Dan: to indulge, become absorbed in, and grow deeply attached to something, sinking into it completely
[Gentle beauty x puppet emperor]
Liu Yun was a physician's apprentice of humble origins. By a stroke of luck, she saved Lu Zheng, a regional military governor who had been gravely wounded and was close to death.
Grateful for her kindness after he recovered, the governor disregarded their difference in status and married her as his principal wife, with all the proper betrothal rites.
A hero and a beauty, brought together by a love born from surviving disaster. Their story became a beloved tale among commoners and courtiers alike. Even the teahouse storytellers loved telling it, always ending with a sigh: “Lady Liu is truly fortunate.”
Liu Yun once thought so too. She cherished the hard-won peace and was content.
But before the warmth of the happy tale had even faded, an imperial decree shattered her calm. Summoned into the inner palace, she became the emperor's personal maid, charged exclusively with attending to his medicine. She checked his pulse and prepared his medicine morning and evening, and even... warmed his bedding and pillows.
Imprisoned in the imperial palace, she became someone he could use as he pleased.
She told him he knew nothing of tenderness, only how to take.
He turned her from “Madam Lu” into a caged bird, able only to gasp for breath in his palm and depend on him, as if that were what he thought it meant to possess someone.
The emperor had only laughed it off at the time. “Even if you burn to ash, you can only ever be mine.”
-
Sure enough, Lu Zheng rebelled.
The emperor toyed with the jade seal on his desk and curled his lips into a smile. Good. Let him rebel. It would be a chance to clean house all at once.
He had planned everything down to the last detail, waiting for that so-called “hero” to walk into his trap, so she would finally give up on him.
But instead, he waited for her to turn herself to ash in a great fire.
[Reader's Guide]
● The female lead does not die.
● The third male lead is a eunuch.
● There are multiple romantic contenders for both the female and male leads.
● There is a harem, but the male lead is chaste.
● The female lead is not a virgin, and there are scenes involving a male supporting character.
● The anti-piracy setting is 30 percent.
● The female lead is the “Jiangzhu Immortal Grass” type, an absolute crybaby.
● The villain is disguised as the male lead. How wicked!
● The female lead is cowardly and saintly in the beginning, but even a rabbit bites when cornered.
● The first eight chapters are mostly sweet newlywed scenes with a little palace intrigue, so they may feel a bit dull. The plot gets going in the chapters afterward.
● The male lead falls for the female lead right away (there will be a reason later) and soon falls completely in love. There is basically no will-they-won't-they tension: it's a pursuit of his wife from beginning to end.
Theme: Understand and respect each other.
Oh my God, Alang will not be gone! I still want to see him and Yun'er 😭
It's very beautiful. Looking forward to the next chapter [Green Heart]
Alas, I stayed up until 3 o'clock yesterday and finished the entire article quickly. How should I put it, I was a little surprised to see that the author gave the reason why the male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist at the end. But I always feel that the Oedipus plot in love is still an abnormal emotion. A normal partnership unfolds like that between the ex-husband and the heroine, so the hero is indeed not a mentally healthy person. But the heroine, I always feel that she needs a healthy relationship, because she is a very good, very kind, and very lovely woman. I cried many times because of what happened to her. Although she is kind-hearted, she is not a Bodhisattva after all. She also has her own needs, companionship, care, love, respect, understanding, etc. These are all the ex-husbands and even the male protagonist have, but it is a pity that the male protagonist does not. The dedication that the male protagonist thinks of is very touching to be honest. After all, does he really protect the female protagonist? In the previous article, the heroine was bullied by the concubine and was thrown into Yeting by him. He was also separated from his lover and separated forever. I think many of the sufferings the heroine suffered in the world were caused by him. In the end, the heroine may not want to have so many burdens in the rest of her life. A fresh life, a beautiful individual, should be a beautiful age with a smile, but she has seen through the world of mortals. It is so sad 😭 😭 😭. Everyone's life is not smooth sailing. The male protagonist always longs to absorb the energy of his lover and the power of being loved from the female protagonist. Unfortunately, he is not such a person and the female protagonist cannot give him the emotion he wants. What you want can only be obtained by fighting for and paying for it. Unfortunately, the male protagonist has never been able to do it, so the author said that he keeps asking for it, so how can a person who keeps asking for but not giving get normal emotions? Actually, I don't care whether the ending is a reunion or not. I just want the heroine to be truly herself 😭. Even the OE ending, I don't think it's enough. Maybe my xp is more underworld [shut up]. Because a person like the male protagonist is so unworthy, he has no ability to love normally, he deserves to live alone for a lifetime, and it is he who should suffer, not Yun'er, and his suffering is not caused by Yun'er, so why should you ask others to save your missing childhood? There are many people living in misery in the world. If you follow what the male protagonist says, then there are many people who are worthy of saving. Why do you have to be aloof? As for the monarch [Shut up], so I understand what he is going through, but I cannot understand what he did to the heroine because of his experience. If loving someone makes her suffer as much as you do, then what is the point of such a lover? The hero needs a long, long time to practice to get a little closer to the heroine. Unfortunately, no one is willing to wait in place because of you. Your whole life may not be enough to atone for your sins. I will only regret the second half of the heroine's life. I hope she will live a happier life 😭 😭 😭.
This chapter was so exciting, so nervous, so confusing, so touching and so exciting...
I feel so complicated, but I still like the emperor more
Pei Gou, you stole this good life!
I don't see what I've done, it's all suffering.
Deliberately injuring myself again so that the heroine can stay again 😂 🐶
Hahahahaha, it's actually different from what I thought
He's running away again, hahaha, the guy named Pei is going crazy again
