   This book is really worth reading. This is a pure ancient story, not a rebirth. The powerful ministers plotted to plunder and plunder, while the little princess was coquettish and courageous.

   Super super recommended! It's really, really, really beautiful! I haven't seen such a favorite article on Tomato for a long time. The heroine is particularly sober. She is luckier than Ruoxi. She was not swallowed up bit by bit in the feudal dynasty, and she has always stuck to herself and has not indulged in love. The character of the male protagonist is also outstanding. It is love that makes him contrast. The character design is consistent, and the transition from the traditional rotten cucumber to the setting of falling in love with someone is also very smooth. It is in line with the character setting and will not make people feel that the character design is broken. God, the author is such a writing beet! However, the author did not weaken the romance plot because of the sober character of the heroine. Love can be glimpsed from the words, but the overall direction of the story is consistent with the character. The whole novel is very smooth and macroscopic, and the characters are relatively complete. Even though the supporting characters don't have many roles, they have a sense of presence. Maybe it's because the overall story is not a long one. I think this is just right. The story structure is very complete. Fried Chicken Stick👍🏻. There is no thrilling plot, but there is a trickle of emotion. I love it
