    The first book was a complete disappointment because of its title; it's truly amazing! My favorite male lead right now is Shen Yi. His line, "A Qian, I've always been waiting for you," is incredibly moving. Shen Yi spends his entire life waiting for the female lead, so devoted and deeply affectionate. Thankfully, it has a happy ending. The second book features He Tingzhou, whose character is so funny I'm afraid he might poison himself if he licks his lips, but he's incredibly funny and has a knack for witty comebacks. The third book features Xie Zhiyu, and the fourth features Sheng Ting, both fatherly boyfriend types who are also very endearing. These four books are worth reading repeatedly; the writing is excellent, no wonder they're highly rated. The male leads have different personalities, but that doesn't stop me from liking them all, haha!

    "Do you miss your mother?" "Yes." "Liar! You've never even seen her. What do you miss about her?" Qi Yuanzu raised his face, his plump cheeks more lustrous than pearls, a product of Emperor Qi's care. He earnestly argued with the Empress Dowager, "I wonder what Mother looks like, whether she's cold. I'm grown up now, I know everything. I know Mother died because of me." "Would she like me now?" "Father said chubby children are the most beloved by adults. I eat well every day, I'm round and plump, Mother will definitely love me!" "I love her too, I'll miss her for the rest of my life." The eldest prince stood up dizzily, forgetting the year. The Crown Prince was very shrewd; he had experienced it many times. The Crown Prince's methods were so powerful that, in front of the entire court, with a mere wave of his hand, he and his brothers, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, instinctively covered their faces. They were slapped. The Crown Prince loved to slap people in the face; everyone in the Great Qi knew it, and people had no choice but to endure it. The brothers were too wild, and the Crown Prince always liked to use grand principles to control them, establishing several rules that could not be violated. Things like paying for ruined businesses, not embezzling funds meant for national disasters, and not implicating women in cases of framing… They were self-righteous and considered themselves the masters! In the early stages, the Crown Prince was too dazzling, putting them in a state of despair, making them truly willing to be beaten, punished, and scolded for their mistakes. He was the Crown Prince, and also the elder brother of all the princes. Everyone took it for granted, even he, in his rage, still copied stacks of the "Crown Prince's Rules" and was slapped time and time again. Being slapped was commonplace. "Father only has Tun'er left..." The little prince wrapped his arms around his neck, mumbling indistinctly, "Father, don't be afraid, I'll protect you." He placed the grass beads he was clutching on Emperor Qi's hand. "Father, wear this. If you're bullied and too embarrassed to say anything, just secretly pick one and throw it away." "If Zuo'er sees one missing, he'll help Father beat up the bad guys." The little prince reliably comforted Emperor Qi: "When Father grows up, he can cry too, and he can ask Zuo'er to help him get revenge, just like I ask Father when I'm bullied. It's not shameful." The grass beads in his hand were ugly; every two beads on the string had a bead drawn across the gap. If one was missing, it would be easy to see, and Emperor Qi immediately understood that this was meant for him to 'secretly throw away.' The string of beads was mismatched, the beads were uneven in height, and it didn't match the magnificent dragon robe. The materials used were haphazard. But coupled with these earnest, childlike words, it warmed Emperor Qi's heart. Emperor Qi burst into laughter through his tears, touching the beads and then his son's head, overwhelmed with affection. He felt it was a precious gift from heaven. The fat eunuch quickly chimed in, trying to cheer the emperor up: "Your Majesty, the young master strung these himself. It took him quite a while. This servant was wondering why and wanted to help, but Your Highness wouldn't allow it." "Oh, so this is a gift from the young prince to Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi checked his son's hands: "These beads are difficult to string. Did you string them yourself? Did you use a needle? Does your hand hurt?" Qi Yuanzuo chose the easier beads and threaded them with a needle, shaking his head without much effort. The little prince and Emperor Qi made a pinky promise. The infant, barely taller than a table, made a grand vow: "Zuo'er will protect Father Emperor for life." Having finally decided to follow him, he eagerly awaited his growth, imagining what he would look like when he grew up—a prince of unparalleled beauty and talent, the crown prince of Chang'an! The Great Qi War God who, when wooed by the Xiongnu with a hairpin, laughed as he brutally beat up the Xiongnu royal court! He should be the most noble person in the world, renowned and admired by thousands, upright and virtuous, born in a prosperous era, continuing that prosperous era, leaving his name in the prosperous era, immortal for all time! These filthy things, do they even deserve to be tainted by him?! "The view from the top is beautiful, your subject likes it." These words made Emperor Qi pause slightly, and his expression softened even more. "There's someone who also loves the view from high places." "Didn't you say you wanted to learn martial arts? I'll introduce you to a master, do you want one?" Qi Yuanzuo's eyes lit up: "Can I learn now?" Emperor Qi smiled: "You can only learn after you turn six. First, we'll establish a relationship, and after a few years, you'll like him." "Who is he?" "He's a good friend of Father's, you've met him, his name is Su Changhuai." "He's different from others. If you behave well and anger him, he'll punish you, and I won't plead for you." The little prince exclaimed in surprise, "Will he spank me?" "Yes! He'll also spank your hand. I'll tell him this time you've been naughty and he'll give you a stern talking-to!" The little prince gave him a kiss, then asked sweetly, "Father, am I cute?" Emperor Qi: "Why are you asking that?" The little prince persisted: "Am I cute?" "Cute." The little prince pressed on, asking, "Then how can you bear to speak ill of me to others?" "Once I learn martial arts, I'll leap across your rooftop every day and make you worry like an old man." Under the sunlight, the oxen mooed, the cranes groomed their fur, the raccoon licked its paws, and Emperor Qi's eyebrows relaxed and his laughter was cheerful.
