Just three months into her marriage, Feng Yuzhen's husband joined the rebel army and became a minor leader. Left behind in her hometown, she suffered greatly as a result. When the couple finally reunited after narrowly escaping death, she discovered that her husband, who had proclaimed himself Prince of Liang, already had a beautiful new companion and an adorable concubine-born son...
When Emperor Taizu of Great Liang died, Empress Feng, who had fainted several times from grief, leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered, "Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long, long live Your Majesty! I am ten thousand and one years old! This realm belongs to me now!"
Before his death, Emperor Taizu of Great Liang, Mu Yuanfu, entrusted the young emperor and the government to his most trusted empress, Feng Yuzhen. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself reborn in the body of Zhou Jicheng, a talented scholar known as the "Jade Beauty." He learned that Empress Dowager Feng controlled the government, sidelined the young emperor, executed members of the imperial family, and drove away meritorious officials. She also... particularly favored young, handsome scholar-gentlemen.
The "Jade Beauty," Zhou Jicheng, caught Empress Dowager Feng's eye. The Empress Dowager admired his looks and prized his talent, and gently asked, "Will you enter the court, or the harem?"
Emperor Taizu of Liang gritted his teeth. "The harem!"

Theme: A beautiful life is built through hard work.
Help... Why should we give the male protagonist another chance to live when the end has come??? As long as it is true that he slept with other women and had children with other women in this life, then no matter how many times he is reborn, he will still be a dirty cucumber, so why bother to create such a estrangement?
The author's portrayal of the male and female protagonists is too real. The male protagonist is a complete scumbag emotionally, but from a career perspective, the male protagonist has the courage to be the first in the world, the courage to lead by example, and a unique personality that makes subordinates pursue him. He is undoubtedly a perfect career partner. Of course, he has hurt the heroine. In my eyes, it is difficult for the two of them to reunite emotionally. The best way is to become business partners. They both have small loves and small loves, but they are not limited to small loves and small loves. They have a common career pursuit. Being business partners is the best solution.
After reading the whole book, I had an indescribable feeling, which should be called "difficult to calm down". The male and female protagonists should have an emotional basis, but the female protagonist's feelings were exhausted early, and the male protagonist thought that his love was deep and deep under the female protagonist's tolerance. The current comment section is somewhat violent. From a few years ago, "But he loves her, why can't she forgive her?" To now, "How can a scum be reborn?" It's unnecessary to go from one extreme to the other. As the heroine said, he is not a qualified man, but he is an excellent collaborator. Do you want a good husband or an excellent collaborator? The heroine before the troubled times should choose the former, and the heroine after the war will definitely choose the latter. This has nothing to do with whether the hero has betrayed and abandoned her. No eggs will be left intact after the nest is overturned. Emotional needs are based on survival needs and safety needs. It's a pity that most of us are just ordinary people and don't have such ambitions to achieve great achievements. Most readers still stay at the level of fighting between concubines and concubines. As long as it does not violate the public order and good customs of the society at that time, the male protagonist's failure to the female protagonist can only be called a mediocre side of human nature, not even a scumbag. It is a contradiction in itself to use modern moral standards to require his loyalty and at the same time use the standards of feudal emperors to measure his achievements. In my opinion, the author still made the male protagonist somewhat idealistic. If Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty could be reborn, would he still have such affection for Empress Lu? Liu Xiu first married Yin Lihua, then established Guo Shengtong, and then deposed Guo Liyin. How much was it about emotion and how much was it about planning? It's really not easy for the male protagonist. What's more, the emperor has the responsibility of heirs, but Zhu Youtang insisted on monogamy, but it was a pity that he did not leave any blood. In an era when the five kingdoms were coexisting and in turmoil, having no descendants meant that there was no legitimate heir, which meant that there would be twists and turns when dynasties changed. It is a kind of hooliganism to discuss human affairs regardless of the times. What the male protagonist feels most sorry for the female protagonist is that he failed to protect her properly and rashly launched an army to make her homeless and lose her beloved son and high school. There is a saying that is right, everything in the world is about sex, but sex is about power. The heroine's Chang Mingxuan comes in and out, and there is no fundamental difference between the male protagonist's harem of three thousand, so I think there is no need to hold on to it. It's just that the heroine is really ahead of her time. Rather than being able to have her husband alone, she values whether she can maintain her self, ideals, and sense of independence in a marriage (such as her conversation with Feng Hua). The male protagonist has indeed achieved this. She may have fantasized about the second sister's vow to "be together for the rest of her life", but unfortunately the male protagonist did not meet the standard because he was born in an era where he had all the advantages and could do whatever he wanted without being blamed. Therefore, he disappointed the female protagonist. In this regard, he did not reach the ideal height of the female protagonist. Generally speaking, I personally think that although the male protagonist has flaws, they are personal. In terms of merit, he can be regarded as a great emperor of a generation (if the later contributions of Zhou Jicheng are also included). Maybe this comment will be scolded, and they will say that I whitewashed the male protagonist... It doesn't matter, this is my true feeling after watching it. The author spends a lot of money to create the male protagonist more than the female protagonist. He probably wants to let the man in reality change his place and reflect on himself, right? Probably? At least his hero did.
The heroine tortured all the emperor's sons to death, hahaha, this ending is not bad.
Jiangshan must be named Feng, why give them the surname Mu?
... Don't you think the heroine is disgusting? I am pregnant. The throne still has the blood of the Mu family. Aren't the county lord and Dr. Xiao Ning bad? Prince Duan is not the heroine's child. Why should I want his blood?
The heroine finally looks like a healthy personality. She is not just a little white flower that withers after only love. She is very good-looking.
Huniu and Mu Jing's child ascended the throne, thus benefiting Huniu's biological scumbag father. The scumbag's second brother-in-law became the new emperor's grandfather.
Alas, the male protagonist is a real scumbag, but if you don't look at the backstory, he is indeed a real man...
The penultimate paragraph really made me cry. It was so painful and difficult back then.
