Reader note

Machiavellian schemes. An accidental misunderstanding made Ning Zechen despise the woman in front of him. Qing Huan, who clearly felt that the prince was his perfect match, had no choice but to accept the marriage. The humiliation on the wedding night, the frame-up by Green Tea's concubine, and the suppression by the queen. For herself and her family, Qing Huan refused to accept her fate. Her calmness, her strategy, her courage and kindness made the murderer Ning Zechen see a different Qing Huan. The two experienced unjust cases one after another, and as they peeled off the cocoons, they seemed to see each other differently. The two experienced the edge of life and death together, as if fate was binding them together. . . It's just that reality is always full of surprises. If you can't be a couple, then let's become allies! Without love, would there be no harm?

Reader note

In ancient Machiavellian novels, the two strong men and the relationship between the male and female protagonists are the connecting hub throughout the whole text, but a lot of words are still about the Machiavellian plot, the story of family, country and world. The plot is compact. If you like Baozi, you can pay attention to it. In troubled times, Yan Xi, the female monarch of Yan State, took the initiative to seek an alliance with Jin Mian, the king of Jin State, in order to protect the country. She came for an alliance, but he asked her to betroth her with her body. His frivolous words, "The marriage has not yet been consummated, the engagement can be annulled," forcing her to give up her childhood sweetheart's engagement and guarantee a permanent alliance through marriage between the two kings. When the Yan Kingdom collapsed due to civil strife and the alliance became a void treaty, she forged the new life of the Zhao Kingdom with blood and fire, cut off the shackles of marriage, and vowed not to be a vassal of others. From husband and wife to strangers, from allies testing each other to rivals in a game of chess. Staying with you, relying on you, until the day when the iron cavalry rides through the Central Plains, the world will be shocked - it turns out that the sharpest sword is never a single sword

Reader note

The characterization is exemplary. The portrayal of the protagonist Sima Yi is extremely successful. It completely shows his transformation trajectory from a young man in Hanoi to an "old thief in Luoshui", and its complexity, contradiction and tragedy are vividly displayed on the page. His machinations, forbearance, coldness, and the remaining painful struggles deep in his heart (such as for Qiu He, Jiang Ji, and Zhang Chunhua) form a huge tension, making this character both awe-inspiring and sighing. The portraits are vivid, including Cao Cao's heroic guessing, Zhuge Liang's tragedy, Cao Pi's gloom, Cao Mao's determination, Jiang Wei's loneliness, Zhong Hui's arrogance, Deng Ai's perseverance, even Jiang Ji's grief and indignation, Xia Houxuan's calmness... Many historical figures have distinctive personalities, each with its own spiritual core and destiny arc, which together form a magnificent picture of the times.

Reader note

I must have these three books. The first one is about the brave and scheming fortune teller and the paranoid and cold third prince. Song Xuanzhen, I love him to death, but I am really afraid of Ji Yunxi's perverted possessiveness. The second book is about the loyal general Erque and the shady Ming Ming who flirts with the emperor. Although our family Gu Fang is not very smart (actually he is quite scheming), Jun Ruohan has brains and complement each other. The third book There is a very clever painter who risks his life and a mixed-race general who is gloomy and a little perverted. The painter is really super smart. I couldn't understand some of the games that the author analyzed for me. This book is a bit slow.
