Hey~ Gentle and courteous, dry gold VS General who is too blunt and frank. Because the emperor granted marriage to the male and female protagonists, they marry first and then fall in love. The male protagonist knows that his wife comes from a scholarly family and is very polite. So I respect her very much, and the heroine takes charge of everything in the family. The short, heart-warming and long-running male protagonist is a self-strategist and very careful, and both the male and female protagonists have their own little ideas. There is no cruelty or vicious female supporting role. The male protagonist is a cold-faced general, but he is still an innocent boy. Although his face is cold, he can also blush shyly because of the female protagonist's every move, frown and smile. Qing Huanci🥰

Classic old-school fighting novel [Shy] The heroine was originally the empress dowager who had controlled the government for more than ten years. She was sent away by her grandson with a glass of poisonous wine. Now she is reborn and does not enter the harem to be a widow for another man, but she is jealous of the male protagonist. [Like] [Like] When Shao Yunlang woke up, the first thing she felt was cold, biting cold. She curled up subconsciously and wrapped the quilt tightly, thinking: They say that hell is cold, and it is really so. Based on what she did during her lifetime, she deserved everything after her death. It was normal for her to be reborn as an animal in the next life, but she was still a little unwilling to do so. The grandson she had worked so hard to bring up actually deliberately planned to kill her. He was really capable of this! The poisonous wine was so painful that her grandson watched her rolling on the ground and bleeding to death. She was the one who cared about her makeup and appearance the most, even if she was given a white silk ribbon. No, no, no, I heard that the female ghosts who were hanged had long tongues, so they must be very ugly. Can't we give her a decent way to die? If she had known that she would not die well, why would she try her best to support him in his rise to power? Shao Yunlang opened her eyes, and everything was dark. She slowly sat up... She was reborn [love] [love]
