After reading it, the whole article is still very interesting. The relationship between the soft and gentle Ming Tan and the world-famous Jiang Xu with his outstanding military exploits is very interesting. First, let's talk about the family background of the male and female protagonists. The female protagonist's father, Jingan Hou Mingting, served as the commander of Yangxi Road far away. He held the military power of Yangxi Road and coordinated local military and political affairs. He was a powerful general. As for the male protagonist, he has royal blood. His father is Prince Min Cong, and Prince Min Cong's father was Emperor Taizong. The male protagonist's father was killed by the late emperor (the father of the current emperor) when he was the prince. The late emperor was actually a very benevolent person. He was obsessed with the empress dowager, so he killed his eldest brother (Prince Min Cong) who had always trusted and loved him. The late emperor also told Emperor Taizong the truth about the matter, and wanted to make the wise emperor's grandson (that is, Jiang Xu), but Jiang Xu was still young at that time. Even if Xian was given to him, it was hard to say how long he could sit in that position. Therefore, Emperor Taizong wrote a secret decree, that is, after the death of the late emperor, the throne would be passed to Jiang Xu, rather than to the late emperor's own child (the current emperor Cheng Kangdi). Because of the deep depression in his heart, the late emperor died of illness within just a few years of his reign. Before his death, the male protagonist was no longer a child and found out the truth of the matter. He always believed that the late emperor was cunning and hypocritical, so he wanted to kill his enemies and avenge his father. Unexpectedly, the late emperor told Jiang Xu and Emperor Chengkang the whole truth before he left. He also gave him Emperor Taizong's secret edict and the imperial edict written by him, which were passed down to Jiangxu. Emperor Cheng Kang and Jiang Xu had played together and shared hardships together since they were young. So the male protagonist never thought about taking back the throne that should belong to his father. He himself felt that Emperor Chengkang was more suitable to be the king of a country than him, so he chose to go to the north to fight and kill the enemy. Therefore, Emperor Chengkang has always tolerated and trusted unconditionally. Okay, let's talk about our male and female protagonists. The first acquaintance between the heroine and the hero can actually be traced back to when the heroine was still at the age of cardamom. Jiang Xu was injured in an attack in his early years and hid in a temple. Ming Tan accidentally helped him avoid being searched. The jade medal he dropped later also blocked poisonous arrows for him on the battlefield. Because of this "kindness", after the heroine broke off the engagement, she told the emperor that he came to marry Ming Tan. As mentioned before, the heroine's father holds great power. The emperor is very taboo about ministers who hold great power, so the emperor will gradually remove the Marquis of Jing'an in the future. The male protagonist also understands this truth, so he marries Ming Tan because of this kindness, and wants to ensure that she has enough food and clothing, in order to repay the favor, but more out of consideration for the Marquis of Jing'an. But in the process of getting along with each other, they gradually became attracted to the heroine and fell in love with her. Mingtan's first fiancé was having an affair and had an illegitimate child. The heroine also successfully canceled the engagement after learning about this incident. Later, when I found out that I was going to marry His Highness King Dingbei, who had great military exploits, I was actually very unhappy. "A martial artist is wild and vulgar, and is not a kind person." This was our Xiao Mingtan's initial evaluation of her future husband. Later, after seeing what the male protagonist looked like, she, as a face-controller, began to "like" the male protagonist. After marrying into the palace, if I were the male protagonist, I would have to fall in love with the female protagonist. Princess Tan of the Ming Dynasty is a noble daughter (little princess) who has been pampered since she was a child and is well versed in family etiquette. She is also gentle, considerate and thoughtful. I feel that every time Jiang Xu returns to the palace, he will fall into the tenderness of the little princess... I am also addicted to it. How can I not be attracted to the male protagonist. Moreover, after marrying into the palace, the two of them had a lot of activities at night. On the wedding night of Mingtan's first night after marrying into the palace, the two became very affectionate. I like this speed very much. I didn't expect that the two of them would be so fast, because they both get married first and fall in love later. I think this novel, as the first ancient poem written by the author, is already well written. But when I read this novel, it also had some shortcomings. First of all, when I was halfway through the book, I felt that the author's description of the male protagonist, including what the male protagonist said, was relatively small. It was just that the male protagonist was established, which gave me the feeling that the male protagonist was very empty. On the contrary, the female protagonist is more realistic. I don't mean to say that it is bad to write about the female protagonist in this way. After all, as a female-channeled romance novel, I just feel that the person I write about the male protagonist is a bit illusory. There is also the fact that the male protagonist is sometimes speechless. Although this is probably a personal character problem of the male protagonist, he does not explain it to the female protagonist in advance, which leads to misunderstandings between the two. But I think there is one thing the author wrote very well, because this article is purely ancient, and Mingtan is a young lady who lives in a boudoir. After she married into the palace, some of her words and deeds, as well as the thoughts of ancient people in her mind, I think the writing is very superb. I think this kind of description is in line with the thoughts of an ancient person. Ming Tan is a daughter-in-law of a noble family who has a very delicate mind, a noble demeanor, outstanding etiquette, and a dignified temperament without losing her sense of agility and sense of proportion. After marrying into the palace, she was equally dignified as a princess. She also plays some petty tricks when facing her husband, and has a very distinctive personality. The same goes for the male protagonist. Although he initially married Mingtan just to repay a favor, he has never treated the little princess materially. He will also pamper the little princess and protect her. Later, he will also make Mingtan happy. He also respects the heroine very much. Because Mingtan is still young and not in good health, the hero will not ask the heroine to get pregnant immediately, but will let her recuperate for a few years... Jiang Qizhi's preference and care for Mingtan can be seen in all the details. I also like several other pairs of CPs. Zhou Jingwan × Lu Ting and Bai Minmin × Zhang Huaiyu are also very interesting. ——She whispered in Jiang Xu's ear, slightly sleepily: "Husband, my wish is that in the new year, you can like me a little more, a little more than before, okay? In this way, I will make a wish once a year, and you will like me more and more..." Jiang Xu rubbed her head. It seems that he is not sure that this wish can be realized for her, because now, he seems to like her very much.
I really like the story of the protagonist, but the matching of Xiaoxiaole really made me uncomfortable. Forget about the heroine's best friends, the heroine's brother and Shen Yu all need to have a co. It's not necessary.
