[Reading Guide] One-on-one romance, older man-younger woman, both are each other’s first | Not a strong female lead story, not an independent heroine story
The heroine knows when to lie low, when to stand her ground, and when to use someone else’s influence. She never forces herself into an image of independence.
Su Lingwei transmigrates into a historical romance novel she only read halfway through, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting character with the same name.
The original owner was obsessed with the crown prince and behaved so outrageously that she became a laughingstock throughout the capital. In the end, she was killed with a cup of poisoned wine, and her whole family was condemned to death along with her.
Su Lingwei swears: Whoever wants to be lovesick can do it, and whoever wants to fight to be crown princess can have the job. She just wants to lie flat and stay alive!
But who could have guessed? She avoids the crown prince like the plague, and he keeps coming after her.
She steers clear of the original heroine, but the woman insists on seeking her out and causing trouble.
She wants to lie low, but these people keep plotting against her time and again.
There’s no way she can just give up, so she’ll repay every grudge and settle every score!
What she never saw coming, no matter how carefully she calculated, was that Xie Jingchen, the most untouchable man in the entire book and the youngest grand secretary in the court, would take an interest in her.
Later, everyone in the capital knows that the aloof Grand Secretary Xie spoils Miss Su like a queen.
She says she wants to be the only one he ever loves, and he proclaims to the world that she will be the only woman in his life.
She says she wants to lie flat and live like a lazy fish, and he shields her from every storm, keeping her safe and at peace for the rest of her life.
Late at night, beneath the warm bed curtains, Su Lingwei is so exhausted she can barely lift a finger. She begs in a hoarse voice, “I really don’t have any strength left…”
Xie Jingchen leans close, his breath brushing her ear, and coaxes her with a low laugh. “Didn’t you want to lie flat? Your husband will take care of everything. You just lie there.”
Su Lingwei is close to tears. That’s not what she meant by lying flat!
Okay, okay, the male protagonist is good-looking, powerful and rich. It's rare to see a male protagonist with a harmonious family and who didn't endure hardships when he was young. The female protagonist is smart and beautiful, and it's time for her to fight back. I like the emotional line very much, it is very delicate, the male protagonist is so good at seducing the peacock to open its tail, especially the part where he sells himself to the female protagonist is so sweet. , I've just finished reading half of it, I'll come back and comment after I finish it 🤭 🤔 🤭
The full text is very doting and sweet. The heroine wears a book and is pampered by her parents and two older brothers at home. She knows the plot of the book so she stops chasing the prince and wants to save the lives of her family. The change in her temperament attracts the attention of the male protagonist in her first appearance. The relationship between the male protagonist does come very quickly. He is simply clingy in the back, helping the heroine and her family change their destiny. The fifth prince is indeed pitiful, he was reborn.
This book is really beautiful, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists is particularly delicate. The feeling of flowing water is not boring. It's the kind of movie that's worth watching, it's thought-provoking, and the more you watch it, the more interesting it becomes. I also think the author's writing style is very good, not that amazing. But it's the kind that makes people endure and watch it. It's really good to watch. I hope the plot behind it won't be too delayed or confusing. Just write it like this, it's really nice.
The emotional direction of the male and female protagonists is very natural, which is quite good. However, after the wedding, they are all CX. If it is too much, it is not enough. If there are too many plots, you will get bored and lose the passion to watch it. That degree still needs to be grasped. 2026-6-24
It's quite interesting, and it's tempting to keep reading.
So pretty, quite sweet
2026.6.18 Very good! It's very sweet and looks very comfortable! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's very interesting and fast-paced.
I have a question, how did the male protagonist achieve the position of first assistant at such a young age?
It's a sweet book, the heroine has a good personality, and the hero is very reliable. Been watching it all afternoon
