As the dynasty declined, the Turks seized the opportunity to invade, repeatedly raiding the border. In the Battle of Mayi, the third prince, Li Ze, led his troops into battle and bought the Tang dynasty twenty years of peace at a tremendous cost.
He was about to return to Xijing and claim the realm with his military achievements. The people were filled with hope, and the court and country alike cheered him. Only the captive woman wept inconsolably amid the dust kicked up by the horses.
The Turkish leader was cunning and unpredictable, making life difficult even for the Central Plains people who had settled in Turkish territory. After their defeat, they too became captives of the Tang dynasty: the men were enslaved, the women became servants, and the unlucky ones were forced into prostitution.
Xu Zhi was even more unfortunate than most. She became a military prostitute, but in the midst of her misfortune, she was lucky enough to encounter Li Ze amid the windblown sand and mud.
After their brief time together, Li Ze eventually left her behind. Xu Zhi was sad, but understood that it was only natural. She soon accepted the advances of a young soldier, using the money Li Ze had given her to buy him equipment and help him earn a place in the imperial examination. Two years later, the soldier became a Hanlin Academician and took her to Xijing Chang'an, beneath the Son of Heaven's gaze.
During the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor held a banquet at Linhua Hall. Guests of fifth rank and above were required to bring their families. As the banquet grew lively with food and wine, the emperor vanished without a trace. From behind the layers of curtains came the faint sound of a woman's sobbing.
1. Younger man/older woman (the story includes this trope).
2. A gentle, steadfast female lead and an unreasonable male lead.
3. The An Lushan Rebellion, and a minister's wife being seized by force.
Theme: The integration of peoples and a world united under one realm.
Watch the ending first and then the main text, luckily it's HE. The whole text is very warm when the heroine is present, but very heavy when describing history. Let's combine work and rest. I like to read emotional flow articles. What I like most about this book is that it has a fast pace and rich plot, so it can be read in one sitting. Moreover, this book is interspersed with fake bones + amnesia + crematorium + robbery + dankness, but in fact the daily life of the whole text is still very sweet. Secondly, I also like to see the psychology of the male protagonist, who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and has a cold sense of humor. For example, when the female protagonist goes shopping and drinks tea, the male protagonist says, "I want to be like Tao Yuanming in the downtown area." The combination of the two dilutes the sadness and is actually quite sweet. I think the heroine will be very happy together with the second male lead, and she will also be happy with the second male lead. Unfortunately, there is too little sugar with the second male lead. I like Li Zhengji and Yang Xuanli the most. They are two small characters, but they are both very tolerant of the heroine. I especially don't like the plot where the people around the male protagonist look down on the female protagonist after the male and female protagonists get together. Fortunately, in this book, the male protagonist is the most unreasonable. Then, although the young man who wanted to run away in the military camp, Li Baoyue, Li Sui, the hero's mother, Xu Ting and other characters were not described much, they had distinct images. Methods such as perspective switching and flashbacks are used a lot. It would be great if I could continue writing extras. I also want to see the if line with Xu Hui.
I want to watch the extras, madam, I'm so hungry 😭 😭 😭
The fairy tale is a slightly sad story, and it ends with love and peace, which feels very warm.
Not updated yet? Big
Is there any extra? Big
What if I could make it sweeter (request)
Awkward and extremely petty, selfish and a bit naive. In fact, it's easy to guess the male protagonist's thoughts. He is just a beautiful man with a long mouth.
Ah Zhi really makes people feel soft [Spread flowers]
Woohoo, I haven't had a good two days.
[Smirk] The author knows how to write, and what he writes is so right.
