The protagonist has a fiancée and will use a beauty trap. He’ll be moved by all sorts of strange things, but there won’t be many romantic subplots, since the romance is all in service of the plot.
The protagonist is just an ordinary person who isn’t very clever.
Not a feel-good story.
Entirely fictional setting.
[Blurb One]
I’ve always thought I had a bit of cleverness about me. When it came to social graces and career advancement, I had a sensitivity, sense of proportion, and polish beyond what others could manage. I’d always believed that one day I’d rise to the very top of the court.
Everything was perfect.
[Blurb Two]
When the new emperor of Great Xia ascended the throne, he appointed a young man as chancellor to keep the cabinet in check.
At the same time, he stirred the ambitions of countless scholars, all eager to try their luck.
Once you enter officialdom, you have no choice but to go with the flow. I was repeatedly framed and slandered, and repeatedly witnessed injustice, cruelty, and unrighteousness. Though I wanted to fight back, I was powerless. The road upstream was full of forks and peril. I could only try and see whether I could break through the brambles and reach the heights, as he had. I could only try and see whether I could hold on to a little sincerity amid this bloodless slaughter.
My name is Meng Feiyuan, and I’m devoting myself to earning the title of Chancellor Meng.
[In One Sentence] The whole process of an ordinary person getting (ab)used and (be)aten into shape by society
Theme: Never forget your original aspirations
After watching the extra episode today, I have been wanting to write something. After reading the comments from the brother Rong Miaomiao No. 2 And Ming Chengzhi's eldest wife, I think it's time to write something. Their opinions are very different from mine. If "Generals" is read in four tones, and the later chapters are read, it seems that it can also be said about Admiral Zhao and Feng Xiang: the grace of knowing each other is largely undescribed. In fact, there is a kind of friendship between the two of them that a scholar would die for a confidant. If it is read in one sentence, it means that Meng Feiyuan entered the capital and made great efforts to become the prime minister. The last tea that Feng Xiang gave Meng Feiyuan to drink was Feishan, also called Baiyuntian. No matter what it was called, there was a saying: "Three floats and three sinks. When the temperature is cold, you can drink it." In fact, it also corresponds to Meng Feiyuan's life? The first ups and downs: Shenglantai - going to Danzhou The second ups and downs: Return to the capital—to Xiliang The third time may be more focused on his thoughts: trying his best to defend the capital - choosing to resign under the sudden emptiness Meng Feiyuan accepted the severe beatings from society, which is what he called the catastrophe of ninety-nine and eighty-one years. Now he should be detached and look away. In fact, the officialdom is a place where people gather because of benefits and disperse when benefits are exhausted. Therefore, I am more opposed to what Rong Miaomiao No. 2 Said about Meng Feiyuan being exploited in the early stage and getting some points in the later stage. If they are used, they are meant to be used by each other. He also knew that the Holy Emperor was on guard against him, but what he wanted to take advantage of was that even if the Holy Emperor was on guard, he would also use his thoughts to climb up the ladder and strive to be sent as envoy to Xiliang later. He was also using the two princes and Feng Xiang. That is to say, to put it bluntly, in officialdom, people use you because they think highly of you. You can use it, which shows that you are a material that can be made. Ming Chengzhi was also using Meng Feiyuan. The extra story made it very clear that it was Linyuan Hou and his family who wanted to overthrow King Yinchuan. On one point, they had reached an agreement with His Majesty - King Yinchuan would definitely lose in this situation, and His Majesty was a master of planning. Feng Xiang is a variable. In the final analysis, it is because Shen Changan is a variable. Feng Xiang's plan is different from that of King Yin Chuan, and we can walk together on this journey - in this case, the outcome is uncertain, and the Holy Emperor is more likely to lose. Then Meng Feiyuan became a variable. So both parties wanted to win over him - King Yinchuan sent Ruobai. Later I also thought about why a man was asked to seduce a man with a normal sexual orientation. Later, when it came to the Jianghu sect, I understood. Women may not necessarily have such a tenacious and thoughtful mind. The most important thing is that women are easy to be emotional, so Xue Fang was specially chosen to compare with Ruo Bai. Ming Chengzhi also wants to win over and go to the end personally. With Qing Jin by his side, it seems that he has a greater chance of winning. Feng Xiang always had the mentality of watching a show, sometimes pushing here, sometimes pushing there. Feng Xiang should have once been a great scholar who was full of peace and security policies and had great talents in governing the world. However, the suspicion and checks and balances of the Holy Emperor completely turned Feng Xiang into a dark person. I can actually understand Feng Xiang... To make a digression, if possible, I would also like to marry Feng Xiang! His nature should be that he doesn't want the world to fall, so he deliberately exposed his flaws to Meng Feiyuan in Danzhou. Feeling sorry for him. So Meng Feiyuan has always been someone else's pawn. From the beginning, he was ignorant of being used by others, to learning to use others while being used by others, accepting such interactive relationships in the officialdom, and finally using others. I dare to change the title of the article and call it "The Counterattack of a Chess Piece". Meng Feiyuan keeps growing. He sees more and more clearly, and his heart becomes calmer and calmer. In the first chapter, he was willing to stay in the capital at the cost of his life. By the end of the extra chapter, he was wearing cotton clothes and carrying Qing Jin. Qing Jin called him Young Master and left the capital, or Chang'an. He really saw clearly that he should not stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time. Or maybe it was Feng Xiang's experience that made him understand that this place that everyone envied was not necessarily a good place. Looking at it this way, Qing Jin is actually a pretty good servant. Although he was a little good at avenging Linyuan Marquis, he finally returned to his true nature and followed Meng Feiyuan. Alas, no one is right or wrong, they just have different positions. In the text, "I want to break through the thorns and climb to the top like him, and retain a trace of sincerity in the bloodless fight." Now I understand. Ming Chengzhi's eldest lady is right when she says that among the three supporting characters, Feng Xiang has the most profound influence on him. It's hard to calm down. Above.
Tired of seeing various time-travel gestures and golden fingers, I finally watched the life of such an ordinary ancient native who was a little clever. The first-person perspective is also very interesting. The quality of the completion is very high. There is no God's perspective. It feels good to be down-to-earth. Many developments are unexpected and reasonable, and the viewing experience is very comfortable.
It took me a long time to finish watching it again. Every character is very full. In fact, I sent a private message to hope to see more stories from Meng Feiyuan, but the ending here does have a more complete sense of completion.
The second prince still knows how to regret it. This boss is really crazy.
Lifelong venison shadow ah this is
To be honest, at the beginning, I didn't like this novel very much. Maybe it was because at the beginning, I couldn't accept a man's love for another man, even if it was a life-saving grace. At that time, I thought more about surviving and being grateful, right? It's not like that, just my humble opinion. Everything is difficult at the beginning, difficult in the middle, and then difficult at the end. Probably influenced by the opening chapter, I couldn't read the article carefully until Xue Fang's death. I actually liked Xue Fang. Although she didn't write much, in my eyes, she was both beautiful and miserable. That's why I suggested you not to write about her having an affair with someone else, and not to have any ambiguity about it. This will destroy some things in my heart. This kind of thing cannot be touched. If I write it, I will abandon it at that time. Maybe it's because in my eyes, there are still many beautiful things in the world. When others see darkness in their eyes, I prefer to believe that the world is still beautiful, and I am still willing to love the world. That's too far. The male protagonist is not a biological child. He entered the capital lying down when he first entered the capital. He has no money and no backing. He has an average brain, is indecisive and stupid, and has to survive on his own. I don't know who is really good to me. There are traps everywhere. If I don't pay attention, I will be tricked. All I have left is a little cleverness and quick wit. Ruobai saved his life, but he was trapped for the rest of his life. He abandoned his wife and offended King Yinchuan. He became distracted and frustrated again and again. Fortunately, I still have some friends. Ariake-sama has always been optimistic about him. Thinking about Xiao Meng, he is also very pitiful. He fell into the trap of seduction, lost his new wife, was deceived by servants, was guarded by the emperor, and was tricked by others. I feel like the only one I can rely on in the later stage is Xiao Ding, who loves to tell cold jokes. There is a whole book of foreshadowing about Feng Xiang, infatuation is always hurt by ruthlessness, what is infatuated is the love of Chang'an, what is hurt is the ruthlessness of the royal family. In the end, infatuation is better, and overwhelming power is no match for a touch of tenderness. It seems that Xiao Meng's sense of presence was quite low throughout the whole process. He was always showing off whether he was a human or a ghost, and only Xiao Meng was being beaten. In the later stage, after Master Ming gave some advice, I finally got the idea. In fact, he has always been considered a smart person, but he really has no talent in politics. The main reason is that people's hearts are too complicated and Xiao Meng is too simple. Fortunately, in the end, everyone is happy. Congratulations on the completion, scatter flowers to celebrate?
I specially guarded the claw machine to wait for the update, I'll mess with it~ After reading all the way to the end, I finally believed that my Lord Ming was a supporting character for the third time, and he was still guarding Danzhou until the last chapter~ In fact, if it were not for the limitation of the perspective, Lord Ming should have had many scenes (stop! That is a group portrait!), And this text focuses more on using what Lao Meng saw to interpret the turmoil during the replacement of the emperor. When he was young, he should have been a man who knew everything, but when he got older, he started to become confused. Even the wisest people began to be capricious and have a childish temper (I think I mentioned this in the article, haha!). The face of the emperor in June, and what impressed me most was that the emperor wore shoes with open insteps for a period of time. I checked it out, and that's what the shoes meant! And the boots that everyone else is wearing! At that time, His Majesty's health began to deteriorate! After the dryness is over, it starts to feel empty, hahaha, what a detailed foreshadowing! I also want to talk about Feng Xiang. This person is a bit like the male protagonist of Xiaoyan. Although there is not much description of his appearance, my impression is that he is a kind, generous and amiable middle-aged man. The most terrible thing is that he is so affectionate! If Shen Changan hadn't died! I really want to read their articles! One person wrote in blood and begged to write Feng Yuting vs. Shen Changan in big letters! (Try to write it as he. I have already thought about the ending. Shen Changan faked his death. In order to win over Feng Xiang, King Yinchuan rescued Shen Changan. He was waiting for a suitable opportunity to hold Feng Xiang in his hands. As a result, Lao Meng and Fang Xueshi found out the whereabouts of Shen Changan through Jiang Hu Ke and Tiefu Tu, and told Feng Xiang before they did. They happily reached a deal with Feng Xiang, so Feng Xiang also faked his death!) As for Ruo Bai, this person makes people hate him so much. From the article, Ji Le Sect Ji Xiang Fan, Ruo Bai is a descendant of Ming Ying? Ha, as expected, the sect has lost its heritage, all because the villains are causing chaos! (One person's blood letter begs Ming Ying and Jian Yubai! The first time I read a tragedy novel, I was blocked! When will it be released? Ahhh!) The protagonist is placed at the end, Lao Meng is an ordinary person. The copywriting said that this is the process of an ordinary person being beaten by society. In fact, it was quite difficult for him, and he was beaten all the way. At first he tried his best to integrate into the capital, but later became Prime Minister Meng as he wished. How does it feel? Is it empty? He is surrounded by amazing and talented people, and these people's way of thinking and dealing with people are affecting him, but I just feel that Feng Xiang has the most influence. So let's study the ranking of supporting roles. Ruobai comes first, because Ruobai is the turning point of Lao Meng's character. Feng Xiang is second, because Feng Xiang has influenced Lao Meng a lot. Mingcheng's third, because Mingcheng tried to influence Lao Meng with his own charm, he was initially defeated by Ruobai, and after Lao Meng returned to the capital, he was defeated by Feng Xiang, but he succeeded briefly in the middle. Is this how I understand it? Finally, congratulations on the completion! Wait for the new article! (I love the Palace Marquis so much!)
After reading Sahua??, It is a very solid novel, and I can see that the author really put his heart into it.
I can't understand anymore, I'm not smart enough anymore
Why both Feng Xiang and Master Ming act as if You Xin is an extraordinary person in their eyes, I can't understand.
