Synopsis

Neither the hero nor the heroine is a good person. Marriage first, love later; she tempts him; both are chaste; size difference; the hero is a hopeless romantic; romantic tension early on; a powerful heroine and political intrigue in the middle and later parts. More serious than a mindless feel-good story. Purely fictional ancient setting. Please don’t overanalyze.

Liu Chuying is the ninth princess of Beixiang. While the other princesses study the Four Books and Five Classics, her mother teaches her only how to win a man’s favor.

At the time, Beixiang has no choice but to send princesses to marry the fierce Li people beyond the frontier in order to win them over. Before long, news always arrives that the princess has died of illness.

The ninth princess has come of age. Hailed by the talented young men of the capital as Beixiang’s greatest beauty, she cannot escape a political marriage. Everyone assumes that this breathtakingly beautiful princess will meet the same tragic end as the others.

But a year later, news arrives from beyond the frontier: for the sake of the ninth princess, the new king of the Li people is willing to offend even the most powerful tribe under his command...

To stay alive, and for the sake of her mother and younger brother thousands of miles away, Liu Chuying has no choice but to take advantage of the new king’s affection for her.

When her schemes are exposed, she thinks he will reject her and that she will have to wait for her brother to come take her home. But the fearsome king seems to have become a different person.

She is cold and heartless, and everything she does is for herself. Zongge knows it perfectly well, yet still buries his face in the crook of her neck, as obedient as a wolfdog.

“My Hürge, don’t leave me.”

Don’t be scared off by the brute at the beginning! The male lead appears at the end of Chapter Two! He goes from a violent, ferocious wolf to a puppy who has eyes only for the heroine!

Hürge means “little lamb,” the male lead’s one-of-a-kind nickname for the heroine!

The premise is very novel, completely different from typical ancient romance novels or palace intrigue/domestic dramas. I absolutely love the size difference; the female lead is truly tiny next to the male lead! The female lead is like a little lamb, Hu Rige, his moon goddess. To be worthy of the king's woman, stunning beauty is secondary; intelligence and talent are paramount.

Very good! I really enjoyed the sexual tension between the male and female leads. The female lead is exceptionally intelligent and clear-headed. The male lead is rather complex, being a king after all, decisive and ruthless, initially falling for the female lead but unable to let go of his pride. Looking forward to how the story unfolds! And the author's writing style has always been excellent; the previous book was also very good. Keep up the good work, Yaoyao! [Learned something]

It's so good! The female lead is incredibly smart and rational, she has the male lead completely under her thumb. The male lead is also adorable, like a blue-eyed wolfhound, I love him to death! 🥰🥰🥰

So far, up to chapter 102, it's very good. I rarely read books with high ratings, but as the author mentioned in the introduction, it's a new book, hence the low score. I haven't seen any major flaws yet. At first, I thought the female lead was a delicate, fragile girl who needed protection and was incompetent at everything, but after reading it, I was pleasantly surprised.

It's good. The male lead has a mouth, and the female lead, after realizing her feelings, decisively tells him. It's really good, and there are quite a few steamy scenes, hehe. Author, please update soon! 😘😘😘 I finished watching this. The male lead is a burly man, probably from an ethnic minority, with an incredibly muscular physique.

It's great! Not a melodramatic story! I absolutely love the physique difference; at first I thought the male lead was too rough, but the more I read, the more he resembled an adorable big bear. I hope the romance develops quickly!

The author's writing is excellent, and the characters are well-developed. The male lead is too humble, but he doesn't quite qualify as a strong female lead. The female lead's early life was taught music, chess, calligraphy, and painting by her mother, as well as how to win over men.

I think people are emotional beings. Liking and love don't appear all at once. Maybe at first glance, you feel that someone is special and want to get to know them better. Of course, you need to spend time together to cultivate feelings. The characters you write are all very well-developed, and feelings don't appear out of nowhere. We always have misunderstandings.

It was such a great watch! From the initial power struggle to their eventual love and understanding, the female lead was intelligent, wise, and ambitious, while the male lead was brave, invincible, and exceptionally clever. More importantly, the transition of their relationship and their eventual deep trust in each other were perfect.
