    I stayed up all night to finish this book, and I was completely captivated by the male lead! She calls him "Uncle," and he protects her as she grows up! The female lead, Gu Xixi, lost both her parents at the age of six and accidentally stumbled upon the male lead's secret, almost getting strangled by him! This man, cold to the bone, adopted Gu Xixi during her most difficult time. Although he was somewhat strict with her, teaching her to take care of herself, and often making her cry with his sharp tongue, as she later told her best friend: he was there for her whenever she needed him! The male lead is always sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. He tells her not to cry, but then buys her candy, remembers the steamed buns she wants, steals her amulet, gives her a puppy, avenges her, and saves her time and time again… What could he do? From an unloved illegitimate son to a powerful minister second only to the emperor, all his tenderness and favoritism were given to her alone… When did their feelings change? He didn't know! When he found out, she was already experiencing her first love and had someone else in her heart. So he meticulously planned and weighed every step, aiming not only to kill her but also to break her heart. Finally, on her wedding night, his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and he made her his bride… He knew she wouldn't forgive him, so he cleverly devised a series of schemes, risking his own life to force her to soften, to confront the truth, and to force her to sever her ties with that other man! The two poor souls truly had a tough time. Li Changyuan was indeed ruthless and not a good person, but putting himself in her shoes, he had also endured a very difficult life. The political intrigue was also captivating; the male lead's cold-heartedness, vengefulness, and ruthless methods were all formidable! In the very end, she said: "Being loved is like having a powerful backer!" He said: "Let winter and summer pass, spring and autumn come and go, I will protect you for a hundred years without worry!"

    Both fantasy novels are among my favorites. The female protagonists are clear-headed and not brainless. If I had to compare them, the second one is funnier than the first. The second one has no romantic pairing, while the first one does. But both are incredibly funny, and they're also ensemble pieces. Highly recommended! [Heart]
