    Sisters, I really can't help but shout out – this ancient romance novel is so addictive!! The male lead isn't the kind of cool and arrogant prince who comes out strong; he's a seemingly weak, even limping, "useless prince." He doesn't fight back when people beat him during the day, but at night he crushes people's throats. Who can resist this kind of seemingly innocent by day and crazy by nightly yandere? The female lead is the fourth young lady of a general's mansion. She's a transmigrator who lost her memory, forgetting she was ever married and who he was. So, she begins: pretending to be weak, being jealous, and secretly taking care of everyone who bullied her. You think this is a strong female lead novel? No, this is an extreme double time-travel plot where "my husband seems sickly on the surface, but is actually a crazy tycoon," complete with the ancient treasure Qinglan Scroll. The bracelet on the female lead's wrist is something everyone's fighting over. There's violence and sweetness, the villains are intelligent, and the male lead isn't just a talkative yandere—he's a real killer. And the scar on his palm represents not being able to hold her hand, but also all the swords his sisters shielded for her. This kind of "I'll fight my way through the imperial city for you, and you'll take all the swords for me" kind of love is truly captivating. It's the kind of story that will make you want to scream after watching it... —Xiao Yanmo, you're amazing!
