    The one I read recently is a two-strong, cool novel. The female protagonist is smart and wise, and is at the level of a boss. It's super good-looking. The first book has a low rating because it hasn't been updated yet, but it's really good-looking. The female protagonist hides in a boss, has a noble status, and the male protagonist falls. I don't know what happens next. In the second book, the female protagonist works step by step, using the male protagonist to avenge herself. In the process, the male protagonist and the female protagonist both fall, and the female protagonist is doted on by the male protagonist. The third book has a female protagonist who is the daughter of a general and has high martial arts skills. Chao, went to a neighboring country to steal the male protagonist's picture, succeeded in the honey trap, and both fell, side by side with the male protagonist, and finally achieved success; in the fourth book, the female protagonist has a noble status, is favored by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, has superb martial arts, and is unparalleled in wisdom. The male protagonist is A proton from a neighboring country, he is passionately devoted to the heroine and successfully pursues his wife. The heroine has to deal with the reborn concubine and the scumbag father. The hero succeeds in seizing the throne. He uses all his money as a betrothal to marry the heroine as his queen.

On their wedding night, Ning Wanqiao stayed alone in the empty room, while Duan Yunzhou stayed in the Baiyueguang Courtyard day and night. Later, Ning Wanqiao found out that she was the vicious woman who prevented Duan Yunzhou from getting together with Bai Yueguang. She was ignored everywhere in the Hou Mansion and could not live in Madam Hou's main courtyard. Bai Yueguang and his concubines would pop out from time to time to show off that they were favored. Her mother-in-law also made things difficult for her and suppressed her. In this case, Ning Wanqiao should be broken when it is broken, and peace and separation should be proposed. Later, everyone gloated over her misfortune, waiting to see her hit rock bottom and be cast aside.

    The writing style of the first book is particularly delicate, and the heroine is good at martial arts and the hero is very gentle [shy]. The second book is a Machiavellian story that requires careful consideration of the words used. The author is very famous. Another book is also very good. Lin Du's (Cultivation of Immortality). The third book is Gong Dou Wen. The heroine is a villain and can't accept Shen's entry. It's really good to read.

    This is a good-looking book. It is a pure ancient novel. Marriage first, love later, well-matched families. The heroine is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, a century-old family, and the hero is the second son of the Xie family. They get along well with each other. The hero treats the heroine well. What impressed me most is that the hero and heroine built their own houses in the later period. When the heroine gave birth to her second or third child, the hero's mother came late after the heroine gave birth. (Because the male protagonist is the legitimate second son, the male protagonist's mother pays more attention to the eldest son and daughter than the second son and second daughter.) Then the male protagonist was very angry and told his mother about the difference between mother-in-law and mother-in-law, because the mother-in-law should come over when her daughter-in-law gave birth, even if she couldn't do anything to calm people down.
