    Killing like crazy! The tyrant is crazy about pursuing his wife, but she is obsessed with pursuing her career and killing her in the harem. Help! I dug out a book called "The Empress Who Can't Fall in Love, the Tyrant Who Becomes a Demon", which writes about "the heroine's pursuit of a career". The heroine has "getting money, power, and career" engraved into her DNA. She doesn't even bother to deal with the tyrant who chases him into a licking dog. The plot of killing people all the way made me slap the table like crazy! As soon as the heroine enters the palace, she immediately starts the "career mode" - she has no sincerity towards the emperor, treats the tyrant as nothing, and only sees power, wealth and the way to climb up! Faced with the overt and covert attacks in the harem, she didn't even bother with the "harem fights" and directly used her IQ to crush her: Are the concubines framing her for poisoning? She threw the evidence in front of the emperor with her backhand, letting the framer dig a hole to bury her; the Queen Mother wanted to take advantage of her? She had already laid out the plan for the previous government and used her strength to defeat the Queen Mother! The tyrant's "crazy pursuit of his wife" is a famous high-energy scene - he clearly holds the power of life and death, but he is so humble in front of the heroine: he looks at the heroine's account book to calculate the income, more seriously than approving the memorial; the heroine casually said that he likes jewelry, and he emptied the treasury to send it overnight; even to please the heroine, he gave her the "bribery list" of the former minister as a gift to make money! But the heroine didn't even bother to look at her. She took the list and went to the court to impeach her. The court was turned upside down. The tyrant was still there. The aunt laughed: "My queen, she looks so beautiful when she is engaged in her career!" The most amazing thing is the heroine's "Thousand Layers of Acting Routine" - To the tyrant, she has an indifferent face of "I just want to make money, don't bother me"; to the powerful ministers, she pretends to be a "simple and easy-to-manage" little white rabbit, and turns her face and skins when the other party takes the bait; even the Queen Mother was deceived by her, thinking that she was a docile pawn, but it turned out that the heroine had already laid out the game, and weaved the power network of the harem and front court more and more densely! Whether you are a fan of reading "the heroine is pursuing her career" or you are addicted to the contrasting cuteness of "the tyrant chasing after his wife like crazy", this book will make you so happy! The Tomato novel is directly readable, and the plot is so compact that every chapter has a breaking point. The heroine is so crazy about her career that even the tyrant has to step aside! Hurry up, you will really cry if you miss it! # Dou Shuang Wen # heroine engages in career #tyrant chases his wife crematorium #Tomato novel masterpiece #Crazy criticism of heroine ceiling
