Main story complete. New novel, The Beauty of the Eastern Palace, now underway: the road to splendor, from palace maid to imperial consort.
1. After her family falls into decline, Shen Qingyun seeks refuge at a marquis's estate.
Beneath her cool demeanor lies breathtaking beauty. The moment she enters the estate, she draws countless eyes, which is no good thing for a woman from a fallen family.
So she treads carefully, always on her guard. Few people know that behind closed doors, this young lady from a fallen family has long been sharing the heir's bed.
Their secret relationship lasts for half a year.
Lately, Shen Qingyun has found it increasingly hard to bear. The lofty heir is nothing like the rumors claim: he is neither detached from worldly desires nor indifferent to women.
On the contrary, he is possessive and petty. He cannot even stand her glancing at another man.
So whenever the heir calls her to his study at night, she wonders how to tell him they should end things once and for all. But by the next morning, when she sees his familiar face, she cannot bring herself to say a word.
Back then, she naively believed that as long as he had that face, she would love him forever.
But when Jiang Yutang said he wanted to make their relationship public, and even marry her,
Shen Qingyun finally understood: no matter how closely Jiang Yutang's face resembled his, he was ultimately not that person.
She left without a trace, with not a shred of regret.
2.
The newly crowned top scholar, Jiang Yutang, is noble in status and has a brilliant future ahead. Naturally, people in official circles are eager to curry favor with him. Knowing he has no one by his side, not even a personal attendant, some people come up with ways to send him beautiful women.
Without exception, he turns them all away.
As time passes, rumors spread that he has no interest in women and prefers men.
The rumors grow ever wider. Then, at a drinking party, a tipsy Jiang Yutang hears them and lazily curls his lips, but makes no effort to deny them.
That night, a carriage from the Yongchang Marquis's estate stops outside a small courtyard on the outskirts of the capital.
The drunken heir pushes open a hidden door. Inside the dim room, a woman is bound hand and foot, her cool beauty utterly captivating. Jiang Yutang leans against the doorframe and suddenly smiles.
He has experienced the most exquisite pleasures, and loved the most heartless woman.
Content warnings:
A melodramatic body-double trope, with coercive possession. No groveling arc.
1. The heroine is adored by everyone; the hero is truly a stand-in, and he is pure in both body and heart.
2. The leads sleep together before marriage. Please do not read if this bothers you.
Theme: Lies cannot last forever; only true feelings endure.
I don't want to watch the extra story about Jiang Shangshang. I want to watch the extra story about Shen Shaoqing's rebirth.
Has his replacement taken over? No.
So what does the title mean?
Author, you are mistaken about the male protagonist. The male protagonist is General Shen. It would be good to write about the two of them directly. I don't feel that the heroine likes Persimmon. Persimmon doesn't know how to love the heroine. He has been imprisoned and self-harmed. It's better to be a tragedy.
What I think is the strangest thing is that in the first 100 chapters, Jiang is all about plundering and plundering, trying to get in the way of others, and cheating on his family background, IQ, and career. The friendship I had with my uncle was just respect when I was young. As a result, as soon as his uncle came back, Jiang suddenly turned into a well-behaved and submissive nephew. His uncle abducted his wife without even snatching her away. In the end, when his wife ran away from the marriage, she said, "Ah, that's how it should be, I'll let it go." The whole character of the hero collapsed! ! ! The last time I saw a work that I squinted my eyes to finish was the diurnal shooting star...
Who is the hero? Did the author make a mistake? Is this HE? The only thing wrong with Persimmon is that he has the same face as the real male protagonist.
I thought the chapter in May was finished, but I didn't expect there was more, so let's briefly talk about it. I have always supported Shen Shaoqing because Jiang Yutang has no comparison with him. The ending of this story written specifically for Jiang Yutang can be regarded as a touch of the title. Although I feel that this extra story seems to be mainly about children, and the emotional line between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is relatively light. In general, I still feel that the author was too hasty when he first wrote this article. He did not think clearly about the main plot and characters before writing. The development of the entire plot kept changing in the middle. In the end, there was no way out. The voices of the Shen Shaoqing faction were too loud, so he could only end with suicide for love. In fact, to put it bluntly, I just don't have a clear idea. Too much pen and ink was spent in the early stage to exaggerate the ten years between Shen Shaoqing and the heroine. Of course, it is undeniable that the rendering is really good. He is already my Bai Yueguang. However, the disadvantage is that Jiang Yutang, who is supposed to be the male protagonist, is uncompetitive in comparison, so the plot cannot be developed at all. It's obviously a stand-in, but the stand-in is far inferior to Bai Yueguang, which makes people feel like a fraud. Of course, it's a different matter if I meet Shen Shaoqing, hahaha. All in all, I still hope that the author can make an outline and write the text. Don't always ask for leave. If you really have no idea, think it over carefully before coming back. Otherwise, you really disrespect the readers. That's all, above.
I'm really speechless. If you don't want to, the author can tell me.
The male protagonist is too miserable. He was not as good as a human before, but now he is not as good as a bird. What are you trying to do?
Shen Shaoqing and Xiangsi are really at odds with each other. I cried to death.
Ah, the birth of a daughter was a bit of a failure in the end. The heroine went through a lot of hardships to give birth to a child who actually kissed her father. It was really not worth it.
