Synopsis

The main story is complete. Extra chapters will be posted on a schedule. Read with confidence.

The story of The Chancellor’s Rise is about a boy from a mountain village who eventually becomes Grand Secretary. A motivational story naturally needs its sacrificial characters, and Gu Qinghe, or more accurately, her entire family, are all doomed supporting characters.

As the growth-oriented protagonist, he has to face plenty of setbacks. His parents can’t survive, and anyone close to him has to die for his experience points. Gu Qinghe’s family is the protagonist’s first major obstacle. In the book, for certain reasons, the original Gu Qinghe indirectly caused the protagonist’s parents’ deaths. Her father, in his role as village head, even demanded that the protagonist become engaged to her. Later, when the protagonist left to sit the imperial exams and went missing, the original Gu Qinghe assumed he would never return and sold his eleven-year-old sister to a brothel.

Of course, after the protagonist came back, Gu Qinghe’s family paid the price.

Halfway through reading the book, Gu Qinghe opened her eyes to find she had replaced the original character and become “Gu Qinghe.” Luckily, she had arrived early in the story. Not only was the protagonist’s sister safe, but his father was still alive too. So now Gu Qinghe only had one thing to do: make sure the protagonist’s parents survived.

It was a foolproof plan. As long as the protagonist’s parents were alive, he wouldn’t have to compromise by getting engaged to her, and she wouldn’t have to look after his sister while he went to the capital for the exams. That way, both families could avoid their tragic fate.

Of course, it would be even better if she could get along with the protagonist. After all, he would become a powerful chancellor and could protect her. But if they didn’t get along, that was fine too. She only wanted to farm.

Are There Any Ancient Romance Novels Like This!!!

I'm looking for historical romance where the heroine dances so beautifully she captivates everyone, and the hero has secretly loved her for years. They knew each other before (ideally, though it's fine if they've only met once or haven't met at all). Both leads need to speak their minds. No weak, timid heroine. I want her to be an ordinary person with a rich emotional life 🥹

Author, the official pairing must be Gu Zui, because Gu Zui only has Qing He, while the so-called male lead is handsome, has a good family, and will become a high-ranking official, while Qing He is just a peasant girl.

I've always felt that Gu Zui wasn't oblivious; it's just that his childhood experiences made him insecure and afraid to express his feelings.

Is the male lead Shen or Gu? Or is it a 1v2 situation? [Got it]

I hope the male lead is Gu Zui, or another guy. It feels like he's being too forward and touching the girl. He's supposed to be a scholar, shouldn't he be more mindful of manners? And his crush seems so inexplicable. On the other hand, Gu Zui is really polite and doesn't make any advances towards the girl. He's very respectful. I sincerely hope the male lead ends up with him. I just read the book's synopsis and it says the man who touched me inappropriately is the male lead, so I'm dropping it.

Author, you've suffered so much, but you can't let me suffer too! Please update more often 😫 (Xiao Shen must be the male lead! [KISS][KISS][KISS])

Why can't the three of them be together? Harmonious and beautiful, they can all go home together. 🍉

The female lead is mostly a laid-back, laid-back character in the early episodes, only gradually getting into the farming/development aspect later on, though it's not overly focused on farming 😂. The author has a unique writing style; when describing characters' laughter, it's always a "low-pitched laugh."

My Gu Zui! Gu Zui is the male lead in my heart. I just want him to be with the female lead. Shen was already so greasy when he was eight or nine years old. The female lead clearly liked Gu Zui more when they were little. It's so heartbreaking 😢😢😢😢😢

Overall, it's pretty good. The plot unfolds from a different angle than other transmigration novels, which is quite novel. It's just a pity that the female lead didn't end up with Gu Zui.

So far, it's been pretty good. The emotional descriptions are very delicate and captivating; it's starting to feel a bit like a stock market romance novel, hehehe! I wonder who she'll end up with? I can't wait! 🤭 (Rating, rating, rating, go up, go up!)
