[Puppet Crown Princess & Usurping Regent, Gender-Swapped Cao Mao X Sima Zhao, Marriage Before Love, The Subordinate Schemes Carefully, The One in Power Bows for Love]
The puppet emperor, who had fled for years, has returned to the capital, bringing his only daughter, Princess Xuanping, with him.
The Yuan family is enormously powerful and intends to usurp the throne. The family's second son, Yuan Su, is notorious for his ruthlessness, and countless loyal ministers have fallen at his hands.
Everyone says Princess Xuanping and Yuan Su will surely continue the relationship of the older generation: a puppet empress and a usurping regent. In Yuan Su's hands, the princess is bound to end up dead by his sword sooner or later.
Yuan Su thinks so too. Princess Xuanping is frail and sickly, meek and deferential, and only wants to survive in the cracks. She seems even easier to control than the old emperor. In his hands, she'll surely be docile.
Until the day he watched his father try to marry her to his elder brother. He admits he panicked a little, so he did everything he could to snatch her away from his brother. The uncle-and-sister-in-law pairing they'd planned became a marriage instead.
Later, when he watched her go along with things just to secure a chance to survive, without loving him, he told himself there was always time. One day, he would make her depend on him wholeheartedly.
He realized it too late, or perhaps deliberately let things go on, until she put him at swordpoint. The balance of power shifted in an instant. She forced him to choose: choose correctly and live, choose wrong and die.
And so their positions were reversed. She became empress, and he became the servant at her feet.
Him, back then: Weren't you supposed to be docile?
Him, now: It seems I'm the docile one.
He thought she'd been making concessions only to find shelter in a chaotic age, but she knew she wanted far more than that.
If he truly wants to win her heart, he'll have to win the realm for her first.
Note: Some character details are inspired by Cao Mao and Sima Zhao. Please don't nitpick.
Theme: Fate is not inherently unfair. You have to fight for what you want with your own hands
When I first watched You Are Forced and Married to the Tyrant, I immediately ordered the entire book. I was thinking at that time, how could a newcomer write it so well, with smooth logic, and well-written plots, and the growth of the heroine made me grow along with it. This book is very strange. As I write it, I feel that the pace is slowing down. The growth of the female protagonist is not obvious, and the charm of the male protagonist cannot be revealed. Don't worry, why don't you revise the outline first and then start writing. As long as you write, I will definitely follow you.
In fact, I quite like this story, but I feel that Yuan Su's portrayal is a bit too soft. Many times he is soft-hearted or easily touched. How could a person who is so quick to pick off someone's skin be moved by emotions so easily? But maybe feelings are such an unreasonable thing. Xiao Shen Mingliang is lively and a little delicate. As long as the status is suitable, he will indeed be moved. I think there are some shortcomings in the heroine's growth line. Up to now, she still looks like a sickly beauty in need of mercy. If she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, the strong part is not shown very well. The memory that impressed me the most was the beginning, when the maid was so frightened that Xiao Shen killed the assassin himself. Other than that, she showed her talents through memories and past experiences from others. Even when hunting and encountering assassins, she could only rely on Yuan Su, which seemed weak. The plot line is also a little weak. Historically, Cao Mao praised Shaokang essentially to screen out available people and win over courtiers. He has been working hard to gather power. Xiao Shen seems to me to be a bit drifting with the crowd? At first, she thought that she would live a peaceful and peaceful life in Buddhism without fighting or fighting. However, in this situation, she could not just be obedient and not fight. She had no ambition or desire for power. But overall, the writing is still good, and I look forward to the follow-up development.
It looks good, please update 💪
So good, it's Zhaomao's dinner🥰
I'll wait for you to come back after finishing the outline 🤗
I finally have time to catch up on big articles, I've been too busy lately
It turns out that I wrongly blamed the male protagonist.
Yuan Huan reminds me of Gao Huan during the Wei and Jin Dynasties
Waiting for updates every day. It really hurts me to see Miss Zhao reduced to an official prostitute. No matter how handsome the male protagonist is, I can't fall in love with him?
Waiting silently for updates. Why is it that no one is following this article that is so fluent, logically reasonable, and beautifully written? I cry.
