The modern golden lawyer Shen Shuyao, when she opened her eyes, transformed into the cannon fodder of the same name in the ancient novel who could not survive three chapters. The original owner was obsessed with the prince, and in order to frame the prince's beloved Bai Yueguang, he actually designed to marry Pei Jingyuan, the most miserable powerful official in the book - the cannon fodder male partner who had disabled legs, was abandoned by the family, and was eventually killed.
Walking into the bridal chamber, looking at the man in the wheelchair with sinister eyes and thorns all over his body, Shen Shuyao decided to change the script: saving his life is the most important thing, first he should pamper this future boss as one of his own!
She tore apart the best relatives with her hands, kicked white lotus flowers with her feet, and became famous in the house fights; she also helped Pei Jingyuan recover, seize power, and rise to prominence.
Just doting on her, a certain powerful official's style suddenly changed. During the day, he was the cold-faced King of Hell, but at night, he held her in his arms. His voice was low and hoarse: "Yaoyao, today's task of being a 'favorite husband' has not been completed yet."
Reader comments
This novel has strong dramatic tension from the beginning, and uses a "poison-like opening" to quickly grab the reader's attention - under the seemingly ordinary background of house fighting, there are treacherous details that violate common sense, and the protagonist Shen Shuyao's dilemma is intertwined with mysterious clues, making people want to explore it as soon as they open it.
The setting of the protagonist Shen Shuyao is particularly eye-catching. She is not a weak or scheming noblewoman in traditional otaku novels, but an "intruder" with modern thinking. She has the calmness to face difficulties without losing her warmth towards human feelings. Her relationship with Pei Jingyuan is even more unconventional. From the initial mutual testing to the later fighting side by side, there is no brainless sweetheart, but a convincing bond is born in crisis after crisis. Behind the phrase "we are allies" lies the most touching trust in troubled times.
The plot progresses smoothly, and each chapter is like a carefully designed hook: blood stains in the woodshed, missing bodies, mysterious invitations... The foreshadowing is nested layer by layer, and the twists are unexpected but logically strict. Liu Ruyan's hypocrisy, the prince's stupidity, and the prime minister's greed. Each supporting character is not a simple tool. Their calculations and struggles make the plot line of the whole story more real.
What's even more rare is that the novel always retains a "human" warmth amidst the tense plot. The details of Shen Shuyao's delicate vigil and feeding Pei Jingyuan medicine, Pei Jingyuan's clumsy way of protecting his wife, and Su Wenqian's contradiction of seemingly scheming but actually protecting his relatives, make the character break out of the frame of a "powerful conspiracy machine" and become vivid and perceptible.
At present, it seems that the core suspense of the story - Pei Jingyuan's old poison, the truth about the unjust case, and the power behind the Shadow Pavilion - are still fermenting, and Shen Shuyao and Pei Jingyuan's "counterattack" has just begun. This kind of thrilling plot of court intrigues and delicate touches of warmth in troubled times make people full of expectations for the subsequent development. They just want to follow it all at once to see how this pair of "alliances" can carve out their own way of survival in the turbulent capital.
