A Classic Historical Romance Recommendation for a Well-Read Woman
I found a book that doesn’t follow the usual formula. It’s full of knowledge, has a clear historical timeline, and offers deep insight into human nature. Definitely worth taking the time to read.

Proper Harem Palace Intrigue
I want books like The Story of Ruyi: Noble Consort Wei. I’d like to read fanfiction based on The Story of Ruyi, but nothing too simplistic. Tomato’s writing quality is such a mystery.

Translated by Google Translate






























The 160th book Tomato has read, this one is really full of surprises. The female protagonist was used as a pawn to pave the way for the second female protagonist. The male protagonist was too cruel, and the female protagonist's father was disgusting (in the end, the fate of the female protagonist's father was not mentioned). The heroine has had a very hard life because of the hero and her father! The male protagonist calculated everything, and finally said that he would not investigate anymore, and he probably didn't want to know the truth. As long as he didn't want the truth, the female protagonist could stay with him until the end, and she really stayed with him until the end! The second male lead is really upset! Even in the darkness, he still illuminates the way forward for the heroine, teaches her to risk death and survive, teaches her that no one can save her except herself, and teaches her how to change from a chess piece to a chess player turning her hands. If there were no flesh and blood left by the second male lead, the heroine would have followed him long ago. I hope that the heroine will never meet that little boy from Taolin again in her next life, and that the second male lead will always hold a lantern and wait for the heroine at Naihe Bridge to become a ghost couple.
From what I saw in the comment section of other videos, it was originally intended for the plot of the heroine marrying the hero while pregnant with the second boy's child, but it was still very sad when the second hero actually went offline. It feels like there is a sad undertone from beginning to end. In fact, the male protagonist is also well portrayed, with ambition and means. But the second male lead off the assembly line made me feel so sad. At the end, even though I became the Queen Mother and had children and Shao'er, I still wasn't very happy when I thought that so many people were offline. And I feel like this class is quite unpopular. There are no posts in other communities.
This is a story that everyone wants, a rare story in which the heroine does not love the hero but loves the second hero. I read it five or six years ago and it's still deeply impressive, which shows how wonderful the story is. The author's writing is very good, but it's a pity that JJ can't retain people.
When I didn't read it before, I saw a comment saying that the heroine was pregnant with the second boy's child and married the hero. But after reading the whole article, I felt that Zhao Zhong was the hero. He was so warm and bright, and gave the heroine the happiest time. After reading this novel, I felt a little melancholy in my heart. I always felt that the ending was not that satisfying.
This story has so much staying power. Everyone has their own opinions.
After reading this, I was really disappointed. I can only say that fate plays tricks on people, and everyone is pushed into the abyss by the twists and turns of fate. Fortunately, Gu Yao ascended the throne in the end, and his identity as Zhao Zong, the orphan of the previous emperor, was not thrown into pieces.
The plot of this book is engaging and the characters are vivid. The description of the heroine Yuan Rong secretly looking at Zhao Zhong was so vivid that I seemed to be able to feel her nervousness. The part where Zhao Zhong recalled the former queen also moved me very much. His feelings for Zihe were so deep. "Her eyes blinked and stared at me, so bright, I will never forget them in my life." This sentence is so affectionate! I am looking forward to the future development of Yuan Rong and Zhao Zhong, and hope they can have a good ending.
After reading it, I couldn't calm down for a long time... There are very affectionate and warm scenes, and there are also very sad and tear-jerking plots... It's a good article worth reading.
After reading chapters 40 and 50, I realized that Gu Ziqi is the male protagonist, Zhao Zhong is the second male protagonist, and the female protagonist is really miserable. She was plotted by her father in the past, and later by the person she once liked. Although the second male protagonist also plotted against her, he also taught her a lot. Otherwise, she would never survive until the end. The female protagonist had to fight for everything by herself, which is really not easy.
The complexity of human nature throughout life is reflected in this book. How do you choose when you encounter something? What are the consequences of the choice? Every character is so vivid, and every character has his own obsession. A book constitutes a small world of thousands of things.
