Summary

Xue Ling Zixiao, the deity in charge of snowfall in the heavenly realm, first meets the woman Qingkong by the shores of Weiming Lake and falls deeply infatuated, yet Qingkong has always loved her beloved Lengshuang. Unable to obtain what he desires, Zixiao in his anger casts a curse, forcibly separating the devoted pair. Qingkong leaps from a cliff in despair; Lengshuang, unaware of this, pours all his life's cultivation into forging a sword, its hilt engraved with the two characters "Qingshuang," taken from both their names. From then on, the two souls are hidden within the sword, fading from the world. Two hundred years later, because of the legend of the "Qingshuang" sword, turmoil rises again in the martial world, and the reincarnated Qingkong and Lengshuang meet again in the first cycle of rebirth. The curse from the previous life then comes true: as fate turns, the two always stand on opposite sides, fighting each other over the "Qingshuang" sword, unaware that within it lies a secret that will leave one desolate. The book unfolds in sections such as "Zixiao," "First Life: This Love, Cold as Frost and Snow" and "Second Life: The Song Ends, People Scatter, Love Hard to Sever," telling the three-life entanglement in which love is born of fate and at last extinguished by the curse; the tone is cool and clear, in the vein of ancient-style tragic romance. The book was planned and supervised by An Yiru.

Editor's review

《青霜》是顾天蓝较早的一部古风长篇,由安意如策划并监制,2010年由万卷出版公司推出。书中将仙神、诅咒、铸剑与三世轮回这几样东西编织在一条主线上:一把以两人名字命名的剑,既承载着深情,也承载着拆散他们的诅咒,而这个设定本身就决定了故事的结局基调。叙事分为“第一世”与“第二世”两大部分,前者写争夺与离散,后者写转世重逢后的对立与误解,最后把“剑中秘密”作为揭开谜底的关键。语言偏清冷细腻,抒情段落较多,适合喜欢宿命感、以“虐”为看点的古风读者。需要提醒的是,本书并非现代校园故事;如果你的阅读目标与此不同,可以先看看样章,再作决定。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 喜欢古风仙侠虐恋、对三世轮回设定有偏好的读者
  • 爱读以剑器、诅咒为核心意象的东方奇幻爱情故事的人
  • 欣赏抒情笔调、能接受缓慢铺陈与多世叙事的读者
  • 对安意如策划监制的古风言情作品感兴趣的读者

Not a good fit for

  • 想看现代校园青春恋爱的读者
  • 更偏好快节奏、强冲突升级流的读者
  • 不喜悲剧感浓、宿命论色彩重故事的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读序与“紫潇”一节,弄清诅咒的由来,再进入第一世、第二世,否则容易被人物的多重化身绕晕。
  2. 留意青空转世为子瞳、长歌,冷霜化身为沧海等对应关系,边读边记,可减少混淆。
  3. 把“青霜”剑当作叙事主线来读,注意它在每一世中易手的意义变化。
  4. 读完后可对照作者后来的《三生三世青霜劫》,比较同一世界观下的改写与增补。

About the author

Gu Tianlan Author

Gu Tianlan is an author for whom publicly available information is currently very limited; details such as nationality, dates of birth and death have not been clearly recorded. According to the bibliographic data at hand, only one work is listed under this name, namely Qingshuang (Frost). In terms of common categories, this work is classified as women's fiction and ancient romance, suggesting that it is aimed at female readers and centers on emotional narratives set against an ancient backdrop. Ancient romance typically unfolds through a particular historical atmosphere and character relationships, emphasizing the development of emotional threads and the portrayal of characters' inner lives, and Gu Tianlan's writing appears to follow this general path. Because both the number of works and biographical materials are quite limited, it is difficult at present to make a more specific judgment about the overall direction of her style, her stages of creation, or her literary influence. Only Qingshuang can confirm her basic position within this genre, and further details await future information.
