A record of rival couples I've read about. I prefer couples who are confidants, stand on opposing sides yet ultimately reach the same destination, and love each other while fighting. If they don't actually try to kill each other, I consider it just playful squabbling.
Personal Preferences
My favorites: pretty gongs and handsome shous, scum gongs who become shous, genuinely wicked shous, straight-laced overpowered protagonists as shous, and beautifully balanced romances between equals.

Unknowingly, it has been many years. I got into this work in 19 years. I am a Chen fan and I love General Chen very much. The author's shaping ability is really outstanding. Every character in it is a living soul. Regarding Xiao Chen, he has many mirror images of historical heroes. In history, there are too many good generals who were suspected and died before their ambitions were fulfilled, and too many who would rather be broken into pieces. Idealists who do not care about everything, they take the lead and hope that their ideals can fight against the system. When loyalty to the emperor and protecting the people are no longer the same line, loyal ministers and good ministers are divided. The Mingjun's ideals begin to break, and the beliefs instilled in him by his parents and society from childhood begin to fall apart. They need his abilities but are afraid of his strength. They speculate on his intentions but crave his loyalty. Regardless of whether it is Xiao Ding or Lu Yan, regardless of whether Lu Yan is sincerely interested in him or not, in the final analysis, they are opposites with different positions. Even if they once respected and recognized each other out of sympathy for heroes and strong men, if Lu Yan pursues ambition and the world, while Chen Zeming protects loyalty and stability, then there will be no mutual conspiracy, and a confrontation will lead to death. (Although I actually prefer the old enemy team, there is no doubt about this in the direction of the original work. The choices of both people are in line with their personalities: D) In addition, I think Chen Zeming's resistance is more about analyzing himself over and over again, and it is the belief and persistence of self-reshaping. I have always felt that Xiao Chen has a kind of resilience towards death. He is able to find his own self-worth on the battlefield. That is the soul that is truly tempered on the battlefield and the brilliance that blooms in the battle of life and death. This kind of breakthrough is similar to the spiritual breakthrough of scholars like Sima Qian and Su Shi. The author does a great job of condensing the grand historical tragedy into the fate of individuals. Sometimes no grand expression is needed, and the microcosm of history is enough to reflect the educational background of the times. Perhaps those civil servants will still record his "capricious" betrayal, but from the reader's perspective, we can see the innocent efforts under the scars beyond the ending. His existence itself transcends the limitations of ordinary value standards. There is also the fact that he did not kill Xiao Ding during the Wei Dynasty. I personally don't think it was because of the imprisonment of love and hatred or any other vulgar and boring reasons. If it was just for Xiao Ding, he could easily have no worries. However, he mentioned Xiao Ding many times in the previous plot as the Nine-Five Supreme Being. I think what he was afraid of was the cultural symbol of power represented behind Xiao Ding, and it was also a shackle that he could not get over. Anyway, he was once the emperor. Apart from the previous ideological and moral shackles, the situation is also on the one hand. If the rebellion is already apostasy, and he has been labeled as holding the emperor hostage to order the princes when he was in charge of government, then regicide? Even if it is a deposed monarch, does that strengthen his stigma of regicide and seizing power? I think Chen Zeming is very particular about his choices most of the time, and he is not a political novice in the true sense. Xiao Chen's personality is really cool. Fan works should stop portraying me as a spoiled wife and a super hero. Hey adults, I'm happy every day. I didn't expect you to still pay attention to this work. Good literary works will really have a lasting impact on readers! I am very grateful to have encountered such masterpieces in my life, and to have encountered characters that resonate strongly with my soul! Looking forward to the adult's extras : D
It feels like there is no love between Chen and Xiao. Xiao Chen is unlucky to meet a monarch like Xiao. The love between them seems to only exist in the comment section. I read it twice and I still don't feel the sweetness from the comments section. I only feel sorry for Xiao Chen.
Oe is very good. In my imagination after watching the ending, I always felt that Xiao couldn't keep Chen. Chen would leave the capital and never come back. Until he heard about the funeral of the Supreme Emperor somewhere in the world, he might be stunned for a moment, that's all.
Readers in 2024 come and check in~ Compared with the current trend of only complaining about CP, after reading Tyrant, I actually felt more regretful and regretful. The author finally said that Xiao's tyranny was based on the First Emperor. As a fan of the First Emperor in the historical fandom, I think Xiao's character is indeed somewhat similar, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, Xiao failed to achieve the prosperous age of unification of the world. In fact, for all these reasons, the tyrant thinks that Xiao himself is responsible. He is really too willful. He has the ruthlessness of an emperor and an innate desire for power, but he does not have the quality of being suspicious of people without using others. He is too suspicious (the tyrant sighs) At the beginning of Xiao Chen, as the author said, he wanted to be a loyal minister, and you want to be a good minister. Boy, what is so loyal about a tyrant like Xiao (hey, he seems to have included himself) If, that is, if, Xiao can be less willful, then with Xiao Chen's talent, this will definitely be a great story about the powerful cooperation between the emperor and his ministers. But that would be completely different from the author's intention. There is a profound feeling in Tooda's book, which is different from the one in 2024. As expected, the ancient writing is more beautiful. Of course, Xiao and Chen's situation is more common in history. After being in the historical circle for a long time, I have seen it many times, but I still feel regretful. They are the pair of monarchs and ministers who are most likely to create a prosperous age. As the author writes in the article, history is full of waves from generation to generation. Fortunately, General Xiao Chen's last wish came true.
Today I remembered and clicked on this article in my collection. I wanted to see if you had written another article, Touda. I saw the recent replies to netizens posted by Touda, and found that it had been appearing recently. I once wrote a short side story to this article and asked a colleague to draw a cover for the article. Taking advantage of its great popularity, this side page has always been the most collected among all my articles. I used to join a group and catch bugs for the physical books published by Dada. I still treasure this set of books. You have a lot of room to make changes as you like. The most important thing is that the author of the code is happy! I wish you a happy life!
Oh my god, the author replied and told me that I feel so happy. I don't care if your Xiao fan's cpf is uncomfortable or not. Anyway, I, Chen fan, really feel good [sunglasses][sunglasses]
It turns out that it was because of some radicals that the author changed the introduction to this. I was really convinced [crying] After watching it in the second grade of junior high school, I uninstalled Jinjiang in high school. Now I am a freshman. During this time, I saw an extra chapter on Baidu that I had not seen before. I wanted to come back next time and wanted to watch the new extra. But the introduction became like this. At that time, I really felt that the sky was falling. Now, Gu Dan, who I have liked for so long, suddenly became the hero of the story. Even after reading the recent extra, I still don't want to believe that there is no relationship between the two of them at all [burst crying] I hate you people who made the author so angry that he changed the introduction to this [split] [split] I could have imagined that the two of them love each other, but I hate you. . . Give me back the first place in my heart. . . This is the first ancient danmei I've read. . . Now that I have become a male protagonist, it is not as good as the genuine physical book introduction I bought. Fortunately, I bought the unabridged version a few years ago...
Stealing a lot, it seems to be almost 20 years ago. .
I personally am a fan of Xiao, but I have never thought that Xiao Ding is a good person. Even if he dies, I won't think there is anything wrong with him. But I instinctively feel sorry for him. Although I am attacking and controlling, when I read the novel, I take more of Xiao Chen's perspective. Xiao Chen makes me feel that hatred is in my bones and blood, mixed with a trace of love, and that trace of love is nourished by hate. Xiao Ding makes me feel like a tree with roots entwined on the surface. His emotional paranoia pushes everyone away, and he is the first one to give me the feeling that people who hate can be substituted, but people who love cannot be substituted. I really like Xiao Chen, but I prefer Xiao Ding. I prefer Xiao Ding. I know he is evil, so many times when I see Xiao Ding being attacked, I can't say anything. If all that happened to me, I would want to kill Xiao Ding (it seems to be extreme, I'm sorry) , but in novels, I would like such a king, which is a very interesting statement (meeting a yandere in a novel: Love is coming; meeting a yandere in reality: uncle policeman, save me). A friend of mine once asked me, what would you do if you entered the novel you recommended? I glanced at her faintly, thinking that I would die without being able to find my grave. In addition to Danmei, I also read romance, so I don't think it's okay for Xiao Chen Xiaoding to have his own child. Before "General Order", there was basically one unclean person, such as "Er Ha" and "Medical Casebook". I also watched "Jian Jin Jiu", and the empress and female general in "General Order" impressed me even more. In "General Order", my favorite female character is not Qingqing and Yin Yin, but the queen. Although she has very few scenes, I feel like she is a calm and gentle big sister image. As for whether Chen loves Xiao or not, I think it doesn't really matter. Xiao must have fallen in love with Chen, but love is not everything. A truly good novel should not be dominated by love, so that after the restoration, Chen Zeming knelt down not because of love, but an emotion between a monarch and his subjects. Even at the beginning, I felt that Xiao Chen had filters and expectations for Xiao Ding. When he left later, he thought of feeling sorry for Xiao Yang. This was a bit shocking to me, and I could see that, in fact, Xiao Chen never desired love for Xiao Ding, but respect. In addition, "taking by force" really applies to Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding always takes by force from Xiao Yang and Xiao Chen. The deep sadomasochistic love makes me feel more like the love between a king and a minister. I was against the CP of Xiao and Chen (I was partial to Chen Gong, but in the beginning it was Xiao who took the lead), and even when I wrote a fanfic, it was Chen Gong. Although I am a fan of Xiao, if I cannot accept or glorify his bad qualities, I am not worthy of being a fan. Finally, I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance [][][]
Hi, I wish you a happy New Year. Before I know it, it's 2026, and I still can't let go of the General Order. The characters in your writing seem to have really existed, as if the General Order is really an official history with extremely detailed narration, and the characters and events in it are slowly unfolded over and over again in the reader's reading. The writing is really powerful! ! A goddess-like existence! Now let's talk about my favorite character in this article, and also my favorite character since watching Danmei for seven years – Chen Zeming. He really satisfied everything I wanted xp! I really find it cute, strong, straight, general, handsome (even though people around me don't understand), but there really is a character with these labels superimposed on each other! Chen Zeming's life is so colorful! General Wu Neng and Regent Wen Neng. Chen Zeming, Xiao Chen, General Chen, Du Yuhou, Master Chen, King Wei, and King Pinglu County. Although he has different names in each period and has changed a lot at different times, the background of this character has never changed. For example, when Xiao Jin was about to shoot the little eunuch's hat with an arrow, Chen Zeming stopped him and said: "The iron arrow should only point to the enemy." After the ups and downs of the officialdom, he still has his true heart. He has a knife in his hand but a Buddha in his heart (it may not be an appropriate description, but the meaning is right). This is also one of his most unforgettable and beautiful qualities. No matter how he changes, as Tou Da said, Chen Zeming is always the right side. He served two emperors The king always starts from "loyalty", even if he goes from trusting to being doubted (Ding), and from trusting to being doubted (Jin), he repeats the same mistakes several times, and is still doubted after painstaking efforts, and still accepts orders when the country is in danger at the end, because from the beginning to the end, his wish has always been to meet a wise king and then serve the country. The emperor is just a link for him to realize his ideals and ambitions. In his opinion, anyone can sit on that dragon throne. Let's talk about the emotional line between Xiao and Chen. It feels like the two people have always missed two lines. In the first volume, it felt like the emotions between the two were still hazy. Xiao only had a sense of playfulness and hatred for Chen at this time, while Chen could only choose to bear the overwhelming hatred for Xiao, and a new relationship was born after Xiao reused himself. There were some good feelings (including gratitude to Xiao for entrusting him with the important responsibilities, loyalty to the king as a minister, and sometimes being influenced by the iron-blooded emperor's occasional warmth that was different from ordinary people), but all of these disappeared after the fire in the Queen Mother Palace and could not be found anywhere. Although the fire was a fatal blow to Chen and the trigger that completely destroyed their relationship, it feels like Chen has truly experienced a completely reborn growth since then. Either die in silence or explode in silence. Obviously, Chen chose the latter. He completely believed that loyalty was a joke and began to get rid of the shackles of loyalty to the emperor. This was also an important node where his thoughts began to grow rapidly. The cold and hard-hearted King Wei began to slowly take shape from this time on. The entire first volume feels like it is mainly about narrative, with less words describing the emotional line between the two. After Xiao was imprisoned in Jinghua Palace in the second volume, the two of them and the readers had time to carefully review their relationship. One sentence to describe it: This hatred lasts forever. Rather than reviewing their relationship in detail, it is better to review their hatred in detail. Their relationship must be based on hatred, and "love" is just a derivative that grows on the basis of hatred. But in the third volume, which is the last part of this article, the two people's mentality has undergone a major change: in the end, Chen has no love or hatred, and he has completed his own growth and transformation. This is why although many people are complaining, I always agree that this book does count as Chen's personal hero novel. On the other hand, Xiao, after a lot of things happened, he saw his own feelings clearly. His "love" was just a little clearer, but Chen "died". After half a life, he was unable to retain anything as a nine-five-year-old man. He seemed to have countless things but had nothing, and finally ended up with a painful life. Okay, that's all for now. This book is always new to me when I read it. It is a good book worth savoring and chewing over and over again. I believe I will have new feelings every time in the future. I would also like to thank Touda for creating such a magnificent story for our readers, such a beautiful Chen Zeming and such a love-hate couple. Finally, I would like to say: It's been 26 years, why don't Touda consider adding more extras? I really miss you. . (Cry)
