A romance set in an alternate history
A struggle between court and country for the sake of a beauty
She drew a fortune slip foretelling that she would be a phoenix, the “Emperor’s Swallow,” yet just days later she was married to the prime minister. She was breathtakingly beautiful, gentle, and virtuous, but her husband was deeply in love with the emperor’s favored consort. On their wedding night, he said to her with a face full of guilt, “I can give you everything except love...”
Though the marquis’s manor was a maze of courtyards, her life was anything but dull. She picked up the newly crowned top scholar in the imperial palace, rescued a prince of the Nu people in a back alley, plunged over a cliff with the young general of the day, and matched wits with the emperor in the inner hall...
Countless men were won over by her beauty and intelligence, but as they sought to win her heart, they also reached for power. Rivalries ran deep beneath the court’s surface, while the battlefield rang with the clash of weapons and the slaughter of war... The beauty’s charms and the intoxication of power: which is the true hero’s grave?
As war broke out in troubled times, they fought to survive amid the turmoil, vying for power over all beneath heaven and the beauty who could bring a kingdom to its knees...
The world was thrown into chaos for the sake of this beauty. But for whom would she smile?
Title: A Beauty in Turmoil Author: Duoduo Wu
Publisher: Henan Literature and Art Publishing House
The first book in the “Beauty” series, A Beauty in Turmoil, is complete.
The second book in the series, Mei Luo, is now being serialized.
P.S. 1. This story is labeled “Romance: Alternate History,” which makes it clear that it is not actual history. There has been no research or fact-checking whatsoever; it is purely made up by an irresponsible author. It’s fluffy wish fulfillment. If you’re looking for serious historical fiction, please move along. And please don’t throw your history bricks into my alternate-history garden.
2. My ability is limited, and I haven’t studied the finer details of ancient court life in depth. My writing is clumsy and won’t withstand close scrutiny from experts. If you’re thinking, “How could anyone write it like this? It’s absurd and illogical...” please refer to the first point. (After all, this is an alternate history. Whether it’s wild flights of fancy or complete fabrication, it has its own kind of logic. If you think I’m making things up, fine, you’re welcome to move along.) Of course, if any experts would care to offer a few pointers, this author would be deeply grateful.
3. This irresponsible author writes slowly (though sometimes I do get going), but I always finish what I start. Of course, your ratings and comments motivate me to write. Comment as much as you like, and I, Duoduo, will write with all my might, tirelessly and without sleep. Dear readers, please go easy on me. If you pelt me with so many bricks that I’m crippled, I’ll have to pretend I never said I always finish what I start.

Theme:
The male protagonist is so incompetent. Whenever the female protagonist is in danger, he cannot immediately feel the need to rescue her. The female protagonist can save herself or even be rescued by her female counterpart. So what role does the male protagonist play? It was obviously a good time to attack the Nu tribe, but the male protagonist felt that he could not let the male partner Lin Ruien win. He wanted to find an opportunity to defeat the Nu tribe later to show his dissatisfaction with the heroine being kidnapped. He was so naive in this kind of national affairs. He did not have a big picture view, which led to the last battle. The crossbow prince's ejection in revenge for the heroine provided an opportunity. After all, the murder of the heroine was not also caused by the male protagonist. , He was useless, so he relied on the halo of the male protagonist to prevent the male counterpart from shining. This must be the author's preference for the male protagonist, and he forcibly downgraded Lin's power, status and credit. Furthermore, every time the heroine is killed, the hero expresses very little about his worries about the heroine and his specific actions and behaviors. After the heroine escapes from the Nu clan and returns to the camp, his first words to the heroine are not to care about whether she is injured or uncomfortable. Instead, he says "you are so beautiful" and then expresses that he seems to have fallen in love with the heroine. The heroine cannot fall in love with anyone else. It's disgusting. The hero is just an appearance association. , He himself was half-hearted, hesitating between the female lead and the second female lead, and even repeatedly left the female lead for the second female lead. He promised that the female lead would come back immediately but failed to keep his promise. This shows that he actually didn't take the female lead's promise very seriously. This male lead is really selfish, incompetent, half-hearted, and is not even as good as the male protagonist who is sometimes forcibly demoted by the author. He doesn't know that the female lead likes him.
After finishing reading it three times, I discovered that Jinjiang originally had this article. Now I almost don't read BG anymore. This article is really the ancient saying Bai Yueguang in my heart.
I think the heroine and the emperor are together, hahaha
After reading the author's new article, I didn't expect that it was the same author as this ancient saying that impressed me the most when I read it earlier. The general was the male protagonist in my heart back then, and the ending made me very sad! And reminiscing about my lost youth!
The male protagonist is the author's own son, and the female protagonist is infinitely partial to him, and will forgive him when asked. Lin Ranyi saved the female protagonist, but was later killed by the male protagonist. The female protagonist was at the scene, and she was not saved, and she did not resent the male protagonist, and her relationship even reached a higher level.
Can the author repost it without deletion? I would like to see the previous version. The characters are more delicate and full-bodied, and many emotions can be traced. Some aspects after deletion are very general and not as memorable as before.
Who knows, I have read this book three or four times. I really like the blank space in it. The heroine is really good. I used to like Lou Che a lot, but this time I felt really sorry for Lin Ruien when I read it. It's a pity that the character can't be resurrected...
I used to read the physical book, but now I'm reading it again in the electronic version, and it's still good.
This is really White Moonlight. I read it many years ago, and I can still think of it occasionally. When I saw the new article today, I suddenly found that the word Duoduowu seemed a bit familiar, so I clicked in 5555
I recommend the Himalayan audio novel version of "Beautiful Beauty". The anchors speak very well, the voices are very nice, and the music is just right. It is one of the few high-quality books, and it feels like listening to it is really different from reading it.
