Meng Yunning served as the Pei clan’s matriarch for fifteen years, using the strength of her entire family to help her husband, Pei Jingheng, rise to the position of chief minister. What she got in return was a cup of poisoned wine and a remark from her half-sister, Meng Lingtan: “The Prime Minister said you’re too clever. So clever that you frighten him.”
When she opened her eyes again, she was fifteen.
This time, she would be no one’s stepping stone.
She would make Pei Jingheng suffer every bit of pain he had inflicted on her. She would save every member of the Meng family. And within the red gates and deep courtyards, she would carve out a path of her own.
What she never expected was to meet Xiao Yanzhi, Prince of Zhenbei, along the way: a man who walked alone through the dark, just as she did.
The game is underway. Once a move is made, there is no taking it back.
Very good. I've seen a handful of good novels on Tomato. The narrative is gentle and eloquent, the description of the scenery sets off people's mood, and the foreshadowing clues are laid out in a natural and layered manner. It just feels beautiful and the characters are very distinct. It is a good novel 👍
It is a well-written book that describes the power of Guandu in a gentle way. It is not a fierce confrontation, nor does it have the aura of the heroine, but a gentle and calm way to describe the situations, psychology, and choices of several characters. There are many metaphors in it, such as lotus seeds, orchids, osmanthus and so on. Some passages appear repeatedly, which strengthens the depth of the author's narrative. It's worth listening to it slowly, don't be anxious, those buried threads, those people's hearts, those things
Xianglin's sister-in-law's narration highlights one point over and over again, and the whole thing advances at the speed of two steps forward and one step back. Readers can slowly savor...
The description is delicate, the writing skills are good, and the pace is slow.
The writing is beautiful and picturesque, and the plot design is fascinating.
There are so many starting over
The article is written very delicately, describing the protagonist's state of mind as if he was brought into the character. Go back and read this sentence again to understand it. It tells the story of a wise woman who is reborn and slowly tries to figure it out. A novel with a story.
It's very profound, a bit mind-consuming, and it's good to watch quietly. Not a mindless article.
The writing is good, but the story is not finished yet
It's beautiful, the description is simple, but it's close to people's hearts.
