[Entry statement for the "Rise Again and Strike Back from the Brink" writing contest]: In this story, the heroine Shen Xizhun appears to be the most honored princess of the Great Han, but in truth she is merely a fig leaf concealing the sordid underside of imperial power. From birth, she has been an eyesore to those in power. She lives in constant danger, where an order from someone above her can make her live or die at any moment. She seems to possess a life of wealth and luxury beyond anyone's imagination, but she is just as beset by terror as anyone could imagine. From childhood through adolescence, she has never been able to live without constant caution, struggling to survive until she finally comes of age.
As an adult, she faces new hardships. The newly enthroned emperor watches her like a hawk, and to stay alive she can only choose to marry far away to a fiefdom. But marriage is a gamble: her beloved can tell her he loves her even as he hurts her without hesitation. She looks around in confusion, unable to understand what her life is for. She wants to escape, but finds every step difficult, until one day she turns around and realizes that she has long been bound by invisible threads, the other ends held firmly in someone's hand. It is the emperor, supreme and exalted above all others. It turns out that from beginning to end, he has been manipulating her in the palm of his hand. Unwilling to accept her fate or submit any longer, the heroine learns to use her advantages to take revenge, punish the villains, and strike back from the brink.

[Announcement]: This story has been thoroughly revised. The content will generally no longer be changed.
★★★Continuing the blurb:
Liu Gua once thought that not having Shen Xizhun bear him a child was the greatest regret of his life. Only later did he learn that this regret was one of the greatest blessings of his life.
It was not her hatred of him, nor the fact that she had once married someone else. When they met on the streets of Chang'an, the palace stood tall behind its nine gates, and the familiar scenery seemed as peaceful as ever. Yet nothing stays the same, and people toy with fate. Even as the emperor, supreme ruler of the realm, he could not escape the grudges and schemes left behind by the previous generation.
Had he known how things would turn out, when he first met her, he would never have dared to stand there and gaze at her.
*A little scene:
"Princess Consort, please eat something. Your refusal to eat or drink has the emperor very worried!"
"He ought to be worried about me." Shen Xizhun smiled and said, "Because I'm going to get back at him."
Obsessive, devoted emperor male lead x heroine forced to turn dark.

Happy reading! (^o^)
Theme: Though my body may die, my soul will not fade; even Heaven feels my grief, pouring down like rain. Alas, I am trapped in this world, and the fate of a beautiful woman is truly sorrowful. Regret and hatred lodge in my throat forever, beyond redemption in Heaven or on Earth. I only hope that in the next life we will never meet, and that we will never cross paths again!
A story about a stud male protagonist, a female protagonist, and two best friends who betrayed her. Oh, and the heroine's cowardly husband. Moreover, the author gave up on the story. I just ate shit.
The article is really good, but why does Liu Gou have to do it? Everyone has been hurt so badly by him. Will his conscience feel pain when he wakes up from his dream in the middle of the night?
The story has basically come to an end. It's a pity that we can't see the tragic ending of Hou and Widow.
Very well written! When I saw the title of the article, I thought of the sentence "I am often ill." Perhaps for Zhun Zhun, death is also a kind of relief. The first encounter at Daan Temple was wrong from the beginning, but without this first encounter, it would have been impossible to escape the turn of fate. "When you want to be clean, why should you be clean?" Is also a poem from Red Mansions, and it is also applicable to the heroine. In the feudal era, the pain caused by the oppression of the imperial power and the secular world is quite heartbreaking. The so-called "Han Emperor's favorite woman" is just a cover. Liu Widow would only feel pity after losing her, just like he did to Su, but this does not necessarily mean that his emotions contain a lot of love. They must be more of desire and possessiveness. Isn't that true for Zhizhun? The emperor of Han Dynasty only loves himself the most. As for the second male prince, I have a kind of pitiful hatred towards him. It is tragic that he and Zhun Zhun finally got married after many discussions but could not escape the oppression of the imperial power, but it is hateful to think that Zhun Zhun does not know the truth. In just 400,000 words, he wrote about the oppression of power. The revenge that Zhunzhun has been planning for many years is also a redemption for himself. If there is an afterlife, I hope that "the child will be foolish and reckless, and he will be able to come to the government without any disasters." The paper is full of absurd words, but no one knows how bitter they are; I harbor eternal hatred, and I am often ill. I hope the author will work hard and look forward to seeing more such excellent works in Jinjiang!
So the male protagonist kills the female protagonist and sends the second male protagonist out to fight, but the second male protagonist never returns? Why does the male protagonist take advantage of all the good things?
Can the male lead and the second male lead be killed? Can Liu Wei die? It's so disgusting that I'm speechless. If the female lead dies but the male lead doesn't die, I'm really speechless!!!!!
The writing is really good, but the plot is really disgusting. It makes me angry to death?
When I saw the ending, I was glad that I jumped to watch it, and I could completely feel the heroine's unwillingness. She was deceived by two men who claimed to love her for more than 20 years. She was infertile and had no children for the rest of her life, but was deceived into raising a daughter for the male protagonist's mistress. Hate it so much! I just hate why the heroine didn't directly stab the hero to death and expose his disgusting face of raping his sister and having an affair with his brother and sister-in-law in front of the people. Since then, I have given up on it. No wonder I read it three or four times before reading this article. It turns out that it is not in line with my five elements. . Glad I didn't waste too much time on this novel! What a rubbish ending! What a rubbish male protagonist!
This book makes people feel uncomfortable when reading it. It was like eating a fly. Liu Wei's feelings for Su really made me uncomfortable. I regret opening this book.
Is this a whitewash? So disgusting, this male protagonist is such a scumbag
