Lots of fight scenes, but don't make it mindless hero worship. No transmigration. There should be internal energy and lightness skills. The male lead is optional.

The plot setting of the author is really beautiful! The description is pretty good too! This writing style is really speechless! However, there are always too many repetitive descriptions of scenery or actions. I always feel that after watching it for a long time, the plot has not advanced much. Also, although it is a dual-powerful movie, the female protagonist does not feel very strong. She is always suppressed by the male protagonist. She always says she is unwilling but in fact is half-hearted. . His personality is a bit softer, and it feels a bit different from the introduction. But overall it's still worth a look and a taste!! ٩(๑^O^๑)۶
I like the dual-power setting very much. The heroine is both a charming courtesan and a cold-faced killer, which is full of contrast. The male protagonist has tenderness hidden under his cold face, with clear love and hate, and a particularly three-dimensional image. The logic of the plot is online, from pursuit to temptation to side by side, the transition is natural, the writing is delicate, and the details are well laid out, making it very immersive to read.
The character creation is very successful, the dual strong characters are established very firmly, the heroine's dual identities switch naturally, she has the charm of the courtesan and the determination of the killer. The affectionateness under the cold face of the hero is very touching, and the emotional changes are delicate and not abrupt. The plot is clearly organized, with no confusing subplots, and the writing is delicate and warm, making it very comfortable to read.
It's so good that even five-star reviews are not enough to express my love for this novel. The heroine has many vests, good looks, high IQ, high EQ, and high force value. She can find a breakthrough in the details to reverse the situation. There is also a strong couple. I also like the heroine's behavior of deliberately making the hero jealous. The hero will fight with the heroine whenever he becomes jealous. These really hit home for me. Thanks to the great talent for allowing me to see so many of my favorite elements in a novel. Another point worth mentioning is that I think the writing style is particularly good. When describing the surrounding environment and other things, the words and sentences are like reading famous articles in the textbook, and every word has an antique flavor. 😘
Plot summary: The book has an eye-catching beginning, with the love lines of the male and female protagonists intertwined with the revenge line of the female protagonist. There are many twists and turns. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is broken and repaired again and again due to the gap of hatred (don't worry, the repair period is also sweet, and it is very short). It is sweet and cruel. The male and female protagonists are both strong, but there are times when they are weak. They help each other secretly. The heroine's waistcoat is constantly falling off, and her biggest waistcoat is only revealed near the end. The final ending is happy and sweet. Thoughts after watching: I came from a comic series. In the early stage, the male and female protagonists are cut off first and then the relationship is revealed. The process of first getting married, then falling in love, and then rekindling their feelings for each other through constant trials is also very sweet, which made me enjoy watching it. However, the author was also very cruel at the first turning point in the relationship between the male and female protagonists. I endured the pain and watched the second turning point. The relationship between the two that was finally repaired became even more rigid. I almost gave up, okay. At the third turning point (not long after), there was no problem with the emotional line of the male and female protagonists, but there was a problem with the revenge line. The male and female protagonists played under the lights in a severe situation, and their emotions heated up again and continued to make them sweet. I finally couldn't bear to quit. About 2/3 of the book, the last node finally arrived, and the revenge line was completed. There will be a lot of content about the sweet daily life and side tasks of the male and female protagonists. This made me enjoy watching it. There were no twists and turns during the period until the final happy ending. When I saw the end, I was reminded of a sentence: "When a story is about to end, we will always think of its beginning." From the beginning of the tragic life of being a murderer, the heroine went through many hardships, put on layers of vests for herself, gained countless friendships, and then unexpectedly met the hero ( At the beginning of the book), she got the love she dared not ask for in this life. She resisted suspicion at first, then suppressed and hid her fear to face love, until finally the two of them avenged her together, and the estrangement in their hearts finally dissipated, and she got the happiness she deserved. It made me feel an indescribable feeling in my heart, which was emotion, heartache, or relief, but also regret and reluctance to let go of the end of the book. Character creation: Although they are two strong characters, no matter how strong they are, there are still sad hurdles. Both the heroine and the hero have experienced embarrassing moments and have rescued each other. Although some people say that the heroine or the hero is useless and cannot hold a banner alone, but no matter how strong the person is, there are moments of weakness in front of the people closest to him. I think this is good. It is not overly strong, but very harmonious. The other characters in the book are also very vivid, and the group portraits of the heroine's friends are also perfectly created, each with their own personality, which is very enjoyable. Writing evaluation: The author's writing style is very good, and the description of many environments is very exquisite. The content of the writing is logically clear, and the thinking is rigorous. There is no shortage of candy and no shortage of knives (I personally think the memories of the heroine's life experience are very sad). But there are also shortcomings. For example, some turning points are a bit far-fetched, and the content is somewhat logical and self-consistent, not consistent with common sense. Another example is that the author likes to use the same sentence to describe many characters, but overall it is very good.
This book is one of my favorites among all the books I have read, with rich vocabulary and ups and downs of plot! Created one vivid and three-dimensional character after another! Shen Zhao's five aliases all correspond to a story that is engraved in my heart. Every word makes me cry. I can still remember Nan Yanxiu's single-mindedness. In this book, I really feel the reality of day and night. I hope Zhaoer and Yanxiu will stay together in another world 2026.1.10
"It's really great that the heroine is not stupid and sweet! During the day, she is an courtesan who seduces the kings and grandsons, and at night, she is a Rakshasa who kills corrupt officials. The male protagonist seems cold-faced but is actually very possessive. This kind of tension of "you chase me and run away but sleep together under the covers" is beautiful!
One glance lasts for thousands of years! Holding your child's hand and growing old together is not just talk, it doesn't matter what you say, only what you do for you 👍 Sincerity, true love is rare! Worth reading👀, a very recommended book📚
The clues of family, friendship and love in the novel are rich and touching. Through delicate emotional descriptions, the author allows readers to feel the deep emotional bonds and interpersonal relationships, and evokes the warmth and cherishment of human emotions.
The author writes that the male protagonist is smart, cautious, tall, and has excellent martial arts skills. The female protagonist is cunning and has her own martial arts organization. The female protagonist is also very good at martial arts. The emotional lines between the male and female protagonists are also very smooth, and the storyline is compact. It is not the kind of mindless sweet story, but a very talented work. All I can say is read it if you are short on books, I guarantee you won't lose money.
