Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.
Powerful Ministers in Ancient Times, Taking by Force
Please Recommend Obsessive-Love Historical Romance!
Both leads should be devoted only to each other. Any genre is fine, as long as it’s fresh and original. Books like The Black Lotus Manual and Feng Deng, also known as The Right Way to Win Over a Yandere Male Supporting Character. Maybe something like a redemption story. I absolutely love this kind of thing!! The female lead should be lively and cute, and the male lead devoted.

It's superb! Many scenes are incredibly captivating. It's not the typical forceful love story, and the female lead isn't a clinging vine. She's courageous, resourceful, resolute, loyal, and has her own principles and pursuits. Her entanglement with the male lead is also full of twists and turns, not a predictable plot.
This book is truly amazing! When I first opened it, I thought it would be one of those old tropes: forceful acquisition, a resilient heroine, and a chase. But Wan Yi truly amazed me. She's intelligent and brave, especially in the part where Xiao Che is schemed against by the Empress Dowager. Wan Yi quickly arranged guards, won over people, and offered lucrative promises. She's so clever!
I haven't finished reading it all, but some of the language was truly moving, especially the powerful words used when the female lead refused her grandfather's offer to make her empress. Keep up the good work, author! I hope to see more beautiful writing from you all 😊
2025.12.15 This book is undoubtedly a top-tier work in the ancient romance genre. The male lead is initially a complete scoundrel, practically a beast, but due to his upbringing, you don't hate him as you read on; instead, you pity him. He truly grows and becomes more humane, even instinctively forcing himself to leave the female lead in the end, which is genuinely heartbreaking.
The rating is so low! This is truly a masterpiece, a truly wonderful story. The female lead is brave, resourceful, and has a grand vision. The male lead's character could easily be ruined and become unlikable if not handled carefully, but the author's writing is excellent. The male lead is just a bit awkward and arrogant.
It's a very good read. The writing is excellent, the emotions are delicate, and there's a mind-bending plot. It's very exciting. The beginning was a bit forced, but what makes this book unique is that it showcases the male lead's charisma and the female lead's excellence and intelligence.
This is amazing!!! So good!!! It'll help you rank up!!! The female lead is so smart and calm! The male lead is too, a smart, crazy, and handsome guy, but the female lead can train wolves, hahaha~~ Friends with aversion to stupidity should check this out, it won't trigger your aversion.
It's not bad, you could say it's a story about raising a cute, innocent guy! The romantic entanglement between the male and female leads is incredibly complex, a mix of love and hate, and the angst is truly heart-wrenching. For example, during the rescue of the male lead in the dilapidated temple, the female lead chooses to save the second male lead; the male lead imprisons the female lead…
So sweet, so incredibly sweet! I absolutely love this kind of novel! I love this novel so much! The short, concise storyline was captivating; I listened attentively to every chapter and section until the very end. Reading it made my face flush and my heart race; I felt completely immersed in the story! Even after finishing it, I still wanted more.
I hope the author updates soon, it's really good! I kept imagining which actress looked like the female lead, but then I saw the gentle and cultured lady in "Five Blessings," and I kept putting Liu Xiening's face into the novel. I couldn't think of a suitable actor for the male lead, I didn't try to picture any particular face, but I really love the novel.
