Antique charm + devoted couple + traditional historical romance + punishing scoundrels + sweet indulgence
Nine turns of the loom: spring, summer, autumn, and winter stretch into a single breath; three mountains and five sacred peaks shrink to a grain of dust. In a prosperous age, moonlight shimmers on a cold pool, and a snap of the fingers contains a whole world.
Qiao Lili, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's household, was tricked in her previous life when her mother's close friend stole her birth-date slip and betrothed her to the impoverished heir of a marquis. Her father and brothers took him to the battlefield to earn military honors, even crediting him with their own achievements, all so he could marry Qiao Lili in splendor.
For four years at the frontier, Qiao Lili wore plain clothes, ate simple meals, and prayed for his safe return. She cared for his widowed mother and younger sister, and the pampered daughter of a noble house who had never lifted a finger sewed his boots day after day, just because he had told her, “Once I wear boots sewn by Lili, I’ll never be able to wear any others.”
The day the fallen heir returned to the capital in triumph, she waited for him on the city gate tower from early morning. But he rode in with a beautiful woman sharing his horse...
After their wedding, he deceived her for two years and never shared her bed. When the Duke of Dingguo's household was framed and its members arrested, he imprisoned her in a dungeon and beat her day after day. In the end, her hands and feet were severed, her eyes gouged out, and her tongue cut off before she died. Only after her death did Qiao Lili learn that all of it had been a conspiracy...
Her childhood friend, Yu Jingyan, used his own power to make everything begin again, returning to the day he came back to the capital in triumph...
Yu Jingyan: “I’ll trade all the merits of the true dragon within me to turn the world upside down and rewind time.”
Master Wuwei: “Then you’ll fall like a star, leaving only this brief moment of brilliance.”
Yu Jingyan: “I have no regrets.”
Master Wuwei: “Fate brings people together, and karma comes full circle. Even if you get another chance at life, things may not go as you wish.”
Yu Jingyan: “I’m not afraid. Then we’ll try again.”
It's good-looking and fits my imagination of this type of book 👍
Every hole is filled in perfectly, and it's not the kind of mindless story where people take revenge and kill people without doing anything. The heroine's revenge is well-founded, and she also has her own life and is not obsessed with revenge. It's very well written.
The writing is delicate, the emotional lines of the male and female protagonists are clear, the plot is not procrastinating, and it is worth savoring. [Learned]👍
The author is educated and attentive, but there is no rating. Those messy articles are all scored. Cheers to the author.
This book is very good, but the tomato score is a bit low. It's a novel that I like. Unfortunately, maybe because of the low rating, there are no dialogues between multiple characters in the book. When you look for a book to read, you can't look at the score. This is much better than one with a score of over 90.
It is short and concise, and the emperor is a lovely and good emperor. However, the fate of those people who were tortured and died tragically in their previous lives is not bad enough. The ending is a bit rushed, and it is not easy to find the mother of the heroine in the last two chapters.
It's very well written, but not many people read it.
It's a very nice article, the story line is clear, and the author has a strong ability to control the text. I'm surprised why there is no rating?
The language is very beautiful, the poems have artistic conception, and the author has a profound literary background. It is very beautiful! Recommended!
Follow it all the way to the ending. It is an antique, poetic and super sweet article. It is worth reading!
