Novel Blurb:
As the eldest legitimate son of the Xie family, Xie Yuan, Minister of Justice, is ordered by the incompetent old emperor to marry into the northern desert.
By then, Xie Yuan is already gravely ill.
They say the barbarians who live in the desert are a savage, bloodthirsty people who eat raw meat.
They say the barbarian king is two meters tall, built like a mountain, and fond of raw meat and tormenting beautiful men.
As it happens, Xie Yuan is considered the most handsome man in the country.
Xie Yuan: "..."
Barbarian King: "???"
After Xie Yuan is married off, he becomes so ill that he's close to death. His husband, in name only, saves his life, and Xie Yuan discovers that living in the desert is no picnic! There's blowing sand, little water, no vegetation, and a whole lot of people crying out for food.
Xie Yuan: "Let's get started on windbreaks and desert control!" And so the water-starved, barren desert begins to transform, the ignorant tribes begin to unite, and even Xie Yuan's husband in name only falls for him!
Xie Yuan looks terrified and shrinks back. "Huh? No! Chief, let's talk this over. Don't come any closer!"
The barbarian king, whose wife keeps rejecting him, though he continues expressing his feelings, and who still can't compete with the desert's development, says: "My wife serves the people. I serve my wife."
A clever, calm shou who wears a fake smile around strangers and meows for affection once they get close. A strong, brave, and strategic gong from an ethnic minority who is cold and distant with strangers, but flirts with him every day once they become close.
Content warnings: 1. There is a side couple. 2. The story has a method that allows men to get pregnant, but it's only a setting. The main characters do not have children.
Coming next: Reborn, I Became a Matchmaker and The Young Escort Is Sweet and Fragrant
Blurb for the second novel:
In the sixth year of the Jiaxing era, four imperial physicians examine Zhou Qingyan, the national preceptor of Yuan, and conclude that he has no more than three years to live.
Having worked for the imperial family for fifteen years, Zhou Qingyan declares: I'd rather live a carefree life for three years than keep working for the royal family.
He hands in his resignation during the day and, after court, heads to the Yellow Flower House to buy back his favorite young escort.
The young escort has sharp brows, bright eyes, a handsome face, and a tall, straight build, like an unbending green bamboo. Taking advantage of his impending death, Zhou Qingyan forces him to do the laundry, cook, and warm his bed.
All day long, Zhou Qingyan is the only one whose voice can be heard.
"Ziyuan, hold me."
"Ziyuan, feed me."
"Ziyuan, come to bed already!"
He thinks that after three years, he'll finally be able to sleep forever. But who could have guessed that the young escort would suddenly seize power, usurp the throne, and summon the greatest doctors in the land to treat Zhou Qingyan?
When Zhou Qingyan wakes again, a man dressed in imperial yellow stands beside the bed and slowly approaches. "Shall we go to bed?"
Zhou Qingyan shrinks back. "Wah."
Theme: Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility.
The writing is quite good, but the characterization of the characters and environment is a bit lacking. A barbarian tribe that can conquer the Central Plains until they ask for peace and marriage. They have a large number of people and the infrastructure is not too bad. Why do I feel that the patriarch is written like an ordinary village chief, and this barbarian tribe is like a small village. No matter how barren the barbarian land is, it will not be like this. The emotions are also quite abrupt, but the writing style is much better than that of many authors. I hope it will get better and better! I look forward to seeing more mature articles in the future!
For a novel of this size, the plot details are quite reasonable. It was quite unexpected that the Tuoye tribe was arranged to appear. The deputy CP of Hengsheng Yizhi felt that it would be more suitable to design and conceive in a thicker volume. Now it is destined to be impossible to write anything clearly, and it is a hindrance.
It feels like a small village, a small village. How did they send troops to attack the city? I don't understand.
, It would be better if the logic could be tighter, the content, and the character descriptions more detailed. Thinking about the sand cave, I haven't even finished explaining how I got out, and there is another task to be performed immediately. It feels like the author has a lot of content that he wants to write, but can't handle the transition and connection between the plots well. The content looks good, but very little can be remembered in the end. I personally care about the plot and logic of the story, and I don't mark it as a brainless sweet text. Please forgive me if it offends me.
The screen jumps a bit too fast, the connection is not good, and there is no follow-up to the previous story.
It's useless to feel good. It only tires others and makes you sick all the time. Until now, I haven't found that it has any effect.
I don't quite understand why there is a river and an oasis not far away, but no one from the tribe has discovered it or moved here. Do you live such a Buddhist life? Not seeking survival and development
I wanted to see infrastructure construction, but it turns out that it's just an emotional drama so far.
Ahhhh, why are there so few? It's too short and it ends too quickly. Woohoo.
I want a side TVT, it looks great!
