[Eldest Princess x Best Scholar Consort]
[Marriage First, Love Later + The Consort's Political Career]
Everyone says Eldest Princess Shen Chaoyan lost her senses over the Best Scholar's handsome face.
Only she knows she loves the integrity beneath his cool exterior, his refusal to curry favor or flatter anyone.
So she asks her imperial brother to arrange their marriage, offers him her heart, and gives him everything she has. Even when all of the capital laughs at her, she is happy to do it.
She believes this marriage is nothing more than her unrequited love.
She doesn't know that on their wedding night, after the candles go out, the man who treats her with such distant courtesy secretly watches her all night.
From the moment he kneels to receive the imperial decree, he knows he must not fall for her.
But when it comes to matters of the heart, who can say what is or isn't allowed?
Shen Chaoyan: “In this life, I chose the right person, then gave everything I had to protect him and the Shen realm.”
Rong Yuan: “In my life, I have only two goals: to finish the word ‘integrity’ my father left unfinished, stroke by stroke, in the imperial court, and to protect the home she gave me.”
The author's writing is really good, but how could it be so heartbreaking? I cried the whole time. The Crown Princess is so heartbroken, the female lead died so young, the male and female leads committed suicide together, and even their child was demoted. But Rong Zhao and Cheng Yu grew up together, how could this happen? How could this happen? 😢😢😢😢
It's been a long time since I wrote a book review, so I'll write one today. Actually, I didn't like reading historical romance novels at first, but recently I've been experiencing a reading slump and reached a plateau, so I thought I'd give it a try. If I can continue reading, it means I can still enjoy it.
The writing is delicate, the content is rich, and it's very moving.
It's a great read. Although both the male and female leads die, how can that not be considered a happy ending? The author's writing style is also excellent.
