Name: The Sickly Big Bad Fell in Love?
Author: A Passing Guest in the Flow of Time

Synopsis

Fu Yechen, the crown prince of the capital, is a sickly man everyone thinks will die before thirty. One cough from him is enough to make the entire business world tremble. No one knows that the bones crushed beneath his wheelchair outnumber the contracts he has signed.

Three years ago, he found and took in a mute country girl at the scene of a massacre that wiped out her entire family...

Then, on a night of torrential rain, Fu Yechen pinned her against the wall. “Baby, haven’t you grown tired of pretending to be mute for three years?”

Jiang Li finally spoke. Her voice was hoarse, but hatred blazed in her eyes. “Fu Yechen, it’s time you paid for killing my entire family.”

She had come from the depths of the mountains carrying the burden of 137 lives. For three years she lay in wait, measuring out his poison to the milligram and setting a deadly business battle in motion, each trap linked to the next. She had even calculated the exact moment he would breathe his last. But she had not expected this ruthless villain to drain the poisoned wine in one gulp and smile at her. “I’ll give you the life you want. But you’re coming to the grave with me.”

Even less did she expect that, when the true mastermind behind the massacre came to light, when she ventured into a shipwreck in international waters with a seven-month pregnancy to find an antidote, and when she personally uncovered a shocking secret capable of overturning a century of power in the capital, the man who should have hated her to the bone would stand before her, covered in blood, and use his last breath to say, “I’ve fallen for you, so just try dying on me!”

And deep inside the ancestral hall of the Fu family, a wall sealed away for forty years was slowly cracking open. Behind it lay a truth that 137 lives could not buy, a ghost that had lived for a century, and the impending downfall of an entire city.

It's really super super super super super exciting! The confrontation between the male and female protagonists is full of calculations and sincerity! Much better than ordinary sweet novels, this one is really my favorite. Looking forward to the following plot, the male protagonist and female protagonist are really charming!

The characters of the male and female protagonists are really incompatible with each other. They each have a deep hatred for each other. They are prey to each other and their only confidants. They have no idea of love. The heartbeat and murderous intention exist simultaneously, which is really tense. At the same time, the plot has many twists and turns. I really like the foreshadowing written by the author. If you like this kind of subject, you can really watch it.

The author's foreshadowing is really good, and every detail feels echoed. The old scars on the heroine's hand, the tablets in the ancestral hall, and the old photos of the two families who were friends 20 years ago are really good details. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is also really good. I like the mutual testing between the male and female protagonists. It's so good-looking. You must watch it.

After reading the first nine chapters, I was completely impressed by the tension of the characters in this book. The author is very good at creating extremely contradictory male and female protagonists. Jiang Li was 16 years old and witnessed the tragic death of his entire family. It was really not easy to gain a chance of survival by pretending to be mute. The heroine is so heart-wrenching, so beautiful and powerful!

To be honest, this powerful combination is not too impressive. I really like the author's writing style. It's so exciting!! It's so lovable. Moreover, the background of the Republic of China is also well written and very real!! If you like this kind of subject matter, don't miss this book

The author's writing style is really delicate, and the cold writing style of the Republic of China is quite immersive, and the visuals are particularly well written. The famous scene of the confrontation between the heroine and the hero is particularly atmospheric. I really love the author's portrayal of human nature, there are no black and white characters! Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking!

There are few novels that can interpret "falling in love and killing each other" so touchingly! There is neither pure love nor pure hatred between the two people. Love is based on hatred, and hatred is constantly loosened by mutual empathy. This complex emotional portrayal is extremely tense. Please keep writing, I love reading it.

The two-way revenge story is really good to read, and the author is very good at writing foreshadowing and suspense. The foreshadowing is also well written. The male and female protagonists develop complex emotions in the day-to-day trials, games, hurts and soft-heartedness. So touching!! The emotional line is particularly tugging 👍👍👍👍

It's much better than expected. The author's writing style is really good! Very immersive! There are so many foreshadowings, this is the most intense male and female protagonist I have seen in recent times.
