There's also an extra at the end of the final chapter's author's note.
Chu Jiang was born frail. Hailing from a distinguished family, she was cherished and protected, and had always been surrounded by rare treasures. Like any other young lady of a noble family, she was expected to find a suitable match among Chang'an's elite, bear a few children, and watch her husband climb the ranks... But one trip south brought her to the lush groves along the waterways of Jiangnan. Beneath a mother-of-pearl screen, after hearing a few words of bitter parting and tender reunion, she found herself entangled in a romance with the very man who had once held a knife to her throat.
On an ordinary mountain night, the ink-dark sky was pale and thin. A young woman with bright eyes and white teeth had a blade pressed to her neck, her dark hair tangled against its frosty edge. "Senior Brother Yan, your secret isn't all that important. But my life is precious. Killing me won't do you any good, so why not ask for my help?"
This was the scene that lingered most stubbornly in Fang Yan's dreams, the memory that still made his heart skip whenever he briefly emerged from his hatred.
-- Chu Mingzhang, whether the banquet is joyous or the rain falls cold and clear, I will think of you as a dream in this world. When I wake, you will be gone.
-- Senior Brother Yan, if you die, I won't follow you. One day, when a rhinoceros horn calls the spirits, I'll summon your soul back to see my happy marriage and a house full of children and grandchildren.
When later generations recounted Chu Jiang's life, they found that her family background and her father's and brothers' achievements had never overshadowed her own brilliance. Perhaps her remarkable story began when, in the carefree days of her youth, she boldly declared, "The world is nothing but a game of chess."
This is the story of a girl who grows into a political powerhouse. It's just a fun, satisfying read.
Serious drama, alternate setting, happy ending.
Romance isn't the main focus early on. The story centers on political intrigue and has an ensemble cast.
Theme: Learn to love others, and learn to love yourself.
Finished reading! ! ! Still unfinished! ! ! I felt like something was missing. After thinking about it, it was a pity that the wedding of Ming Zhang and Chen Xun was not mentioned in the article. It's good to leave this part blank in Shao Lan's extra chapter. I feel that Shao Lan will not go back and will stay in the border area.
Not writing instruction. Let me just talk about my feelings after reading it. Overall, the writing is very good, and the writing style is really great! ! ! However, when I read it, I felt that the ending of some chapters was a bit rushed, and I felt like I was rushing to finish writing, but it was just [somewhat]. Another thing is that I think the relationship between the male and female protagonists comes a bit suddenly, but! ! ! The pull between the male and female protagonists is very tense! ! When it's sweet, it's really sweet! ! ! It made my aunt laugh! ! But the flaws do not hide the virtues! ! I love so much! ! This is an article that I will always want to read, not an article that I will give up after reading it halfway. While reading, I was also moved by the female characters in the article. Although they are women, they have an unruly character. They dare to fight and challenge to realize their dreams. They can do better and better than men.
Looking forward to the next article! ! I want to read it even though I have received it in advance. Which one will be easier to read?
The collection of this book is too small. Such good writing should not be done. I am going to tweet it! !
I also feel that writing BE in big letters would be very sadistic. Shao Lan and Prince BE are a bit confusing.
There was Chu Ying before him and Yu Shaolan after him, Liu Cheng's white moonlight and cinnabar mole, his confidant and his beauty, one wrote a poem for him and the other guarded the frontier for him...
Inexplicably, I feel sorry for the unnamed Madam Liu, not to mention her childhood sweetheart who has long since been forgotten, and there is also a sweetheart who is still looking forward to returning slowly after ten years of marriage... There is only so much love in the emperor, and her appearance is not in the order... I hope she will not be emotional, I hope the palace is her comfortable world.
By the way, are Lu Shiyilang and Gu Shiniang paired up?
I don't want to say anything, I can only say that I am lucky to have read this novel. The author's writing style is very good, and you can also understand the principles of life from the story. I hope that all young ladies in the world can be like Mingzhang, clearly distinguish between love and family interests, and have their own persistence. Love others and love yourself.
Shaolan's world is in the army~
Wuwuwuwu Shaolan girl
Yang Qilang died on the battlefield where he wanted to go most, and protecting Ertong was considered a complete success, right?
I really like this kind of story where there is no intrigue between family members! The emperor and the prince did not have any suspicion about the hostess's family. This kind of article looks really reassuring.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a well-written ancient poem.
The writing is so good, why are so few people discovering such a good article? ! !
