Reader note

The male protagonist Gu Yan's appearance is simply "disastrous". He was originally a modern ordinary person who drowned and traveled to ancient times to become the aide of Qian Wang Chen Yuan. He had no other skills and relied on his "painting-like features and clear and handsome face" to force the heart of the cold-blooded emperor. The emperor was notoriously domineering. At first he just thought Gu Yan was good-looking and wanted to stay by his side, but then he fell straight into it - Gu Yan wanted to escape, so he sent someone to capture him and put him under house arrest in the palace, euphemistically called "serving him personally." But Gu Yan couldn't stand this "forced preference" and took advantage of the emperor's distraction to fight, so he faked his death and ran away. Who would have known that after this escape, the emperor went crazy - on the day he learned of the "death", Chen Yuan smashed the palace to pieces, grabbed his subordinates with red eyes and asked, "Where is my Ayan?" He didn't even go to court, and used all the strength of the country to find someone.

✅The first one is about the emperor and his subjects. It is very interesting. In the early stage, the protagonist is taking the imperial examination. In the later period, the relationship between the emperor and his subjects is revealed. When the relationship between the monarch and his subjects is deep, there are also gaps. In the end, it is shown in the extra story that he died a good death. I have read it several times. ✅The second and third books are all based on the emperor. The emperor (who is a time traveler) is the protagonist, but it is also a relationship between a monarch and his subjects. ✅The fourth book also has a relationship between a monarch and his subjects, but the heroine is an emperor, who rebelled against the superior. However, when the rebellion did not succeed, she told her advisers that she wanted to be a coward, a tyrant, and not a wise king. The interaction was also very interesting.
