[Historical Romance + Childhood Sweethearts + Mild Angst + Palace and Household Intrigue] Jiang Ruyue always thought she would marry Mo Yichen in this life. Even after she became the daughter of a disgraced official, their engagement remained.
When she came of age, she looked forward to marrying Mo Yichen. Little did she know that more than a decade of childhood friendship couldn’t compete with a sudden “ideal love.” Ever since Mo Yichen met Ning Yuxuan, the legitimate daughter of the Left Chancellor’s family, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he could no longer see Jiang Ruyue.
What she didn’t know was that the Left Chancellor’s daughter was a poisonous snake beneath her pure exterior, pushing Jiang Ruyue into the abyss time and again.
To honor his promise of “one heart, one lifetime,” Mo Yichen resolutely broke off their engagement, grinding her heartfelt devotion into the dirt.
She nearly bled herself dry to cure his poison, only for another woman to reap the reward.
When she and the Left Chancellor’s daughter were taken hostage by bandits, Mo Yichen decisively chose the woman he loved and abandoned her. Jiang Ruyue’s heart turned to ash.
Disaster struck the Weiyuan General’s household. Its loyal family was reduced to a single surviving bloodline. After their estate was confiscated, their servants scattered and their colleagues kept their distance. Jiang Ruyue resolutely held up the Mo family as it teetered through the storm.
When Mo Yichen achieved fame and success, she thought the worst was over. Little did she know she would be hurt even more.
She left the Weiyuan General’s household in utter disarray. Fortunately, she found a new opportunity and rose above every obstacle, though her heart remained lonely.
She thought she would spend the rest of her life tending to her wounds alone. She never imagined that the man who had always protected her in silence would frantically search for her everywhere, lighting her dead heart like a beam of sunlight…
He respects her, loves her, and clears every obstacle for her. “Ruyue, how lucky I am to have you in this life!”
A royal secret from many years ago is finally brought to light, and the truth of her birth is revealed…
The story is captivating, unfolding gently and gradually. The female lead is incredibly strong; abandoned by the young general she was betrothed to since childhood, she doesn't wallow in despair. She's unlucky enough to meet someone who truly loves her, but their relationship is broken up by the jealousy of the female supporting character. However, this gives the male lead a chance 🤭.
I cried my eyes out for Zhao Rumei 😢😢😢, Qin Taiyi's love is the most touching. 💕 The author is so cruel, torturing the male and female leads like this. I can't stand rape and abortion the most; seeing those scenes was like being struck by lightning [petrified]. Deducting one star.
This book is excellent. Read it carefully; the plot is ingenious and particularly captivating. The female protagonist is very strong; she steps forward to earn money when facing difficulties, remaining neither humble nor arrogant. I hope she can be with the male protagonist soon. The storyline is captivating and incredibly entertaining.
The female lead is amazing, independent, strong, and not love-struck. Looking forward to the sequel.
It's really good! My eyes hurt from reading it, but I'll keep going.
Overall it was alright, but Jiang Ruyue, such a smart person, was made a bit naive and innocent by Ning Yuxuan, so I gave up watching. I skipped ahead to the ending.
The male protagonist is described far too little; irrelevant characters are given too much space.
The novel is great! The female protagonist is beautiful and kind-hearted. Although her love life is full of ups and downs, it's still very engaging. I love it!
