Help, the author has been writing it since 2004 to 205, but it is very good. I think it is a very good book among fan fictions.

The protagonist is smart and tenacious, engaged in career and love, and the loyal father-in-law and the ambiguity are really...

Gongdou Zhaidou strongly recommends it. When I read The Legend of Zhen Huan, I fell in love with Concubine Nian.

The author is very smart, laying out the heroine's intelligence in small details and big decisions. The character is generous and cheerful, and the character is sober in the world. It is atmospheric and enjoyable. The setting of the male protagonist is also the same. He has a heavy responsibility, so he has to endure hardships and endure hardships, and the logic is closed. Many plot settings are quite reasonable. The author's descriptions of country, love, family, and friendship are very touching, and there is always one point that resonates. There are many conspiracy settings in the article, which can't be stopped at all. I feel like my IQ has increased after reading this.
