Blurb:
Her father was the Grand Marshal, her mother a Grand Princess. Cui Qi was born the most dazzling flower among all people, standing high above the crowd.
But on her wedding night, her husband, Xi Han, a man of humble origins and leader of a rebel army, received a dispatch from the front. Before the wedding ceremony was even finished, he hurried away.
And he was gone for a whole year.
A year later, Xi Han returned.
Swallowing her anger and humiliation, Cui Qi stood tall with all the poise and dignity of a noblewoman from a great family. She swept out her sleeve and declared, "I'll go ask His Majesty to issue an edict for our divorce!"
Xi Han paused briefly, then replied with a calm expression, "A Qi, do you blame me for not being by your side this past year? I was certainly in the wrong. Rest assured, from now on, I won't leave you alone in our chambers again."
Cui Qi raised a slender finger and pointed at him as he calmly lowered the bed curtains. Wide-eyed and trembling, she stammered, "You, you scoundrel..."
Xi Han had always known that the woman he married was a genuine caged songbird:
Noble by birth, beautiful, and graceful. As long as he kept her in a cage, he would have nothing to worry about.
Later, he learned that even the most beautiful and noble bird might fly out of its cage if you didn't watch it carefully.
He had no choice but to keep watch day and night, pampering her with the utmost care.
A noblewoman from a great family x leader of a rebel army

Blurb:
Lizhi transmigrated into the role of a notorious beauty who would bring down a dynasty.
When she came of age at fifteen, Prince Rui fell in love with her at first sight,
then begged and pleaded with the Empress Dowager to arrange their marriage.
On her wedding day at sixteen, the current emperor fell in love with her at first sight,
then resorted to any means necessary to steal his younger brother's wife and keep her in a gilded cage.
Once she won his favor, she became the noble consort everyone envied.
Only she knew that three years later, the emperor and Prince Rui would become bitter enemies, and the once powerful empire would be plunged into war.
As for her, the noble consort would be branded the beauty who brought down the dynasty, the woman blamed for everything.
In the end, she would be buried alive on the road while fleeing.
To escape that fate, Lizhi turned her attention to Pei Ji, the young military governor of Hedong.
At first, when Pei Ji looked at the seductive beauty who curled her fingers around his and flirted with him, he scoffed and watched her coldly, his whole demeanor radiating disdain.
Later, though he knew she was nothing but a hypocritical woman, putting on an act and scheming beneath the surface, he found himself unable to hold back his concern and jealousy.
On the road to escape, a hundred thousand soldiers blocked the way and knelt before the emperor, demanding that he execute the noble consort.
The emperor was torn with reluctance, but still offered her a length of white silk. "My beloved consort, take your own life."
Lizhi turned and threw herself into Pei Ji's arms.
The young military governor of Hedong gazed at the beautiful woman sobbing like a rain-soaked pear blossom. One thought turned him into a demon. He led his rebel army all the way to Chang'an, then personally carried her to the throne and made her empress.

I always read articles, so I couldn't help but leave a message today, because I haven't seen such pure ancient sayings in a long time. The writing is excellent, the language is simple and elegant, and the writing is natural and smooth. What is even more rare is that even if it is an imaginary subject, it is not made up at all. The historical references are clear at a glance. The parts involving war strategies are also well-conceived and logical. In short, he is really a very serious and responsible author. The regrets are that the characterization is a bit thin, the personality is slightly lacking, and the overall appeal is insufficient. I also read through several articles and found that almost all of them are set in rebirth, and the characters of the male and female protagonists are also similar. I hope to make breakthroughs in future creations. The author must work hard!
I always feel that forgiveness is too easy. Although the male protagonist misunderstood the female protagonist in his previous life, it was too miserable. The female protagonist's father was still the male protagonist's benefactor, but the male protagonist treated the female protagonist in this way. I always feel that the male protagonist should be abused more.
Actually, the second male lead, Yuan Shuo, is pretty good.
According to my preferences, in the first few chapters of this article, I should have been persuaded to leave by the character of the male protagonist, but because the writing is so good, I have been reluctant to leave. Then I found that the more I looked at it, the better it looked. Now that I think about it, I'm glad I didn't leave at that time hhhhh
This surname is chi... Chi Shijun chi Hanzi chi read... Hahahaha I laugh for a long time every time I read it The author's story is very good
The writing is really great, but the female protagonist can easily forgive the male protagonist for being upset! The book is called Canary, so it is easier for the female protagonist to forgive the male protagonist. Although there are various misunderstandings in the middle. . I really don't like the male lead! When I saw the ending, I always felt that the male protagonist would be in San Gong and Six Yards in a few years. Anyway, the female protagonist had a good temper and went back with a finger.
Can a child over one year old speak so smoothly? I have to think about my son
The female protagonist forgives the male protagonist too easily, and she doesn't chase his wife much at the crematorium. The male protagonist is simply not a human being in his previous life. If he were a human being, he would not abandon someone without asking a word, nor would he just write a letter of divorce. The heroine's pain in the previous life was all caused by him. It is really unbelievable that she forgives the male protagonist so easily in this life. If he died to atone for his sins in his previous life, I can barely read him. This is the fourth book I have read by the author. The male protagonists in the previous books were all very good. The male protagonist in this book is really annoying. To be honest, this kind of person does not deserve to be the male protagonist. I read novels that are more tolerant to the male protagonist, but in my opinion, the male protagonist in this book is not worthy of forgiveness at all, it is so hateful.
"Later he talked about that day when he was..." This really caught the author's eye~
After re-watching it, I feel that there is always an unfamiliar atmosphere between the male and female protagonists. Although they have experienced two lives and have children, they are more polite and less affectionate in their daily interactions. Maybe it is because the female protagonist is a weak person.
