The Blurb for Cheng Huan
In front of an elegant, finely crafted huanghuali dressing table, Ning Wan's gaze shone brightly. Tears gathered in her eyes but did not fall. Lu Jingzhi crouched beside her, delicately sweeping on eyebrow pigment, tenderness lingering in his eyes.
In the mirror, they were a perfectly matched couple. Outside the mirror, a tear rolled down and landed on the man's hand.
"Why are you crying?" Lu Jingzhi wiped away her tears with a rough fingertip and smiled at her. "I like seeing you smile. For the sake of his life, you should smile more."
Following his gaze, she saw a man kneeling nearby, trembling. Beads of sweat the size of peas clung to his forehead. His official hat was crooked, but he did not dare adjust it.
That man was Ning Wan's fiance. On New Year's Eve, the night before, he had personally driven her to Prince Yi's residence in his carriage...

Where's My Daughter? blurb:
Zheng the Fourth's daughter was missing. Someone said they saw her following an old Daoist, flying through the clouds toward the south.
Zheng the Fourth's wife was gone. His father-in-law despised him and threatened her with death until she signed a divorce agreement with him.
Zheng the Fourth himself was about to be gone, too. His name was on the conscription notice. Joining the army meant becoming a rebel, fighting the emperor, and facing death at every turn, all while being branded a traitor.
Fortunately, monsters had appeared in Zheng the Fourth's home, two of them at once: a broken bowl and a short nail.
The short nail was stubborn, and the broken bowl was noisy. In a hoarse voice, it kept cawing, "Zheng the Fourth, where's your daughter? Where's your daughter?"
One man and two monsters left the village, beginning a long journey in search of his daughter.
Theme: Turn toward the sun and live.
After reading a few chapters, I was very curious about the male and female protagonists, but there were a lot of supporting roles, and I was losing my patience.
The heroine is too humble.

Hahaha, I feel like watching Dream of Red Mansions
It's rare for a heroine to persuade people to rebel, which is quite interesting.
Have a good rest~ I have been attacked by Yiliu before!
Beautiful writing that makes people unable to put it down
What a coincidence. I just went to Bagongshan for the Chinese New Year, and my partner's home is right there.
So is it acting?
I think it's a nice article
