It's dull but the more I watch it, the more I want to watch it. The male protagonist is really a diligent and wise man. Although with the heroine, the balance of pros and cons outweighs love. But this is the balancing act of a good emperor, and it is not tyranny. He was also very generous to his concubines and treated his children with great care. The heroine is even more tenacious and thoughtful. Although the two of them did not have a vigorous love, they had been together for a long time and had a long-lasting love. It's a pity that the male protagonist was too diligent and died young. I feel a little sorry for the wise king of the generation 🤭🤭🤭
The whole story is smooth and natural. The heroine initially seeks peace in the palace with the idea of living a stable life, but in the end she has to protect her children and family due to various opportunities. The emotional line is long and thin, and they do not indulge blindly. They try their best to stay awake and understand the helplessness of trying to achieve their goals. Compared with the vigorous love, they turn their love and long-term accumulated trust into family-like dependence. My favorite is the Zhaohua x Xian Zheng string. In these times where everything is against the law, it is courageous to still choose to venture into the world and spend the rest of our lives together. The male protagonist once had murderous intentions towards Xian Zheng, but this made the character more three-dimensional. The monarch who has been immersed in the court for a long time may not only consider the happiness of his daughter, but also the eyes of the outside world. But such a decisive person finally chose Chengquan, as long as his daughter could escape from the prison and be happy. The heroine has one of the most vivid and profound love for her children in the Gongdou novels I have read. She may not be decisive and indecisive at times, but she has always been thinking about her children. My relationship with my sister has truly enabled me to understand each other. I hope that each other is safe and happy more than seeing each other frequently. This is a rare and sincere wish. It can be felt that the author is trying his best to explore and expand the diverse possibilities of women's survival in the original ancient background. Xianzheng and Zhaohua are existences that can breathe freely. The fly in the ointment is that some paragraphs are too trivial to segment. Perhaps combining sentences would make it easier to read. I have a small regret, but I also feel satisfied. There are a few extra chapters, but when I think about it, everything that can be explained in the main text is explained. It would be good not to dwell on the palace battles, but to focus on the open world. In this way, I would like to think it is a good Gongdouwen.
How should I put it, the overall feeling is pretty good, a very realistic kind of Gong Douwen. The only uncomfortable thing is that I am 100% controlled by the female protagonist, so it is a bit difficult to accept that someone competes with the female protagonist and the male protagonist has a child not born by the female protagonist. However, because I know that it is not a sweet pet story, and the plot is very good, I can suppress some thoughts and calm down to watch it. Also, the princess who had a good life as a child was not included in the harem. This is a very good impression, otherwise I would be irritated~
I still highly recommend this book. If you are a baby who likes long flowing water, then this book is really suitable. There are no big ups and downs. There are only ordinary life and warmth. There are small ups and downs, but they are also part of life. The friendship between the sister and the princess in the extra story is also well written. It is very precious to see the friendship between the ordinary and the ordinary. The relatives care about each other and understand each other. This book is suitable for those who like family relationships. There are no special ups and downs, just the bits and pieces of life. Babies with a slow pace may like this book. Luo Ning is a bit of a lover, but she doesn't just want stability. She can stand alone when danger comes. She is a very sober baby. The writing is very good. I will give it a thumbs up [send heartfelt praise] [send heartfelt praise]
It's plain and good-looking. The emperor has the power and the harem is under his control. He is very realistic. In the later period, he also feels that he has feelings for the heroine. Although the title says that he will be the queen when he is lying flat, the heroine is only lying flat in the early stage. In the later period, she cheers up for the sake of her children. The growth line is very obvious and you can clearly see the changes in the heroine. The relationship between the eldest princess and the heroine's sister is unexpected. I didn't expect to be able to write Lily. This pair is also very beautiful. The shortcoming for me is that some of the previous sentences are repeated, and I think the description of the names of the items is a bit cumbersome.
It's different from what I've seen before where the male and female protagonists communicate with each other early on, fight with each other, and then dissolve the harem and stay together forever, and they don't have so many sweet pets. The male protagonist is not too partial. He is more about weighing the pros and cons and balancing the former dynasty and the harem, which is very realistic. Yes, but it just feels bland and I don't know how to describe it. Maybe it's because the background is different. The male protagonist already has the power, and the Queen Mother is also helping him. There are overt and covert fights in the harem, but they are all under the control of the male protagonist. They are all his pawns. I feel that the female protagonist is also included. She should be sincere in the end. The female protagonist except her father, stepmother and stepsister. There was nothing wrong except that she got into some troubles. She resolved all the plots scheming by others. She was killed when she gave birth to her second child. In addition, the male protagonist deceived her sister into going to sea and actually went to the battlefield. The cold war was exposed for a period of time. One of the good things about her was that she and her sister had a good relationship. They helped each other and were both quite smart. They had the highlight of the heroine's sister. Then there is the emotional line between the heroine's sister and the hero's eldest daughter, which is acceptable. Overall it's pretty good, just like life without any thrills or big ups and downs. It may happen but the author didn't mention it in one stroke. The most shocking thing is that the relationship between the heroine's sister and the princess was exposed. If the heroine hadn't given birth to a second child at the right time, the hero would have wanted to kill her sister. (That's pretty much it, because I read it over several days and forgot about the previous ones 🤦)
It's actually pretty good. The female protagonist's journey to promotion was uneventful and she didn't suffer too much. Although the male protagonist was unclean, the emperor did a lot despite modern thinking. From the accident at the beginning, to one climbing up for the sake of the child, and one secretly paying attention, to a lot of overt favoring after the heroine's status rose, there is a bit of sourness in reality. The heroine really fell in love with the emperor, and because of the sadness and pain of the emperor, she finally became ordinary and became a community of interests and took charge of the harem. The hero was not without true feelings. His true feelings were hidden under the emperor's power, and he tried his best to protect the heroine. They lived a life like an ordinary couple, but they restrained each other and never expressed their feelings directly. Their feelings were rational and restrained. In fact, in the end, the heroine was determined to have a child that would always be bigger than the emperor. The emperor, on the contrary, the emperor fell in love more deeply. What is unexpected is that I thought that when the heroine became the queen in the end, Qin Se and Ming would really let go of their hearts. However, I did not expect that the emperor died young, which is quite contrary to the routine. It is a very realistic story, with a bit of heavyness in the plainness. It has a sour feeling when reading it. Maybe the two of them are wearing some masks in front of each other from beginning to end, but it is not that they don't love each other... The author has another vest. This writing style cannot be that of a new author. It is a very interesting book. I haven't read ancient Chinese in a long time. It is a bit like the writing style of the novel about rebirth of palace and house fighting many years ago. The story has a hazy and tragic tone, but it is not particularly heavy and heavy. There is no forced rhetoric that makes the text appear obscure. There is a sense of obscurity, but it is not the words, but the overflowing flavor that permeates the whole story.
I watched four o'clock in the morning in one breath. I saw the undercurrent of my sister and the princess. I couldn't help but watch the extra episode. It was great. It was the ending I wanted. [Sending my heart] [Sending my heart] It's just a pity that the male protagonist left too early. Alas... There are always imperfections 🥺 🥺 🥺
It's very well written. The titles of each chapter are very careful. The writing is smooth and natural. The style is somewhat classical. It's a very solid story. Personally, I think this score is underestimated. Maybe it's because it's relatively plain and real. It's not like those cool plots nowadays…
Plain and simple. Even the heroine's status after giving birth to the child is too low, right? Only the fifth grade. I hope there won't be any doting drama in the future, it'll be just plain and simple, similar to getting along with colleagues at work.
