[Terrible actress, scheming female ghost x reserved, purehearted young nobleman]
Ji Dao held a white parasol and shyly threw herself into the young man's arms. "My lord, you won't betray me, will you?"
The elegant, handsome young nobleman gazed at the rain with deep, captivating eyes, as if it were far more beautiful than she was. "Stop acting. Just be yourself."
Ji Dao: "…"
A thousand years ago, Ji Dao was a girl sacrificed to the River God. To survive, she had to devour the life-soul of a man who had fallen deeply in love with her and then betrayed her.
This time, Ji Dao thought this cold, reserved young nobleman would be no different. She never expected to lose her footing with him instead!
[Marriage alliance with a neighboring country]
Ji Dao slumped to the ground, sobbing as prettily as a pear blossom in the rain. "My lord, go ahead. I'm too lowborn to be worthy of you. I don't blame you."
Ji Dao was delighted inside. With acting this good, surely everyone is supposed to turn against me at this point in the story!
The young nobleman looked down at her. After a long while, he bent down and gently wiped the tears from her face. "You cry so badly that no one but me could be fooled. Wipe your tears away. I've already asked the emperor to withdraw the marriage proposal."
Ji Dao angrily slapped his hand away. "You tactless bastard!!"
[When the kingdom falls]
Ji Dao waited for the young nobleman to elope with her. She waited all night, but all she received was a letter. Thinking she'd finally been betrayed, she was beside herself with joy.
When she opened it, she found the young nobleman's handwriting: "Your acting is truly terrible, but this time, things really are as you wished."
Only then did Ji Dao learn that he had died in battle before the city gates.
It wasn't that he stopped loving her. He was simply dead.
Ji Dao's tears slipped shamelessly from the corners of her mouth. "You'd have been better off falling out of love!"
Later,
Ji Dao returned to the city wall to gather his remains. He stood before the gates, dead but still upright, a bronze sword in his hand and a white paper parasol across his back, both stained with blood.
Beneath the bronze sword, the words "My wife" remained unfinished.
Ji Dao clenched her fists and stormed into the Palace of the King of Hell, the place she feared most. She didn't love him. She was just afraid the duck in her hand would get away!

Shang Wen had always wanted to know if that lying little rascal, who talked a mile a minute, had ever loved him.
He still wondered as he lay dying.
So he refused to cross the Naihe Bridge or drink the Soup of Forgetfulness.
He waited year after year.
Until a little liar, covered in wounds, came to take him away.
"Did you ever love me, Ji Dao?"
"I did."
This time, she acted so well that Shang Wen couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth.
[Before you read]
1. The female lead will always like people who love her wholeheartedly, so she has loved others during the centuries before meeting the male lead.
2. The main story isn't as lighthearted as the blurb, so read with care~
3. If you think there are other things readers should be warned about, feel free to comment. I'll add them when I see them~
Theme: It's never too late to learn how to love
You can ask, in order to survive, the heroine ate the soul of the person who was deeply in love with her and betrayed her. During this period, did she develop feelings for the person he seduced? That is, are the male and female protagonists the same person physically and mentally? Double C? There aren't any supporting characters involved in it, right?
I finally found the reason. A novel is not a script. It does not need to be explained clearly in every sentence. The main line is always the main line. It must have a setting and suspense to attract people to read. Even a group portrait article cannot deviate from the main line.
This article reads a bit fragmented. The distinction between the main plot and the branch plot is not clear enough. For two or three consecutive chapters, 80% of the content is about the branch plot, which makes you feel like you are lost. If you give up, you will gain something. Personally, I think the branch line will be a bit confusing if it is too long. I personally recommend streamlining the branch line.
Streamlining does not mean cutting it off. For example, there is no need to describe in such detail how the tea girl and the oiran blame each other. Another example, can Chang Mo, as the hero's closest bodyguard, be more effective in combat? Another example is whether the tension between Miss Zheng and Chunsheng can be determined through the description of Chunsheng's body language...
The above are only personal understanding and suggestions.
It's a bit scary, I feel very happy, but there is a faint aura of abuse.
I've been following the update for a long time ~ Come on, madam ~ [Spread flowers]
The second male lead was too paranoid, so I wrote him a rebirth if
Can you write more stories about Shang Wen and Tao Niang?
I haven't read the past life storyline, but to give you some protection, the heroine has liked someone else before, so if you can't accept this suggestion, don't read it. Also, the style of the main text is a bit different from the copywriting style, and the main text is a bit heavier.
Ah, there is a treasured author here!
Chu Tang is also very good! ! ! ! !
