Childhood friends, innocent and inseparable. For the sake of those eight words, this woman, who feared no man, willingly became his queen, concealing her brilliance and carefully considering his every step, all so she could be the lovely woman at his side. When palace upheaval and the struggle for power finally drowned out their pledge to stand together, she painfully abandoned that vow and stood proud and alone, caught up in a web of grievances and enmity, scheming for her family and fighting for power of her own. Masters and servants, even family, turn against one another; childhood friends fall out. Amid layer upon layer of intrigue, who commands this feast of slaughter? Clashing swords and charging steeds, crimson blood staining the yellow sands: beyond each checkpoint, who will ultimately smile as they behold a prosperous age? After enduring storms and turmoil and counting each scar, who will finally overturn this chaotic world, and who will win whose undying affection?
Very well written! Especially the details and psychological description are handled very well! There are just a lot of different words. But what I read was really sad. It was the first novel that made me cry (even though the ending was okay) 😭 Fu Xi's intelligence and pain, Shao Fan and Shao Yang's changing identities, Shao Nan's fierceness and affection... After all, it is a choice between the country and the beauty, but unfortunately, no amount of affection can be worth the words: "Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang will be a stranger from now on."
I have read too many novels, and there are not many things in this novel that I find exciting. But when King Mo died, I felt very sad. I shed tears in those chapters.
It's so tortured to death, people around the heroine die one after another｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡, this book has great staying power, and there are many words, so you should read it slowly
