[One Woman, Two Men] [Male Leads Are Chaste] [Romantic Rivalry] [Strong Female Lead] [Ensemble Cast] [Clear-Headed, Independent Heroine]
Career-driven, hardworking heroine vs.
a sentimental, fragile songstress who inspires instant affection
A cold-faced but warm-hearted, clingy official of the Si Luan Bureau
Zuo Mingxiao, a twenty-first-century genius with a doctorate, transmigrates into a novel and becomes the second daughter of the Right Chancellor of the Xian Dynasty.
Don't panic. It has a happy ending.
Oh no! The plot has completely gone off the rails.
Stay calm. I'll follow my own path and create my own story.
As the days pass, she discovers that the so-called freedom and openness of the Xian Dynasty are nothing but a conspiracy wrapped in a beautiful disguise!
Who knows when it began, but the songstress, so devoted to the theater that it was her whole world, has become lovesick and begs through her tears:
"Zuo Mingxiao, don't abandon me. I have feelings for you. If you don't like me this way, I'll change. I only ask you not to leave me. I can't live without you anymore. You can do anything you want, just don't stop wanting me. Please."
The aloof Lord of the Qinluan Bureau begs to be the stand-in for the woman who was the one he could never forget in his own world:
"Am I not even qualified to be your substitute?"
Mingxiao: How pitiful. I'll give him the nice-guy card.
"You're a good person, not anyone's substitute. Being a substitute denies who you are and disrespects the person you're replacing. You're yourself, unique and irreplaceable. If I ever fall for you, it will be because you're Yan Lingzheng, not because you're someone else's substitute."
The substitute: Oh no, now I'm even more in love.
With sheer grit and perseverance, she sits the imperial examinations, becomes top scholar, and pleads for the people.
She goes to war, applies military strategy with skill, and plans every move with care.
See how Mingxiao gradually tears away the hypocritical masks of those in power, so that the countless women of Great Xian can truly become the protagonists of their own lives.
This is not a wish-fulfillment story. The heroine has to work for it.
It's nice to read, and the heroine's name is nice. So far, it seems that this is a story that respects the heroine, and the author's writing style is also good.
The author's writing is good, and the male protagonist is all my favorite. Please update soon haha
It looks good. The male protagonist seems to have nothing interesting so far. The female protagonist is quite recognizable. Su Huansheng and Zuo Mingxiao both have nice names.
It's quite good to watch. The heroine has a good outlook on life. I'll save up my time to watch it again.
