Novel blurb:
Spoiled, radiant crybaby X obsessive, ruthless mad dog
Jinling is in turmoil, and corrupt officials hold sway.
A unit of Xuanyun Guards roams the remote border regions of Great Zhou, capturing the children of officials who opposed Xiao Shu in years past and bringing them to Jinling as slaves.
They say Xiao Shu is sinister and cruel, and practices dark arts. Countless young women have suffered at his hands.
When Jiang Yanru is brought to Jinling, she spots a familiar face in the crowd. Desperate, she grabs his sleeve and cries, "Brother, save me!"
A guard raises his blade to strike her, but the man stops him with a lifted hand. Looking at her with an unnervingly gentle smile, he says, "Well, she really is my little sister."
Only, she had never called him "Brother" before. She used to call him Knife Slave.
*
Yanru was spoiled into being arrogant and unruly as a child, with no regard for the rules.
But after arriving in Jinling, she learns to keep her head down. She calls Xiao Shu, the corrupt official she fears most, "Brother" again and again, afraid of ending up like those other young women.
Xiao Shu cruelly lifts Yanru's chin. "You refused to call me Brother before. Do you regret it now?"
Yanru nods in fear.
"Then I order you to call me husband now. Will you?"
*
Xiao Shu once imagined all sorts of cruel ways to torment his adoptive father, the man who had forged him into a poisoned blade for killing.
First, he would steal the man's beloved only daughter and torment her as he pleased.
But later, Xiao Shu thinks it would be even better to make his enemy's daughter depend on him and fall in love with him, then die in her arms.
To leave her a heartbroken widow would be quite perfect.
But later, he finds himself holding her again and again, begging her to save him.
*
Ever since coming to Jinling, Yanru has been living cautiously under Xiao Shu's thumb.
Until one day, she suddenly realizes that if she is just a little bolder, her mad-dog of a brother is actually quite easy to handle. :)
#When I go crazy, even my brother gets scared.

Upcoming novel 2: Marrying the Deposed Crown Prince After Being Reborn
★Marriage first, love later; both fall for each other★
After being reborn, Yu Qingyao chooses to marry the deposed Crown Prince, who is under house arrest.
No one approves of the match. Even the man she once loved comes to mock her, convinced she won't be able to endure the hardship of the Forbidden Garden, and that the deposed Crown Prince won't love her.
She has never heard such nonsense and doesn't change her mind.
In her previous life, she had gone to great lengths to win over her family for the man she loved and manage his household, only to be betrayed. The humiliation of being demoted from wife to concubine was still fresh when she died horribly in the wilderness during an assassination attempt.
In this life, she doesn't want to exhaust herself working for someone else's benefit.
The deposed Crown Prince may have no hope of regaining power, but he grants her every request.
Yu Qingyao is more than content.
*
At first, Li Ce thinks Yu Qingyao will soon be begging to leave.
On their wedding day, he promised to grant her every request, and that included this one.
Who would have thought all she'd ask for was a plate of white jade pastries?
Looking at her bright, limpid eyes and sweet smile, Li Ce silently swallows his words and softly says, "All right."
Later, he successfully returns to power and takes up residence in the Eastern Palace again.
A friend asks curiously, "You used to drift through life, and wouldn't fight for anything no matter who tried to persuade you. Why the sudden change?"
Li Ce gazes at the girl in a tulip-colored dress in the garden, a helpless yet indulgent smile on his lips. "There are some things that are hard to come by in the Forbidden Garden."
Knowing how much Li Ce dotes on his wife, his friend smiles knowingly. But then Li Ce's tone shifts, turning cold as he murmurs:
"Besides... there's someone I don't want to see again."
His friend is startled. It's the first time he's seen the usually gentle Li Ce's eyes turn cold.
Clearly, that person's repeated visits to the Forbidden Garden to "bother" the Crown Princess have finally crossed the Crown Prince's line!
*
A little scene:
After the new emperor ascends the throne, the ministers notice that among the 1,001 delicacies, there's only one dish that isn't a rare delicacy fit for an emperor: an ordinary plate of white jade pastries. They are puzzled.
Li Ce: "That's all. The Empress likes them."
The Grand Historian wants to record the events that led to the deposed Crown Prince's dramatic return. What was the reason?
Yu Qingyao: "...That's all. I got carried away asking for things."
She never expected that the deposed Crown Prince would pull himself together to grant her many "little requests," returning to the Eastern Palace and soon ascending the throne!

Alas, I was really disappointed. This was the first book I read through. I started to read it very quickly and started to feel that the plot was dragging out around the 50th chapter. But overall it was pretty good so I continued to follow it. It was really messy towards the end. All the plot directions were filled in very hastily and the holes were not filled in yet. When the author finally took leave to write the article, I thought I wanted to write a good ending. I just wanted a good ending. The result is still so sloppy and many plots cannot be connected, which is really disappointing.
The understatement of Xiao Shu's vindication, the whole book starts high but ends low, and the ending is hasty and perfunctory. This is the negative review given to you by all users.
It's really a bit urgent A lot of foreshadowing not mentioned For example, things from childhood Originally, Bai Wangshu could write well, and his image was obviously very rich, but in the end, he failed and became a tool man.
The coral beads on the director's hairband were the heroine's birthday gift when she was a child.
Hahahahaha I laughed to death. At this time, the male protagonist still feels that what the emperor taught him is not good enough. Because the emperor himself didn't keep the queen hahahahaha
All good. But the ending was really too hasty. It's like, "Holy shit, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, is going to end?" It's rushed, really, rushed. Regarding the role of Bai Wangshu, my humble impression is that Bao You can write more about it. He appeared early, but the ending was briefly touched upon, and I feel that Bao You can really write more about it. For example, the deposed prince's party, their plots and so on, write about them. But after reading the article, overall I am quite happy. I hope Bao will get better and better as he writes. Looking forward to the next one.
Disappointed, unexpectedly ended.
In the end, has the poison of the hero and heroine been cured? I don't seem to have seen the relevant description, which makes me a little uncomfortable. Did I miss it? But the article is still very interesting, I like it very much!
No, it's unfinished. There are a lot of reserved plots that don't tell the ending.
I've finished reading it. Well, how can I put it this way? I might prefer Xiao Gou in this book. Although he was very doggy at the beginning, he was also very doggy in the end. In the text 33, he didn't even write about the wedding!!!! But I think Xiao Gou also has his own softness, just like a cat who only gives his soft belly to people he trusts, such as Aru. He has also changed and learned how to be good to a person and take care of a person. He finally waited for the person who was looking forward to his return and asked him about his return date (I don't care. He gave us Aru when he was a child. It must be like this!!!! I don't accept rebuttal. I don't listen!!!! Otherwise, why would he keep those pair of pearls for so long!!) Although Aru looks soft and loves to cry, she actually knows that staying alive is more important than anything else. She seems heartless, but in fact, she will catch people who she believes in and won't let them go. I'm a little confused and don't know what I'm talking about. I'm also a person who forgets things after seeing them. Emotions come and go quickly. Two days went really fast and I finished reading it. There is only one sentence lingering in my mind: "I swore to protect Zhou Dynasty and the royal family as long as the emperor believes in me." That's it. I'm looking forward to the next encounter. I hope it's in the physical world and I can watch new extras, such as Xiao Gou's contraceptive failure. The temporary farewell is to see you again next time! I will come back for a second time! Bye bye Xiao Gou, bye bye Yanru, bye bye
