For a hundred years, war has raged across the northern lands, with tribes and clans locked in endless conflict.
Dugu Ce, son of the Khan of the Dugu clan, flees his uncle's persecution with his mother and takes refuge with her family, the Helan clan.
The clan leader is kind and generous. He not only gives them shelter and protection, but also gifts Dugu Ce a beautiful woman as his wife. She is peerlessly beautiful, with skin like snow and a face like a flower, but she is mute and treats others with cool detachment.
Dugu Ce is consumed by thoughts of revenge and spends little time with her. After a year of marriage, their feelings for each other remain shallow. So when he gets the chance to return to his homeland, he abandons her without hesitation.
Five years later, after conquering the tribes and claiming dominion over the northern frontier, he is triumphant and no longer the destitute man he once was. In early spring at Yanguan Pass, they meet again. By then, she has become another man's concubine.
Her beauty is unchanged, even more radiant than before. She plays the pipa, its melody lingering in the air, and her every glance is captivating. Even more surprising, she can speak.
Her voice is tender to the bone, her final syllables soft and sweet. "Your concubine has long since forgotten the past. I ask that Your Majesty never mention it again."
Dugu Ce is unwilling to let her go. "And what if I can't forget...?"
The male lead's perspective: winning back his wife, the hard way. The female lead's perspective: He's still useful to me.
Content warnings: 1. The heroine is calculating, the male lead is an ambitious, unhinged workaholic, and every male supporting character has an agenda. In short, everyone is a villain, and everyone is unhinged. The characters' values are not the author's, so please be kind in the comments.
2. The male lead is sexually inexperienced; the female lead is not.
3. Set in a fictional Sixteen Kingdoms period, with no real-life character models. A pure historical romance with no golden finger. Please be aware!

[Cold on the outside, warm within, a rough-hewn warlord x a scheming beauty who is skilled at flattery and jealousy] [Fictional Five Dynasties, no real-life models]
After Li Xuanji, military governor of Hedong, returns from destroying Northern Yan, four women have appeared in his residence.
They were bestowed by the empress dowager, and he can't refuse. He plans to leave them with the old madam for the time being, then find an excuse to send them away. But one of them gives him a terrible headache.
She hides her greed behind her sleeve, loves money and profit, is willful and arrogant, and wears every emotion on her face... Li Xuanji never knew that a beauty's wiles could be so clumsy and utterly without method.
He can command thousands of troops, but he is helpless against her.
After resisting for a long time, just as he begins to fall for her, she betrays him and vanishes without a trace...
Just wait. If he catches her, he'll peel her skin and tear out her tendons. After making his threat, he resolves to rip her out of his very flesh and blood and return to his old life.
Who would have guessed she would walk right back into his trap?
"My lord, I was wrong. Will you forgive me?" The same old trick, not an ounce of originality, and yet his heart goes soft as a puddle. He can't bring himself to resent her at all.
Li Xuanji finally understands why sages have loved bewitching women since ancient times. It's fate.
I'm always terrible at writing blurbs, so bear with me~ I've gotten used to writing about grand settings and love amid turbulent times, but this time I'm going to try a sweet romance. New and old readers, please add it to your library~
Content warnings: 1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, with an older male lead and an antagonistic relationship. If that's not your thing, don't read.
2. The heroine is deceitful, greedy, and loves money and profit. She is a very good liar, so skip this if she's not your type.
3. Set in a fictional late Tang and Five Dynasties era, but some forms of address are inconsistent. Not recommended for history buffs.
4. There are no historical models. Don't read real people into the characters!!!
5. This is a pure historical romance with no golden finger. The heroine begins as a concubine, but she is forced into the position and leaves it soon after! (Important!!!)
Theme: Live life in full bloom
The quality of this article is so bad that it is on the list 😭
Wow, it's so well written, I haven't seen such fluent ancient Chinese in a long time. At the beginning, Ah Diyu appeared with her face half-covered while holding her pipa. Near the end, she was holding her pipa on the tower, which completely echoed the title of the novel. My wife is really attentive. Even the little characters who only appear once or twice have their names carefully. It really makes people feel that they really existed in the past, and their lives had real ups and downs. As the author said, every character in it is imperfect, but it is this imperfection that makes them feel alive. The wife's writing skills are amazing, and she can control big scenes and all kinds of characters. Everyone's words and deeds can be logically consistent and serve the plot. The transformation of several protagonists in different stages of life is also very natural. I was very lucky to find such a good article during the holidays. Reading to the end instead of serializing it made the reading experience smoother. It seems that the author of the story has been worrying about the data. A small guess is that it may be because it is difficult to connect the beginning and end of a strategy well when reading serially. I don't want writing guidance, but in the future, my wife may be able to wrap up a plot with a couple of sentences to summarize it, so that readers will have fewer obstacles to reading. (Ps. Did the author study history?
You are still on a business trip so late at night, give me a hug 🤗
Very satisfied, very well written, I like it very much [Spread Flowers]
Ah!!! Ah Di is so handsome!!! Scream! Applause!!!
Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers.
"A match struck by thunder and lightning" - Hahahaha, what kind of divine description is this? It's so accurate! Ah Di and Ah Ce can understand each other without saying much, calling for the perfect tacit understanding 💪
Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers.
I can't bear to end it 😭 Will there be a sequel to the show 🤩
It's almost over then
