This book really gets more and more exciting the more I read it! The setting of fantasy heroine + Machiavellian sweetheart really irritates me. The heroine Ling Xi is both sassy and doting. She has traveled from a modern instructor to a Zhenbei general. She is as cold as ice to others, but she is gentle to Xie Zhenci. Xie Zhenci appears to be weak and fragile, but in fact he is sinister and decisive, gentle and powerful. He is not a dependent character. The relationship between the two is delicate, there is no bloody misunderstanding, and everything goes in both directions. Iron-blooded and tender feelings coexist at the border, the court's machinations are not subdued by wisdom, the emotional line is stable and healed, the plot is relaxed and moderate, and the more you watch, the more you get addicted. Especially the confrontation in Jinluan Palace made me feel heartbroken! Wei Yong was aggressive in every word, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty had their own thoughts. The empress looked on with cold eyes, and Ling Xi was the only one to deal with it calmly. I thought it was just the court's political intrigue, but I didn't expect that the most shocking thing after returning home was Xie Zhenci's gentleness. When a strong person fights off thorns outside, there is always someone waiting for him tenderly when he comes back. This kind of two-way healing is really wonderful! The author, please keep writing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!
