At twelve, Gu Heng is summoned back to her aristocratic family by imperial decree. There, she learns that her twin brother has died suddenly and that she must disguise herself as a man to take his place. Beneath the Gu family’s grand halls and lofty towers, danger lurks everywhere. The matriarch, Madam Cui, watches her like a hawk; her sickly legitimate elder brother is inscrutable; and Xie Yan, the Left Chancellor who can turn the court upside down, looks at her with growing suspicion.
“Remember, you are Gu Mingzhang now.” Her father places a jade crown on her head. “If you give yourself away, the person at the estate won’t survive either.”
Inside and outside the palace walls, she must imitate her late brother’s unruly nature while staying alert to the third prince’s probing questions. Then war breaks out on the frontier, and through the words of her father’s old comrades, Gu Heng uncovers the truth: the Xie family was wiped out because of a deal between the Gu and Cui families.
“My lord, Xie Yan has surrounded the Gu residence with the Imperial Guards!”
As candlelight flickers, Gu Heng cuts off her long hair and throws her jade crown down the steps. “If I must be a man, then I’ll be the one at the very top.”
I don't like emotional drama in novels. I just felt that there was less emotional drama in this book. I also want to do orthopedics
I think the author said he wanted to write about Chu Chengxiao! But for many reasons it can only be ended hastily! What a pity! Except the ending is too hasty! I personally think that everyone in this novel is well portrayed, and they are all flesh and blood. The author's writing style is excellent, and I received a five-star rating!
It's good to watch, it's really good to watch, I don't want to spoil it, just go and watch it. Really, it's not a cliche plot. I've been a bookworm for more than ten years. I finally found one that I can watch. I don't need to catch up on it. It's over. I really can go and watch it.
It's pretty good, not too depressing. The character Gu Yunzhi is very charming.
Very good. The timeline in the early stages was a bit off-kilter, and it would have been better if prompt words were added at the beginning of the chapter. It would be great if it were a long story, but I still don't have enough to say, but it's not a bad idea to stop here. The character design of the heroine is my favorite in recent times, and the supporting characters are also well portrayed. The emotional line is really unforgettable, and the non-pure love really irritates me.
The plot is good and doesn't drag. The written narrative is well-written. The scenery and narrative are naturally and seamlessly connected. The costumes, decorations, and architectural furnishings are meaningful and can make people watch it involuntarily. Great♥♥
The heroine was sane throughout the whole process. She just felt that her brother's death was too sudden. I felt like he wasn't really dead. It was really good to watch [I almost cried]
It's good-looking, but the details are a little hasty and rough, but it's also designed to advance the plot and the routines are novel, so it's worth watching.
Nice. It's just that the ending is a bit unsatisfactory.
Can you write a side story? I love my brother so much.
