Two Prides

Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who enjoy ancient secluded-household settings and back-court human maneuvering
- Readers who prefer a reborn heroine who resolves things by reason rather than cheat-like advantages
- Those with an interest in the ancient marriage system and the relations between legitimate and concubine-born
- Readers who need a long continuous read and are willing to grow slowly with the characters
Not a good fit for
- Traditional wuxia fans who expect pure martial-arts duels and sect warfare
- Readers impatient with extensive psychological description and philosophical dialogue
Reading tips
- Try viewing Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque as two sides of one whole, reading their choices and paths of growth in comparison.
- Pay attention to the logic behind the actions of supporting characters such as Yan Nantian and Palace Master Yaoyue; together they drive the protagonists' fate.
- Don't rush toward the plot's conclusion; savor the witty, pointed dialogue Gu Long leaves in key scenes.

About the author
Ni Luo is an author about whom little public information is available. What is known is that the author has four works to date, all belonging to the Shuang Jiao series: Shuang Jiao, Shuang Jiao 2, Shuang Jiao 3, and Shuang Jiao: The Finale. These works are commonly classified under modern romance and social fiction, suggesting that the writing deals both with the unfolding of emotional relationships and with depictions of social reality. The Shuang Jiao series is told across multiple consecutive volumes, with a single storyline running through several books, so readers follow the plot in sequence. Because no clear record of the author's life, nationality, or writing career is available, this introduction can only offer a brief account based on the existing bibliographic information; further judgment on style and literary influence must await more material.
