In the imperial palace late at night, the emperor reviewed memorials while a palace maid ground ink and attended to him.
Beneath the shimmering lamplight, the emperor kept his head bowed and eyes lowered, yet he could feel the maid sneaking glances at him.
It was a grave act of disrespect, but the emperor quietly curled his lips into a faint smile. Lost in thought, he unconsciously wrote the maid's name in his imperial handwriting as his reply to a memorial.
He hurriedly crossed out the character "Yan" with his vermilion brush. Flustered like a boy experiencing his first crush, he glanced up to see whether the maid had noticed. She was indeed so entranced by his looks that when his gaze fell upon her, she froze for a moment before hurriedly coming to her senses and lowering her head.
The emperor would never punish her for it. He merely asked in a gentle voice, "What are you thinking about, to be so lost in thought?"
The maid lowered her head and said nothing.
How could she tell him that she had been staring at him because she was searching for the Fengfu and Yamen acupoints at the junction of his head and neck? A long needle driven into either of those spots could kill a person.
The thought of stabbing the emperor to death with her own hands stirred her heart. A few traces of heat rose to her cheeks.
Seeing the maid blush with embarrassment, the emperor's heart stirred. He gently took her hand. "I know how you feel."
The maid lowered her eyes to the emperor's hand. Her body trembled slightly as she had to suppress her revulsion, while hatred surged through her heart like a raging tide.
Kill him! She had to kill him!
[An emperor who initially mistakes a palace maid for someone who admires him, and a palace maid who is actually a princess of a fallen kingdom, determined to kill him]

2. The female lead remains emotionally in the dominant position from beginning to end. Only the male lead lowers himself to beg for her love. There are no scenes of her humbling herself or begging for affection.
Coming soon: I Woke Up Married for the Third Time
After an accident that left me unconscious in the water, I lost eight whole years of memories.
In my memories, I was an unmarried young woman and an attendant to Empress Shen. Before she died, Her Majesty entrusted me with caring for the Crown Prince. At his mother's instruction, the little prince, not yet ten, called me "Auntie" with tears in his eyes.
But when I woke up, I was still young and had already married three times. I was the most notorious, frivolous woman in the entire capital, and the little prince who used to cry so easily was now a sixteen-year-old boy and my third husband.
What on earth had happened during those eight years?
I was horrified.
Coming soon: The Sweet Bride
A bride from Earth accidentally awakened the ancient bloodthirsty genes of the people of Vankalos.

Their wedding night nearly ended in tragedy. To keep from hurting his bride, Prince Noy left his home planet that very night and set off across the universe in search of a solution.
Before leaving, he entrusted his bride to his elder brother's protection. His brother, Emperor Vango, was the most self-controlled ruler in Vankalos's history, so rational he was nearly cold-blooded, and naturally cruel and merciless.
He did not know that the moment the bride from Earth set foot on Vankalos, the ancient bloodthirsty genes that had slept for tens of millions of years began quietly awakening in his brother first.
Core theme: Even in adversity, one must strive to survive.
This article seems to be missing a soul, everything is bland, a bland assassination, a bland emotion, a bland ending. . All are floating
I finally understand why people say they can't understand it, because in this article, there is no psychological activity and language of the heroine at all in the later stages. It's all narration, and the servant talks more and has more psychological activities than the heroine. The motivations for the heroine's actions are all kinds of incomprehensible and strange.
I saw some readers in the comment area saying that there was no inner description of the heroine in the later stage, but I didn't think that was the case. The heroine would be afraid and in pain when she thought about herself in spring, but she had never felt unexplained and upset, never before. In the eyes of the maid Mozhi, the master usually doesn't like to go out for a walk, but now the master will take the initiative to go out for a walk. "It seems like she is really relaxing, she needs... To relax." It can be seen that the heroine's unexplained annoyance cannot be relieved. She can no longer stay quietly in one place. She is calm on the surface but is in a state of chaos inside. She can only go out and take a walk to relieve her agitated mood. The article describes the heroine's heart from her innocence as a child to everything since. Her heart has always been disturbed by emotions, but whether it is love or hate, she always understands why she is happy and why she is in pain. It's not like the surge of annoyance in my heart now that seems to have no reason and cannot be suppressed. Then she kissed Xiao Jue. She wanted to test whether she would feel the same if she was close to someone else. Although the author did not describe what happened next, it can be seen from the change of the heroine towards the hero after that that the heroine already understood that she fell in love with the hero. In her heart, she was angry with herself and even more angry with the male protagonist, so she locked herself in the house and shut out the male protagonist. The male protagonist broke in because he was worried about her, and then he was greeted by the teacup thrown by the female protagonist and the unkind eyes of the female protagonist. Next, from the perspective of the eunuch chief Zhou Shouen, the story of the relationship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is told. The female protagonist loses her temper for no reason, and the male protagonist is like a silent husband who endures his wife's unreasonable troubles. Their way of getting along has changed, so that they both seem to be different people. The heroine used to be submissive to the hero like a puppet or treat her coldly, but she never lost her temper, especially if she was a nice person. But when she suddenly lost her temper, it was only towards the hero. Just think about it, in life, do we only have the confidence to lose our temper with those closest to us? If you try it with other people, who will condone you doing this? Alas, the heroine has fallen in love with the hero in her heart. She is clearly aware of her feelings for the hero. She must feel that it is the hero's fault and should not "seduce" her... So that they can get along well with her. Suddenly she has a bad temper and is angry with him for seducing her. She is even more angry with herself for falling into his "fascination circle" because of her uncontrollability. Some book friends commented that the heroine stabbed the heroine because she had a deal with the Queen Mother and used the New Year's Eve banquet to kill the hero. In the end, she had her own considerations that made the hero injured and unable to attend the New Year's Eve banquet. I strongly agree with this, at least for now it is very logical. In the end, I guessed that the female protagonist did not drink the abortion pill. The male protagonist told her that before she was born, she was almost killed by her biological mother who hated him. Since she fell in love with the male protagonist, she would definitely feel sorry for him, so how could she treat her own flesh and blood the same way. Hope my guess is not wrong.
It's not finished yet, the later plot is really like a stagnant water, I don't know what I'm writing about. It's a pity to throw away tasteless food
This is an open ending, right? One characteristic of this article is that it made me feel excited in the early stage, and I was eager to read and follow up. Later on, there was a pool of stagnant water, which led to the end of this article. I couldn't recall the character's personality, and my brain had no memory points. I tasted spiciness early on. Later it felt like I had been drinking plain water.
The last part is like apotheosis, very natural and very fatalistic.
No, there are no other extras?
The last paragraph not only describes the scene at that time, but also reflects the two people's subsequent lives. As Xiao Jue wakes up, the barrier between the two will gradually disappear. Both of them had feelings for each other, and over time, just like the author wrote, they supported each other on the difficult muddy path, walked through the sea of flowers all over the mountains and fields, and headed towards a place where spring was more prosperous... Xiao Jue died once, so he would look away! Dear author, please give me a side story. I haven't seen enough. I haven't seen enough at all.
The author has never described the psychological activities of the heroine, and the heroine does not have a long mouth. This is probably the writing method of this article. If all the thoughts of the heroine are written out, it will be easy for readers to judge from a God's perspective. Now the readers are kept guessing to create a sense of suspense. In fact, I always thought that the Queen Mother said something before giving the wine? Otherwise it would be too abrupt, but that's how the chapter was written, so I thought the heroine discovered it through divination. The hero has misunderstood the heroine... Burn the handkerchief and stay in the crematorium. I have always been the male protagonist's overt favorite, but finally I saw the female protagonist's reverse attitude.
Emmm, I think the relationship between the male and female protagonists is quite inexplicable. Given the kind of upbringing environment the male protagonist has, how could he inexplicably fall in love with the female protagonist, and then let the female protagonist let go of her so lightly after knowing that the male protagonist didn't kill her brother? Although it was a misunderstanding, the male protagonist actually insulted the female protagonist. She would never fall in love with him no matter what, and let go of her hatred. But in the end, she actually held hands with the male protagonist and stayed together... Well, I can only say that the style of ancient sadistic novels is really not suitable for me.
