   It's really good-looking. Although the writing style is relaxed, the content shows that the author is very educated and has strong writing skills! Not naive, not too superficial. I haven't read such a good article in a long time! This is my favorite article in the past two or three years. I felt happy after reading it! It's just that the author updates too slowly! I don't know when the author plans to finish it. If it exceeds 2,000 chapters, then according to the current update speed, I will have to wait for more than two years, but I really hope that this book can be written for a long time and have a perfect ending! I must not rush the ending. I can wait, I can save it and read it again later. Can the author give a preview of when the plan will be completed?

   Female protagonist + eating melon + relaxing. Let's take a look at the "eating melon" type. The daughter of a minister who was born in a dynasty. A woman from a dynasty background can be an official and is forced to go to work (in the upper dynasty). All civil and military officials in the dynasty (good people) can hear the heroine's voice. The emperor and ministers caught a lot of worms based on the heroine's voice. It's super funny [laughing] [laughing] [laughing]

    This book is very good. I read it on Baidu. I didn't expect that Tomato also has it. It's a story about the rebirth of the whole family. There is no cp or golden finger. The whole process relies on the wisdom and strength of the heroine to overcome many obstacles. Moreover, the heroine is not a virgin, but she has her own bottom line. The logic is very strong, the plot is also very compact, the story line is very clear, the escape route is very thrilling, everyone supports each other, and finally reunites with her family, overthrows the decadent dynasty, and establishes her own peaceful age!
