11 主 My Lord, Are You a Woman? Nan WanxuAncient Romance4.1M WordsCompleted 76.7kReads9.4Score11.6kShelves

Reader note

The first book is very popular, and the ending is written in the outline. You can't help but read it. The second book is about a woman who is the commander of the royal secret guards, and the three kingdoms are afraid of her. The third book holds the economic lifeline of many countries. The fourth book is purely about power and no love. The final version is about a woman who disguises herself as a man. She is not found to be a woman until 400 years after her death when archeology opens. The fifth book is a bit like the very chaotic background of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the feudal princes finally unified the world.

17 【 [The Door Is Full of Blood] the Twin Sisters Return from the Bloodshed Xiao XiaoranziAncient Romance501k WordsOngoing 4.5kReads5.8Score550Shelves

Reader note

Don't be dissuaded by the "torture" in the first few chapters. The middle and later stages of "Blood in the Door" are simply nuclear bomb-level fun! The best thing about this book is the setting of "Twin Flowers". My sister Shen Shu is a sharp knife, and my sister Shen Li is a sword with a hidden edge. The two were separated for eight years due to a "surrogate marriage" conspiracy. When they reunited, one was carrying a blood feud and the other was an abandoned son in the palace. The author is very good at writing "games within games": the prince wants to use the Shen family's military power to stabilize the country, the emperor wants to get rid of the highly successful Shen family, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is even outside the palace walls. Everyone thought that the Shen family was dead, but little did they know that the two sisters had already planted the seeds of revenge in the ruins. The book depicts the ancient power schemes very delicately, with no golden fingers, only a precise grasp of human nature. When the sisters push their enemies step by step into the dead end they set up, the pleasure of "evils will be rewarded" is really much more advanced than a simple slap in the face. Highly recommended to sisters who like "Black Lotus Strategy Manual" but want a more hard-core strategy! 👑🔥

🔥I dug up a very touching ancient-style Machiavellian novel "The House is Full of Blood"! The twin sisters return from the bloodshed, full of revenge! The heroine is by no means silly and sweet, her IQ is online throughout the whole process, and the layout is interlocking. Watch how the two sisters work step by step in the intrigues of the mansion and the court to fight against their enemies. The setting of substitute marriage is even more suspenseful, and the high-energy plot is endless. It is very interesting to watch. It is highly recommended to book friends who love to see the heroine's unparalleled resourcefulness!
