Four stars for the first 100+ chapters. After Chapter 140, it was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone who came to read the imperial examination papers was dissuaded. I don't have many interesting things about the book, and any minor flaw is considered a flaw, but I never would have imagined that, well, a male protagonist with an imperial examination, a scholar from a peasant family, the hope of the whole village, the leader of a poor family, because he found that his enemy was playing a role as a lackey around the Prince of Yong, so he He took advantage of the prince going out to hunt and directly assassinated his enemy [laughing awkwardly], and then he transformed into Shui Lingling and assassinated the prince. Oh, it seemed that he hadn't masked his face yet, and he didn't think about the consequences of failure and the way out. It accidentally turned out to be a story about the nine tribes disappearing happily, but because the male protagonist escaped unscathed.
Looks good! I like the character of the protagonist, not the Holy Mother! The key is that the hero's parents are not cowards either! ! I'm really fed up with the honest fathers in other articles who have no bottom line in forgiving their best relatives and the cowardly mothers who only know how to cry! You're not going to accept that fool as your follower, are you? ? ? (Mobile phone for the elderly in subway)
Wow wow wow, it must be five stars. This is a book that even if I stopped reading for half a month, I could still come back and continue reading. I really like the character of the male protagonist and admire him very much. He is thick-skinned, brave and resourceful, and he also values love and justice, but he is also able to take things up and put them down. Even though he has been an official for two years, his classmates who were studying together in the county still want to help him. Although there are imperfections among family members and relatives, they are not the kind of extremely evil people. I have followed more than 400 chapters, and the career line is still the main focus, and there is no emotional line. This is the most attractive point for me. Watching the male protagonist dare to quarrel with the scholars in the court, and cry to the emperor when he is bullied [laughing] [laughing] He will directly attack whoever is upset, never let him get angry overnight, and take revenge on the spot. If you mess with him, he will look through the notebook overnight and copy your whole family! Regarding the love line, I suggest that there should be no female protagonist. I prefer to watch career-oriented male protagonists. I don't like to marry a loser and come back to enjoy happiness. I also don't want to have a soft-boiled job and let the male protagonist climb high and marry a wife and come back to be the ancestor. Even if there is a female protagonist, she must not be the princess. The character of that girl is not pleasant, and many readers do not like her. And if the fifth prince ascends the throne in the future, he will use the princess to tie up the male protagonist and ask him to work for him. I've seen Chapter 469, there's a female protagonist. The heroine is Princess Ah Chong, who has an unpleasant personality. . . . . The two of them have no feelings. They are just like a dog. The emperor is about to die and ties the male protagonist to the eldest princess's royal family. If something happens in the future, he can also let the male protagonist protect the eldest princess and her family. They are interested in the male protagonist's abilities but don't treat him sincerely. It's just taking advantage of him. In order for Xiao Wu to sit on the throne smoothly, the male protagonist is tied to death in the mansion of the eldest princess, who has a better relationship with Xiao Wu. I can't get along with the male protagonist and Ah Chong at all. Ah Chong's whole family has that kind of aloof, proud and domineering character. He wants to instruct the male protagonist to serve Ah Chong even before the marriage is granted. Can you figure out the situation? The emperor granted the marriage to the male protagonist in order to save the life of the eldest princess's palace. You are the ones who have to rely on the male protagonist's protection. At the beginning of the novel, it is written that the male protagonist's parents in his previous life had a discordant marriage and often quarreled, so the male protagonist hopes that his wife in this life will be a stable one who can help manage the family affairs. A Chong's temperament. . . She is not someone who can stay at home safely. She likes to go out and treat patients everywhere. Moreover, the family is not in the right family, and it is not suitable in any way. Marry low and marry high. It is impossible to say that no one would care about the hero's family background. The number of male protagonists who win the top prize is more likely to be favored by women. Besides, which ancestor of the Earl's Palace did not come from a poor family? In two years, the male protagonist will be a third-grade and fourth-grade official, only 20 years old. Is he afraid that he will not have a wife?
A rare and enjoyable article with content and plot 5 stars before entering Beijing, 2 stars after entering Beijing
This is an interesting start. It's hard for the hero's parents to not be cowards. If you obey Tiangang, everyone else's parents are useless, but you are good at rebelling against Tiangang. You are a useless person, and you are worse than the native parents. The best relatives in a family don't know how to find a way to establish a clear relationship [vomit]
It's the first time I've watched a male video. It feels so good. It's more enjoyable than female videos. Female videos always have too many plots where they are jealous and compete for the male lead. It's so uncomfortable to watch. I hope there is no censorship. If you want a long relationship between children, the male lead should focus on his career.
This novel is super good. I can only say 30 golden pictures. If you haven't read all 30 pictures, then you are definitely at a loss. It is recommended to read it. As a protagonist, the protagonist of this article is very bright. It gave me a feeling of the ancient Buddha cutting his flesh and feeding it to the eagles. The family didn't have enough to eat, and even though his father might die if he went to serve in the army, he still contributed his own money to save other people's mothers. Moreover, the protagonist has a strong protagonist aura and can pick up money under various conditions, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of RMB. If you want to read a cool article, I recommend it. I suggest you read this book to its essence. Even if the protagonist is beaten, he will still consider the person who beat him, and even the protagonist will help others arrange work [send heart][send heart][send heart][send heart][send heart][send heart][send heart][send heart][send heart][send Heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Send heart] I really strongly recommend that you read on, at least finish 27 chapters. I believe you won't read it in vain. Remember to reply to me if you heard what I said and read Chapter 27.
Why do we, the ugly ones, have to be cool if we are not number one? [Cry][Cry][Cry]
It is time-traveling but not cliché. The author is most likely a historian or literature expert, and has a rigorous and serious personality. It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into writing this book. Not only does it respect history, but even most of the poems in the book seem to have been written by the author himself, which I admire. And the most concerning thing is the self-consistent logic that the author greatly reflects in the book. For example, why did Wang Xuezhou think of making money in the Ministry of Household Affairs by raiding homes and making cement, instead of making salt, sugar, and gunpowder like most time travellers? After reading the work, you will know that the reasons for confiscating homes and making cement are all traceable. Not only is the logic self-consistent, but it is also in line with the character and respects history. It is impossible to fault it after watching it. The transition is also very smooth. It is really beautiful! I beg the author to update it quickly! ! ! By the way, the analysis of many scientific examination topics and ancient texts in the work is really wonderful, and even the description of the scientific examination process is very interesting. Although it is probably based on historical materials, it fully demonstrates the author's great care and rigor, and his writing style is good! In addition, it is really painful to chase books. I often forget some of the people and stories in front of me, which makes reading difficult. For example, Zong Yuchan, I still haven't remembered who this young lady is and how she is related to the male protagonist. I'd better read the previous ones again...
Currently giving it five stars, but I hope Zong Yuchan is not the heroine (I don't mind the heroine, but I do mind Ah Chong being the heroine) 1. Judging from the positioning and audience of the article, readers definitely want to focus on the male protagonist's career. If a character with an eccentric personality is chosen as the female protagonist, it is inevitable that a considerable amount of text will be allocated to the emotional line. I can only say that I will run away. 2. I don't have a sense of cp, it's just that... The three views of the two people are very different. I'm not saying that one is good and the other is bad, but it's just that one is mature and the other is too naive in dealing with people. Moreover, Ah Chong's current attitude towards the male protagonist and the several plots in which the two get along give me the feeling that it is going to take the savage girlfriend route (praise). To be honest, there is only one requirement for the heroine to take this route - you must have the confidence to be "savage". I don't have the confidence to get it now. So I hope that either the author will reconsider and choose a more stable type of heroine, or that in the subsequent plots, I can use words that will not affect her career so that I can get the confidence for her to take this route.
