Li Wanyan, daughter of Li Wei, a celebrated minister under the Yongzheng Emperor, enters the Forbidden City with the misty rains of Jiangnan and a talent that astonishes the world. Its glittering tiles and golden roofs make it a magnificent cage.
She is the most captivating confidante in the emperor’s heart. The guzheng sings beneath her fingers, and poetry and painting bloom in her presence. Her every smile and frown is as languid as spring water, yet a keen, chilling light shines in her eyes, as though she sees straight through everyone. “Win the emperor’s heart, and you win a lofty place” is her maxim as she advances, step by step, through the ninefold palace. All people are pieces on a board, and the lines of the game quietly unfold beneath her slender fingers, weaving an invisible, lethal web of power.
Only one person is the sole variable in her carefully laid plans.
The burning ambition in his eyes reflects the depths of her own heart. It begins with a deliberate act of “mercy,” followed by cold exploitation. He becomes the closest shadow at her side as she walks through the darkness, a poisoned blade and a silent shield. As she stirs up storms, he follows like her shadow, inseparable from her.
[Li Wanyan x Jinzong]
He says, “It wasn’t luck. It was that Jade Consort, who stands above the clouds and looks down on all living things like a celestial being… casually lowering a single spider’s thread, which kept me alive in this quagmire.”
He says, “This servant asks for little. I only hope that when Mistress Jade needs me, I can place a handy blade in her hand. Even if its edge is stained with blood and I am filthy from head to toe… I don’t mind.”
He knows full well that they are falling into an abyss of mutual scheming, yet he lets that delusion grow wildly in his heart and willingly sinks into it.
Fortunately… his celestial being finally lowered her gaze and took his hands, steeped in filth, into her own.
She says, “Jinzong, from now on, we’ll walk the road together.”
And so the cracks and broken tiles of his half-lived life were gently gathered beneath her palm.
Found a treasure! This book is so beautiful! Comfortable writing style, a heroine with brains and means, and a transitional and natural emotional line! Bashi! (The only "ooc" thing may be that according to the few descriptions so far, although Da Rudang's brains are abnormal in three aspects, they are not crazy in the original drama. I don't know if it's not time to write about them going crazy yet, or they are preparing to maintain a normal writing style, so they reduce the plot of them losing their minds.
Among all the newbies who write Zhongwen, the writing style is simply outstanding🥹. I didn't fall in love with it right away, and I didn't keep pulling it. You won't feel like you're wasting anyone's sincerity, and you won't feel like love comes out of nowhere. It's so well written. Looking forward to the update.
Help looks great! I have read a lot of articles about Jinzhong. This one has an original heroine. Compared to Jinwei's plot, it has a little more novelty. The heroine is a local, and she doesn't have any imaginative gold fingers. So far, the plot is progressing smoothly, the heroine is scheming and planning, and will not be wronged. The emotional line is also well written. I recommend it.
It's very interesting. It's not as bloody as other novels. The heroine has a lot of brains and is very clear-headed.
It's rare to see such a sober heroine in a fanfic, who is not obsessed with getting the heroine everywhere. After the palace fighting heroine enters the palace, she must first think about being favored and secondly having children (not necessarily having children by herself). Only when she is well off can she have the energy to think about other things.
The writing is good but seems a bit heavy
I like the character and character of the heroine, she is so charming and has such a strong aura. This made me unintentionally assume the image of the eldest princess among Da Feng's watchmen. Cool and calm, always in control.
It's so beautiful, why don't you all come and see it, please😭😭😭
It's rare to find a treasure in a bunch of novices
Looks good! There are just too few 😢😢😢😢
