   The most proud work of the Queen of Abuse‼ ️Everyone is TOP level! It's very beautiful, with intelligence and logic, and it's so cruel that it hurts my heart and makes me burst into tears💧! It's not a malicious abuse of women. The heroine is charming, sober and sensible. In the end, she achieves both fame and wealth, and has a lot of power, but she looks more sadistic and feels like something is missing😭 1: House fight + palace fight🩷 It's a bit tear-jerking, similar to the feeling of loss that ends without a problem😭 My Bai Yueguang female supporting role, she did nothing wrong, it's hard to let go😭 The daughter of an emerald merchant met a poor prince who was living among the people, but there was no spark of love until they were fighting assassins with swords in a ruined temple. She fell in love with him, but he fell in love with another extremely weak woman. By chance, a powerful minister helped him to the throne. 👑🍅 He doesn't love her, but he respects her and needs her wisdom to help him deal with the powerful ministers and the imperial power. She also coexists peacefully with his lover. She loves him, so she loves him in a way that the male protagonist likes. 😍🍅 In the end, it turned out to be the weak woman who protected the heroine with her own life until the end. 😊 After reading it, you will feel disappointed. It is a rare story where the male and female protagonists do not fall in love, but they need to use each other. There is no female rivalry and great stamina. 2: Machiavellian Palace Fight❤️ The heroine of Black Lotus was born as a slave, but she has the face of a phoenix. The mistress of the house not only did not kill her, but also spent a lot of money to train her and build her reputation, and successfully sent her to the palace. The young emperor of the hero really fell in love with her at first sight💘He made the heroine a queen on the spot👑 In order to protect the secret of her life and power, she has been planning to use external forces to overthrow the enemies who stand in her way, and is about to kill her harem. However, the male protagonist, the emperor, loves her to the core, but he cannot bear to punish her, and cannot even ignore her at all. 😍 The most magical thing is the final confession. The emperor has long known that the heroine was originally a slave, and he also knew that she was ruthless and murderous, but he was only glad that he was an emperor and could help her, but he also really wanted to be protected by her at all costs. 😭Super easy to cry 3: A spiritual work with thoughts and feelings about family and country, very deep, with quite upright views, and a very high-end female channel story, which was really amazing‼ ️Two strong sapiosexuals, I will never forget it after watching it for a long time ✌️🏆 The male protagonist is a high-spirited young general. However, in troubled times, he has to hide his identity, but the enthusiasm in his heart has not changed❤️ In the end, the male protagonist regained his identity as a young commander and rushed to the battlefield, but never came back. The mother of the heroine is the richest socialite. She is the most rebellious daughter. She beats people when there is injustice. Until her mother is assassinated for protecting cultural relics and delivering supplies to the front line. She has a positive outlook on life and grows up overnight. While studying abroad to explore the truth about her mother's death, she meets the patriotic young male protagonist who was sponsored by her mother. Their acquaintance is like a destiny in their blood, and they embark on the road of protecting the family and the country together. The emotional line is super easy✌️

    I finally found a book on Tomato Bookstore that I couldn't put down even if I stayed up all night!!! It's sooooo good! A 9.4 Rating, it's incredibly addictive! The plot is rich and varied, with moments of intense "wife-torture" followed by a grueling "wife-chasing" saga! Bookworms, get ready to binge-read!!!

    Hi everyone, I'd like to recommend this book. It's a bit angsty at the beginning, but if you're interested in Tang Dynasty and martial arts stories, you might want to check it out. It features two female leads with minimal romance at the start; the focus is on solving cases. There are multiple couples, and it's more of an ensemble piece. The two main female leads are a traumatized, icy protagonist and a persistently pursuing, sunny one.
