   Strictly speaking, this is not a case of forcibly seizing or plundering. In his previous life, he seized by force. I love Da Gou Yin Yin forever, may they both be happy. How could there be a book that so perfectly fits my XP? I read the author's three masterpieces in a row. Maruko, where did you go? Will you write new articles? Waiting for you [heart emoji]

Born to a poor family, Zheng Yuqing was chosen by a court official who selected beautiful women for the palace because of her looks. At fifteen, she entered the palace for the selection.

   It smells amazing! An old-fashioned tale of a ruler taking his subject's wife! A father and son fighting over a woman! The ex-husband brother has little presence. The two main male guests are Da Gouzi (the father) and Er Gouzi (the son). The female lead's first love was Er Gouzi, but she later married her ex-husband, a top-ranking scholar. She was then taken by the emperor, Da Gouzi, and made a concubine. At the time, the female lead was pregnant with her ex-husband's child, which Da Gouzi mistakenly believed was his. Sadly, their forced marriage was a mistake from the start, and their ending was not happy. I cried so much watching it. To protect the female lead and the child, Da Gouzi banished all the other adult princes, including Er Gouzi (who wasn't favored), to their fiefdoms, intending to make the female lead's child the crown prince. Before his death, he even gave the tiger tally to the female lead. [Crying][crying][crying][crying] Thinking back on those days when the three of us had a snowball fight, it was truly a happy time. [Hugging legs][hugging legs][hugging legs] The second son later murders his father and emperor to seize the female lead's affections. Ultimately, because the female lead also appoints her son as Crown Prince (few people know that the female lead's son is her ex-husband's son), the author also wrote a separate story about the female lead's son. Overall, I prefer Big Dog. The author loves the female lead so much that he even wrote another book with Big Dog and a happy ending for the female lead, which I'm immediately going to read!

   Newly Discovered Treasure Author Just when the male lead thought she wouldn't run away after giving birth, she did! The author's writing is absolutely superb! It made my heart ache and aches while reading. The male protagonist ultimately chose to let go.

   I'd give this book four and a half points. The first half is amazing!!! The male lead, as an aloof and unconventional character, is unlike those male leads on the Jinjiang Literature City list who are sharp-tongued and disrespectful to the female lead. The female lead is super cute too! [Droopy-eared bunny head] I think the ending was a bit of a letdown. The flaws don't overshadow the merits.

   The female lead treats the male lead as her white moonlight. The male protagonist then went completely insane. There are still more than ten chapters I haven't finished reading.

   I seriously suspect the male lead is attracted to someone powerful, which is why he's interested in the female lead [droopy-eared rabbit head]. She's such a smart girl! In the end, it ended in a tragic ending (OE). Less than 300,000 words, short and concise; other works by the author are also available.
