After her parents died, Nie Mingxi was left a noblewoman in name only, with no power, no influence, and no one in her manor. Naively, she thought that if she kept clinging to the man she loved as he rose through the ranks, he would rescue her from her desperate circumstances. Instead, Chu Yixiao called her “so willful,” and she was locked away in the palace prison.
Two years of loneliness and misery finally shattered her fantasies about Chu Yixiao. After she was released, she wanted only to preserve what little remained of her family’s estate and live out her days in peace. She even considered marrying someone else, moved by his sincere and innocent affection.
But why did Chu Yixiao start pursuing her once she had a chance to begin life anew? Why force her to marry him as a concubine and drag her into the inner household, where she would be forced to fight with others every day?
She had chosen to yield in everything because she had no one to protect her, thinking it would let her spend the rest of her life in peace. But after others harmed her and her child was taken from her, Nie Mingxi unexpectedly learned of her parents’ ties to the imperial family and discovered her own identity. Little by little, she began to change.
If yielding only invited more aggression, then she would be a clay pot smashing against porcelain. She would take her revenge first.
Nie Mingxi would no longer be the Prince of Dingnan’s concubine. She would find her family, then make Chu Yixiao marry into hers and become her consort.
These tyrants look so powerful that they can't even treat their loved ones with each other
Wonderful, good-looking, like it
It's well written, the content is good, and it's not wordy.
Concise, not wordy, lively and interesting
The plot is interesting, the language is not sluggish, and it's beautiful!
I have read a lot of books, and since there is a recent book shortage, I have read them all. Overall good. I think the front looks better than the back.
