It seems that they are focused on creating a peaceful and prosperous age for ancient women. Every female character is very charming, the spoiled but not brainless princess, the kind but generous and straightforward medical girl, and the resourceful and affectionate daughter-in-law who is down and out.
I have read the first two books, and this is the third one I am following. The books written by the author are all beautiful, and the writing is delicate. It is relaxed where it should be, and it is hilarious. Each person has a distinct personality and is well written.
The author's writing style is smooth and the content is lively and interesting. Every character in the book is portrayed with a very personal personality. From time to time, he also inserts popular jokes in the current society. This is already the third book that I have read. I look forward to it.
The logic is very clear and the character creation is comprehensive. I really like Sylvia Ye, maybe it's Miss Ye Si's filter, but she is really smart, but if she were the villain, the heroine would be hard to save.
A very nice book 👍 👍 👍 If you have time, book lovers can read it 😄
Nice! The main career line is not like other novels that are all about romance. The heroine of this novel does not have any golden fingers. She has come through it step by step and worked hard bit by bit. It is very good.
How can I put it this way? This book is indeed very good in terms of literary talent and Machiavellian writing, but I prefer to read stories about female protagonists. When I read the introduction, they basically describe the female protagonist. The male protagonist was mentioned briefly, so I thought it was about a female protagonist. But after reading nearly 100 chapters, the update is about a group portrait, and in the group portrait, the heroine is It's really the worst. He has no power, no one loves him, no one loves him, he only has a smart mind. He helps the prince and the little grandson, saves the grandson and blocks the sword, and makes suggestions for the prince. Just like a counselor, if he does these, he will be promoted from the sixth grade to the fifth grade, and some rewards will be added. Among the other girls who have a good relationship with the heroine, one is the princess, rich, beautiful and powerful, and has the love of the queen mother and grandmother's relatives. She has a chic and cute personality. She is good at making money, her family is an imperial businessman, she is the second richest family in the country, her parents love her, and she is an only daughter. There is a medical girl who entered the palace with the heroine. At first, the two of them were miserable, keeping each other warm and helping each other to take revenge. I read more than ninety chapters. This medical girl's identity is not simple, her medical skills are very good, and she is also the disciple of a very famous miracle doctor in Yaowang Valley (it seems to be Yaowang Valley). Her master gave her a jade pendant, which can earn up to 500,000 taels of silver. It can also ask famous killer organizations to help her and mobilize troops. This identity is really powerful. Then the prince has a heart disease, and no one in the country can cure it. Only the master of this medical girl seems to have cured others (it is mentioned in the other half of the author's book). Then the person I feel is the most powerful in the article is Ye Siqing, the richest man in the country, who seems to be the daughter of the emperor. He is smart and powerful. In order to save the prince, he begs the medical girl to save the prince. However, the medical girl cannot save the prince, and asks the medical girl to leave a letter to find her master. I feel that the women in this article are more like the heroine than the heroine, and the longer the story goes, the less the heroine is. The heroine's identity and status are not at all like the standard heroine. Apart from being smart and occasionally humorous, it is really difficult to be the heroine. It is like a group portrait article. This also makes the heroine too miserable. The other girls are either powerful, rich, loving, or have a very powerful skill. What I like to read the most is when the female lead analyzes things with her brain, but the description is relatively small. I feel like giving up after seeing this, but it's so uncomfortable. The author's literary talent is also very good. At first glance, it's not that kind of white text, but it's just not my cup of tea. I'll give the author four stars. After all, the writing is really good.
Nice! There is almost no emotional line in the story about women engaging in careers. The heroine is a representative of the brain trust. She has a clear mind, thorough handling, and straightforward methods. There are many smart people in the story, and no one is really a fool. It is a group portrait.
After two months of hoarding, I finished reading it in one day🥺I couldn't get enough🥺I really like everything about the background of Dayu. After reading the three books, you will feel very familiar. The author works hard to update more💕
It's been a long time since I read a Machiavellian novel. Before, it was all about romance. It's rare to come across a book that focuses on career and is interesting to watch. The heroine is not an all-around heroine and is not interested in romance. She focuses on her career and the male protagonist has very few roles.
