[Two equally strong leads, both chaste + sapiosexual romance + female-centered + Foucault]
Ning Zhen, the daughter of a housekeeper, grew up under the roof of the Ji family.
Everyone thought she was insignificant and beneath notice. Only Ji Siheng, the Ji family's brooding, obsessive head, saw her as his one and only fixation.
When she broke a vase as a child, he stepped in to help her out of trouble.
When she was on the verge of a breakdown after being bullied at school, he gradually drew her close and kept her by his side.
She thought it was salvation, never realizing that from beginning to end, it had all been a carefully planned process of taming.
Her gambling-addict father's prison sentence was secretly extended, her mother became unpaid labor for the Ji family, and the debts she worked and studied to repay all became bargaining chips he used to control her.
Even their secret, entangled relationship was a set of shackles he had carefully chosen.
He stood by as his birth mother sank into depression and died, leaving him steeped in darkness.
He treated her as a pawn in his fight against fate, planning every move and allowing her no chance to escape.
She wasn't an exception. She was simply the prey in his script.
When the full truth came to light, the prey awakened.
With the Ji family's lifeline in her hands, she looked coldly at the madman who had tamed her:
Ji Siheng, it's my turn to end this game.
Ning Zhen: I don't want power to bow before me. I want to become power itself.
Ning Zhen is not the slave of the monarch, but the absolute candidate for the next monarch. I look forward to her growth and wonderful life. None of the characters created are too great, each has its own charm. Girl-centered books are my cup of tea. Thank you for recommending this book to me, especially when I am about to be short of books. I hope more people can read this book. Author, keep writing!!! [Please update]
The character design is very interesting, but it is a bit different from the author's initial statement that the male protagonist rarely appears. The appearance rate is still quite high. It can be seen that the author is very careful in shaping, but I still feel that the heroine's ability is not enough, not enough to overturn the male protagonist, and the male protagonist feels a little surrender. But this kind of subject is well written
