It is not love wind and dust, it seems to be mistaken by the leading edge. Flowers fall from time to time, always relying on the eastern monarch.

"A pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, a little zhu lips for thousands of people to taste." Speaking of Hanayagi Lane, more people may think of extravagant and chaotic relationships between men and women, but in Japan's famous Hanayagi Street Yoshihara, a concentration of prostitutes and prostitutes established in the early 17th century with the official permission of the shogunate, there are strict rules of "monogamy" to ensure the purity of the relationship between prostitutes and guests:
If the guest chooses a certain flower queen, he must not be involved with other warblers and swallows, otherwise he will be humiliated and punished, and the light will be inked on the face, and the hair will be cut off; correspondingly, in order to prove that her heart is sincere, the Qinglou woman will not only offer love letters, gifts, and a strand of hair to the guest, but even tattoo the guest's name on the body, or chop off a finger to give.

"Jiaoyi pile pillow horizontal phoenix, dissolve spring poplar flower dream." The self-contained Yoshihara is like the peach blossom garden of the Edo period, isolating the unbearable worries of reality from the towering walls. If you come to Yoshihara, you will be immersed in this beautiful dream woven by the love of men and women, and you will never return. But out of Yoshihara, the reality is still cold to the bone.
Tearing apart the appearance of Yoshihara's song and dance, the hidden hideous features are also naked: even though they wear chinese clothes and gold noodles, Yoshihara's wandering girls are like ugly ducklings draped in swan feathers, and they have no appearance in vain--most of them are born in poor families at the bottom of society, because their families are poor or homeless, they have to sell their lives to work, and some of them are composed of the daughters of the backward and desperate magnates in the family road.
No matter why they came to Yoshihara, once they become the caged birds of Youguo, they will be unable to escape for the rest of their lives.
In order to facilitate jurisdiction and prevent the wandering women from escaping, Yoshihara Yukoku is surrounded by high walls, and beyond the high walls is a wide trench called the Imperial Tooth Black Ditch. Anyone who wants to enter and exit Yoshihara normally can only pass through the main gate guarded by the town of Munban.
Even if the tourist girls are lucky enough to escape from this heavily guarded "prison", Yoshihara always has a way to catch the wandering girls who trample on the red line and impose inhumane punishments to set an example.
Of course, they are not without a chance to leave Yoshihara, who allows a wandering girl who has honestly reached the age of 28 or has been redeemed by an enke to leave without being hunted down.
But as far as the former is concerned, in the long career of the wandering girl, she has to face not only men with different sexual habits, obesity and ugliness, and body odor, but also countless fierce infectious diseases represented by syphilis and tuberculosis. Under the double torture of body and spirit, few wandering women can successfully survive to retirement. Even if the tiger's mouth escape comes to this step, where can a humble and undependent wandering girl go after leaving Yoshihara?
As for the latter, this passage is equally difficult as ascending to heaven. The cost of redeeming a wandering girl is extremely high, comparable to buying a house in The North, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Moreover, most of the guests only seek a moment of greed, only enjoy the pleasure of conquering the tourist girl, and the guests who are willing and capable of redeeming themselves for the tourist girl are very rare.

Therefore, being imprisoned like a canary is the beginning of the fate of the wandering girl, being picked and played by the guests like a commodity is the common sense of the fate of the wandering girl, and being discarded like a canary is the return of the fate of the wandering girl.
Even The highest-ranking wandering girl, Hua Kui, who is unparalleled in Fanghua, can hardly break this unbreakable shackle, and can only obediently abide by Yoshihara's rules: create the illusion of love, but never deliver the truth.
Because once the heart is moved, the wandering girl is like licking the poisonous candy, sweet but deadly: with others in mind, naturally there is no heart to serve the guest, which is a heavy betrayal between herself, her lover and the guest.
And a wandering girl who can no longer satisfy Enke, in the fate of the ruthless Yoshihara, naturally does not need to say much.

Yes, with Yoshihara as the background, the story chapter of the Otome game that tells the story of a beloved Hana-kuei who gradually sinks in true love - the story chapter of "Yoshihara's Other Side Flower Long Contract" is naturally filled with unfortunate footnotes.
Thanks to the high restoration of the cruel history of "Yoshihara's Other Shore Flower Long Contract", even those who have never known the history of Yoshihara can perceive the customs and customs here through its flowery words, as well as the tragic situation of the wandering girl hiding under the scenery.
Cherry blossoms are like beauties, and the red face is easy to dissipate. Nakanocho, the main thoroughfare that runs through Yoshihara, is full of cherry blossoms, and the beautiful flowers walk in the rain of flowers, and gu pan is dazzling.
But the scenery like her, although it constitutes the scenery of Yoshihara, has never had romance itself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="63" > who can fill the identity gap with love</h1>
As the protagonist of the story, Chihaya Hanaku is undoubtedly a pleasing image.
I will feel pity and sympathy for her because of her tragic experience: Chihaya Hana Keimoto is the daughter of an ordinary businessman, and because of the poor management of the family, she sold herself to Yoshihara to pay off her debts;
And will admire her strong and professional self-motivation: even in the dirty land of flowers and willows, she did not give up on herself, but with her own efforts, step by step to become a famous flower queen, beautiful and matchless, full of style, admirable;
At the same time, The innocence and delicacy of Chihaya Hanakuei in the face of her beloved, and the complex changes in her mood that she could not love, made me, who was also a young girl with spring, feel similar and close.
And the corresponding 5 raidable characters, although the Steam version of Yoshihara Ishana is less than the PS Vita/Switch version, but it also has its own pleasing and painful points -
The samurai "Ōtsuki Shinobi" is clever and funny, corresponding to the love of Hanaku and the official lord across social classes. However, how could Otsuki Shinobu, who would eventually become an official in politics, marry a fireworks woman from a poor background? Even if he was redeemed and left Yoshihara, Rin only went from one cage to another. Seeing the former lover empathize with each other, Rin will eventually be swallowed up by loneliness and jealousy.
Barge merchant "Yuichiro" is melancholy and gentle, corresponding to the love of green plum bamboo horses. Since unfortunate fate separated the two, in order to protect the promise of the year, they have been crawling in the rolling red dust for too long. However, no matter how much effort is made, it is still difficult to resist the cold and meanness of the tide of fate, and at the end of the story, the lover who resolutely adheres to the agreement is martyred at the bottom of the lake, and the romance of the tail life is achieved.
The indifferent and thin Sakura House owner "Shi Yu" corresponds to twisted and paranoid love. Growing up in the insults and beatings of his parents, Shi Yu was lonely and lonely, and it was the occasional concern of the heroine when she was a child that made his tightly closed heart crack a crack. But how can a person who does not know what love is give love? Under the domination of perverted possessiveness, the two collapsed and twisted little by little, and little by little they went to the edge of nothingness.
The arrogant and domineering loan lender "Zhangren" is a more traditional image of a domineering president. A man who can violently collect debts for money, a man who always thinks that he can solve problems with money, which is incompatible with the naturally kind Rin's character. Under the fuse of money, the trickery of fate eventually leads to an irreconcilable hatred between the two, turning the lover into a resentful partner.
The taciturn hairdresser "Shuo Yue" corresponds to a poor couple. In the daily work exchanges, the feelings are secret, but an ordinary craftsman who is illiterate and has no money, what capital does he love the flower queen who is worth thousands of dollars for a night of spring supper, and why can he bring her happiness and freedom?
The 5 attackable objects in the Steam version of "Yoshihara Other Side Flower", although their identities and personalities are different, but what they have in common is: the male protagonists who can enter and exit the high-end tour guo and spend thousands of dollars for Hua Kui have a difference in their identity from the Qianye Hanaku from poor families. Even if they really fell in love with the strong and kind Chihaya Hanakui in their long-term relationship, it was impossible to empathize with the suffering of Chihae Hanakui as a child of the cold door, and they could not subconsciously give an equal face to Chiaya Hanakui, and although their love was sincere, it was unequal in the beginning.
And the only special hair curler Shuo Yue, because he is not powerful and noble and has a simple heart, although he is the most empathetic of a male protagonist who can empathize with Chihaya Hanakuei. But it is precisely because there is no money that Shuoyue cannot possess the Qianye Flower Queen, let alone redeem herself, and even take the initiative to dress up the beloved woman and send her to other guests to celebrate day and night, what a painful experience?
The gap between identities is far from being crossed by love, and coupled with Yoshihara's cruel rules, tragedy happens naturally.
Most of the stories of "Yoshihara Other Side Flower" are like fish in the throat, ending in tragedy. Even the better endings of the last two people coming together have experienced all kinds of touching, tense, or critical conflicts and tribulations.
But this is precisely the charm of "Yoshihara Other Side Flower": the more it portrays the cruelty of the fate of Yoshihara's wandering girl in history, the more difficult it is to write true love, and the more the lovers' courage and determination to follow love can be fully revealed through the strong tragic color.
Although the ruthless Yoshihara used iron blood to block the wandering girl's way to freedom and love, I want to know the king and live a long life. The more unavoidable it is, the more it appears to be lingering; the more thorny the road is, the more tragic and moving it is.
In Yoshihara, the birdcage that imprisons the canary, the lovers trapped by love are even just a normal eye contact, flowing with an indescribable beauty of material sorrow, which is intoxicating.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > I was in Fireworks Willow Lane, looking for the purity of love</h1>
It may seem strange to say this, but I am far more obsessed with sad and sadistic love than sweet love stories. In games, movies, or various literary works, there are often stories that have experienced all kinds of ups and downs, but ended in tragedy, such as Liang Zhu, Romeo and Juliet, Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing who have doubled butterflies.
It made me think: When I like sadomasochism, what do I like?
I think what I like is not the deliberate misfortune, but in the process of people suffering for love, I found the proof of love and verified the purity of love.
It is human instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, if you love a person will be painful, loving a person will make yourself suffer losses, and people will easily give up. But if a person is willing to carry the shackles for you, willing to break the shackles for you, after a thousand years of pain, or the original intention remains with you unchanged, until death - people will call this true love.
In modern society, people occasionally verify love through "doing" based on this mentality: if he loves me enough, he can endure trouble, even if this trouble is deliberately done by me.
But after all, healthy love in modern society is often based on the premise that both parties benefit together, and we should not use "artificial difficulties" to verify each other's sincerity, nor should we blur the boundary between reality and fiction.
It is precisely because of this that it is necessary for fictional works to assume this responsibility, to put things that go against the common sense of reality, to put things that people dare not think about in the works, so that we can pursue the fanaticism of love and the sincerity of love through a story that will not really hurt anyone.
The reason why "Yoshihara Other Shore Flower" is romantic and moving is precisely because the men and women of Yoshihara have to constantly experience the pain of loss from the moment they have developed love, experienced the test of human morality, social rules, and worldly vision, and are constantly forced to make a choice between the two, and they are followed by the line, the road is obstructed and long, but they will never give up.
Love is a rare thing in the world, but in Yoshihara, a place where the paper is drunk and gold, there is a period of life-and-death love in rebellion. The daughter of Yoshihara, she should not have known love, let alone loved, but in the story of "Yoshihara's Other Shore Flower", there is a rare pair of lovers in the world who "two mandarin ducks in the sea dry stone rot, only double fly and die".
The courtyard deeply locks the girl, but it cannot lock the girl's thoughts about her sweetheart; the high wall stops the teenager, but it cannot stop the teenager's determination to find freedom with his lover.
Yoshihara's path to love is certainly frightening, but the tribulations will only make them love deeper, love more brilliantly.
Emotions do not know what to do, and go deeper, the living can die, and the dead can live. I can see such pure love in the fireworks willow alley, it is really exciting, rare, and unforgettable.
