A masterpiece that was delayed by the title of the book, also known as "Qing and the Sun and the Moon". The male protagonist is too perfect, Zhilan Yushu, and the female protagonist is warm and kind. I also recommend watching the short drama version, it is so good.

Pure ancient language, marriage first, love later, no time travel, indigenous male and female protagonists. Shen Wan, the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Jiangnan, has a gentle and dignified appearance. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and never goes too far. In fact, he has a clear heart and knows that family glory is a castle in the air. He longs to get rid of the fate of being a "marriage tool" and gain true respect and freedom. Gu Qingzhou, a young man in the new department, came from a poor family. His father was framed and died tragically for exposing corruption. On the outside, he looks cold, arrogant, and not approachable to women, and he is recognized as a role model by both the government and the public. In fact, he is deeply scheming and careful at every step. His original intention when he entered the court was to overturn his father's case and eliminate officials. At first, he used the financial resources of the Shen family to pave the way, but was eventually impressed by Shen Wan's intelligence and resilience, and regarded her as her only fellow traveler. Marriage first, love later + the mask of two strong men + house fighting for power and intrigue are intertwined. Based on the class prejudice of "scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants", it tells the story of the royal businessman's legitimate daughter and a poor family's Tanhua, from a profit marriage to a life and death companion, joining forces to overthrow powerful officials and rewrite their own destiny.

The first one has some lighthearted and funny stories, especially the male protagonist, who is funny and different from other male protagonists. From the author's words, you can feel that he is a character with a soul. The heroine traveled back in time when he was five years old and knows martial arts. The heroine's father is also funny. The heroine is very smart. The third one is also very interesting. Just because the female protagonist was seduced by the wrong soul, the underworld sent a time-travel gift package, and the male protagonist was reborn. The two met once in the underworld. After getting along for a while, they discovered each other's identity. During the period of the great escape, the male protagonist led the whole village into the mountains to hide for a period of time, and the pig's feet did not have much aura. It will hurt and bleed. I plan to rewatch the first episode and then watch this.

Marriage first, then love + dual strength + slow passion + battle of wits and courage + two-way redemption. It is rumored that the prince of Chu State is blind and his internal organs are all weak and cannot survive the winter; and the princess who comes to marry is a weak waste who only knows how to cry. On the wedding night, an assassin sneaked in. The princess was so frightened that she smashed the tea cup, but the fragment happened to cut the assassin's throat. The prince weakly shrank into the bed, but the silver needle on his fingertip accidentally pierced the assassin's critical point. All civil and military officials in the court were waiting to see the joke of this short-lived couple. Until one dark and stormy night of a month, when the world's number one poison doctor Yaksha and the Lord of the Killer Pavilion, Yama, fought over the divine medicine and pulled off each other's masks, both of them fell silent. Chu Mochen approached with a low voice: "My dear concubine, your night clothes are much prettier than your phoenix crown and harem during the day." Yan Yunqi sneered and showed the poisonous needle: "Your Highness, your sight is not blind and you are constantly angry, and it is much more pleasing to the eye than during the day!'" When the drama queen princess with a spike armor that rebounds ten times the physical attack, met the yandere boss who was so powerful in the dark night, everyone in the capital was tricked into crying!
