    The heroine is a charming and willful daughter of a family who cultivates immortality. When the male protagonist becomes the commander of the demon clan, the first one to be destroyed is the female protagonist's family. But when they first met, they never imagined that this young man with a smile on his lips and handsome features would be the biggest villain. The heroine is still complacent about being able to use him to get out of the arranged marriage. She never imagined that it would be the beginning of her lifelong nightmare.

    This book is different from ordinary time travel novels. Although the heroine has traveled through time, she has never used modern knowledge. She has been working hard to maintain the relationship with the male protagonist (the male protagonist is unclean, and it is not 1v1. Don't mind reading it). The whole process is super sweet, and the female protagonist is also attacking the male protagonist little by little. In the heart of the master, there are many processes where I can feel that the heroine has a super high emotional intelligence. From concubine to concubine to imperial concubine, the heroine is awesome. In the latest update, she starts to abuse the male protagonist (I really like this setting, and I don't like to watch women being tortured). It's really beautiful! Everyone go and see it!!!!!!

    ~The daily life at home is full of warmth and warmth, occasionally mixed with a little intrigue, super sweet little pet articles, and group pet articles. Shuangjie, he, the background is very empty! Rebirth article! Not a perfect character! Sweet pet article! The regent loves his wife like crazy! Princess Mingyue's doting husband is crazy! In this micro-group article, my parents also had sweets to eat, and almost all of them are good people! The heroine who is a bit stupid and extremely beautiful "just needs to move her mouth and someone will clear all the obstacles for her" and the male protagonist who is a bit dank and powerful "has a crush on the heroine and will have low self-esteem and will turn into a big wolf dog when they get together." The contrast is superb. He looks self-possessed and polite, but in fact he is a stingy and dank ghost who can get jealous! On the wedding day, eight large sedan chairs carried Wen Ruan into the Regent's Palace. People all over Chang'an City were guessing behind their backs how soon the Regent Princess would be killed by the Regent. The moment the red hijab was lifted, Wen Ruan met a pair of scarlet eyes burning with crazy possessiveness. Shen Ye held her tightly in his arms and said in a hoarse and hot voice, "Ruanruan is finally mine." Later, the prince knelt in front of the Regent's Palace and cried bitterly, begging Wenruan to change his mind, saying that he knew he was wrong. However, Shen Ye pressed Wen Ruan on the chair, kissed her, and whispered in her ear: "Don't listen to Ruan Ruan, don't look at whether he is good or not." In the last life, Shen Ye fell in love with Wen Ruan all his life, and finally died for Wen Ruan. "I'm here to find you, Ruanruan." Wenruan: What should I do to make the regent make his love for me public? Shen Ye: You don't have to do anything Ruanruan, just stick your fingers and I'll do it myself!
