Reader note

①This is the best period novel I have ever read, and I like it best among the male protagonists who are military officers. Why do you say this? Because I have another favorite period novel, which is comparable to this one, but the female protagonist in that book is an educated youth, and the male protagonist is a bad member of a landlord's family. I love them both so much, so I distinguish them by whether the male protagonist is a soldier or not. The other non-soldier is all about daily love sweet cookies] I always hope that the female protagonist will be strong and smart, and be deeply loved by the love-minded male protagonist. In fact, love is my most important xp, but I don't want the female protagonist to be weak and bullied by others. Because to be honest, more than 98% of the current literature, alas, the heroines are easily bullied, and they are wrongly accused of making pornographic rumors and so on. I am really angry, and they are given some painless punishment. Some authors always like to use the best relatives and the best female supporting characters to reduce the word count of the plot. It is really rare to encounter a novel that is to my liking in the whole book. I like to read this kind of novel that is neither long nor short, because many authors who write well will always write very poorly in the later period. The plot fell apart and was disgusting. I was super satisfied with this one. The heroine's approach to the top family members is to beat them until they are submissive. She is afraid that they will never dare to commit crimes again. Even if she gets bolder later, she can use your previous intimidation to suppress them again with thunderous means. Really strong, with both civil and military skills, he can dominate the country, a high IQ is even better, a thoughtful mind, and his force is worthy of leverage. There are many 🚗, and the two of them are really good at flirting! Teacher play, sir play, the male protagonist is a little wolf-dog on the surface, but in fact he is extremely innocent, um, a little wolf-dog, although he will fight back as he progresses later, he is actually very good, but he often feels inferior to her and feels that he is not worthy of her. I can only say that inferiority is a man's best dowry, it's cool! The heroine is also very good at coaxing him. Oh, just pamper him. He makes me feel physically and mentally comfortable. Xiao Jiang, who has been coaxed, is not arrogant. He still puts the heroine first in everything, and Tiantian is very at ease. The only drawback of this book is that the heroine adopted the two children of the best brother, but did not transfer them to her own household registration. For the sake of her own children, she was afraid that the family property would be divided later. Seeing this arrangement, my dissatisfaction was reduced a lot, which is not bad. It can be seen from the author's writing that he is a very cultured and knowledgeable person. Many professional things are written in detail, especially the way the heroine speaks. It can be seen that the author has a super high emotional intelligence. Oh my god! Finished reading at 3:35 am on August 15, 2026 ② This book is so warmly written. I saw a post on Douyin before, asking: Are there any period novels in which the male protagonist is not an officer? The following comment is from you, aren't you looking for trouble? Hahahahaha, this is the best period article I have ever read, yes, it's new today! It was sweet from the beginning to the end, and it was very heartwarming. There was no bad writing in the middle or at the end, and it didn't make the young couple have any conflicts. I'm really satisfied! Very sweet, very sweet, I like her very much. Wanwan is really kind and gentle. Lu Yunye's words are also excellent. His preference for the heroine is unique. He loves her the most and only loves her, a loyal dog. Moreover, low self-esteem is a man's best dowry! Ending of Spreading Flowers, 1:11 am on September 11, 2026 [The above is the time when I wrote the book review, I copied the whole paragraph directly, it is really beautiful] To be honest, it is really not easy to find two books that are completely to my liking. They are super, super good-looking! 2026.8.15 3:41 Am
