[Clever, brave, universally adored heroine vs. cold on the outside but warm-hearted, devoted warrior hero]
In her previous life, though Meng Chunzhi resisted with all her might, she still couldn't escape her fate: tied into a bridal sedan and sent away in a political marriage. Less than three months after marrying into another family, she was buried alive as a sacrificial companion.
In this life, when the same imperial edict is placed before her, Meng Chunzhi looks at the icy-faced general sent to escort her, accepts the decree obediently, and smiles sweetly.
"The State of Zhao has sent a hero like you to escort me, which shows how highly they regard me. I am most fortunate, and will obey the decree at once and set off with you."
The reason is simple: this general is the future founding emperor. If she can get on his good side, no matter how dire the predicament, it will surely be resolved.
On the journey to the State of Zhao, Meng Chunzhi tries every trick she can think of to seduce him.
But the more time she spends with Zuo Ji, the more she realizes that he has a heart of ice. Even after they become physically intimate, he remains resolute in his ambitions, and her hopes continue to dwindle.
Even if he can't let her go free, it would be enough if, for the sake of their long entanglement, he delayed the journey until after King Zhao's death, saving her from being buried alive as a sacrifice.
Zuo Ji isn't a fool. He sees right through Meng Chunzhi's intentions.
She blows hot and cold and tells lie after lie. She seduces him only to escape the political marriage and delay the journey. She doesn't truly care about him.
But she is so beautiful that he can't help being tempted. Still, a little fun is one thing, and crossing the line is another. When the time comes, he firmly delivers her to the palace of Zhao.
At that moment, Meng Chunzhi finally understands: what does it matter that he will be the founding emperor? He is not her savior, nor is he the man for her.
After entering the palace, Meng Chunzhi carefully maneuvers among the different factions, terrified that someone will catch even the slightest mistake. She lives in constant caution.
When she sees Zuo Ji again, they are strangers. She pretends not to know him.
Yet on the night she is summoned to the emperor's bed, he crawls through a secret passage into the deep palace. Disheveled and surrounded by danger, he uses brute force to corner her, his eyes red as he begs: Don't go to his bed! Come with me. I'll marry you!
Thinking of the third prince on the roof beams, the crown prince under the bed, and the armed guards in the wardrobe, Meng Chunzhi's thoughts turn to chaos. "Hurry and leave! You're drunk and talking nonsense. I don't even know you!"
[The beloved heroine sidesteps the heartbreak, unaware that you're still chasing her after the breakup]
...Feel free to take it home!...
My ongoing new novel, Little Factory Girl of the 1990s, is waiting for you over there. Come join in!
Coming next: The Immortal's Pact
Blurb:
Being the crown prince is wonderful, but the Eastern Hua Crown Prince's days are numbered!
One day, he wakes up remembering everything from his previous life, and is horrified to realize that his dynasty will be destroyed by the mammoth cavalry in three years. All the nobles, officials, and military commanders will suffer humiliation before dying, and the common people will not be spared either. They will be slaughtered in a massacre.
This merciless killing spree will finally end beneath Mount Yuelu. At the time, brutal bandits are killing and looting their way up the mountainside, chasing the common people. Their actions alert a female Daoist at Zixia Temple on the summit. She kills the bandits without hesitation and saves the people. After learning about the suffering of the world, she descends the mountain with her sword, righting wrongs and protecting all living beings. When she finally draws the attention of the bandit chief, who brings an army to surround her, the wandering soul of the Eastern Hua Crown Prince is beside himself with worry for her!
But then he witnesses with his own eyes how she summons wind and rain and turns beans into soldiers, killing enemies without leaving a trace.
Oh my heavens!
She's a living goddess!
After waking up, the Eastern Hua Crown Prince feels an urgent need: I have to find her. If I wait any longer, it will be too late!
So the crown prince cries and begs to leave the palace, to study under her and practice the Dao, hoping to cling to this goddess's coattails early and keep his family and the people safe.
The emperor and empress dote on him without limit. Unable to withstand his constant pleading, they have no choice but to agree.
Ning Ying descends to the mortal world to overcome a killing tribulation. She cannot attain perfection without taking a hundred and eight thousand lives.
But as an immortal, she can't simply slaughter people for no reason.
So, during a peaceful and prosperous age, she enlightens a few little demons and incites wars between the various kingdoms. She will wait until they are fighting, then strike in the name of protecting all living beings. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.
After all, the insignificant creatures of this world die off and are replaced by another crop. It's no big deal.
Until one day, a young man claiming to be the Eastern Hua Crown Prince struggles up the mountain, kneels at her feet, and insists on becoming her disciple.
Ning Ying counts it out on her fingers and realizes this man is her romantic tribulation! What a delightful surprise. On her next trip to the mortal world, she can overcome two tribulations at once. Twice the results for half the effort.
But... how can this good-for-nothing man, no scholar or warrior, unable to do a thing for himself because he's been pampered his entire life, possibly be worthy of being my romantic tribulation?
Besides his handsome face and likable personality, what could I possibly like about him? Even the little demons I enlightened understand me better.
But to overcome the tribulation, I'll have to pretend to fall in love with him.
Then... kill him to prove my Dao.

😆 The mental state of this female protagonist [applause][applause][applause]🌈 is amazing
It's a very interesting article, but the only flaw is that the sequel has not come yet. I want to see the hero and heroine, Liu E's
I read DaDa's other article, and it was really good! It was the first time I read a fairy tale novel with great interest, and the male and female protagonists were perfectly portrayed, and their characters did not collapse. I haven't read such a good article for a long time. I happened to see DaDa's message during the epidemic, and I was anxious and confused about not signing the contract... After seeing DaDa's current results, I just want to say that as long as you persist, DaDa's talent and hard work will definitely be seen. What attracted me to this article when I first read it was Da Da's unique writing style and delicate descriptions. Halfway through, I wanted to give up because the pace was too slow and there were too many descriptions of the characters' psychology. But I couldn't bear to continue reading. Gradually, the storyline became more addictive and the pace became faster. I discovered that sometimes layer by layer can be more immersive than expressing your feelings directly from the beginning. [Let me be healthy] Watch this When I was writing, I just simply discovered a novel that I liked. When I read Under the Altar, I really got into the trap. After reading that novel, I realized that Dada is a treasured author!!! Really, no words can express how I feel now 😍. Moreover, Dada never delays updates, and every one of them is a little red flower~ He is the most diligent Dada I have ever encountered in reading! I will always follow Da Da 💪 [Spread flowers] Da Da Da will definitely have all the hardships and joys 💪 I am going to pursue my previous articles 🐶🌹 I will watch Good Girl Goose tomorrow~Blissful
The writing is getting more and more exciting, I look forward to it!!!! Awesome
The third prince in Liang Shang is Zhao Tuo? Zhao Tuo is the third prince, right?
The prince is so greasy! Not as good as the male protagonist, not at all as good as the male protagonist.
Hey, isn't this the male protagonist climbing a high tree... His future is bright if he just saves someone casually?
The male protagonist has a really good life. The brothers are still the sons of high-ranking officials.
The Queen Mother is actually not tired of stupidity, maybe because she is tired of stupidity. This guy Jin Xuewu has 800 idiots who don't know where to turn. I'd better choose the Crown Princess.
When I read this novel you wrote, the male protagonist Zuo Ji came to mind as Takeshi Kaneshiro in House of Flying Daggers, while the female protagonist was Chen Hong, who had red lips and white teeth when she was young. .
