101 Buddhist Loser: Prince, Stop Pretending Xinxin CottageAncient Romance427k WordsCompleted 1Reads5.8Score—Shelves
Reader note
1. Buddhist loser: Prince, stop pretending. Shen Zhaoning, the eldest daughter of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, is a well-known "waste" in the capital. He eats fast and chants Buddha's name all day long, and everything goes as he pleases. He even doesn't bother to talk back when his concubine is ridiculed in public. No one knows that she has been pretending to be stupid for thirteen years just to survive to adulthood in the cannibalistic Hou Mansion. Wu Yu, the sixth son of the emperor, was known as the "Sick King". He spends all day wandering around the flower streets, fighting cocks and lackeys, and the courtiers say he is a disgrace to the royal family. No one knows that he secretly controls Tianji Pavilion, and every fallen leaf in Tianqu City cannot escape his sight. An imperial edict bound the two "waste"s together. The whole capital was waiting to see the joke. On the wedding night, the prince sent a "congratulatory gift" - a glass of poisonous wine. The concubine buried a hidden stake in the house. The stepmother waited for her to run back to her parents' house crying. Shen Zhaoning picked up the wine glass and smiled: "Let it go." The next day, the prince's beloved concubine died suddenly, the scandal of the concubine's affair with her foreign husband spread throughout the world, and the stepmother's hidden stump was uprooted. "Sick Yangzi" The prince hugged her: "Madam, do you want me to take advantage of fate?" The good-for-nothing legitimate daughter smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you are pretending to be sick." Later, the court was purged, the prince was deposed, and King Yu ascended the throne. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, hundreds of officials knelt to greet him and all the people cheered. But the new queen was eating grapes at the back of the palace: "It has nothing to do with me, I'm just a loser." The emperor was helpless: "Queen, it's time to go to court." "Let it go."

Take a look at these... ❶It's a pity that the female protagonist fell in love with the male protagonist, but the male protagonist didn't understand and didn't dare to love. The male protagonist was too concerned about past relationships and ignored the present. It's a pity. ❷Emm, although I haven't finished reading it yet, I think this book is very good. Of course, I also know that I can't finish it🌚🌚🌚 ❸Since it is a novel, I still hope that the history is different from the book. Can't Huang Taiji be deeply in love with Dayu'er?

In the late Sui and Tang Dynasties, heroes competed for hegemony, fighting wits, courage and ruthlessness; Emperor Zhenguan and the young couple supported each other and strived for a peaceful and prosperous age for the people of the world. It is adapted from history, not a historical fiction. There is power, there is war, there is great justice. It comprehensively restores the scenes of Li Shimin's four major battles and how Li Shimin, a top hunter in front of the Xuanwu Gate, lured eight hundred scheming brothers and cunning father into his own circle to snipe at the fastest speed. Some descriptions are rather gory.
