I insisted on reading these books, and they are super good-looking. The second and third books are about the male protagonist having a long-term plan for the female protagonist. The fourth book is about the male and female protagonists who met when they were young. The male protagonist has always doted on the female protagonist as she grew up. The female protagonist in the fifth book was married, and the couple fell in love during the cooperation. The sixth book is also very interesting [Love]

This book is super exciting! [Laughs] The dark, arrogant and beautiful prince male protagonist x the delicate and tolerant female protagonist disguised as a man. [Shy] The heroine is the daughter of an honorable noble. When she was nine years old, her family suffered a disaster. She was rescued by the thirteen-year-old hero (prince) and was brought into the palace to raise her personally. The heroine disguises herself as a man and grows up, becoming an outstanding woman with both civil and military skills. The hero knows that there is nothing she can do, but she still gradually becomes moved in the repression, gradually sinks in sobriety, and starts to flirt with the heroine. The heroine goes from being ignorant to gradually enlightening, and the ambiguous period is super beautiful [almost crying] [licking the screen]. The two develop from brother and sister, master and servant to a two-way secret love, and finally become lovers and solid political allies, and jointly build a kingdom. The plot is compact, sweet and sad, in short, highly recommended! [Laughing out loud]

Kong Liu's first novel is still beautifully written and the whole article has a comfortable atmosphere. There is no such thing as Bai Lian's mistress in the whole book, only the feelings of family and country. The second book is purely delayed by the title. The heroine is a pure ancient, with extremely high IQ and EQ. The male protagonist is also very sober, and the characters in the book are also very distinct. Worth a look

These few books are really unflattering. In the first one, the male protagonist is the prime minister, has power over the government and the public, and has been plotting against the female protagonist for a long time. The heroine is the ninth princess, and her mother is a noble concubine. For the heroine, it is marriage first and love later. The love between the two is relatively plain and not particularly eye-catching, but the couple is very sweet. Although the heroine looks honest and delicate, she is also very independent. The two protagonists in the second book are both generals, and they have feelings for their family and country. The third book is a more imaginative one. The male protagonist is a prince, the female protagonist is a "ghost exorcist", and she has a past life relationship. It's not a loss to invest in these three books

Each of these books is super beautiful, and they are all written by indigenous people. ❤️In the first book, the male protagonist has been secretly in love with the female protagonist for ten years. During these ten years, he has exerted all his power just to be with her. The female protagonist is a princess and her mother is a noble concubine. The female protagonist has a very clear understanding of herself. She is not smart and never looks for trouble.

The female protagonist is a delicate and soft little princess. She is arrogant but understands the overall situation.

In the first book, the male protagonist has always doted on the female protagonist. The female protagonist was a concubine at the beginning, and her attitude towards the male protagonist has not changed from the beginning to the end, no matter whether the male protagonist is a prince or an emperor. The heroine would never take the initiative to harm others. On the contrary, she would live in peace with her main wife. Later, she gave birth to the tenth prince and called her son ten eggs. The relationship with the children was also very warm, and the final ending was quite satisfactory. In the second book, the female protagonist is the second daughter of the Cui family, and the male protagonist is the third son of Duke Ningguo. They met when they were young, but they never met again due to the etiquette that men and women were not seated at the same table when they were seven years old. The female protagonist chose the male protagonist as her marriage partner from the portrait. After their marriage, their relationship slowly developed, and they had three children in total. The children were smart. The heroine has lived a happy life since she was a child, and her parents love her at home. There are many couples in it, you can read it slowly. In the third book, the heroine is ordered by her family to marry the disabled prince in place of her sister. The heroine is very sober and can live in harmony with the prince from the beginning. There is basically no misunderstanding between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and they quickly determine their feelings. There is a female supporting character acting like a monster, but the heroine doesn't care at all. The baby of the heroine and the hero is very cute, and the prince and princess in the novel are also very pitiful. In the extra story, they adopted a girl and lived a happy life. In the fourth book, a weak concubine is about to marry a seriously ill prince. The female protagonist learns medical skills and cures the male protagonist. The male and female protagonists will clearly explain the misunderstandings and quickly confirm their feelings. The male protagonist will protect his shortcomings and teach his wife to curse. The male protagonist is arrogant but talks a lot, which is a bit funny. The baby of the hero and heroine is very cute and smart. The relationship between the hero and heroine and the baby is also very warm. There is still a lot of extra content. There is content in the extra story about the male and female protagonists getting to know each other early and falling in love. In the fifth book, the male protagonist is the heir apparent, and the female protagonist is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace. They get married at the beginning. After the marriage, the male and female protagonists treat each other with respect and respect, and gradually fall in love with each other. The male protagonist has a mystery of his life experience, and in the end they become a pair for life.

These books are all ancient, with different basic types, and the author's writing style is better. If you really want to see something like the Grand View Garden in ancient times, just read the last one. The descriptions in it are a bit similar to Dream of Red Mansions. It just requires a little patience. The male protagonist appears, probably around chapter 110, but the second male lead is really heartbreaking to watch. I really want the second male lead to become the male lead, but he can't do it in this novel. The heroine married the second male lead's eldest brother at the age of 12, and six years later, he returned with his true love. The second male protagonist likes the female protagonist, but the female protagonist once told him to be a gentleman, so the second male protagonist never let the female protagonist know that he likes her until his death. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is also hilarious. I would call him one of the most miserable male protagonists in history. In other novels, he is miserable in front of others and strong in others. This male protagonist is really miserable, miserable in front of others, and even worse behind others.
