The scent of dragon’s-blood incense in Qianyuan Hall was so thick it was almost suffocating.
Zhongli Zhao lay limp among the brocade quilts. The feverish heat that had consumed her after she was drugged last night still lingered throughout her body. Her mind hazy, memories flashed through her like scenes in a lantern show.
She married a slave to borrow his life and ward off evil, then humiliated him as she pleased.
Who could have guessed he was the crown prince? To save her own life, she had no choice but to play along and put on an act of “deep and devoted love.”
Once the business in Jiangnan was settled, she presented him with a divorce agreement, hoping to sever their ties and part on good terms.
Months later, he ascended the throne.
An imperial edict summoned every noble family in Jiangnan to the capital for a palace banquet.
The banquet was filled with enchanting music and clinking cups, but Zhongli Zhao was drugged by a villain.
She struggled to leave, but Shen Yuhui pulled her into his arms and carried her straight back to his bedchamber.
The candlelight flickered in the room. Seeing her overcome with desire in his arms, he held her captive and kept her with him all night.
When she woke again, Zhongli Zhao was aching all over, and Shen Yuhui was keeping watch by her side.
“Zhaozhao, don’t leave me, all right?”
[Bonus scene]
General of the Northern Frontier: “Your Majesty, I’ve confirmed that she is the wicked woman who humiliated you in Jiangnan.”
The newly crowned emperor waves his sleeve. “Silence. The empress saved my life.”
General of the Northern Frontier: “?”
I really like these last few sentences: She suddenly felt that this was the life she wanted. There are not too many vigorous stories, not too many ups and downs of the plot. These are the days. There are flowers in spring, wind in summer, fruits in autumn, and snow in winter. With him by his side, Nian Zhao is growing up, and Tuantuan is walking around at his feet. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, trivial matters, day and night. These are the best days. The days pass day by day, like a tireless river, carrying the flowers on both sides of the bank to bloom and fall, spring to autumn, flowing forward slowly. This is how they have lived their lives. There is no intrigue, only mutual support. The most important thing is that I think they grow in love with each other. The male protagonist learns how to love the female protagonist correctly, and the female protagonist also learns to respond to the male protagonist. Both male and female protagonists are very good. The female protagonist is pampered but sensible and smart. Hui, the male protagonist fully accepts the joys and sorrows of the female protagonist, completely respects the heroine, and will constantly correct his behavior with the heroine. He loves and protects her. He often feels indebted to love, even though he has done a good job, he still feels that he is indebted to the heroine. He really, really loves her. This novel scores full marks.
The whole story is quite good, with a tendency to flow slowly and slowly. The emotional line between the male and female protagonists is also gentle, and the plot is straightforward and bold without any delay. The plot has ups and downs, and it will become a bit dull and boring in the middle and later stages, because most of the stories are about daily life. So there is not much ups and downs and challenges. But from another perspective, the article doesn't have a lot of bad things going on. For example, there will be no other women in the male protagonist's harem, or there will be no female rivals. It's completely comforting, and the heroine's family is also well described. The male protagonist's love for the female protagonist is also very clear and has always been unwavering. The article is easy to understand, the plot is full, the content is substantial, and the plot is clear but it lacks a bit of ups and downs. There won't be too many ups and downs for them to go through, and there won't be that many misunderstandings that can't be resolved. Therefore, the whole article has just the right sweetness, as if it were some small things in ordinary daily life that we get along with for a long time. The whole article is still very good 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
You can come and read this book😊! The plot is light but very full. When you watch it calmly, you will be led by the emotions inside. It is gentle, full and not boring. The thinking and portrayal of the characters are also very profound. The hearts of those who watch it are soft.
The story progresses very quickly, Shuang Jie, recommended.
It's really beautiful. The author's writing style is very good. His emotions are subtle and flowing, and his descriptions are very delicate. I really like Zhao Zhao's pampering but sober and rational character. The male protagonist also loves Zhao Heng 99~
Hahahahahahahaha so cool! You sister Zhao must enjoy it hard!
It's so beautiful. Author, do you really only have this book? Very good at writing
