    [Must-Read for Bookworms] I stayed up all night to finish this! A sweet romance set in the Northern Song Dynasty, combining transmigration, suspense, and a minor constable's rise to power! This novel, written by a "Deputy Minister of the Court of Judicial Review," uses a basket of meat buns to pamper the minor constable who flirted with him, turning him into a princess! It's so addictive!!! "The Charming Young Master is as Delicate as Cream"—a masterpiece that makes even the stern-faced Yama "pay for his wife," so sweet you'll scream and pound your bed in the middle of the night! 📖 The story begins with a drunken flirtation: On her first day transmigrating into the book, the minor constable Shen Su pinched a handsome man's chin at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and asked, "How much for a night?" The next day, when they met in court, she discovered that the "pay-for-hire man" she had flirted with was actually the legendary, woman-averse Yama of the Court of Judicial Review. She thought she was doomed. But that very night, the door to the woodshed opened—he held a steaming bowl of meat buns, smiling like a fox: "Call me 'good brother,' and these buns are yours." From then on, her life completely went astray. What was supposed to be an investigation turned into being fed every day; the promised three-month trial period turned into "This official has taken a liking to you, seriously." It wasn't until a jade pendant engraved with the character "Ning" was unearthed that she realized—she wasn't just a transmigrator, but also a princess sent away from the palace fifteen years ago. 🔥 Why is this book so addictive? ❶ A groundbreaking "anti-cliché sweet romance" genre! Not a domineering CEO forcing a marriage, not a naive heroine's comeback, but a ruthless ruler chasing after his wife with steamed buns! "This official is offering himself up," "Investigating the case is official business, investigating you is private business," "Call me 'good brother'"—every chapter contains a love quote, every sentence is screenshottable and ready to be shared with your best friends! ❷ Packed with memorable scenes, so sweet it'll leave you breathless! Feeding her in the woodshed, protecting her at the Hongmen Banquet, a counterattack in the Imperial Garden, twelve letters from her mother's last testament, kowtowing at Consort Ning's tomb and calling her "mother-in-law," "From now on, I'll call you husband" on their wedding night… every chapter has something to make you scream! Sweet with a touch of angst, and even sweeter after the angst, an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish! ❸ The growth story of the young constable is so moving it'll bring tears to your eyes! Shen Su transforms from a timid constable into Princess Ning'an, who dares to confront the Empress Dowager head-on. She doesn't have any special abilities, only Lu Run's words, "No matter who you are, I want you." This kind of "even if it means going against the world, I will protect you" kind of favoritism is truly heart-wrenching! 📚 If you're tired of artificial sweetness and the same old stand-in novels, try "The Romantic Young Master Run Ru Su"! The Northern Song Dynasty setting is based on historical research (Dali Temple, Kaifeng Prefecture, Imperial Mausoleum Regulations), the transmigration plot is mind-bending, and the sweetness level is off the charts—a perfect bedtime read! 👉 I've already added it to my bookshelf, no more talk, let's go! Tonight, let Lord Lu knock you out with meat buns!! [Flying kiss]

    I absolutely adore the female lead's character. Having experienced betrayal in the modern business world, she's reborn with a clear and insightful mind. She doesn't believe in fleeting emotions and prioritizes self-preservation and making money above all else. Despite the young male lead's advances, she remains vigilant, seeing through his facade but not easily exposing him, secretly gathering intelligence while working alongside him. She doesn't compromise with romantic notions; career and survival always come before love, making her a truly independent woman.

    A thrilling ancient Chinese romance novel! The female protagonist's start is incredibly tragic. She transmigrates into the body of a foolish woman and is forced into marriage with a domineering regent who is believed to bring misfortune to his wives. Everyone thinks she's doomed. But she's determined to defy fate, feigning weakness to outmaneuver her enemies and mercilessly crush them. From disfiguring herself with a golden hairpin to cutting her mourning clothes with scissors, to pouring her ashes into her enemies' mouths—every action is incredibly satisfying. And the regent, rumored to be ruthless, falls head over heels for her, doting on her, protecting her, and indulging her every whim. The ridicule of the entire capital turns into envy. This contrasting sweetness is absolutely amazing!
