB were obsessed with each other but HE is probably the more possessive of the two. If fact, he’s the most possessive one whereas XB adored HE to the max wanting to provide the best for HE. In their fiery and angsty exchanges, HE realised what he did wrong and about XB’s poison. But I’m glad he didn’t let go of XB easily and instead tried to atone his sins by searching for the rare flower herbs to cure his poison and returned XB’s kidnapped adopted sister. It was a long, arduous and perilous journey for HE to get XB’s forgiveness but he finally won it through his perseverance and sincerity. If I were to identify one unifying feature in the books listed below, it would be the way in which readers themselves are made to work harder when confronted with an impenetrable quiet. After all, it could be saying anything … At this moment, HE was unable to leave Tong Sect and was imprisoned by his adopted father, the Sect Leader (2nd Prince). His attempt to flee the Sect failed and he was badly injured. Three months later, he promised to complete his last mission for the sect and thereafter, be set free from the Sect. The ordeal made XB realise how gullible he was in the past. He was upset that HE betrayed their love and trust and made use of him for sex and then ditched him. He really hated him to the bones now.One day when he was on his way to send gifts to a beauty and ask for her hand in marriage, he encountered a rare beauty clad in white. “She” was fighting with a group of people and XB tried to rescue “her”. He was smitten by her beauty that he’s deemed that “she” was the only one he will marry. Thereafter he tried all ways to woo her. I have long been fascinated by silence. As noisy child and adolescent, I experienced a fair few arched eyebrows when I decided to write my undergraduate dissertation on ellipsis in modernist literature. Fast forward four years to when I started writing fiction and the subject of silence was still at the forefront of my mind, specifically the sort that can settle at the centre of a long-term relationship.
