He's just the son of a merchant, with ordinary looks, a humble family background, little talent for conversation, and a serious expression. If he has any redeeming quality, it's probably his impressive skill with his hands.
But in this life, she has made a solemn vow never to judge people by their looks again.
Did she finally recognize a true gem, or has she misjudged him once more?
Only time will tell.

Contemporary romance serial: Kiss of Thorns
Qin Yanyu first met Qi Hanyan on a stormy day.
The hem of her damp skirt swayed into his view, like a ghostly purple iris, quiet and unassuming, yet stirring the imagination.
Much later, at a party, she confessed to him in front of everyone. Her red lips and bright eyes radiated such dazzling beauty that she brought to mind a wild rose in full, unrestrained bloom.
In the eyes of others, reserved and self-possessed Qin Yanyu must have been won over by Qi Hanyan only after she tried every trick in the book.
Only Qin Yanyu knew that every flutter of his heart had come from his own choosing.
No matter how much he refused on the surface, all she had to do was cast him a light glance, and his heart would tremble and ring in response.
Until the night he was ready to accept her, when he heard her admit to him that all she wanted was to watch him become infatuated and fall apart, to use him and toy with him.
Her approach had been planned from the start; her affection was nothing but petty revenge.
She had carefully laid her plans, just to savor the moment he was brought low.
It was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, finally waking him up.
Only then did he realize she was neither a purple iris nor a wild rose.
She was clearly a thicket of black brambles, born in the mire, covered in thorns, dangerous and desolate.
He couldn't cut through the vast tangle of thorns, yet he couldn't bear to leave her either.
He might as well risk everything.
Even if he bled profusely, even if it meant eternal ruin.

Hey, is Wei Wenzi the male protagonist's mother? Those two words are invisible. These operations are like the breath of a time traveler... It seems that the relationship between the heroine and the hero in the previous life has not yet been solved. Why did the heroine dream of him, hear his voice, and smell the scent of the hero when she died in the first life?
Really pretty! The author's writing style is very good, and the characters of each person are also well created. The protagonist has upright views and does not hurt innocent people for revenge. But the male protagonist's appearance is really online!!! Don't be misled by the introduction. That is what the male protagonist looks like after he has changed his clothes (spoilers below). I was almost misled by the introduction, but luckily I finally watched it.
Let's rate the last chapter first. It's so good. I accidentally clicked on it and couldn't read it anymore. Thank you, it's free!! It's been a long time since I've seen an ancient saying that I can understand! Big awesome!!
Thanks for the free!! So pretty!
Goodbye, looking forward to your next story.
Congratulations on the ending. After watching it all the way, I don't even feel like it has been 3 years. I remember that it seemed that you were taking exams, and now I have stopped updating every now and then. I finally see that Su'e and her family are doing well. I have to read it from the beginning again when I have time. I feel like a lot of the previous content is blurred. Will the author consider writing a side story? I think what is the fate of many characters, past and present, such as the prince's sister, why is Jinglan so interested in Su'e? And Zhao Zhan, is he really dead? What about the fate of everyone in previous lives?
The black-hearted scumbag is the prince of an enemy country, and the timeline has been extended by another year. I'm scared to death. With this plot, I almost thought that the eldest prince had something in mind for the heroine's aunt.
Sigh, the emperor is also very cruel. The young couple has reached this point, and they can also kill the imperial sister who has great kindness...
Come back, it's November~
It's okay, it's okay. Take your time.
