This is a sentimental plot of revenge. The heroine is an eldest princess who appears to be favored but is actually full of hatred. The hero is a ruthless and affectionate prince. From testing each other to delivering each other, the two joined forces to stir up the situation in the court and make those betrayers pay for their debts with blood. The plot is fast-paced, with interlocking plots and plots. The male and female protagonists flirt with each other. There are no misunderstandings or bloodshed, and the IQ is on the line throughout.
After reading the opening chapter of the novel, the image of a princess who grows up independently in the test of fate emerges vividly on the page. The protagonist Jiang Youning is undoubtedly the soul of the book. She was not born deep, but since childhood, after experiencing changes in reality, she gradually realized the complexity of the environment and chose to bid farewell to her innocent old self. She is smart and tenacious, and quietly accumulates strength under the protection of Beizhou Zhenbei Palace; she has faith in her heart, but is not bound by the past, and always maintains clear judgment. The most touching thing about this character is that she never gives up her grasp on her destiny despite adversity. She is not only obsessed with restoring the old things that have been covered up, but also trying to find her own way in a complicated situation. I think this is a work worth reading carefully. The author portrays a real and three-dimensional growth-oriented heroine. I am very much looking forward to seeing how she sticks to her original intention, clarifies the mystery, and finally opens up her own vast world in the subsequent plots.
Jiang Youning's return to Beijing is the restart button for the Machiavellian chess game. Carrying the blood feud of the Mu family's old case, she hid her talents in the hotbed of Beizhou. When she returned, she used her identity as the eldest princess as a chess piece, and understood the true intention of her father's recall, which coincided with the layout of Zhenbei Palace. The text draws between her cold calculations and her great-aunt's warm protection. In just a few strokes, she outlines the game of people's hearts under the imperial power - the so-called favor is a shackle, the so-called family affection is a bargaining chip, and she wants to be the one who overturns the chessboard and rewrites the fate with her own hands.
The heroine Jiang Youning and the hero Xiao Yu join forces. She is crazy and he is crazy. They massacred the loyal souls of their enemies in the imperial city, and entered into a fight with the evildoers, yet managed to escape unscathed. This is their strength. If the imperial power calls those who contradict it as traitors and traitors, then let them see how these traitors and traitors break the world. This is courage. The true love between the heroine Jiang Youning and the hero Xiao Yu is the most touching. This is the most cherished wisp of smoke in the human world. It is ethereal, but makes people yearn for it: The male protagonist Xiao Yu's promise: This world is cruel, and I will protect you for the rest of my life. The trust of the heroine Jiang Youning: I will bet the rest of my life that you will not make me regret it. I hope that the heroine Jiang Youning's trust in the hero comes from the fact that the promise comes from the depths of the hero's heart and she doesn't care whether the promise can be fulfilled. The plot design of this story is so attractive and endlessly memorable! The author's writing is smooth and the characters are vivid and immersive!
The strong forces join forces and connect with each other to create touching plots in the story set by the author, interpret each vivid soul, and present the cold and warm world, the two sides of the human heart to everyone in an imaginative way. It is highly readable and informative... It is worth recommending to everyone.
This is an ancient proverb work that combines the game of power and the two-way rush with great tension. It is remarkable in terms of details, writing style and subject matter. The author's writing style is highly recognizable, combining the elegance of ancient proverbs with the sharpness of refreshing prose. The setting of dual identities and dual personalities allows the characters to get rid of the flat labels of good and evil. They are both Avengers and fellow travelers who illuminate each other in the darkness.
Nice. This is a drama set in an imaginary dynasty, unfolding a hearty drama of revenge and redemption. The dual-power setting of the eldest princess and the prince is the soul of the book. The female protagonist bears the hatred of her mother, but she is gentle on the surface but has a deep understanding of human nature, and uses strategy as an edge to stir up the political situation; the male protagonist hides a bloody past and is ruthless in his methods, but he can only show his sincerity to her. The bond between the two of "she is crazy and he is evil" breaks the traditional romance routine of a weak female protagonist and is full of tension. The plot closely follows the main line of revenge, peels away the veil of hypocrisy in the court, and writes the power game in a shocking way. The plot of the two teaming up to overturn the chaos and slaughter the family to sacrifice the souls of the dead is extremely dark, but it accurately touches the reader's desire for justice. The vow to "live together in a prosperous age" and the obsession to "clear the sea, rivers and rivers" add a fatalistic romance to this power struggle. The book's portrayal of human nature is profound. The intrigues in the court and the contrast between the characters' dual identities make the story rich in layers. There is a confrontation of wits and wits, as well as an affectionate bond of life and death. Seeing sincerity in the darkness, and finding light in revenge. It is a masterpiece that is both refreshing and emotionally rich.
This work is a masterpiece of ancient-style conspiracy and revenge with a grand layout. The work takes "double strength + high IQ strategy" as the core, portraying the eldest princess who is gentle on the surface and good at manipulating people's hearts to avenge her mother, and the prince who is not kind but ruthless but willing to sacrifice everything. The two "she is crazy and he is crazy", from the fetters of "past things" to the game of "controversy in the court", they join forces to join the game, vowing to subvert the hypocrisy of the world. The author's writing style is delicate and his conception is exquisite. He has designed a very exciting plot with a stable daily rhythm. Through plots such as "Xuan Ye Pavilion" and "Meeting Old Friends", he has exquisitely laid out the relationship between personal love and hatred and the righteousness of the family and country. Emotional tension and depth of power coexist, showing solid narrative skills and clear grand ideas. This work is undoubtedly a good choice for readers who like strong alliances, reversal of wits and ultimate redemption. It's good-looking, the heroine is so sassy, I like this type [smile][smile]
Jiang Youning's growth process is moving. From innocence to calmness, he sticks to his faith in adversity and accumulates strength to break through the situation and move forward. The author delicately portrays a three-dimensional and full-grown heroine. Her figure of adhering to her original intention and exploring the truth is full of power and is worth reading carefully.
"The Tribulation of Lights" is not a simple revenge story, but a love-hate story that overturns the universe and is co-directed by two "crazy" protagonists: the eldest princess Jiang Youning and the prince Xiao Yu. It has the grandeur of opening and closing, as well as the warmth and tenderness of the flowing water, and the hearty rhythm of the plot makes people unable to put it down. The author's writing style is delicate and sophisticated. Whether it is the description of the scene or the inner activities of the characters, they are all described deeply and have a strong sense of picture. Taken together, it is a rare masterpiece of ancient romance, highly recommended!
