In her parents' eyes, Xu Yuanniang was the Duke's household's daughter-in-law, the widow of a general.
In her older sister's eyes, Xu Yuanniang was a noblewoman with servants at her beck and call and heaps of gold and silver, without a troublesome husband or a courtyard full of concubines.
The truth was, Xu Yuanniang had been married off by imperial decree to the Duke's household's Sixth Master, who had died in battle.
Above her was a strict mother-in-law who kept everyone in line.
In the middle was her eldest sister-in-law, whose powerful family looked down on Xu Yuanniang for her humble background.
Her second sister-in-law was consumed by ambition.
Her fifth sister-in-law was a smiling tiger who was always plotting against her.
Below her was a spoiled, headstrong younger sister-in-law.
And there was a nephew who had been indulged until he thought he could get away with anything.
She had entered the household as a widow, a nobody with no one to support her. Surrounded by open and covert rivalries in the Duke's household, she gradually found her own way to survive.
She spent her widowhood in peaceful contentment, until her grandmother took her back to their hometown for a short stay. One accident later, a mountain hunter had taken her innocence.
She guarded the secret and retreated step by step, but the rugged hunter, having gotten a taste for her, pursued her relentlessly, following her from their hometown all the way to the Duke's household in the capital.
Every night, he would slip past the servants and guards, climb over the wall into her courtyard, and clamber onto her bed. He would hold her down with no room for resistance and only then fall into a deep sleep.
The day the truth came out, Xu Yuanniang was trapped on her bed by several of her sisters-in-law. They shouted that she must be punished under the family rules, determined to beat the adulterous couple to death.
The hunter's rough thumb brushed her pale cheek before moving down to the slight curve of her belly.
"Don't be afraid."
The hunter flung open his robe and swept aside the bed curtains. The entire group of would-be adulterer-catchers froze in shock, for the laughing, utterly unrestrained madman was none other than Xiao Chenggui, the Sixth Master of the Duke's household, who had supposedly been dead for three years.
At first, I read it just because the introduction was too exciting. I like this kind of subtle character design. The writing is also good. The plot development perfectly matches everything I like. Whether it is the two people's acquaintance, the way they get along, or the recognition and subsequent admission of mistakes and jealousy. I like all parts. This is my The fact that the male protagonist looks fierce but actually needs to be beat up and honest is also very good. Although the second-room family made me itch, but the subsequent death was quite refreshing. I was quite satisfied. The male protagonist only appeared in chapter 54, which is actually quite late for me because I prefer to watch the relationship between the two. But when it didn't appear earlier, I didn't feel that the plot was dragging and I didn't want to watch it. I think this is a rare thing for me, which shows that the author's writing is really good. Even if there is nothing I like to read, it still makes me want to continue reading. By the way, are there any novels or POs with similar settings? I like them so much. The more exciting they are, the more I like them. Please recommend 🥰
In fact, this setting is quite interesting. When I clicked in, I didn't see the updated status 😢. I opened the directory at 1 click and I was confused 😢 I'm looking forward to the appearance of the male protagonist. I really like the sense of immorality in ancient times 😢 Author, you must write 100 chapters a day!!!
The only problem with this book is that it is too short. It's really good. Although the male protagonist appeared a little late and made a huge own goal, I have to say that the relationship between the male and female protagonists is really good. It feels like a destined fate. The two people died together and left each other. No one could say that this ending was beautiful. It's really awesome!! The author is a master at writing about emotions! Especially the part where the heroine thought she didn't keep it was really written very delicately, not only the heroine's myriad thoughts, but also the hero's roughness and emotional changes were vividly written. The author's extra chapters are really missing a lot of people. What's a pity is that there are not a few extras for the maids, as well as extras for Master Qi and Brother Ning. When the last two people died, it was only said that the maid discovered it, and there was no mention of what happened to Fuyuzhijile and the two of them. After Chuntao got married, Fuyuejile should also have a good ending. As for the Seventh Master, the author really didn't write too much about it. Apart from the appearance at the wake, there were not as many appearances as the group of evil villains who acted as monsters. In the end, there was only a mention of inheriting the title, and he didn't even mention whether he had married or not. As for Ning Geer, there was no news after the hero returned. Except for the Sixth Brother painted by Ning Geer, he was never mentioned again. The author said that this is his first full-length novel, and I think it has been completed very well. The story is very smooth and the characters are also very good. I like the heroine's character very much! It was also very satisfying to torture the scum in the end, very satisfying. It's really beautiful!
Such a rare subject matter and such a beautiful article! The male protagonist appeared relatively late, but the emotional line after his appearance is very interesting. It can be sweet and sad, it is a small sadistic and pleasant sadomasochism. The male protagonist also loves the female protagonist more and his wife is strict about it, so why not do it. Some plots are really fun. The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable was the early stage of abusing the female protagonist. The female protagonist was so miserable. She had no power and no one to rely on and suffered a lot. Although the male protagonist later took revenge and returned, the female protagonist suffered. The inner struggle of the heroine later is also true. From some aspects, it is really cruel to the body and mind. The heroine should show off more, and the hero should be completely obedient to the heroine. There are so few extras. In fact, I'm quite interested in the minor characters and their parents. It's a pity.
It's pretty good to watch, a bit short, but not procrastinating, and interesting. The heroine has a gentle personality, but she's not a soft persimmon. She also has a clear mind and won't be bullied by others. She was only bullied by her husband, but she also got it back! The male protagonist is also good, he can reflect on himself, and he strikes quickly and accurately, without being sloppy or giving people a chance to counterattack. It's great to give them a lifelong attachment after that! The other one has forgotten who he is! The author is very good and gave him a complete follow-up. Although she still had regrets in her previous life, it also ensured her happiness in her life and gave them a chance to renew their relationship in the next life. Thank you very much!!
Not bad, the angle is relatively novel, but the time the male and female protagonists finally get together is short, and I don't quite understand the part where the male protagonist has sex first and then falls in love, and he never reveals his identity when he sees his wife feeling guilty and painful. The ending is happy in the end, and the cycle of life is finally complete.
Good! Good! A sweet and vulgar piece of writing. I say it's vulgar because the setting is a bit like ancient Chinese literature, and I say it's really delicious! The right meaty flavor and the cheesy and sweet recipe will make your mouth water. It's a plate of salty and crispy snacks that are delicious and not greasy! It's just an ordinary snack, but the sweet and crispy flavor mixed with the salty ancient flavor is really addictive! (Let me explain that vulgarity is not a derogatory term [sending my heart])
The writing is really good. As a short story, there are very few supporting characters. It can vividly portray the character through limited plots and scenes. The words and deeds are appropriate, and there are no big logical flaws in the whole. While reading the article, I complained a lot about the heroine, but the character's identity and psychological contradictions are tenable. It's just that the short story doesn't have such a lengthy and lengthy foreshadowing, but it has everything it should have. Compared with the first half, the ending seems a little sloppy.
I haven't finished reading it yet, but the writing is extraordinary, the plot is fascinating, the characters are vivid, and the psychological description is rich. It is a masterpiece or even a masterpiece. I feel that the content behind it will not be bad, I am very confident. Why is the rating so low? The author's writing skills are at least 9.6 👍
It's not bad. I've read too many novels about time travel and space. Suddenly I read a normal and abnormal novel. It's still good. The article is very smooth and not verbose. It's good to read it in one go. Especially the extra chapters about two reincarnations and reconnecting with each other are still very warm. Overall, it's good.
