[Proud, cunning fallen princess] x [Rough-hewn, tender-hearted general of the new dynasty]
A pair of shameless rogues who love and fight in equal measure: clashing loyalties, a sea of hatred and passion, and endless sniping that leaves them both wounded.
From the heroine’s perspective:
After her kingdom falls, Yuan Yingmei drifts into the Western Regions and becomes a slave.
She is bought by a man named Bai Tieniu. He is rough as they come, with an imposing build, but once he washes up, he turns out to be fair-skinned and clean-cut. He makes excellent braised beef and is as considerate as he is sharp-eyed.
Yuan Yingmei takes quite a liking to him. He leads her across the desert, and they dance together in a bandit den. They have been through hardship together, after all.
But later, she learns his true identity: the new dynasty’s butcher, the god of slaughter who destroyed her kingdom, Marquis Ningxi Bai Yourin.
Fine by her. Now she has nothing to worry about. A man and an army delivered right to her doorstep are not to be turned down!
From the hero’s perspective:
Bai Yourin buys a slave at the market. She says her name is Chen Qi, and claims she is beautiful, clever, and good at everything.
That very night, he discovers she is nothing like advertised. This slave cannot do a thing. He braises the beef, he boils the noodles, and she even gets up in the middle of the night to sneak a drink of his liquor!
He wants to curse her, but he cannot win an argument with her. If he holds his tongue, he feels like he will burst. So the next day, he sells her!
As it turns out, in this deeply religious land, she uses nothing but her sharp tongue to get him whipped thirty times.
From then on, he becomes the slave of a slave!
He accompanies her across the desert, marveling at how someone so delicate and frail dares to enter a bandit den alone. She can speak fluently about stories, legends, history, and politics, and can summon them all at will...
Compared with his clumsiness, she shines brilliantly.
Until her identity as a princess of the former dynasty can no longer be concealed.
He can love a girl, but he cannot love a princess: a princess more clever than he is, who is bent on restoring her kingdom and has calculated him and his sincere feelings into her plans.
That is his bottom line, and a dead end.
After that, she tells everyone she meets that she is the person he loves most. Benefits come pouring in, even though he never admits to loving her.
And he tells everyone how insignificant she is, wanting only to hide her away, even though he knows better than anyone how ambitious and sharp-edged she is.
What outsiders do not know is that, late at night after every lingering embrace, he cannot help but plead with tear-filled eyes, “Yuan Yingmei, give it up!”
Seeing that he would not budge from his position even at the cost of his life, Yuan Yingmei gently wipes away his tears. “Why won’t you give your heart to me?”
[Reading Guide]
1. Neither is a virgin. The heroine has two ex-husbands, and the hero is a widower with a child. They are both shameless little scoundrels, and neither is a perfect character. They are both incredibly stubborn and will not turn back until they hit a wall.
2. Their love-hate relationship means both genuine love and genuine hatred. There will be sweetness, but there will definitely be angst too.
3. The author knows nothing about history and is not aiming for historical accuracy. The religions, regions, countries, and beliefs in the story are all made up.
4. Their relationship has a happy ending, but both characters are tragic figures. This is not a wish-fulfillment novel.
Theme: The heart yearns for freedom
Wow, I clicked on the details page today to see the collection, and found that I have collected more than 500. I think the author's book is worth at least 2,000 to 3,000 yuan (at least, I mean, it should be more than that). Hope this gets better and better!
It's time to let your ex-husband go to the crematorium 🐶
Alas, the consort is also a very good person. If the country is not destroyed, he and the heroine can also be a couple of gods and immortals.
Our heroine plays a big role 🐶
It's a little hard to imagine what this girl would be like if she were really born. The situation of the male and female protagonists and their relationship with Xiao Zhenjian may be more complicated. Not being born may not necessarily be a bad thing for parents. Although this sentence is cruel, [heartbroken][heartbroken][heartbroken] The child comes and goes to protect the parents she loves ❤️❤️❤️
Great writing, teacher! I have to keep writing.
Go ahead, the heroine really killed this stupid man and made me look handsome. Such a heroine is even more attractive. I look forward to seeing my ex-husband!!
In fact, the soft-heartedness of the male protagonist is acceptable, but since the author mentioned his deceased wife, I would like to ask out of curiosity, the relationship between the male protagonist and his deceased wife should be different from that of the female protagonist. I have also mentioned in the previous article that the emotions and feelings when getting along with the female protagonist are different from those when getting along with the deceased wife. There are not such big emotional ups and downs. The wife should be a traditional woman who knows how to live a good life. The male protagonist's family took her in and was later matched by the male protagonist's mother. The male protagonist's wish at that time was also very simple. He wanted to get married and have children and live a life like an ordinary man. Therefore, he should be more responsible for the deceased wife. Of course, the deceased wife was also a good woman and we got along again. After such a long time, they are more or less emotional. After reading it, I felt that their relationship should be between family members and companions, and the male protagonist is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. If his deceased wife was still there, he would never develop a relationship with the female protagonist. But I really like the female protagonist's character, she is smart and beautiful, She will not compromise for any man and works hard towards her goals. She is cold-faced but warm-hearted. Her ex-husband has not come online yet. I am really curious about the details of their breakup. I always feel that the relationship between them is not over yet. By the way, it is a pity that if the heroine was born in modern times, many men would have to step aside 🤔
Like! Please update quickly! [Hug thigh]
Isn't my ex-husband really dead? I feel like he's quite pitiful.
