A Gentle, Refined Male Lead 😶 No Yandere! No Yandere! Historical Setting Preferred
Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste
Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

Looking for books like After the Marriage Swap, the Cannon-Fodder Original Wife Gets a Happy Ending with the Young General. I love stories with a smart heroine who has both brains and tactics.

Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

It's super good. I dare say that the male and female protagonists are a rare pairing in ancient fiction. The Flood and Epidemic did not compromise the plot in order to highlight the heroine's intelligence, everything still happened. As an indigenous ancient, Zhen Zhen did not have any golden fingers in the whole process. Instead, she quickly provided solutions to the disaster that had already occurred, and discovered the truth bit by bit with the male protagonist. I really praise the author, his writing style is very good and he is very good at creating an atmosphere! ! Whether it's Zhen Zhen chatting with her friends at night, or the long street, or the description of floods and epidemics, I really get goosebumps, it's like a long drama! The supporting characters also have their own highlight moments. Zhenzhen and the eldest sister will still recognize her efforts and achievements in learning dance even if they don't fight against each other. The heroine is compassionate and thoughtful, and the super good baby🥺 does not deliberately depict patriotism in the whole text, but loyalty and betrayal are shown lightly in the text. The male protagonist is also very good-looking, a complete brother, and can handle things very well. I personally only like polite male protagonists, so I can't stand many ancient Chinese novels. This Xiao Heling completely defeats those who act like gangsters just because he is an official spouse! This article can definitely be included in my TOP list. Boss, please update. . .
It's really good to read. I beg the author to update it quickly! ! ! Kowtow! It feels like there's a twist in the heroine's identity! I absolutely love this type of King Chen! ! I really like the feeling of the heroine, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? ? It feels a bit like this! I hope my brother will become my sister's loyal dog! ! The second lady feels like a powerful character too!
Immortal product! ! ! Nice! ! ! I clicked in by chance, and I thought the introduction was very interesting to my taste, so I stayed. I became addicted after just one look. Don't be dissuaded by the ratings. I think everyone will get at least 9 points later. The heroine is very charming, independent, sober, and powerful, and the girls in this book also have their own highlights. And there aren't that many routines, I think they are all very new descriptions. There are not many emotional lines in the early stage, mainly the description of the heroine gaining a foothold, but the gentleness of the male protagonist is simply the most suitable for our heroine. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I look forward to the author updating it soon!
It looks great, and it's absolutely fine to score 9 or above. I hope bookworms of all ages can discover this work. The writing style is very good, it is not a straightforward prose. The storyline is also very exciting, and every character has his or her own soul. After watching it for two days, it tied. The heroine is really smart, kind, and yet sharp. She has means and abilities, and she has climbed from a concubine to a princess step by step on her own. I really couldn't help but describe the part about her and her mother. Even though her mother was not very kind to her, she could see her mother's hard work and difficulty, and felt sorry that her mother did not enjoy a single day of happiness. [Crying] The male protagonists in the two books I have read recently are very powerful, not the kind of domineering man, I am really tired of reading them. He will not look down on the heroine because of her original identity, nor will he disrespect the heroine because of the disparity in status. When the heroine shines, he is proud of her. Who knows that feeling! Really worth watching, highly recommended!
It can be said that it is very beautiful, both the characters and the plot are very exciting! The character of the male protagonist is strong, able to take charge of things, and he is also pampered and respected. This is great! The heroine is smart and kind, and her girlfriends are also good friends. Everyone has their own growth rhythm, especially the third sister. In the middle, I saw the author's official match for the third sister, and I can feel the author's love for the characters. The descriptions of several big scenes in the middle are too exciting and cannot be spoiled. In short, it is really good to watch. And the villain always has a slight sense of sadness. Author, please update!
Zhen Zhen is a real heroine (crying again in the middle of the night) Author of update reminder [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying]
Very beautiful! What attracted me first was the chapter about Zhen Zhen's painting. The author's writing style is so good! The more I read later, the more I realized that the heroine has a high IQ, high EQ, and a world-wide mind. She opened a medical clinic for disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and she grew up step by step. And the three views are so correct! Finally, there is no bloody plot where two men and three men fall in love and hate each other because they can't get the heroine! The emperor didn't steal his brother's wife just because the heroine looked like his deceased wife! It makes me feel relaxed and happy, and the corners of my mouth are raised😁
It's so good. I haven't read this kind of novel in a long time.
There are so few people for such a good novel. It feels like it must have at least a few thousand comments.
Very nice, very high style It's really beautiful. The writing is neat, the layout is clever, and the strategy is profound. Anyway, everything is good. I can't think of how to praise it. The reason for the low score is that there are very few people who have rated it. The author should not be discouraged [crying] [crying]
