My boyfriend gives me 3,000 yuan every month! Tell me how to live!
I have been married to my boyfriend for more than three years. He dotes on me very much. Everything in life is up to me. Normally, the living expenses given to me every month are more than 5,000. It is because I saw a magic trick in this book. It took me two months to get rid of the spots and acne on my face. Now my best friends are envious of me! Scaring my boyfriend to the point of reducing my living expenses, book friends, tell me what should I do?
Author, may I get to know you? I randomly turned to this book when I was bored today. I don't know how to describe this feeling. I only know that the words that came to my mind at that moment were: This is what I was looking for! I'm not talking about the plot of the novel, I'm talking about your writing style, which I find amazing! I like it very much! Really hope to get to know you! Although I have no culture.
How many people scolded Bao Si, the enchantress who brought disaster to the country and the people, but how many people envied this woman who was regarded as her fate by King Zhou You. Although she brought disaster to the country, some people were willing to let her bring disaster.
Well! I don't know what to say. I'm really tired from reading this book. The more I read, the less I can stand it. I like this King You of Zhou and this kind of praise. Asking what love is in the world can teach you how to make love between life and death. Perhaps the love in the world is so unpredictable. King Zhou You could die for Bao Si, and Bao Si could also sacrifice for love. They both envied the pair of mandarin ducks, thinking that the other was more important than themselves; they also sympathized with the pair of mandarin ducks, because they could not depend on each other for life and death. King Zhou You had too many women, and they had no biological children of their own. I feel sad for them and tired of their lives. In fact, I have a selfish intention. I hope that King Zhou You can come back to life, stay away from officialdom and the world, and be together for the rest of his life. This is enough.
I never imagined that the story behind this would be so poignant...
The mediocre King You of Zhou, the beautiful woman brought disaster to Bao Si. This book subverted my understanding of that period of history. Ji Gongyan, who is ambitious, dares to love, hate and is deeply affectionate, Bao Si, whose mother serves the country, her people and the world... They all say that Bao Si is one of the four demon concubines, but they don't know the poignant story behind it... 😻

I never thought that Bao Si was a disaster because of her beauty. She was beautiful, but she never used her beauty to harm others like Daji did. Everyone said that she was one of the four great enchantresses in ancient times, but her fate was never in her own hands. She was just a poor woman. It cannot be denied that King You lost his country, but what does it have to do with this poor woman? I think there is some truth in what is said in the book. Bao Si loves Ji Gongyan, and she has to live in the palace without calculations. Every calculation she makes is to preserve his kingdom. Maybe the emperor was obsessed with this aloof and indifferent woman at first, but after being together for so many years, he must have seen her sincerity. History always records people's imagination, but everyone knows that the war drama "Princes" is simply fake...
People are complicated, and the real history is definitely not just about the king of Zhou being lustful and praising Si, which brought disaster to the country. There are stories between them that cannot be compiled in history books, and some unknown love and hatred. Everyone has their own thoughts. Under the combined effect of these, Bao Si's life and the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty cannot be summarized in four words. I like this book very much, the author's writing is very good.
She is as cold as ice, and she is as tender as water. She made a good chess move, and every move was planned by Himemiya Nirvana. She is Bao Si! He is stupid and cruel, and he is also ambitious. He made a good calculation and never thought that he would be included in the calculation. He is Himemiya Nirvana! She exchanged tenderness for his chivalry. Maybe this is Bao Si, maybe this is Ji Gong Nirvana, maybe this is their story! ! ! ! !
I used to think Bao Si was the demon queen who brought disaster to the country, but since I read this book, because I didn't have that much money, I didn't finish it in the middle. But from those few chapters, I fell in love with Bao Si, the demon queen who brought disaster to the country in the eyes of the world. I think people in the royal family can also fall in love with someone. I think: after meeting Bao Si and falling in love with Bao Si, King Zhou You may have hated the Great Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou You played the princes with beacon fire for Bao Si. Some people said Bao Si brought disaster to the country, and some said King Zhou You was fatuous, but I envy the love between them, the kind of love that is willing to destroy a country for one person. I think if King You of Zhou and Bao Si were just ordinary people, then most people would envy, yearn for, and praise their love. However, they criticize them because King You of Zhou is the king of a country. I don't understand. There are few infatuated men in the world, and I was deeply moved by King Zhou You's love. I thought: If they were among the people, they would definitely live a happy life, and they would definitely not be insulted by the world. Compared with the wise kings in history, King You of Zhou was an out-and-out faint king, but he was willing to become a faint king because he loved Bao Si. This love mixed with the blood of countless people, criticized by countless people, and incomprehensible to countless people still moved me, not for anything else but this love. May they be reborn as ordinary people in the next life, knowing, loving, and staying with each other, and living happily. May King Zhou You no longer be the king of a country in the next life, but be connected to the world!
The author doesn't even know the surnames, so he dares to use historical figures to write a novel!
Bao Si is not called Bao Si. She is from Bao country and her surname is Si.
