[Marriage Before Love] Don't read this older story just because you like the author's new one!
[An early work, not recommended] [Important!]
[Reader advisory: Some readers have said the later part gets a little angsty. The author admits that the middle and later parts involve the male lead's unrequited love and a love-hate relationship where the leads hurt each other.]
[The blurb has little to do with the actual story, so feel free to skip it.]

As a daughter of a prominent family, Yu Shu may not have been born into the highest station, but her first dozen or so years had gone quite smoothly.
She thought her life would go on like that: she'd find a refined and courteous husband, marry him, raise a family, and spend the rest of her days in peace.
Then the emperor decreed a marriage. Instead of the ideal husband she'd dreamed of, she married the most notorious playboy in all of Bianjing, Prince Sheng Wei Zhaonan.
A playboy through and through.
As it turned out, he soon took several more concubines. Seeing a row of beauties so young they looked like you could squeeze water from them, Yu Shu was speechless...
"Since Your Ladyship is so magnanimous, please arrange rooms for them."
Wei Zhaonan brushed a strand of hair from her temple, a roguish, faint smile playing at the corners of his eyes.
Yu Shu smiled and said, "All right," then cursed him in her heart. What a bastard.
One night later, beneath a cold moon and circling crows, Yu Shu happened upon him in a bleak bamboo grove. He stood beneath the chill moonlight, half his handsome face swallowed by the boundless darkness.
A woman who had slandered her that morning was tied up on the ground.
Wei Zhaonan ran his hand over the blade in his palm. His usually roguish, gentle eyes were veiled in murderous intent as he smiled cruelly. "If she doesn't want her tongue, cut it out and feed it to the wolfhounds."
Yu Shu remembered the man who, on many long nights, held her close beneath layers of swaying red silk, seeking her affection by candlelight and calling her "Jiaojiao" with a soft laugh against her ear. Suddenly, she was chilled to the bone.
What kind of person was he, really...?

Notes:
Wei Zhaonan spent his childhood enduring vicious schemes and calculations. To survive and claw his way out of the cannibalistic imperial palace, he learned every degrading trick for ingratiating himself with others. His childhood was terribly, terribly unhappy.
So he acts like a playboy to conceal his true abilities.
Both leads are each other's first and only, in body and heart. Happy ending.
Marriage Before Love.

How can I put it, when I saw the scene behind me, I felt like I had eaten a piece of chicken ribs, and I vomited it. It was not that I didn't vomit. The male protagonist had to hold back and plan for several years. He did not kill his enemies, was not proud, and did not gain power. Even if he turned around and went back to save General Lu, he did not get the power he ultimately wanted. In this case, why should he go to the general? It would be better to go back to save the heroine directly. In this case, the heroine would not have any quarrel with him and the series of sadistic plots that followed. I did not feel complete. I felt that after He has a tough face, but actually it's not bad. Either the male protagonist becomes the emperor and the female protagonist dies, or the female protagonist reunites with her family in Yangzhou and the male protagonist dies. As a result, the male protagonist has nothing, but ends up guarding the border for the dog emperor, and then back to the emperor. The former was King Yan. When he first saw the heroine, he wanted to taint her, and he did not hesitate to use tricks. Although he failed to achieve his wish, he used tricks many times. The key point is that the hero did not know about this, and even let him become the emperor and threatened the heroine to return to the palace from other places and become his concubine! And the male protagonist did not blame King Yan at all but cooperated with him to kill King Su. I really have nothing to say. The Cui family is also alive and well. In the end, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are buried in Bianjing with no power. The humiliation of the male protagonist for more than 20 years was in vain. !! I was really convinced. The whole book was a bit sweet at the beginning, but in the middle and later stages it was almost impossible to watch. I hope the author can write the central idea well in the subsequent books and not torture for the sake of torture. Since it is a novel, I hope it can be written more ideally, so that at least the ending of the male and female protagonists will be better, and not be so useless. Thanks.
Darlings, come and take a look at the pre-collection of ancient words ~ I beg you to collect them ~ The introduction is as follows: 1. "General": the chaotic times at the end of the dynasty + a stingy lover chasing his wife 2. "An Ancient Book of Pseudo-Orthopaedics" (I really haven't decided on this name yet): In front of people, they are full-blooded siblings, but after people, they want to be husband and wife. 3. A gay friend's article "Little Qingmei has changed her mind": Why is Xiaoqingmei, who I don't like, changed her mind and is a little happy?
How should I put it? I don't think it looks very good. Some things feel like they are torture for the sake of torture. It's not worth buying.
It feels like the immortal is also the male protagonist's own fantasy. He wants to deceive himself.
After watching it, some of the plots were a bit unexpected. I thought the male protagonist wanted to be Lu Saifei because he planned to become emperor in the future. In the early stage, the male protagonist was given too much preparation for what he had done for power and the suffering he had suffered in the past, so that later I thought it was because the male protagonist wanted to go to war. There is also King Yan. King Yan seems to be quite despicable. He is obsessed with sex and has always been greedy for the heroine. In the later stage, he let the heroine go and it felt a bit broken with his character at the beginning. But fortunately, the ending is good. As long as the heroine is good, everything will be fine for me as the heroine.
The heroine is simply sick. If it hadn't been for these tricks she had done, she and the hero wouldn't have reached this point! It's your own fault! Deserve it!
I want to watch "Sister"! 3333
Madam, when will the next book be released?
Finished spreading flowers!!!! Keep up the good work, big brother!!!!
After reading it, I feel a little unable to leave.
