Summary

Wings of Rosemary is one installment of Yue Xingxi's four-book Fallen-Wing Angels series, published by New World Press in 2008. The story takes place at Radiant Academy: the heroine, Lan Gui'er, is notorious throughout the school, operating under a string of nicknames such as "the Gambling Fiend," "the Ugly Ghost," and "the Gossip Girl," using these carefully cultivated labels to conceal her true identity and throwing the campus into a state of unease. Mu Xuehan, known as the "Iceberg Prince," vows to drive this "flower-wilting" villain out of Radiant Academy for the sake of campus peace. As one of the "Four Great Villains," Lan Gui'er is not one to rest on her reputation; a wicked bet that leaves both parties twitching with frustration kicks off their contest. Meanwhile, a proud and alluring mysterious transfer student, Lu Xifei, arrives; he appears and disappears unpredictably, always pestering Lan Gui'er and confronting the two princes head-on, making her life "colorful." New developments emerge in the Angel Town serial kidnapping case, and danger even reaches the "Four Great Villains"; as they face it side by side, Mu Xuehan gains a new understanding of Lan Gui'er, and Lu Xifei's true purpose gradually becomes clear. With a light, comedic style, a quirky heroine, a love-hate romance, and a mix of campus daily life and secrets of origin, the work belongs to the type of campus youth web novel that was quite popular at the time.

Editor's review

如果你怀念2008年前后那种一路笑到抽气的校园言情,这本书是典型样本。月星汐的文风以轻松搞笑、古灵精怪见长,笔下的女主角几乎都是能折腾、会打嘴仗的“麻烦精”,男主角则负责被气到抽搐还要硬撑人设。本书看点有三:一是蓝瑰儿的“多重外号”设定,恶赌、装丑、八卦这些标签层层叠叠,读起来像在拆一个又一个恶作剧包裹;二是慕雪寒与她的“恶赌”主线,欢喜冤家的对峙台词密度很高,翻页速度快;三是转校生路希斐带来的三角关系与神魔背景,把单纯的校园故事悄悄推向更大的格局。作为“落翼天使”四部曲之一,它可与《玫瑰之翼》《噼里啪啦恋爱吧》《哎呀,爱呀》并读,口味更完整。需要提醒的是,书中人设、胜负桥段与“王子—恶女”的配对逻辑都非常“古早”,用今天的眼光看会觉得套路外露、夸张用力,但作为一代读者的青春记忆载体,它的轻快与不计后果的幽默依然有感染力。适合当成周末一晚读完的甜点型读物,不必较真,跟着笑就好。

Reading tips

  1. 先接受作品的喜剧基调:夸张人设与嘴仗对白是笑点而非漏洞,放松心态阅读体验最佳。
  2. 可以把慕雪寒与蓝瑰儿的“恶赌”往来当作主线暗线交替去读,留意两人态度如何一点点松动。
  3. 若想完整感受系列设定,可按《玫瑰之翼》《噼里啪啦恋爱吧》《迷迭之翼》《哎呀,爱呀》的顺序补读。
  4. 读完后不妨回头梳理路希斐每次出场埋下的伏笔,会发现作者对结局早有铺垫。
