This work is set against the background of the ever-changing era of the Song Dynasty, and outlines a story that combines the power of the court and the love between children. It makes people feel excited and sighing when reading it. "Heroes don't ask where they come from" - the story begins with a fateful encounter that saved his life. Shangguan Yanran's rescue not only ignited the fire of hope in Mu Chen's life, but also planted the seeds of a lifelong bond between the two. The growth line from grassroots to feudal lord is the epic rise of a hero, and it is also a persistent pursuit of "becoming a better self for the people you love". Mu Chen's image is full and three-dimensional. He has the courage to go into battle in armor, and the resourcefulness to deal with the power of the court. Behind the seemingly cold political marriage, there is an unknown affectionate guardianship. "Friendship is difficult to achieve, and choice is fate." The most touching part of the story lies in the in-depth portrayal of the characters' plight. The plot of Mu Chen being forced to accept marriage in order to protect his love shows the helplessness of reality of "being in a world where you can't help yourself", and also makes this forbearing and restrained love appear more tragic and tense. The tug of court affairs and personal emotions push the protagonist's inner world to a dramatic peak of conflict. And when the old friends meet again, the story changes slightly, quietly withdrawing from the heavy elegies of the great era, and replacing it with a touch of warm and bright color - "Two babies in hand, you don't have to worry about chasing your wife" - who would have expected that the general who used to be a marquis on the battlefield would today turn into a dad who "takes his baby to chase his wife"? This reversal full of life can be called a stroke of genius. It cleverly transforms the depressive feeling caused by the power struggle into a warm daily life that makes people smile. We seem to see him, who once held a high position, hurriedly coaxing two little babies, just to get her to look back once. This is not only a clever design of the plot, but also the most vivid interpretation of "unswerving love": even if time passes and identities change, the original protective heart has never changed. The entire work perfectly integrates the grand historical background and delicate emotional description, including the court intrigues and feelings of family and country in the style of "Nirvana in Fire", as well as the life details and character growth in "Knowledge" style. It allows us to see: the most affectionate protection may not be to overthrow the world for her, but to be able to walk towards her with a pure heart after going through vicissitudes of life. Looking forward to more excitement in the follow-up "The Road to Chasing Wife" - to see how the former hero balances court and family, and to see what kind of wisdom and sincerity he will use to regain that charming smile. This journey, full of warmth and hope, is waiting to set sail.
This novel is set in the chaotic times of the Song Dynasty, embedding the fate of sisters Mu Chen and Shangguan Yanran into the historical torrent, and unfolding a moving picture between power and love. The male protagonist Mu Chen has grown from a poor scholar to a feudal general. He has the chivalrous spirit to protect his sisters and the forbearance to deal with the court. The helplessness of being trapped in a political marriage makes the character more three-dimensional and vivid. Sister Shangguan Yanran breaks away from the stereotype label. She has both the delicate thoughts of a romantic woman and the chivalrous responsibility when her family and country are in danger. The loving motherly feelings of "being strong as a mother" add to the warmth of humanity. The novel integrates unofficial legends into the narrative of Song history. Conspiracies and intrigues are intertwined with love and hatred. The ups and downs of the plot include the fight between two men and the pursuit of the mother with a child. It not only takes into account the historical weight, but also maintains the readability of the online text. The writing style is popular, humorous, and down-to-earth. In the midst of war and romance, it fully describes the righteousness of family and country and the love of children in troubled times. It is a masterpiece of ancient proverbs and political strategy that is worthy of careful reading.
This is an excellent ancient novel that perfectly combines the heroine's sense of revenge with the twists and turns of power. Taking Chu Ying's life trajectory as the axis, it unfolds a long story of a bloody desperate situation from the family's annihilation to the step-by-step counterattack to ascend to the throne, allowing readers to witness a hearty female awakening in the interlocking layout and confrontation. From living for revenge to fighting for oneself, the intention is far more than the thrill of revenge, but also the discussion of women's self-worth. Chu Ying's life is a life of walking through blood and breaking free from the shackles of fate. She allows readers to see that the power of women is never limited to the love between children. When obsession turns into confidence, when the edge is hidden in the flesh and blood, women can also stand at the pinnacle of power, be the sun and moon, and control the world. This sonorous rose blooming from the sinking sand finally became its own king in blood and glory. Highly recommended for book lovers to read

On New Year's Eve, I randomly opened the novel "Jade Button Sinking in the Sand". After reading a few episodes, I was deeply attracted by the wonderful story in it. This novel takes the Song Dynasty as the historical background and has a good intention. It closely combines personal destiny with the destiny of the country. The beginning of the novel is fascinating. The eldest lady Shangguan Yanran desperately rescues the wounded soldier Mu Chen into his home and hides him in the woodshed to treat his injuries. After Mu Chen recovered from his injury, he became a general. He touched the mutton-fat white jade button that his savior Shangguan Yanran had dropped, and vowed to protect his benefactor. However, he did not expect that Shangguan's family would be involved in a major rebellion at this time, which led to a series of ups and downs of the story. The novel is very exciting, worth reading and recommending, five-star praise 👍 👍 This book is really well written. I couldn't put it down after reading it. I read it again today.
The Song Dynasty background + Machiavellian sadomasochism are too over the top! The bond between General Zhenbei and the two sisters started with a jade button. After ten years of guarding, family injustice, and misplaced marriages, the plot continued to twist. Mu Chen's forbearance, Yan Ran's deep affection, and Mo Ran's persistence are all vividly portrayed, with an ancient atmosphere, the plotting lines in the court are intertwined with the emotional lines, the rhythm is tight and not procrastinating, and you can't stop staying up late to catch up. The content is novel and interesting, keep reading.
Help! Who understands the old saying that "a general takes his child to chase his wife" and feels great! Mu Chen was rescued by Shangguan Yanran from a down-and-out young man, and made a counterattack all the way to become a powerful marquis. However, to protect his sister, he went around the court and got involved in a political marriage. When the old friends reunited, the former God of War turned into a "super daddy" and started a long journey to chase his wife with his two cute babies. The plot lines are intertwined with the emotional lines, including the turmoil in the court and the tender pull in the family. The antique writing style is full of tension, and it received five-star praise! Wonderful and worth reading
The protagonist sticks to his original intention in the whirlpool of power and intrigue, and hides tenderness in the changing circumstances. Mu Chen's rise from a grassroots counterattack to a feudal lord is not only a counterattack, but also a protection for Shangguan Yanran across life and death. The plot of the story is vivid, the dilemma between love and love, and every decision made is very touching. Must be recommended with five stars!
