Everyone knows that the Defender General supports the Crown Prince. Yet after the Lantern Festival, Shen Yijin, daughter of the Defender General, falls head over heels for the Sixth Prince, who has just returned to court after spending five years as a hostage in another kingdom. She showers him with gifts, new clothes one day and pastries the next, always eager to please.
The Sixth Prince throws every last gift away.
Shen Yijin becomes the laughingstock of the capital.
She doesn't care. She keeps sending gifts and submitting invitations day after day. That is, until the Sixth Prince ascends the throne and, to eliminate his rivals, orders Shen Yijin's father and brother put to death.
She kneels in the snow for three days and nights, finally winning the emperor's mercy. Her family is spared execution, but sentenced to exile in a plague-ridden land.
A month later, the emperor appears before her on a fine steed, looking down at her with certainty. "In recognition of the Shen family's daughter's excellent skills at making pastries, brewing medicinal soups, and sewing clothes, I hereby permit you to enter the palace and attend to Me."
Shen Yijin smiles faintly. After being reborn, she had willingly made herself a laughingstock just to save her father and brother. Now that she has achieved her goal, it's time to bring this play of unwavering devotion to an end.
"This subject's daughter dares not harbor any more delusions. I am also to be married to another soon. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to withdraw your command."
The emperor's heart gives a sudden jolt: What?!
One-on-one romance, happy ending, fictional setting, daily updates. The male and female leads, as well as many other characters, are flawed. If it's not for you, please stop reading. No need to tell me you're dropping it.
[Completed: After I Was Married Off to the Blind Prince]
Jiang Mo is the beautiful, gentle, and quiet daughter of a seventh-rank Hanlin Academy editor.
Because she looks remarkably like the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qing, she is forced to take her place as the bride of the blind Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince is as sturdy as a pine and handsome as jade. He is well versed in both literature and warfare, and was the ideal candidate for heir to the throne. Unfortunately, he lost his sight on returning from a campaign. Worse, the formerly mild-mannered gentleman became sensitive, quick-tempered, and irritable.
After marrying him, Jiang Mo serves him with great care and acts with utmost caution, hoping only to keep herself and her father alive.
Then word spreads that the Ninth Prince's eyes have healed and that the emperor intends to name him Crown Prince. The Duke of Qing threatens Jiang Mo's father's life, forcing her to "return" her title as the Ninth Princess Consort.
Jiang Mo has wanted to leave for a long time. She readily agrees, then takes her father away from the capital in the middle of the night. They settle in Jiangnan and begin a quiet, ordinary life.
A little over a month passes. In March, the rain is fine and the breeze gentle in Jiangnan. Jiang Mo hums a tune as she tends the orchids in her courtyard, enjoying the peaceful life. But the moment she turns around, the smile freezes on her lips, and she can't help taking two steps back.
The Ninth Prince stands before her, eyes bloodshot, his shock mixed with pain and tenderness. He stares at her, trembling slightly, then slowly steps toward her...
The person who reached out and took his hand in the darkness: even blind, he would remember who she was.
[Coming soon: Ashes Beneath the Frost]
When Xia Ran falls from being the envied legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei to working in the Imperial Music Bureau, she thinks nothing could be worse. She has no idea this is only the beginning...
A large hand clamps around her slender neck. The man before her is as stern as a demon from hell. "You caused the deaths of all three members of the Jiang family. Don't even dream of escaping me in this lifetime."
The evidence is overwhelming, and Xia Ran has no way to defend herself. She can only endure as Zhou Yan vents his hatred by keeping her under his control.
Shunned by the old hands at the Imperial Music Bureau, Xia Ran washes clothes with reddened hands in the bitter winter cold. A foot kicks over her washbasin, and silver taels, the prize everyone covets, land heavily before her. The man looks down at her from on high, his thin lips parting. "Beg me."
When she is set up and thrown into a river, Zhou Yan saves her too, wrapping her roughly in his cloak. "You want to die? As if you're worthy."
Xia Ran understands that Zhou Yan hates her deeply and intends to keep her firmly in his grasp. Even on the day she resolves to put herself up for sale, he gets to her first and claims her.
That night, the red curtains billow. For the first time, Xia Ran sheds tears, never knowing that they fall, burning hot, into Zhou Yan's heart.
In the frozen ground long shrouded by hatred, something seems to have quietly taken root long ago.
Zhou Yan once thought he would hate Xia Ran for the rest of his life. He never imagined that one day he would willingly shield her from every harm, cut down everyone who had ever humiliated her, and place the empress's throne before her, pleading in a hoarse voice...
When frost and ash are burned away, spring comes into bloom; Ran Ran blossoms beneath the bright sun.
This is probably a story about love growing from hate.
Theme: Turn every hurt into motivation. Keep working hard and build a better life.
The emotional story of this pair seems to be a contrast between the male and female protagonists. Emotions are complex things, either because of emotion, because of habits, because of love at first sight, or from mutual use to interdependence. The sacrifices made, the kind of person you fall in love with, and the kind of person you are, all of this determines what kind of story will be written and what kind of ending it will have. Every character in the author's works has flesh and blood. There is no real villain in the author's story, only different positions. The reason why the prince can become the prince must have a side worthy of recognition, but because of his suspicion and unscrupulous means, he ended up. This personality, coupled with the experience of losing the princess, also affected his attitude towards relationships.
In fact, in my previous life, I was more interested in Chen Yan and the heroine, because at that time, the heroine only had one good friend and we went out to play with him every day. What's the matter without a male protagonist? Sure enough, Chen likes the heroine
Gouzi is so miserable. He has sacrificed too much. I feel sorry for Gouzi. Can the heroine also go to the crematorium?
Ah, it turns out that he pulled out the parrot's tongue himself!!! I found this character very interesting and liked it very much from the beginning. He unexpectedly got along well with Xiao Jin, and secret feelings were inevitable, but at the time he would not have broken through the layers of paper. With his character, even without Li Yanzhu, the story between him and Xiao Jin would have taken a long time to be fulfilled. It is too difficult for unrequited love in friendship to turn into love. But, he is Chen Yanshi, what can really restrain him in this life?
The male protagonist is so good!!! It was originally a Hongmen banquet where we were waiting for the heroine to get jealous, but the hero couldn't help but speak up for the heroine and publicly told me that he was of the same mind. It really shocked me!
It's not Li Yanzhu who's being abused, it's me who's being abused! There have been people around me who want to be good for you, take care of everything, communicate little, and seem to have sacrificed a lot for you. I have also been attracted by such a silent and slightly domineering character. As I grow older, I realize that this is not what love should be like. Its original appearance is covered up by self-righteous self-giving, but I have never asked the other person what they want. Leaving the palace is not necessarily a bad thing. The male protagonist needs to grow up, and the female protagonist also needs to see her true heart without resistance. Loving the King of God is indeed more than just having love. If you want to be together for the rest of your life, the two of them face many difficulties. Whether the male protagonist can provide such a guarantee that a person's heart will last forever is the answer that the female protagonist wants to know most at the moment.
Finally the ending, this book is really a bit high and low.
I think Ma Qingli is like the heroine of some kind of sadistic novel (the male protagonist is Bai Yueguang, she is deceived, and she is willing to help him achieve dominance, but in the end she is abandoned, the male protagonist and Bai Yueguang are affectionate and affectionate)
That gag was pretty good, but the author's writing was too embarrassing, and it was embarrassing for him to be so round in the end.
Will Gouzi know that his daughter had a purpose when she first approached him?
