This is a world divided between the "Upper Folk" and the "Raised Folk."
The Upper Folk are servants and subjects of the gods. They bear the responsibility of developing the nation and "caring for" the Raised Folk.
The Raised Folk need not think. As long as they work diligently, they can live in peace under the Upper Folk's "protection."
A dynasty that has stood firm for hundreds of years is transformed completely when two people meet by chance.
Jiang Yan is the heir of a vassal state, a noble among the Upper Folk.
He Chuan is one of the Raised Folk under Jiang Yan's jurisdiction. Apart from his handsome face, he has nothing.
On a rainy night before a sacrificial rite, Jiang Yan kills her father and younger brother and slaughters the royal residence. He Chuan, who has entered the palace to deliver offerings, catches her in the act.
To inherit her title without incident, she has no choice but to use half of the Raised Folk's face as a disguise, making him impersonate her younger brother and enter the world of the Upper Folk.
Bound together against their will, they face constant threats of death at court.
Jiang Yan never expected that, when she bears a terrible secret, is forced to kill her own family, and finds herself utterly alone, this Raised Folk, with his resilient and gentle heart, would be the one to hold up the sky for her.
She watches him grow taller and stronger, mature and steadfast, victorious in battle after battle.
They support each other as they contend for the throne. And, propelled by one "accident" after another, they uncover the truth behind the dynasty, a truth of extreme cruelty that exceeds everything they know about this world.
She climbs step by step to the pinnacle of power, both for her loved ones who died horribly and to grant this one Raised Folk the honor of standing above all but herself.
But she miscalculates again. One day, the person who leads the people in overthrowing her rule and nearly drives her to ruin is her most loyal general, the only person she has ever loved.
--I thought you wouldn't come back.
--An old friend still awaits me with favor. How could I not return?
This realm belongs to no one. But I want to build a better world and live in it with you.
A domineering, ambitious queen x a straightforward general with puppy-dog charm (younger man, raised by her).
Slow-burn romance, one-on-one, following the two of them through half their lives. A winding journey, happy ending. The first two volumes establish the world, so readers who want to jump straight into the romance should start with volume three.
Content warnings:
1. This is not love at first sight or a sugary romance. It is mainly about how love begins and grows. There is devotion through thick and thin and facing death together, as well as the debate between "great love" and "personal love," and the conflict between duties to the world, society, and family.
2. This story takes place in the future, not in an alternate historical setting. It has many foreshadowing clues and mysteries, as well as a large cast and many elements. It has a touch of cyberpunk, currency wars, infrastructure and mechs, geopolitical relations, overseas invasions, innate nature versus social conditioning... Also known as "Reflections on Human Civilization," "What Happens When You Force a Leap in Productive Capacity," and "An Inquiry into Combining Traditional Chinese Culture with Socialism."
3. There are no conventionally good or bad people in this story. Everyone's words and actions are constrained by class and position in a society warped to extremes. Every character works to reform an unjust world, though their roles and chosen paths differ. Because the leads love each other, they are able to break through their ideological shackles to some extent, and find completion and redemption together.

It's been a long time since I've seen an article with a future world background. In addition, it mainly talks about the growth of the male and female protagonists and deepening their relationship while pursuing their careers. I personally like this article very much, so I have collected it for a long time. Volume 1 From the very beginning of the ten-year Great Wild Festival celebration, we can see that the author is very good at describing details and scenes, which is very vivid and picturesque. Chapter 3 begins with Hechuan going to the royal capital to deliver tributes. At this time, he only barely knows a few words and his knowledge is very limited. When he first entered the city, he was very surprised by everything here. It felt like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. Even when he saw money, he reacted belatedly. Here, through Hechuan's perspective, the status and class difference between the "Master" and "Zhumin" are reflected in a small way, but I thought it was a comparison. The drama is serious, but at the beginning when the male and female protagonists meet, the scene where Hechuan chooses to die and asks to go to the toilet before death feels a bit funny, with a clear sense of stupidity. I wonder if I will blush when I think about it in the future, and it will become a punchline after dinner, but this is like a small episode. Although our Hechuan has little experience now, he is still very smart, especially when dealing with other courtiers later, he is very courageous! Chapter 12 - The focus is all around the Imperial City. There are many characters here, and many interest disputes are a bit mind-numbing. Secondly, the heroine and Hechuan are more from the perspective of bystanders. It was not until the implementation of the new system that the focus shifted to the heroine and Hechuan. Secondly, Shao Shuyou is Jiang Xuan's mentor. The heroine didn't tell Hechuan about this in advance, and she had said before that she would definitely have to deal with Da Siming when she went to the imperial city. It would be childish to not mention such an important thing because she was "thinking about the scars in the other person's heart". Moreover, with the relationship between Shao Shuyou and Jiang Xuan, Hechuan definitely couldn't hide it from him. He even thought why not tell Shao Shuyou directly and achieve something through their master-disciple relationship. However, these were just the first feelings when he saw this. The first volume mainly begins with Hechuan delivering tribute, the heroine killing her father and brother, asking Hechuan to pretend to be Jiang Xuan, and then the emperor's death. The two go to the imperial city together to introduce the background. The story has a sense of being narrated, and it always creates suspense. He kills his father and brother, which makes people want to continue watching. As for the emotional line, at present, it seems that Hechuan has more affection for the heroine. In addition, among the supporting characters, Shao Shuyou gives people a sense of mystery. Apart from the protagonist, he also left the deepest impression on me. Volume 2 Career line: The Six Arts Examination is the first time Hechuan has stood out in front of everyone. The heroine was framed, and Hechuan has grown again from Jiang Xuan to Shao Hechuan. Especially Hechuan restored the truth through his own efforts. Among them, the heroine let Hechuan go, but Hechuan stayed and followed to the end, as well as the master-servant relationship between Hechuan and Chuanbei. It is very moving to see here. Chapter 74 finally revealed the reason why Jiang Yan killed his father, and revealed a more mysterious force hidden behind it. Emotional line: Hechuan's dream about Jiang Yan has clearly shown that Hechuan has feelings for Jiang Yan, and when Jiang Yan was caught, he wanted Nie to kill Hechuan and later regretted it. Later, he saw that Hechuan firmly chose himself. I believe that from then on, the heroine will be more open to Hechuan and will no longer be tempted. Therefore, I feel that this incident is an important turning point for the heroine to deepen her emotions. In addition, I am becoming more and more curious about Shao Shuyou. I feel that he hides many secrets. Since he mentioned that he knew Hechuan's mother, I think it is very likely that Shao Shuyou knew that he was not Jiang Xuan earlier when he tested it with tea. Overall, I feel that this person is very charming and it is very easy for people to remember him. Volume 3 It feels like the pace starts to slow down compared to the previous two volumes. Hechuan and Jiang Yan are separated from each other and only communicate through letters. They each have things to face. This volume does not leave a deep impression on people. Volume 4 In Chapter 122, the two finally kissed, which is gratifying, and I had thought that it was the heroine who took the initiative, because Hechuan's feelings are actually very obvious. The progress of the relationship between the two of them mainly depends on Jiang Yan. Later, Hechuan Chinese Medicine and Jiang Yan took the initiative to embrace each other, etc. The two people's intentions are actually very clear, and the emotional line has made great progress in this volume. I have read four volumes so far, and I feel that the beginning is quite amazing. First of all, the characters and writing are very attractive, especially Hechuan's reaction when he changes from a farmer to a master. He is sometimes clever and sometimes funny, scared and pretending to be calm at first. So throughout the whole story, it is obvious that Hechuan's growth can be seen, so I think the character creation is very successful. Generally speaking, the first volume is like an introduction and the second volume feels like a more exciting part. However, in the third and fourth volumes, I personally feel that the pace has slowed down. Although the relationship between the male and female protagonists has progressed greatly in these two volumes, the plot line feels a little flat. From the end of the fourth volume, I feel that the fifth volume will be a wonderful plot, so I am looking forward to the subsequent plots. There are still a lot of foreshadowing and foreshadowing that have not been revealed, so I feel that this novel will be a long novel, and I am very much looking forward to it.
Master, is it clear from the outside? Hehe
Hey, the two of them put each other on the top of their hearts, and then they didn't express themselves very much. They really wanted to press their heads together.
This dream has come true. This is what I think deep in my heart. How can I be willing to leave, even if my leg is broken?
The writing style is very good, the description is very delicate, and the glass slag is very tasty when chewed, which makes you feel angry and competitive! Go ahead and see what's going on~
He was obviously running towards her with all his strength, but why was the distance in between getting farther and farther?
It's hard to end things without you two together, you know?
It feels like Jiang Yan is gradually transforming into a river... (Dog head
The author often returns to nature when describing some beautiful things. The light on the window lattice, the wind in her hair, the full grains of wheat and her curved eyebrows always remind me of the clips in Hayao Miyazaki's movies, which are simple and warm.
