Blurb 1:
Li Shao has always been proud and self-possessed, aloof by nature. He never thought he would one day go mad over a little ant...
Everyone warned him, "To love too dearly is to pay too dearly; to hoard too much is to lose it all."
How could he not know that? But she was always right there in front of him.
He could hold back for a while, but not forever.
If you spend enough time walking by the river, you'll eventually get your shoes wet. Sooner or later, Li Shao was bound to take a fall...
Content warning: Female lead is a virgin; male lead is not.
Blurb 2:
Everyone says that Prince Zhong, Li Shao, is kind, gentle, humble, and refined, with a handsome bearing much like the late emperor. He is a blessing to the realm.
And what about Yuan Tao?
People say she's a lowly slave, a rat in a dark sewer, unfit for the light of day.
To stay alive, she's done anything and everything: wagging her tail for scraps, even turning on her own kind.
Pei Yun says, "Yuan Tao, you should be grateful to Prince Zhong for his kindness and generosity. He taught you to read and write, and taught you right from wrong."
But only Yuan Tao knows that Li Shao is the real demon, hiding beneath a human face...
A seemingly gentle but secretly ruthless hero vs. a seemingly ruthless but secretly gentle heroine
Content warning: Male lead is not a virgin; female lead is.
An alternate-history Tang Dynasty setting, with characters drawn from various sources. Happy ending.
Premise: Never fear hardship. Grow resilient, and make yourself stronger.
Li Shao not only has sex but also loves Mao Tao, but in this relationship, his love for her is not the most important thing. He has too many other things to consider. For example, after returning to Chang'an, perhaps in order to win over the favored Wu and Yang families of the courtiers. Li had hesitated twice before between power, even his country, and Mao Tao. Once, he bluntly told the princess that he wanted to go to prison to rescue someone. As long as the maid falsely spread the news, people would be discovered. At that time, he still did it. The other time I wanted to go back to Chang'an to find someone, but in the end I didn't go. If there is no Maotao, the most suitable partner for him to take this path is like Wei Shi, who does not talk about romance or love, but only depends on whether they can win to the end. The only thing between the two is respect, and there is no need to weigh the scales in Li Shao's heart with power. He was willing to let her go several times, and he was already a rare person who could pity his partner. It's just that one moment Li Zong was risking his life for Mao Tao, and the next moment he returned with the intention of winning once, he just wanted to separate the country, and he must patrol eastward. The change is too fast. Although people have choices, if this happens in the future, they should cherish their lives and never look back. I turned around and saw the tragic situation in Chang'an, but I didn't send troops to save the people later. Like a child who only has his mind and has not been taught. You can't just remember that you are of royal blood when you want to seize power, and then forget about it when you see the suffering of the people. After the failure, what can I do if I leave? It is difficult to recover, and it is impossible to live a normal life. Li Qi cannot be trusted. Since Mao Tao was with the prince, he knew that the journey was not easy. The prince only had troops after he went west. The Yan army fought all the way to Chang'an and the troops were strong. It was not easy for the prince to capture Chang'an. Maotao saw the conversation after seeing the tragic situation in Luoyang, and seemed to have lost her mind after being stimulated. Once the output was released, it seemed as if the previous companionship was all fake. There are also times when her analysis of current events seems to have been steeped in politics, and there are times when her judgment of things seems to be without any scheming. I think it is difficult for these two states to appear in one person at the same time. It gave me the impression that it was about her ignorance, but it conflicted with the well-known people and things in other places. The person who has the least intention for Mao Tao is Shaye. He knew that he was going to die, and many of his actions cannot be treated as ordinary people. After being forced into the game, I have been blessed with great fortune and great fortune till now. It is useless to think too much. Let's live the rest of our lives well.
I finished reading it in three days. The first part was quite interesting, but after the male and female protagonists were introduced, I felt a little lacking in stamina? (I really liked the tension in the middle 🐰~ It made me squeal) The male protagonist is not unclean (ahhhhh) Everything else is acceptable (I like the male protagonist who likes both kings, mountains and beauties). As for the female protagonist, I would like it more if she kept her character from the Tubo period. She has been weakened a lot since she was brought back to Prince Zhong's palace. The ending of her being just a royal concubine also made me a little heartbroken. Bai Yueguang Shaye was also quite unsatisfying. I was already addicted to it and only then did I realize that it wasn't the male protagonist. As for Li Lin, in this kind of heroic novel, there really can't be a lot of young people with high spirits. This article is indeed very interesting. I haven't read an article in one sitting for a long time, and I still have more to say.
I really hope that I will stick to writing according to my own ideas. There are too few male protagonists of this type in Jinjiang now. In order to cater to the mainstream, they have become mindless pets.
I actually finished watching it. When will the teacher make a side story? 😭 😭 The ending went by too fast and the male and female protagonists reunited. The plot ended abruptly. It was not enough to watch 🥺
When I first read it, I didn't know that it had historical shadows. Later, I accidentally saw that, except for Yuan Tao, many of them had real names and shadows. Crown Princess Wei Shi and Mrs. Du both really existed, including the stories told in the book. The various difficulties faced by the prince during his period, such as the An-Shi Rebellion, borrowing troops to return to Hehe, etc., Are all traceable. History is too cruel, so I basically don't read novels adapted from history, because when I read history, I feel that the novel is too understated and does not match the character selection at that time. It cannot be well substituted. After reading this book at the end, I felt that it might be history, haha! Xiao Yuantao is a made-up character. The author dragged her into this period of history and may have wanted to write a different story. When I read it, I couldn't feel the romance, only the machinations and the evidence that they lived. But for me, it is also very rewarding to look back at the people and things that existed in history. It is a pity that Li Shao is not as exciting as the characters in the article. His greatest achievement seems to be to put down the Anshi Rebellion. Therefore, the more than 20 kings of the Tang Dynasty have basically not been heard of since the Anshi Rebellion. With the help of Da Dawen and Xiao Maotao, we have a little glimpse of the traces of historical existence! 🐶🌹🐶🌹 Wait for the extra chapter! [666][666]
I think the change in the character's behavior choices is a bit abrupt, and the title looks a little strange. Using historical figures and stories can sometimes make the story you create lack a sense of mystery. Creation is not easy, thank you for your perseverance.
I want to watch the extras of if line be 😭 After watching it, I feel a little aggrieved. I still prefer male supporting actors like Li Linchaye who are devoted to the heroine 😭
Damn, when will it be updated? 😭 😭
The author's writing style is very good and antique, allowing people to immerse themselves in that era without being distracted at all. The author's ability to write stories can be seen from Yuantao Lishan Killing the Wolf. The only flaw is that the heroine in the latter part has too few highlight moments, resulting in a lack of tension. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is a bit sparse, and the final chapter ends abruptly. I look forward to the author writing more exciting ancient novels in the future. The author is totally capable of this!
When will the sweet extra story be updated 😭 😭 😭
