   🍰🍰Honey, I recently stumbled upon an absolutely amazing romance novel! The male lead is ruthless and cold-blooded, his aura is off the charts when he's forcefully taking what he wants 😍 The female lead is soft, cute, and a bit of a crybaby, always getting teary-eyed when she's bullied, it really tugs at my heartstrings! The male lead is the kind of "normal" guy in romance novels—quick, accurate, and ruthless, no dragging things out, and there's absolutely no "wife-chasing-after-the-cry" scenario! This novel is so addictive, I can't believe anyone hasn't read it yet!

Wei Qing was the knife, Zhu Fu Yan was the strategy, and the Edict of Grace was the first open conspiracy in history—in the end, all the chess pieces in the court were wiped out, leaving only one black piece in his palm. Zhu Yuanzhang started with a bowl, rising from monk to emperor, fighting Chen Youliang, destroying Zhang Shicheng, and launching the Northern Expedition against the Mongol Yuan. Even after securing his throne, he couldn't sleep at night, killing meritorious officials, abolishing the prime minister, and establishing the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
