I keep coming back to the garbage bin imagery and I think the whole novel is built on this idea of things—and people—being discarded. He Zheng found Xiao Wei in a garbage bin. He himself feels discarded by the industry, reduced to livestreaming and background roles. The apartment is full of spoiled food, things past their use-by date, things that should have been thrown away but weren't because no one was left to do the throwing. And then there's the hair dryer. This ridiculous, rhinestone-studded, wind-effect gift that completely covers He Zheng's face on stream. On the surface it's funny—maybe even absurd. But what is it really? A object that blows air, that dries what's wet, that's noisy and attention-grabbing and ultimately... empty. The Top Supporter sends dozens of them. It's like he's trying to communicate something but only knows how to send noise. The gifts don't say anything. They just fill the screen. He Zheng's long hair is another symbol that won't leave me alone. He's kept it since childhood, partly because his foster mother liked dressing him as a girl, partly because it became his brand, his survival. When the director tells him to cut it for a male role, the hair becomes a literal question: will he sacrifice his identity for a chance? The fact that he considers it—actually considers it—says everything about how far he's fallen. The bamboo tattoo on the Top Supporter's arm is inked in traditional style, elegant yet dangerous. Bamboo bends but doesn't break. I wonder if that's who this person is, or who they're trying to be.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Li Rui as a character? This man is the most realistically written employee in fiction. His entire personality is: boss is terrifying, my bank account is beautiful, I choose life. When Gong Hengye tells him to throw away the multi-million dollar projector, Li Rui's brain goes through the entire human emotional spectrum in about three seconds: confusion → panic → sycophancy → compliance. "Do you even hear what you're saying... I mean, how could you be so right? Boss, rest assured, I'll handle it immediately!" I wheezed. This man has mastered the art of corporate survival and I respect it deeply. The dialogue between Gong Hengye and Cheng Yong'an is also chef's kiss. Cheng Yong'an's voice is so distinct—gossipy, blunt, genuinely caring underneath the teasing. His line "I love hearing anyone's gossip" while simultaneously being the only person Gong Hengye actually opens up to? Perfect friendship dynamics. And the way Gong Hengye's dialogue shifts between scenes is masterful. In the office with Wen Yue, he's all clipped, cold, dismissive. With Cheng Yong'an, he's vulnerable without meaning to be. And then with Wen Yue in the thunderstorm? "Am I really that scary?" That's a completely different register. Soft. Almost wounded. The man who spent the whole chapter being ruthless can't figure out why the dead girl he's tormenting is also the one he's desperately trying to protect. Wen Yue's dialogue is deceptively simple. She says things like "Your boss is really fierce. Don't you find it terrifying working for him?" and then later, to Gong Hengye himself: "I only came in because you weren't here. Besides, when you left, you didn't say I couldn't come in even if you were gone." She's playing with him, testing boundaries, but there's this underlying current of genuine fear and vulnerability. And that final line—"I'll leave once the thunder stops"—is so small and pathetic and she probably thinks she's being clever but it just makes her sound like a scared child. Which, honestly, she is. A ghost child who happens to be the love of a man's life.
Let me just list the conflicts in this batch because the density is insane: 1. Jiang vs. the rice seeds (external—will she actually succeed?) 2. Jiang vs. Li Jueyan (external—family power vs. orphan with no backing) 3. Li Jueyan vs. Li Jueming (internal family conflict—cousins fighting) 4. Jiang vs. Chen Pan (external—she knows he's the forum smearer, he knows she knows) 5. Uncle Li vs. the Li family patriarch (external—twenty years of absence culminating in a confrontation) 6. Jiang vs. spiritual energy scarcity (internal/external—she needs more energy to grow stronger but the world is thin) The stakes keep rising and the author never lets us forget what's at risk. When Li Jueyan offers fifty thousand yuan, it's not just an insult—it's a test. Can Jiang be bought? Will she abandon her department, her goals, her identity? Her response isn't just defiance; it's a statement that she won't be controlled. The physical fight between the cousins is where the stakes become visceral. This isn't just verbal sparring anymore. Li Jueyan strikes first. Li Jueming aims for the face. Other students have to break it up. The bias in the "mediation" shows how the Li family's influence extends even into how conflicts are resolved. And underneath all of this is the largest conflict: humanity vs. a dying world. The Revival Plan. The disaster that's coming in four years. The rising mortality rates. Every small conflict in this batch echoes the larger one. Jiang is preparing for a world that's already ending, and every seed she plants, every ability she tests, every enemy she makes is part of that preparation. The stakes aren't just personal—they're existential.
I feel so attached to Ben’s story. It makes me reflect on life’s struggles and perseverance.
will you complete the novel or drop it?Roughly how many chapters will be in the novel
This might actually be a good. The format of the writing makes it difficult to read. Make sure you indent, separate paragraphs, and don't make it look like a long sentence.
Hello my lovely readers!I've never done this before. This is my first time reviewing my own novel. First of, I've given myself five stars. For many of you, Imperial Nanny Ying Yue is my third novel on Webnovel but it's the first novel I've ever written. I took a lot of time thinking about the plot and the world building. Anyway as the synopsis says, the story relates the story of Prince Li Wei, a deaf-mute kid, Emperor Li Jun, a devastated emperor who stopped living after the disappearance of his wife, and Ying Yue, a nanny employed to take care of Prince Li Wei.The story will revolve around those three protagonist and their way to happiness. The female lead isn't like your common female protagonist who tolerates being step down by others. This female protagonist is strong, independent who values relationships above all else. She does justice her own way. I won't say anything more than this. The story isn't perfect as is the author herself. The story may have flaws, but this is part of the journey as an author. If this is the kind of story you're looking for, do gave it a try!!!
Harem?
Very good novel so far with a super interesting plot however update stability is not the best, if this had more chapters and not over a week since a new one has dropped this would be the best novel on the app imo.
without reason I just don't love part of the witch who helps strengers
Lucia’s struggle to survive in a dangerous dystopian world is gripping. The setting feels vivid, and Eric’s mysterious introduction adds intrigue. A great start—I’m excited to see what happens next!
What to expect from the story: smut, explicit writing, degenerate human behavior.Main character is extremely cautious, but when he feels confident in his ability, he will be cocky.And also, don't expect him to care about his women.
