In the first book, although the protagonist is a dandy, he has a big chest, but he is relatively salty. This one is funny and seems to be more relaxed. The second book is about two male protagonists. The protagonist is relatively funny, has two-way redemption, and has cheats, but they are not used much. The overall article is logical, and it is also the type where parents are short-lived and can live a relatively easy life. The third book is not about the empress. The background of the article refers to the Wu Zetian era. The protagonist and the empress have gone through a lot. In the end, the protagonist actually has deep feelings for the empress, but the empress is the emperor after all, so the ending is both expected and unexpected.

Pure Ancient Proverbs The unpopular daughter of the Mu family was given a royal decree to marry the dying prince Zhou Jing. As soon as Zhou Jing opened his eyes, he had a fiancée. The little girl was obviously afraid of him, but she still couldn't help but express her loyalty: "Your Highness, I will be very good to you." "Your Highness, after you go, I will burn a lot of paper money and burn a few paper figurines of beautiful maids for you." "Your Highness, I will abide by the ways of a woman and remember my late husband every day!" The dark, twisted and malingering Crazy Zhou Jing:... I haven't seen anyone seeking death for a long time. On the wedding day, the sky was filled with loud gongs and drums. Hundreds of assassins poured into the team. The prince, who was still pretending to cough up blood before half a stick of incense, was fierce with his sword, with white knives going in and red knives coming out. How could he still look weak? Zhou Jing, who was already emotional, held the blood-stained sword and walked step by step to the frightened little girl. He wiped off the blood splattered on her right cheek, tilted his head and murmured in a low voice: "Why are you crying? They scared you?"
