Ancient Romance with a Female Lead Disguised as a Man, Rated 9+
For a while, I was really into women disguising themselves as men. It feels like in ancient times, women could only gain true freedom by pretending to be men, and the identity-reveal payoff is so satisfying too.

To be honest, this is my first time writing a book, so I don't know where to start. And before today, I had never thought of writing a book review because I am very cautious and always feel that I often make too many mistakes. Maybe I'm feeling particularly emotional now because I have a cold, so I'll just say whatever comes to my mind. Looking through the book list, this book is my favorite. Speaking more broadly, it is precisely because of this book that my appetite has almost plunged into novels related to ancient times. Although it is a plunge into the ocean of ancient times, it may be related to my profession. When I read the article, my friends and I first excluded books with real historical figures, and secondly excluded books that explained which dynasty this article was based on. But this book is one that I can't help but love even though I clearly refer to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. First of all, I admire the hero and heroine very much. Most of the novels I read are related to secret love, because I have had a crush on a boy for 7 years, and secret love novels are the books that resonate with me the most. Maybe it's just because of the subject matter that I'm reading, so I can't get the character right now. When many friends recommend books and say how charismatic the hero or heroine of this book is, I feel confused. Because when it comes to charisma, I prefer people who have truly lived and had charisma, so now I am stuck in a gap period for novels. When I am bored, I basically read biographies. But when I opened this novel again, I thought I would read something that would make me happy, but I didn't expect that I could read it from beginning to end. I liked this novel very much when I first came across it. However, I was still reading at the time and accidentally searched it out on Baidu. Before, I was charged for phone calls and had no idea what website it was. I thought it was really free to read. It was really embarrassing. In recent years, I have gradually come into contact with it more and more. When I was in Jinjiang, I suddenly thought whether Da DaDa was also in Jinjiang, so I searched and quickly subscribed. Now that I think about it, it is the Prime Minister and Zhong Qing who have made me miss them for many years. Sometimes I wonder why I still miss these two people after so many years. Now it seems that I have surrendered to their personality charm. Let's talk about the prime minister first. The blood of the common people flows in the prime minister's body. Although the Wei and Jin Dynasties were romantic and dissolute, they did value blood. It is not easy for the prime minister to be able to navigate among the young masters of aristocratic families with ease. Of course this is not important. Everyone knows that during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the mentality of the scholars was mostly decadent. Sometimes they thought about the Northern Expedition, but because of the glory of the family and the people in power who wanted to maintain their status, everyone knew the final result. Therefore, in such an environment, I think it is very remarkable that the Prime Minister can not feel inferior, be proactive, and not rely on Wu Shi Powder to paralyze himself. Secondly, the prime minister knows his responsibilities. Although maintaining the Xie family was a responsibility imposed on her by her grandfather, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, those in office were notoriously irresponsible. They want to enjoy themselves in this world for a while, but they don't want to really give up their official positions like Tao Yuanming, so I think it's not easy for the prime minister to accept and take responsibility. Moreover, what is even more rare is that the prime minister later also had a family, a country and a world. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was a clan politics that only considered the family and rarely considered the responsibilities they shouldered. Opening the history books, there are a few people who dared to be the first in the world. Of course, that was a limitation of the times, and this change of mentality was not clearly expressed in the article. But I know that the Prime Minister has it in his heart. In today's terms on the Internet, people who have experienced hardship are more likely to hold an umbrella for future generations. The prime minister is indeed soft-hearted. She did not kill Chu Lian or Xie Ran. To a greater extent, these are political mistakes. But it is precisely because the Prime Minister did not kill him that the Prime Minister's charm is revealed. Because she had suffered, she had seen large swaths of corpses, and she had received a little favor, so at a certain moment, she also wanted redemption. Speaking of this, I feel that book friends will say that it is understandable that Chu Lian will not kill him, but what about Xie Ran? After all, he was the one who hurt Xie Shu. Xie Ran did not kill, which was another clever thing about the Prime Minister. Xie Ran did not kill, as mentioned in the article - Xie Ran is the most suitable person to be the head of the Xie family. He has a dark heart, does not pay attention to kindness, and cares about the interests of the Xie family. I read Chaos before and didn't think much about it, but now it seems that the Prime Minister is really smart. In the eyes of the Xie family branch, Xie Ran is the prime minister's right-hand man. They believe in the prime minister and Xie Ran who gave them a chance together with the prime minister. Secondly, Xie Ran is different from the prime minister. The prime minister is regarded as the legitimate son in the eyes of the side branches and is valued by the old prime minister. However, Xie Ran has always been despised by the people in the clan. Somewhere, they have somewhat sympathetic feelings towards Xie Ran. Although it is not stated in the article, it is definitely there. Again, as mentioned in the article, the Prime Minister punished Xie Ran at that time. Finally, there is the family issue. In history, very few first-class families have risen in the later period. The Xie family is one of them. We always mention Wang Xie now, but if it is truly a first-class family, it should be the Battle of Feishui. (I'm not sure about this either) But what impressed me deeply was that the Xi family and the Xie family were not as good as the Wang family before. In addition to their relationship with the Sima royal family, the Xie family had too few heirs and too few people to look after each other. At first, I thought there was no use in having so many people in one clan, but then I read a lot of books and found out that it is really useful. This is similar to the three burrows of a cunning rabbit. Once one party is in trouble, the other party can take care of it, thus maintaining the family's glory and waiting for a comeback. If the prime minister kills Xie Ran, first of all, the position of the sect leader will be vacant. Although the other juniors are smart, no one will accept it if it is chosen from among the juniors. The Xie family, which has finally been united into one force, will once again become a piece of loose sand that only cares about itself. The prime minister is the head of the clan, so she still thinks about the Xie family. There is one last thing I want to say about Prime Minister. I once shared this book with a friend. My friend said that judging from the novel, some of the endings are not good because the starting point of the book is very high. But the heroine is from that dynasty. If she continues to be in power, she may bring death to the Xie family. This is in line with the logic of the heroine in the novel. The heroine is a smart person. She knows that her relationship with Zhong Qing cannot be involved in the politics of the two clans. At the same time, she also knows that if she continues to govern as a woman, her confrontation with Sima Ting will bring about losses for both parties, and even the loneliness of the Xie family. Therefore, the Prime Minister cleverly used the injury to withdraw, saving himself and Xie's family at the same time. This is the Prime Minister fulfilling her responsibility to the Xie family. I can't describe the character of the male protagonist, but I really, really like and admire Zhong Qing. Zhongqing is also very smart. Since ancient times, the generals have been in harmony and the world has been peaceful. Why do generals and the world have peace? You can refer to Zhang Juzheng (Zhang Juzheng should not be called Prime Minister because the post of Prime Minister was removed in the Ming Dynasty) and Qi Jiguang. Civil servants stayed in the court all year round and could guess the emperor's thoughts relatively accurately, while generals with great power were away from home all year round, posing a certain threat to the imperial power. Therefore, once the court had the support of civil servants with great power and the emperor's trust, whether in terms of military resources or other aspects, they would face relatively little resistance. In the article, although Zhongqing supports the Ninth Prince, he also knows that he maintains the glory of the family and at the same time protects the world. Therefore, he openly disagrees with the Prime Minister to let the Emperor put it down. At the same time, he secretly forms a check and balance with the Prime Minister to prevent the Emperor from easily touching the Wei family. The most important point is that he is not sure whether the Ninth Prince or the Crown Prince will ascend the throne in the end. A harmonious relationship with the Xie family is also conducive to the development of the Wei family. Once again, I have to admire Zhongqing's cleverness. In the real Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Xie family was so close to the Sima royal family that Liu Yu was afraid of the Xie family and killed a large number of Xie family members. As for the cooperation between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, I don't think this is a breakdown of the character. After all, in that era, no one did not value the family, and considering the family was a natural rule in clan politics. Also, the male protagonist is quietly jealous, which really pricked me! However, what I appreciate most about the male protagonist is that, like the female protagonist, he never gives up on his responsibilities. It was mentioned in the article that because the male protagonist's family has relatively few people, his father is already relatively lonely, and can be said to be reduced to a second- or even third-rate family. The male protagonist's eldest brother tried hard to restore the family's glory by relying on his military exploits, but unfortunately he was defeated and captured, so the pressure shifted to the male protagonist. Such great pressure is great for both men and women. The future is really slim. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many people held the dead bones in the graves to remember the glorious moments of the family. It is really rare for the male protagonist to rise up and successfully make the Wei family into a first-class family with tangible military achievements. Perhaps the male protagonist understands his responsibilities, so when he discovered the identity of the female protagonist, he did not ask her to give up her power as prime minister and head of the Xie clan. This is very rare. (Excuse my lack of vocabulary) A sentence in the article that left a deep impression on me was, "I once felt that falling in love with you was my pain, but if I make you fall in love with me, that would be my achievement." I like this sentence very much, because whether it is in real life or the world of fiction, if you fall in love with someone who doesn't like you, and you use every means to pursue that person, and end up getting hurt all over your body, then you will inevitably think "I regret it." Zhongqing liked the Prime Minister, and it was indeed painful in the early stage. In addition to thinking that he had betrayed his family at first, the Prime Minister also became wary of and distrustful of him later on. But I think Zhongqing should have never regretted liking the prime minister. It was very difficult for men in the Wei and Jin Dynasties to maintain deep love. The male protagonist is really gentle. He is like a light breeze, blowing in the face with a refreshing floral fragrance. Or for many people, they think it is central air-conditioning and they feel insecure, but in fact, it is extremely gentle. In the words of Ms. Yang Jiang (the source cannot be found, and it is said that it was not said by Ms. Yang Jiang) - some people are already signed up just by meeting them. (Not original words) For me, meeting a man like Zhong Qing is truly a surprise. After talking about the male and female protagonists, I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Mrs. Xiang. Mrs. Xiang had limitations of the times. For example, she hoped that Zhongqing would have offspring. When the Prime Minister was initially infertile, she secretly approached the Prime Minister and hoped that the Prime Minister would persuade Zhong Qing to have a child with another woman. Yes, these are her shortcomings. But I like her daring to love and hate very much. She fell in love with Zhongqing's father and married the male protagonist's father regardless of the decline of the Wei family. At the same time, after his death in battle, he kept his two children. Zhongqing is so good, it must be said that Mrs. Xiang deserves the credit. The article also said that Mrs. Xiang was a person who dared to take responsibility. Zhongqing told her that it was him who caused the prime minister to have no heirs. Mrs. Xiang acquiesced in the relationship between the two and no longer objected. She did not ask the heroine to abdicate, lose her independence and become dependent on Zhongqing like other mothers-in-law. Later, when the prime minister disguised himself as a woman and returned to Wuling, he had no objection to the prime minister being Zhong Qing's official wife. So I also like Mrs. Xiang very much. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to Dayu, the writing is really good. The heroine never lost her independence from beginning to end, and she was always evenly matched with Zhong Qing. It is true that one should not be bound by chains for the rest of his life, but if one abandons one's responsibilities and covers one's weakness with decadence, that is also the act of a coward. Therefore, I would like to express my love to Dayu again and thank Dayu for bringing such a good Prime Minister, Zhongqing and Mrs. Xiang. I really like you, and I hope you can write better articles. Love you!
I finally got to see a story about a woman disguised as a man that made me very satisfied. The characters of the protagonist and supporting characters stand up, and Mu Bai, Wang Jingzhi, Huan Enping... All feel very vivid. The language style makes the story interesting but does not deviate from the main line of logic. The ups and downs of the plot reveal Xie Xiang's character, abilities and growth at various stages. This kind of psychological confession does not have long paragraphs, but it is always rendered just right and the process of emotional fetters that touches people's hearts makes me feel very tense. It is more in line with people's true mental journey (worrying about gains and losses, entangled and complicated). Wei Yizhi gradually became obsessed with temptation, and struggled with the responsibilities he had shouldered and the principles he had always adhered to. While trying to divert his attention in other ways, he couldn't help but be attracted. He even couldn't help but test, search, and pray that he could have both the people he loved and the principles he served. In the end, he abandoned his armor and suddenly woke up. Ming's answer was ready to come out, but he chose to stop here, put aside the shackles, and accepted his emotions frankly. The concept of a gentleman has always been consistent, and he has never threatened or had a moment of evil thoughts with the intention of forcibly occupying him (I want to stab Xie Ran for this!). This process of self-struggle and growth and breakthrough is so heartbreaking and impressive. As the protagonist Xie Xiang who disguises herself as a man, it goes without saying that she has intelligence and charisma. Like Wei Yizhi, they completely maintained their "self" from the beginning to the end of the relationship, at least in the performance of their personal identities - putting responsibility first and the overall situation as the priority (it is indeed the feeling of male videos). Xie Xiang reconciled his gender reveal time and time again, rationally and calmly guarding against it, until Wei Yizhi used his actions to prove his true love (to borrow Wang Jingzhi's saying, love is different from love), and trusted him wholeheartedly without asking for anything. I also like the ending. The ending of a romance channel where a woman disguises herself as a man is either to end up disguised as a man (or to secretly get together with the male protagonist while doing so), or to abandon everything and retreat into the male protagonist's backyard. Either way, there are always shortcomings. Of course, there can be more bold ways, such as making drastic reforms on one's own, revealing one's identity, or even allowing women to do so from now on, but this sounds a bit fanciful, and seems to break the logic of the drama. It even feels disrespectful to the heroine's efforts in the turbulent and thrilling court to avert danger and display her talents in the previous chapters. At the end of the story, the foreshadowing of Xie Xiangjie's death is written. I don't know how other readers feel about it, but I also felt between the lines of the words the catastrophe that may result from continuing to take risks, the boredom of reaching the peak of power, the health crisis caused by continuing to forget about food and sleep, and the maturity of feelings for lovers. It makes me feel that Xie Xiangquan lost her reputation and mission and chose to be "Ruyi" and live a life of freedom like her father's words. This is a very logical and natural choice. Going back to the logical question, isn't this the second ending of a woman disguising herself as a man and entering the hero's backyard? Isn't it disappointing or even aggrieved that someone with such talent as a prime minister ends up like this? In the end, he has given up his career? But in the end, Xie Shu was still involved in the great cause in other ways, and she also said with high spirits that if she wanted to, she could still create a way to regain control (so it feels like she just retired early hahaha). Complete and hearty. Next time I want to see a strong and dangerous relationship that falls at the same time and becomes obsessed with each other!
In fact, I felt very sad when I read this chapter. Xie was so awesome at strategizing in those days. After she regained her status as a woman, she still had to be asked about the affairs of the back house, and her mother-in-law was always urging her to give birth. Although it is due to the limitations of the times, as a reader, I still feel a little unworthy for her (
I thought this was a funny old saying and I read it happily, but inadvertently I was stabbed with a lot of glass knives. The heroine is smart, rational and emotional beyond my imagination. She is a completely rational and emotional person. I also like that Zhongqing has nothing to hide about his feelings, even though the heroine was still "a man" at that time. This book is really good, so good, so good, let me think about it more carefully, and then put it down.
I really like the author's article, and I felt a little emotional after reading it. I thought that I had read some ancient novels in which women disguise themselves as men and seek power, but none of them ended with the heroine still maintaining her previous status, marrying the hero, and having a happy family. Either stay anonymous and give up your identity; or you may never appear to be married for the rest of your life. I hope there will be a novel like this in the future, in which the heroine takes advantage of her high status and gets married to the hero. These words may be too divergent, but I still like this novel and the author very much.
Sure enough, the previous books are still good.
Holy crap, I realized after reading this book that it was already written 12 years ago. It didn't feel out of place at all. I read it in one sitting.
The writing style is smooth and delicate. It is my top one in ancient Chinese~
It's been a long, long time since I've read a romance novel in its entirety. I didn't feel like skipping it in the middle of the book. The author's writing is really good. It's just some of these comments that make me gasp. They really only focus on the emotional line.
The article written nine years ago is so beautiful.
