It's a top-notch Machiavellian movie, with a very good plot rhythm and structure. Although I can't beat the main character, the supporting characters are all remarkable. I like Liu Chaoming the most. The heroine is also well portrayed, and her character arc is obvious.

Most people come to this book for the copywriting, but not me. Although the author has been criticized, I still love her writing style, which is very smooth. The heroine is really cute, and the male lead is a very real feudal man. The emotional scenes are easy to resist in the early stage, but a bit forceful in the later stages.

Curator note

I really like T's modern words, but I feel a little uncomfortable with the writing style when it comes to ancient words. This book is particularly Zen-like, with not many emotional lines, but her advantages are still obvious. The group portraits are particularly vivid, and it makes people have a long aftertaste after reading it.

I have watched the TV series and particularly like the male protagonist. He is a typical beauty, strong but miserable. The female protagonist is full of vitality in order to save her master. She is also beautiful, strong and miserable. The male protagonist appears to be carefree, but in reality he loves the female protagonist miserably. The plot line is well written and overall very smooth.

9 无 An Unwarranted Affliction Dan YiRomance271k WordsOngoing 976Favorites585Clicks/ch479Gifts

Curator note

It is a very surprising work. The emotional and plot lines are parallel. The male protagonist is a prince, but due to the influence of power, he is reduced to an actor. He accidentally meets the female protagonist who is a doctor. The process of falling in love is smooth, delicate and sweet. The plot line is very large, rigorous and attractive, not the kind of mindless plot that is written casually. The male protagonist is both proud and inferior, and the female protagonist is both a vital character, and the emotional scenes are very interesting.
