[Patient, Scheming, Devoted Emperor] VS [Delicate Yet Resilient, Theatrical Consort]
Deep palace walls have locked away countless sincere hearts.
After the entire Fang family is wiped out, Fang Li, whose face matches that of the late empress, is sent into the inner palace by Su Rongyu.
As the supreme ruler, Jiang Youlin commands the realm, yet remains trapped in the past.
He tests her again and again, convinced that her heart has never truly belonged to him and that she is only pretending.
She avoids him again and again, certain she is merely a substitute, a shadow of someone else.
Once, they pushed each other farther and farther away with their own hands.
Given another life, Jiang Youlin is determined to keep Fang Li by his side and never let her go again.
I just want to ask if this is actually a "substitute" novel? 😢😢😢 Like, the kind where the male lead initially treats the female lead as a substitute, but later truly falls in love and experiences a "wife-chasing" trope? I've read a few chapters and really like the author's writing style, but it feels like a substitute novel, and I can't accept that premise.
This novel portrays the feelings between the male and female protagonists with exceptional delicacy, making it easy for the reader to become immersed in the story. The writing style is quite sophisticated, and it's definitely worth reading.
I love this setting so much! It has a bittersweet feeling, but you can also feel the unspoken love that's impossible to hide. Keep it up, author!
I'm a bit confused about whether the female lead is a body double or not.
Super super good-looking
Baby's writing is so good and so heart-wrenching, I cried several times. You must keep writing!
It's so good, even though it's a bit angsty 😢
