Synopsis

Since ancient times, beauties have brought many disasters. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Bao Si's smile captivated the city. Everyone knows that in order to win Bao Si's favor, King You of Zhou did not hesitate to neglect the imperial court. Everyone knows that in order to make Bao Si his queen, King You of Zhou did not hesitate to kill his wife and son. Everyone knows that in order to win Bao Si's smile, King You of Zhou did not hesitate to play tricks on the princes and ruin the century-old foundation of the Zhou Dynasty! Everyone scolded her for being a beauty and a disaster, but everyone envied her for having King You's infatuation. No one knew that she was living on the Qiongtai, but she had retreated from the white bones, with scars all over her body; no one knew that after she rose to the sun, and became a country, she betrayed her family's oath and broke her arms to survive; no one knew that her great honor and favor carried many reluctances and misfortunes. Who knew the dirty blood under her smile, and who could pity her? Everyone knows that she doesn't smile, but no one knows that she doesn't smile because she has nothing to be happy about...

Reader comments

This book interprets the story of beauty and misfortune Bao Si from a new perspective, allowing me to see her unknown side. It turned out that there was so much helplessness and bitterness hidden behind her smile, and she was also a victim of that era. The description of Haojing City in the book is very picturesque. "The green bricks and green tiles looked particularly dim under the haze." It made me feel like I was in it and felt the desolation. I like Bao Si's tenacity and the complicated emotional entanglement between her and King You of Zhou. The sound of "when..." Seems to be echoing in the ears, which makes people full of emotions. This is a book well worth reading.

There Is a Shortage of Books. I Am Looking for Some Novel Books. I Am Tired of Reading Too Many Routine Articles.

I want to see content similar to "The boss is extremely evil, and so is my system." The setting is novel, not brainless, and has no major poisonous points. You can watch it all night
