Personally, I feel that the pace of this book is more cheerful and it is a very high-quality book. The heroine is like a little sun that suddenly breaks into the male protagonist's world. It seems that every character and every setting is just right. She is the sunny Jiang Lingzhu🌝 who loves money as much as her life, the dark and sinister Prince Jing😈, the arrogant sister😌, the tiger girl Liu Zhenzhen😝, and the unconventional Concubine Qin 🥳, the most touching thing is that Zhuzi joins forces with everyone, no matter it is the nameless supporting role or the central protagonist, everyone is excited to eliminate evil and promote good🎉🎉🎉. I end with my favorite sentence: Things in the world are like this, on the other side of the mountain is the sea, and at the end of the night is the light. So, Xie Huaijin, your sun is rising🌞 The first book review is dedicated to "Pan Widow"😆
The kind-hearted stepmother and step-sister, the circle of friends who are full of fighting power, the weak villain and the male protagonist with super invincible brain-feeding ability allow the heroine to cheat all the way to the peak of happiness. I really admire the male protagonist's ability to make up his mind, otherwise the female protagonist would have died a hundred times with her ability to commit suicide.
Niu Niu Niu, the unabridged version is more interesting! Hahahahahahahahahaha
Help, those who read the paragraph review read the uncut version. It turns out that this is a meaty article. The male protagonist will make all kinds of assumptions about what the female protagonist does because she loves him. She looks a bit arrogant on the outside, but the female protagonist will coax her after she secretly feels aggrieved. The plot is quite short. The male protagonist kills the emperor and then it's gone. It feels like the author wrote this just for the sake of stew in the first place.
How could this be so good? The interactions between the characters in the book are so warm and touching, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists is also very sweet. Alas, I wanted to laugh when the male protagonist conquered the plot in the first part, but then I cried again (I was convinced hahahahaha). Five-star praise!
I'm so angry!! Nice! Interesting 🤭 Perfectly explains what it means to be a book without coincidence 😂 Hahaha! What a novel theme! Highly recommended 🤭 🤭 🤭 There is actually a confessional scene at the end 🤭 This is really unexpected 🤭 I laughed to death [crying with laughter]
I found that every time I had no expectations for this novel, he always gave me an unexpected surprise. This novel is the best one I have come across in the past month. I really like reading ancient novels, but it's been a long time since I met one that suits me so well. The male protagonist's self-defeating character is really lovable and the female protagonist is also looking for her own benefit. I read the comments and some people said that the female protagonist is too pretentious. I don't think she is too pretentious, but she is quite brave. He is never coy about anything and is very generous, and what I like the most is that the plot develops very quickly. Some ancient sayings are always described at one point, and there is no cliché plot of vicious female supporting characters. Everyone is brave, confident, bright and public. This makes me like it very much. Each character has their own shining point and does not just serve the protagonist. Moreover, the emotional drama between the two secret guards is also very well described. Some authors are novices, but they are very charming and can describe the characters in their works very vividly. This is something that some old authors cannot match. Some authors are like those old actors. They no longer believe in love, so they cannot describe the passionate emotions of an 18-year-old. Therefore, some people in the comment area say that the female protagonist is too pretentious or that the male protagonist is too narcissistic. Who has not been young and imagined that he is the protagonist of the world in his passionate youth?
It was better than I expected. The plot is not the cliché that the parents don't like. The father may not like it, but the stepmother is a good person and the younger sister is also a tsundere and cute. There are some plots in the middle that are a bit annoying, but they will be explained clearly later. The male protagonist is particularly good at brainstorming. The self-guide is very sweet.
It's good-looking and sweet, there's no vicious female partner, no female rivalry, the male protagonist is very clever, but he made it clear in the end, the author's writing is very good, the female protagonist is very smart and astute😊 I feel that the male protagonist is the kind of cold-faced man who washes his underwear with a cold face [Send my heart][Send my heart][Send my heart]
I read the published version and then the unabridged version, which is a po-text set in the context of power and conspiracy, poking for poo's sake, but some of the plots are vague and not very rigorous. The female protagonist is not the mature, sensible and steady type, but rather cute and clever. The male protagonist's self-strategizing is unbearable. Fortunately, there is no bloody sisterly rivalry or male-male competition drama, and it is friendly to all members. In addition, the language in the uncut version is too vulgar, and there is always a feeling that women are being toyed with. The reading experience is that I haven't read other books that have unabridged versions that make me feel comfortable.
