[Blurb]
The Earl of Changning was fated to have no sons, yet an expert predicted that he would become the emperor's father-in-law.
So he kept delaying his daughter's marriage, waiting for the perfect moment after the new emperor took the throne.
Just as he was close to outlasting the old emperor, an unexpected complication arose:
The powerless, dissolute Prince Xiao Ling had taken a liking to his precious daughter and came to ask for her hand.
*
Seventeen years ago, the Countess of Changning gave birth to twins after a difficult labor and nearly died in childbirth.
The second daughter, Chi Fang, was cherished and carefully raised, while the third daughter, Chi Rui, was sent to a remote mountain convent to fend for herself because she was said to be born under an unlucky star and bring her father misfortune.
Prince Xie Jingzhao of Xiao Ling had a poor reputation in the capital.
The Earl of Changning didn't want to marry his beloved daughter off to him, so he hurriedly brought his third daughter home, intending to put her to some use.
With parents this biased and unreliable, Chi Rui gritted her teeth and decisively went to corner the young prince. In a meek voice, she tried her hand at seduction: "Your Highness, will... will you marry me?"
So what if she was a substitute? With my face, I've already got this in the bag!
Just as she expected, Xie Jingzhao wasn't much of a deep thinker, and he took the bait and married her as she'd hoped.
Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne and the palace held a selection of consorts, her twin sister Chi Fang was unexpectedly eliminated and sent home...
Chi Rui: ???
Wasn't she supposed to be the heroine?
Chi Fang: ???
Wasn't I supposed to rule the empire as empress?
The Earl of Changning: ???
Wasn't I supposed to be the emperor's father-in-law?
Xie Jingzhao: Heh...
Warnings: Both leads are each other's first, and... that's it?
[Character Profile]
Female lead: A dramatic true-born heiress, a fierce flower in public and a little white flower in private.
Male lead: A fake wastrel, a little wolfdog in public and a little puppy in private, who occasionally transforms into a loyal Tibetan Mastiff.
Theme: Strive to be yourself. Everyone's existence is irreplaceable.
First of all, the so-called great and enlightened mother, the concubine is very awkward.
Call her stupid, her setting is that of a heroine. He was able to go to the battlefield, and after entering the palace because of his affection for the emperor, he found that the harem was full of compromises and secret schemes, and he was able to decisively choose to leave.
But let's call her wise, she never considered the consequences of her choices.
When she first married the emperor, she knew that he had many wives and concubines, but she never thought about the possibility of struggle. She thought that she would be able to survive the mire, and in the end she told the Yellow Emperor righteously that she did not want a man who abandoned his wife and children for love.
When the male protagonist was born, he did not consider his future life. Let the male protagonist play the role of a playboy all the time, and even think about death in the end. In this case, why bother giving birth to this child? When she gave birth to the hero and his sister, what were her plans for the two children?
In fact, the emperor is also included here. Everyone feels that he is partial to the male protagonist and the male protagonist's mother. He will give them whatever they want, but he does not give them the actual ability to protect themselves. Isn't this flattering?
In particular, the concubine sisters' treatment of Prince Ling was even more unreasonable and ruthless. If my sister really has feelings for Prince Ling, and lets her twin sister accompany her husband on her behalf, and even gives birth to a daughter, who is disgusting? If there is no love, according to the article, King Ling withstood all pressure, had no children, and did not take concubines. Such feelings may not be reciprocated, but at least don't insult him. And in the end, it was even more disgusting that Prince Ling actually gave birth to a daughter with the concubine. Whether an affectionate man could not recognize his real wife, or he made a mistake and found a substitute to let his sister give birth to a child, it was quite hypocritical.
Secondly, the male protagonist's character is also very awkward. The setting is that he knew his life experience early on, and he also knew that he might die because he was feared. Then why write about what he wants to do with a wife? Just to drag someone into trouble?
And while writing about him as a playboy, I also want to write about him being a man of integrity, a person who indulges himself and doesn't even care about his life; a man whose mother and concubine don't mind giving birth to two brothers, and one of them is her sister's husband; a man who has friends all over the house; a man who takes one look at the heroine's sister and thinks she looks good and wants to propose marriage, does he really have the consciousness of being a man of integrity? Who does he want to guard? Why would he want to defend?
There is also something strange about the male protagonist's abilities. He plays the piano well and has good martial arts skills. There is not much else to say, but since he is clumsy, the explanation should be good. But from the beginning to the end, he has been passive, and he was even prepared to be a playboy for the rest of his life or to be directly killed by the new emperor. So what is his mentality to learn these things?
There is also the status of the male protagonist. While saying that he can marry anyone he wants. But he still married a substitute in his previous life. Why didn't he resist at that time? Can he tell the truth, or can he not?
Finally, it's about dealing with the mess in the heroine's house. It is said that if the male protagonist wants to help the female protagonist to vent her anger, he can do so. But it was written that the male protagonist asked them to give a dowry, but because the female protagonist's father wanted his sister to marry for the female protagonist, but failed, he actually changed the dowry to stones and weeds. In the end, the male protagonist just asked the female protagonist's father to write a document proving that he had changed his dowry. They kept saying that the heroine should be separated from her family, but after the male protagonist ascended the throne, he was still granted the title of marquis first, and then it was withdrawn after the incident of equalizing his wife. I still felt a little aggrieved.
The male protagonist apparently succeeded to the throne by a sideline. He had a bad reputation before and had no power in the court. The emperor himself, who could be relied upon, was helpless even in dealing with a queen who killed two concubines. The heroine's family was in such a mess. How could the male protagonist withstand the pressure of being drafted for a concubine in the court?
In the end, the heroine's fourth sister's marriage became very ugly, so she intervened. Every day in the home of the first wife's queen is like singing a big show. Doesn't it have a big impact on the queen?
If the voice of the court really doesn't matter, then why couldn't the previous emperor ignore it? If there is such a thing, how did the male protagonist get it done quickly?
I always feel that people in the article are comforting themselves, I have this ability, I just can't make the mistake. The scumbag father who always said that the male protagonist has the ability to crush the female protagonist to death, but in the end, the scumbag father's reputation was a bit bad, and this reputation also brought the reputation of the female protagonist with it. It will not delay him at all from becoming the father-in-law and marrying a young wife. The second male lead, who was about to kill the male and female protagonists, was finally able to feel his father's love and spend his days leisurely. Although I can understand that I hope he feels that he is responsible for this life, I still feel that the fate given to evil people is too bland. On the contrary, the man who helped the heroine was drowned that year, and good people are not rewarded. This doesn't mean that you have to be mindless and enjoy the novel, but sometimes when reading the novel, you still hope that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
Entering the pit from the direct descendants, watching Ascension to the Throne, watching Bai Yueguang... I have a few personal suggestions for the author, for reference only
At first, I was very surprised when I read the series, because in a serialized article with all kinds of brainless logical confusion and forced intelligence, it is quite rare to find such a article with relatively reasonable logic, the heroine's IQ and personality are online, and the relationship and career lines can be separated relatively clearly. There is not much love brain, the relationship is promoted reasonably, and the plot is relatively smooth. It is quite rare. Especially the descriptions of the supporting characters in the article are very distinctive, I like it very much. (Although there are some obvious manipulations of forcibly subduing the opponent's intelligence, but overall it's not bad). After reading "Legend", my thought was, oh, I will definitely publish a book by this author in the future.
After watching Ascension to the Throne, and then watching Bai Yueguang, I felt that this overdue period was slowly being reduced...
Have some suggestions?
One is to suggest that the author should leave appropriate blank space, so that the description does not need to be very detailed. I found that the author is very accustomed to writing things in very detail, starting from how it happened, what the protagonist A thought, what the protagonist B thought, what the protagonist A did, what he originally thought, and how he was treated by others. Misunderstood, he knew how he was misunderstood, what he thought... Similar... In short, the writing is very clear, but if it is written too clearly, the rhythm will be a little delayed, and as some readers, appropriate white space is more interesting and can lead to many conjectures and possibilities. Especially the protagonist's thoughts. This does not need to be written clearly in the entire article. After reading one article, I seem to have read the protagonist's complete mental journey... I feel that in these three articles, the traces of such psychological description are getting heavier and heavier...
The second is that the supporting characters are sometimes written too viciously. Although they are plot tools, there is often no need to be vicious beyond common sense... Especially many supporting characters who seem to be relatively stand-up at first, but later are simply vicious for the sake of being vicious...
Just some of my personal thoughts
It feels like the male protagonist and the concubine are so close to each other that they even thought that their own death would solve the problem at first.
The premise that cannot be disputed is that the other party is a decent person. Now it is obvious that the prince is not and he is still delaying. If it were not for the aura of the protagonist, I feel that the man and woman were mainly killed by the prince.
I don't think it is incomprehensible for the concubine to give birth to a child for the two brothers. After all, she has let go of the emperor. But in the setting of King Ling, doesn't he have true love for his princess? If it is true love, can the sister who accepts true love give birth to a child for herself? Is it okay if they look the same? Still didn't recognize it at all.
No matter which one, I feel that the character of King Ling's beloved wife has collapsed.
The prince is just the prince, why do you call him the little prince? It's not that he has no title~ The queen concubine's pattern is really great~
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh there are so many conspiracy theories in the comment section but I seem to think so too! ! ! !
Wow, I didn't expect that it was Tao Yu who killed him?
Damn it, the prince of Qi State actually died of illness! ! !
Ah, this... The ending was so unexpected...
Darlings, don't wait for the extra episode tonight.
My plans for the second half of the year have temporarily changed, and I have to be busy with other things. There is no way to seamlessly start a new article after this one. In order not to leave you for too long, I have reorganized the clues of this article and written a few more chapters for you.
The main thing is to write about the little princess, and then there are two or three other supporting characters. By the way, there are not many scenes. If you are interested, I can write about the past of the emperor and the concubine when they were young.
But the total number of words in the extra chapter won't be very large, just tens of thousands. I wrote three books in a row without stopping, which is a bit empty. Plus, I'm really not very good at the extras, so I won't update them every day. I just wrote them casually. Please forgive me.
I love you, okay~
