The biggest mistake this tough, resilient girl ever made was saving a total piece of trash. Meeting him was the worst luck imaginable. The best-case scenario is to lie flat.

I have read it on both platforms. First of all, I really like this article. Neither the male protagonist nor the female protagonist is a perfect character in the traditional sense. I like their flaws and they feel very real. The female protagonist knows that she is a bit stupid. She is very self-aware. Coupled with the influence of her family environment and the environment at that time, she feels that she is not as outstanding as her cousin, so she feels a little inferior. The male protagonist was a perfect fake character at the time, and this fake character was very consistent with the social environment at that time. The standard for a young man from an aristocratic family. Therefore, the heroine knew that she did not meet the standards of a young lady from an aristocratic family in the environment at that time. When she saw such a male protagonist, she felt firstly inferiority complex and secondly jealousy. So when her cousin stimulated her later, she first remembered that the male protagonist had never played the piano in front of her and was worried about gains and losses. However, she did not know at the time that the male protagonist hated playing the piano. This can be seen in the last two extras, at the end of the two extras. The female protagonist later understood the male protagonist, and they had a heart-to-heart relationship, so she said that their child was really like his father and did not like music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The male protagonist is relatively crazy, and his affection for the female protagonist actually started relatively early. I feel that he could have ignored it when the female protagonist peeked at him practicing martial arts, but he could tell it when he insisted on teasing her. In addition, the heroine later rescued him and took him to see his father for the last time. In this process, emotions gradually accumulate. At the same time, he also knew that he was a criminal and needed to be supported by the heroine. In troubled times, he did not fight for anything, but the heroine could have the protection of his family in troubled times, so in the end he did not take the heroine away. When he later learned that the heroine had been abandoned by her family in a nunnery, it was still a nunnery, so he killed all the people in the nunnery. The relationship between the two of them is kind of forbearing, which is a problem of their personalities. We are bystanders, so we know clearly that they are the ones in authority. In fact, the female protagonist didn't realize that the male protagonist had used Zhenzhen's identity to show so much affection to her until later. She thought that Zhenzhen was just a fake person, but she didn't know that it was his sincerity. When the heroine reunited seven years later, she said that it had been seven years and you just came to kill me. Isn't this just a complaint? It's been seven years since you came to me. But the main thing is that although the heroine is stupid, she is smart and never contacted her brother. Let the male protagonist not find any clues. And it's been seven years. The first time the heroine received a message, the hero received it. Doesn't this imply that the male protagonist has been looking for him? Another contrast is that the male protagonist is an emperor and is decisive in killing, but he is a loving father to his children. As for the heroine, although she is very gentle in nature and is only a little direct in her expressions, she is actually a strict mother.
This book is really well written. The ending is a little rushed (not enough to watch!), But the extra chapter completely stood up to the two of them. The eldest daughter, Shengsheng, has been insecure since she was a child, and her anxiety is projected on her son. She is afraid of being laughed at by her lover if she is not good at chess, and she is timid and bluffing. The story about troubled times is also very well written and in-depth. Seeing that the heroine's growth line has not been continued, I thought it was discontinued, but it is actually very wonderful. Sheng Sheng's growth is not her own. It is just to prove that she is not weak emotionally (the opportunity is even given by the male protagonist), and to pave the way for a subsequent coup. Third, it is to make the queen rule the world, with a limited background and a career line beyond the relationship. Sheng Sheng itself is not a Mary Sue, so there is no need. This is enough. It's just about getting back together again, not abusing men and women, it's still more than enough.
The heroine's growth has been removing the charms of gods and Buddhas, family ties, paternal authority, monarchy, and husband's authority. But the shortcoming is that the heroine's new flesh and blood is not full enough. In the end, I feel that the heroine still has a vague disgust for herself. She has not fallen in love with herself, and all her personality from then on is also weak.
How should I put it? In other novels, the male protagonist likes the female protagonist, but I can't get the personality charm of the female protagonist. In this book, I got the personality charm of the heroine and I like the heroine. I understand why the hero likes the heroine. However, the hero's extra story gave me a very indifferent and not very loving feeling. It's not as sweet as what I imagined.
In fact, I enjoyed reading the previous chapters. This book is really well written, with a strong and profound writing style, and great control over emotions. However, the ending chapters really hurt me. Two mentally ill patients actually raised children. The female protagonist ran around with a ball for 7 years and became a resentful wife. She vented her anger on the children... As soon as she saw the male protagonist, she started to go crazy again. Then after seven years, she was immediately taken away and took her son back to the palace. After returning to Beijing to raise her son, she was still crazy, not to mention the male protagonist. I didn't understand the point of writing about this child. The only flaw in the whole story is this child who shouldn't have appeared. It's so funny and ridiculous. It gave me ptsd. The male and female protagonists love each other to death and lick each other's wounds, wouldn't it be great? Two twisted and chaotic people cannot and cannot be parents. The plot of a family of three makes it difficult to breathe after watching it. To me, this ending is a tragedy and a horror film that has yet to be completed. Luckily this is just fiction.
Damn Jinjiang!! I typed a lot and swallowed it, but I really liked it, so I wrote it again. I like strong female protagonists and I like novels that are more refreshing. I rarely read novels that are a bit sadistic about the heroine and not about a strong female protagonist (and there is no strong female protagonist in the end). However, the more I read, the more I can sympathize with the female protagonist, and I can see the rare and valuable shining points in the female protagonist. Maybe it's because I am a mediocre person in reality, and I long for ordinary people who are powerful but a little stupid. Maybe like the heroine, no matter how hard I work, in the end I am just a slightly better ordinary person. I understand the heroine's awkwardness and inferiority complex, and I also understand the male protagonist's awkward love. I wish us ordinary people can also find love, whether it is from others or ourselves. P. S. I actually read the beginning first, and then continued reading from the moment the male protagonist fought his way to the temple. The first part was really frustrating... But it was still a very good article, and I will most likely read it a second time. Thank you ma'am.
Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to find this good book at the end of the year. The writing style and plot surpassed most novels on the market. Many novels nowadays feel like they are pre-made dishes, but the male and female protagonists in this book are very well portrayed and very easy to relate to. I watched the PO version in one go. The play between the young lady and the young master was so sweet... But the conflicts and plots between the male and female protagonists from the last ten chapters were too hasty. It felt like the ending was rushed through... I couldn't see enough. It would be nice to have more extras about the male and female protagonists. I really like the characters of the male and female protagonists. The shortcomings do not hide the good points. It can be regarded as a super excellent ancient book that solves the book shortage.
The love part is so sticky and beautiful. I usually give up on stories when I see the protagonists officially getting together, and I don't even like to read stories that involve pregnancy and childbirth and the male protagonist becoming an emperor. I rarely hope that the author can write more about the daily life of two people who can fall in love without getting caught. The ending is a bit rushed, and the change of attitude of the heroine is also a bit sudden. In short, it feels like we are getting back together in order to finish the story as soon as possible, and the extra is not as sweet as the main story. It should be difficult to find a meal replacement bar with such a personality and relationship style (crying).
I seemed to have skipped reading this novel, but now that I have finished it, I understand what everyone said about it being a bad one. It is really a pity that it has been seven years. And the most regrettable thing about the heroine is that she could have grown into a better, kind, smart, and confident heroine, but in the end she still became the queen version of the eldest lady. I also understand that the heroine keeps scolding the hero recently. In fact, the hero likes the heroine like this, but it is still a pity. It feels that the heroine is the eldest lady but not the eldest lady anymore.
Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to find this novel at the end of the year, which was a novel that beat 90% of the tweeters and bloggers in the same period. Today's novels feel like they are all pre-made, but the shaping and plot development of the male and female protagonists in this book are really amazing. I watched the Po version in one sitting. The play between the young master and the young lady was so sweet. . It's just that the ending was a bit rushed, it would have been nice to have more extras. It would be nice to have meal replacements for characters like the male and female protagonists, it's really delicious.
