Blurb for this novel:
Tan Zhaozhao transmigrated into the wife of Zhang Jiuling.
Zhang Jiuling, a renowned Tang Dynasty statesman and poet, was exceptionally intelligent and had unmatched grace.
After his death, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang always compared his new chancellors to him, asking, "Do they have Jiuling's elegance?"
On the ancient Meiling Road in later generations stood a temple dedicated to the wife of Zhang Jiuling, Qi Yifen.
There was also a Seventh Aunt Temple in Nanan. Qi Yifen was the seventh daughter in the Qi family, and was also known as Seventh Aunt. They likewise regarded her as Zhang Jiuling's wife and built a temple in her memory.
Qi Yifen was a distant relative of Zhang Jiuling and was currently living with the Zhang family.
Oh, no!
This was awkward!
Tan Zhaozhao had no grand ambitions. She came from a distinguished family, was wealthy and beautiful, and lived during the reign of Empress Wu and the early Kaiyuan Golden Age, when customs were open and women were treated well.
Handsome wandering knights, gorgeous Hu women, grape wine in luminous cups. See all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day. Who needed a temple?
Believing she wasn't virtuous enough to deserve two temples in her memory, Tan Zhaozhao decided to divorce Zhang Jiuling and let Qi Yifen take her place.
Zhang Jiuling: "Madam, don't make a scene."
Zhang Jiuling: "There's no way we'll divorce in this life. I'll follow Fang Xiang's example."
Fang Xuanling's wife was famous for being jealous, and Tan Zhaozhao was instantly furious.
Zhang Jiuling remained as calm as ever. "Don't worry, Madam. I'll send Seventh Aunt back to her hometown tomorrow."
He added, "I'll make sure you have food and clothing without worry, and the freedom to live as you please. Every poem I write, every feeling between the lines, is for you."
Reader's Guide:
This is not official history, so please don't nitpick the historical details.
Marriage first, love later. A sweet romance, one-on-one.
A half-laid-back, half-unhinged female lead versus a half-sage male lead.
Pre-release 1: After I Became the Adviser to My Commoner General Father. Blurb:
Meng Xiyi transmigrated into the daughter of a family that ran a coffin shop in the capital. Her family loved money more than life itself, but they were exceptionally united.
When she grew up, her parents couldn't bear to marry her off, so they planned to find her a live-in husband.
Who could have guessed that one day, a matchmaker from the government would arrive with a noisy procession to propose on behalf of Zhou Zhaolin, a young master of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and ask for Meng Xiyi's hand in marriage?
A high-ranking monk had read Zhou Zhaolin's fate: his principal wife had to be born at noon on the fifth day of the fifth month, or she would face mortal danger.
The Duke of Wei's mansion and Zhou Zhaolin were equally notorious. Everyone in the realm knew their names.
Zhou Zhaolin: A combination of Duan Zhengchun and Jia Baoyu, the precious golden phoenix of the ducal house. A womanizer, amorous and utterly useless at his studies.
The Duke of Wei's mansion: A den of decadent luxury, full of scoundrels. They specialized in bullying businesses and exploiting the common people, and were the originators and record holders of the biggest baby boom during the mourning period in history.
Because her birth chart had brought her terrible luck, Meng Xiyi had no choice but to marry him.
The Duke of Wei's mansion was at the height of its power. Zhou Zhaolin's aunt was a noble consort, and his cousin was the crown prince.
The crown prince was the old emperor's only son, and the Duke of Wei's mansion was the maternal family of the future emperor.
Meng Xiyi to Zhou Zhaolin: "Let's not talk about feelings or sharing a bed as husband and wife. We can still be good friends."
To Zhou Zhaolin's many beloveds: "I'm not here to break you up, and I'm not here to join you. I'm just here to make money."
However, Meng Xiyi discovered that the Duke of Wei's mansion was so awful that it was practically a guaranteed future customer for her coffin shop.
Even making money, watching the gossip, and enjoying the show left her trembling with fear that the family would be confiscated and she'd lose her head.
When the responsibility of managing the household fell on her, she had no choice but to take charge of this mess if she wanted to survive.
Meng Xiyi's speech when she took over the Duke of Wei's mansion: Everyone knows the Meng family runs a coffin shop. Only the dead are guaranteed total immunity.
Reform is painful. I can only guarantee that I won't suffer. I can't make the same promise to you.
Under Meng Xiyi's management, with bloody purges as the main approach and modern corporate practices as a supplement, the Duke of Wei's mansion became a rare example of a wealthy and upright family, earning the title of the Most Virtuous Family of Great Yong.
Reader's Guide:
An alternate setting. Please don't nitpick.
The female lead is no saint and was born into this world. She's ruthless, iron-handed, and skilled at singing, acting, reciting lines, fighting, throwing tantrums, rolling on the ground, and pretending to be possessed.

An alternate setting. Please don't nitpick.
The female lead is no saint and was born into this world. She's ruthless, iron-handed, and skilled at singing, acting, reciting lines, fighting, throwing tantrums, rolling on the ground, and pretending to be possessed.
Theme: Live positively and love yourself.
There is so much sadness and so much emotion
There is a lot of sadness and a lot of sighs
I understand that when Zhao Zhao first arrived in another world, he had an infinite yearning for Tang Dynasty Chang'an.
I also understand Zhao Zhao's kindness and compassion towards Xue Nu towards the people and everyone.
Already aware of the vastness of the universe, I still pity the green grass and trees
Some people may not understand why Zhaozhao is still kind to Mrs. Qi. He seems to think that protecting his man is a matter of course and must be done.
But I understand that in the era at that time, this was indeed the best way for Mrs. Qi to seek for herself. This was limited by her time. And because Zhaozhao was transparent and understood, she did not hate or even blame Mrs. Qi. She only had compassion in her heart.
But what makes me even more emotional is that Xue Nu and Gao Lishi
These two characters seem to be opposites from the beginning. On one side are ordinary people who just want to settle down and live a smooth life without worries. On the other side are powerful people who are constantly fighting for power and profit. However, they are both attracted to Zhao Zhao and they both appreciate Zhao Zhao's kindness.
But after all, they have different concepts and values. In the end, Gao Lishi did not understand Zhaozhao's compassion for the people. It was not just because of Xue Nu, but the helplessness and struggle of the people under power.
But I really feel very complicated about Gao Lishi. In the end, I know that he killed Xue Nu, but I still hope that Zhao Zhao can give him a little warmth. Really, he pursues fame and fortune but is also eaten by blood and flesh in Vanity Fair. I really hope that he can gain a little warmth.
And what makes me cry the most is actually prosperity, living and working in peace and contentment, the poet Taibai drinking wine and dancing with swords, riding horses in the world, and literati with lofty ideals reciting poems and talking about state affairs. Why do I like to read this kind of article that changes history? Because history is vast, and we know the ending, but the pain of being unable to change is the most painful part of historical time-travel novels. So I hope to find something from these fictions, even a little bit, to make the people who suffer under the historical tide a little happier, even just a little bit.
Of course, I was really moved by the love between Jiuling and Zhaozhao. It was mentioned many times in the article that respect, tolerance, and understanding are the long-term solutions. I deeply believe that.
Very well written. I like this article very much. It comes slowly like water in the spring mountains and melts my heart. The full text is very coherent and comfortable to read. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the only book I have ordered in Jinjiang for so many years, and there is no skipping chapters at all. What I like the most is that the entire story line briefly outlines the back house and the court, and looks at that era from the perspective of Jiuniang, an ordinary person. Very everyday.
Is it over so soon? Alas
In fact, you can write a realistic side story, such as a hard-working high school student taking a history class or popularizing science in a museum, and introduce the follow-up of the Tang Dynasty in the article. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. From.. From. Fromwell out into out out out there out out out out out of the Tang Dynasty"studies"
Although Gao Lishi doesn't have much writing, his characters are quite distinct.
Finished spreading flowers. I feel sorry for Gao Lishi +1. He just doesn't want anyone to involve Jiuniang.
It's well written and I've finished reading it, but if I had to choose again, I would definitely not read it because I don't want to be imbued with so many emotions.
It's been a long time since I've watched it and I cried and laughed at the same time. It can be said to be the best ancient Chinese novel I've read in the past two years. The writing, concept, and characters are really good. The dream of Jade Capital has lasted for thousands of years, bearing its sweetness, experiencing its sourness, and exploring its bitterness, and then entering the Tao with one's body to create peace for all generations. Why is it not a bowl of warm fermented fermented eggs for a heartbroken I Tang who has been living in a thatched hut for many years? Thank you so much to the author!
Any more? I want to see the sequel to later generations
I still have more to say, it's so well written, it's beyond expectations!
It would be great if there was a modern side story. Let's add another chapter, Mrs.
