Historical romance lives here 💝 More beautiful people than you can count 🌊🌊Please follow🌊🌊🌊Please leave a like🌊🌊 In Peach Blossom Cove stands a peach-blossom hut; beneath it lives a peach-blossom immortal. The immortal plants peach trees, then picks their blossoms to pay for wine. Sober, he sits among the flowers; drunk, he sleeps beneath them. Half awake and half asleep, day after day; flowers bloom and fall, year after year. I'd rather grow old among flowers and wine than bow before carriages
The Realm or the Beauty?
I've been reading for over ten years and have tried all kinds of books. In my opinion, the main appeal of most romance novels aimed at women is their subtle emotional writing and detailed characterizations, with lots of sweet, tender love. It wasn't until I read the books below that I realized how shallow I'd been! 😱

Ruochong's tea party for "dads"
Taoist priest Zhengqing, Prince Renqing and Emperor Jingling, who raised and educated Ruochong, began to complain in an opera style while drinking tea on a sunny afternoon... Taoist priest Zhengqing: (master, grandfather, adoptive father) Since I was a child, my father has made me swear that I must climb to the top of power to restore the glory of my ancestors. Marrying a wife, having children, and leaving an heir to the throne is the first step. I must abandon my wife and infant son in the name of love, and ambushing the enemy is the second step of the plan. Although being a Taoist priest makes me crazy, I know what I must do. Finally one day, my poor master became an immortal and finally made me die! I inherited him. The first problem was solved, but the second problem came. I was beside the poor and cowardly emperor and controlled his country in my own way until I met my great-granddaughter. Who should I make emperor? Of course my granddaughter! I told her that the emperor was her enemy and everyone in the world was her enemy, so she became a Taoist priest. She is kind! She has low self-esteem! She, a silly white lotus, actually saved the heir of our enemy. She is so kind that there is no cure, so she must pay the price. I let her go undercover in the enemy's lair where there are many dangers, and accept the beatings from society! I could have deprived her of her inheritance, but I was too kind, oh, and I just loved her too much! I knew what I had to do, because that cowardly child only lived a normal life, so I made her lose potential boyfriends one after another, starting her path to becoming a strong woman... Among all the disciples, she was the only one who wanted to leave me, so ungrateful! Hateful! And very evil! It was she who made me like this! Destroy her heart and make her his heir! Now she will listen to her grandfather obediently. Maybe you think this will be cruel, but some people will call this inherited love - tough love! I ask you, is it wrong for me to take back the lost dynasty? Prince Renqing: (adopted father) Oh, no, she was very beautiful when she was little, but when she grew up... She was terrible! I never thought about having an adopted daughter, why should I raise a child for someone else? Eat me, wear me, live in me, the cost is killing me. But one day I met a little girl who looked like my dead goddess. She could bring back my youth and restlessness, so I took her as my own. But many people have been looking for this child and made that child their tool, so I took her away, hid her, and trained her to be like my goddess. Many years later, hey! For the betterment of myself, I sacrificed my time to train her. I know that young people nowadays are difficult to discipline. It is really a headache to have a child who cannot control his father. It would be easier and more effective to manipulate her, with a little guilt and a little strength. Of course, you have to lie, and constantly remind her that if you leave me, no one will protect her anymore. So strict, she can only obey me! If you were there, you would do the same, so isolate her and let her only obey me. There is only one path in her life, the path occupied by me. Children are selfish and spoiled by us, but we know what we should do. Cut off their source of income and treat her hard-heartedly, leaving her besieged on all sides, knowing that she will have nothing after leaving her father. Maybe you think this will be cruel, but some people will call this kind of protective love tough love! Ugh! I spent huge sums of money to build an Ivy Palace for her and gave her the best education and status, but she still bursts into tears with gratitude. Turns out all she wanted to do was be with my stupid cuckold brother! This poor child never knows who really loves her... Jingling Emperor: (Father) Haha, I rule this dynasty with Tai Chi, but I have more ideas, a greater plan. I never thought that the world is for the common good, so those cabinets who want to share power with me have to disappear. Suddenly one day a mysterious girl frightened them all. She was shameless, stupid, and absurdly optimistic. She wanted to arrange her life by herself. She was not realistic at all. I destroyed her whole family, and gave her a distinguished status, so that she, a wild child who had never gone to school, could get the most practical education. I promised to escort her into the palace, achieve great things, and arrange a good life for her. But later I discovered that she was too weak to hold up the wall, had no ambition, and even tried to undermine me. Moreover, all my silly sons fell in love with her in unison! Like? ! I can only watch that bullshit love? ! Waiting for her to take my son away from me? No! Her fate has already been determined! She must repay the living expenses and tuition fees I paid for her in advance, but she only plans to use elixir to compensate me? One elixir a day, will the throne be far away from me? Trio: Don't be fooled by that stinky girl's gentle smile again! That kid will only try to push himself further! We do all this for her to have a happy life and to build a carefree country. Dark, depressing, and desolate! Now let's enjoy it! Call us "evil", call us "mean", call us "cruel", that's all there is to it, you can say it's not fair, turn her stupid dreams and bullshit love into ashes, That's what we call daddy's love - tough love!
The first volume "Beauty is green, weeping like a decadent" is mainly used as a foreshadowing and introduction The second volume "Big surplus is like rushing, its uses are endless" is about the heroine's advancement path
The snow of that year has dissipated, the people of that year have gone, and the story of that year is not over yet...
Let's talk about the character of Prince Renqing: so cruel that he is shameless and so stupid that he is pathetic. The author's poem about the relationship between Prince Renqing and Yu Wanqing - "The flowers are small beside the dry grass fence, good to be seen as relics of the remaining autumn." Shangque describes the heroine Yu Wanqing, Yu Wanqing, the beautiful appearance of all things reviving in spring, but the Wanqing in the book can only be said to be a solitary grass. The "relic view" in the lower column refers to Yu Wanqing's appearance, as well as her past and present lives. In the eyes of the prince, she was just a substitute for a noble concubine from the beginning, a kind of redemption. When he first appeared, the prince was eleven years old. Watching his half-brother who lost his mother when he was young, crying, he felt heartwarming and thought he would be the protagonist. Because Xue Yu and Mo Yu were given to the two brothers respectively, he felt that he would become a decent character while Youqing, who lost his mother, would be the villain. It seems to imply that the queen and the concubine are black and white, and how the concubine died is even more strange. Farewell to Prince Renqing, he went north to save the country. During the dialogue with the military advisor, it was determined that he would be the mainstay of the entire court, a stream of fresh air, like the savior of the entire court. But after a while, he immediately turned into another person - cruel, cruel and unscrupulous. In order to bring back the military salary as soon as possible, he committed a crime that was difficult to prove and had no evidence to prove it. He also became one of the heroine's enemies, or the biggest enemy. The third meeting of the prince is the appearance of the little cat. He can love and dote on a night cat that looks like the imperial concubine's favorite cat, paving the way for the appearance of the heroine. The fourth meeting with the prince, he and the heroine met, and it was revealed that when he first met the prince, the crying young man was not sad for his poor brother, but for the concubine that he could not reach. The young man did not know love, and his life was determined by one glance. The clever arrangement was that the heroine, who was originally scheduled to be exploited by the prince, became the thorn in the side of the enemy who killed her father and escaped disaster. Of course, in order to "get back what was lost," the prince decided to erase what he had done to Yu Nancheng and hide his true intentions. "No one can be presumptuous in front of her" means ruthless and crazy. When he regarded an orphan girl as a god, it seemed destined that he would still not get this "relic", even if he fought for her and was broken into pieces. The appearance of the imperial concubine is not directly described. Perhaps the most beautiful person in the world cannot describe her appearance. From the harm to the country and the people and flattery, to the emperor's showoff and celibacy, to the prince's disobedience and madness, what kind of beautiful woman must be able to make people dream about her after death? However, this young heroine looks weak and can be bullied, but she is very strong in her bones. She trusts the prince on the surface, but the heroine's suspicious and jealous personality makes her cautiously suspicious of the prince. It can also be seen here that the prince regards the heroine as a "relic", and the heroine treats the prince as a big tree that provides shelter from the wind and rain, and everyone takes what they need. This transformation arrangement also continues the argument that the author wrote in previous books that all characters subtly redeem themselves. No matter how sanctimonious the prince is, he still has a sincerity in his heart to hide his infatuation and betray his father. The snow of that year has dissipated, the people of that year have gone, and the story of that year is not over yet...

This collection is falling down slowly. I was wondering if people didn't like Ruochong's work, so the parallel female protagonist appeared. The gentle, honest, beautiful and kind literary sister, prototype: Wu Zhao + Ci Xi + Lu Pheasant + Kui Ji... As for Ruochong... She is the villain, and the protagonist is the villain. The male protagonist is King Yu, why? Whoever has upright views and has greater responsibility will be the hero. King Qi was originally the male protagonist, but he was so good-looking that I decided to make him a vase to support the male protagonist. That's it, I'm willful.
A conscience that has been dried out, a life that has been betrayed
His name is Ronghouxuan, also known as Emperor Jingling. He was lying on the wall, looking down at the vitality outside the palace wall. He longed to grow up and live his own life. A candy painting became his dream. He may never have imagined that the age of seven would be a turning point in his life - being betrayed for the first time - the palace fight scene that everyone was used to seeing, taking for granted, and even talking about, killed an innocent or not innocent mother and son. Ronghouxuan became the only heir to the throne, whether he wanted it or not, because of his mother's masterpiece. Like many parents, they use their own ideas to influence their children's lives. She got the punishment she deserved, and the humiliation. Betrayed for the second time - Emperor Heguang's only solution to his miserable life was to transfer this pain to his son, make him the prince and emperor, make him a prisoner with no life like himself, and euphemistically call it inheritance. Betrayed for the third time - Huang Bao, who had been betrayed before. Huang Bao deceived his superiors and put down his crime, but Emperor Jingling (Rong Houxuan) chose to let him go. Now I know why Emperor Jingling wanted to protect him. He couldn't do anything to the people who had been dependent on him since childhood. According to the previous integration, those who betrayed Ronghouxuan should include the Zhao family of Zhao Jinming, the household department headed by Gong Guangjie, Prince Renqing, King Qi Youqing, Taoist priest Zhengqing... As an emperor, he could only hide in the East Palace, run the internal guards, run shady activities, and then be betrayed in endless reincarnations until the end of his life. Everyone feels that being an emperor has unlimited glory. Emperor Jingling spent his whole life in the siege, enduring deception and helplessness time and time again, just because he was the emperor. Others spend their whole lives trying to get something, but his life of hard work brings endless betrayal and betrayal...
The author... Please refer to my immature suggestion. . . Move the paragraph in the copy where the protagonist complains about the joyful style to the front of the copy. . . Because the author, your book title, cover, and the long paragraph in front of the copy are really too profound and mysterious. . . This way. . . Come on, it's so well written and I feel sad that no one will read it. . .
I have seen this article by the author countless times on the recommendation list, but I only read the introduction at most. . . I never clicked into the text to read it. I just finished reading it in one sitting. . . I want to say that it is really well written. . . But the title and introduction of your book are really too profound and mysterious. . . After reading it, I felt that this must be a very, very serious and obscure novel.
About Ruochong's bones, blood, flesh and soul.
[Bone] —The appearance of officialdom. The emperor has three magic weapons for governing the country, one is compassion, the other is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Jakauchi is the tool he uses to create chaos. Chaos is a good thing, as the saying goes, heroes are made in troubled times. Chaos is a ladder. If you don't work hard to climb it and stick to your position, everything you once had will come to nothing. In these troubled times, everyone is constantly working hard, being suppressed, being framed, and being framed. Life is a struggle, and no one can stay out of it. Flesh and blood — A pair for life. This is the male video style, which is the backbone of the book and the essence of the book. Of course, there are still some twists and turns in the book, which are flesh and blood. Some people say that this book is a group portrait. The woman in the book—— Ruochong is a little arrogant, a little crazy, a little kind, and a little fierce. He keeps saying that he is a bad person, but he does good things. Yue Niang, who was born in a poor family, was originally a miserable person, but she was a loyal wife and loving mother. Zhao Yuan, who tasted jealousy, became vicious. The imperial concubine, the emperor said she was a woman that no one could get, a woman whose beauty became a myth. Those men—— King Qi, both good and evil, wandering between black and white, all interests come first. The prince is ruthless and foolish, and believes in plundering rather than farming and studying. Zhengqing is the emperor's right-hand man, and he is also the source of trouble for seeking power. He is an expert but also a shameless person. Li Lin, a person without roots, is the most affectionate and righteous person. [Soul] —For the country, the people, and the family. Everyone is put together, and in the intertwined stories, they advance, continue, and live strong and optimistically. This is what human beings are. People are fragile, but they are also tough, they have pain, but they still have more happiness and hope. These are my thoughts and the thoughts of everyone in this book. Say yes, fight each other, bite, frame, fight back, torture, fight wits, be ruthless, decisive... It can be combined into one "Ruochong". It is said that we know each other, we are tender and affectionate, we regret, we are dependent on each other for life and death, our love is like a chain, and our hatred is like running water... It can also be combined into a "Ruochong". Wrapped in a woman's tender skin, it writes about men's struggle for hegemony. Be patient when you are patient, don't be short of breath, be ruthless when you are ruthless, and be ruthless when you are ruthless.
"Ruochong", the bone-eroding coldness.
It's no wonder why this book is not popular, because it is so real and scary. Machiavellian novels are all about making people's hearts swell, showing that as long as there is struggle, there will be light. What about "Ruochong"? There is no hope for rights, there is no yy that evil will not prevail over good, there is no good or bad, and I can't even see right from wrong. The author borrows the character's evaluation of the heroine Ruochong from the book - "There is no right and wrong in her heart, only good and evil" Even the good thoughts in the heroine's heart can face everyone, including enemies. Ruochong believes that justice requires a stance, and since she has no stance, there is no right or wrong in her eyes. Therefore, she only sees kindness that is within reach, which is to save all those who can be saved. Except for Ruochong, everyone else is an infinite cycle from ancient times to the present Emperor Jingling and Rong Youqing are one who manages by doing nothing, and the other is hands-on, but the result is still the same, and everything they do is just scratching the surface. Wang Ruzhen, Zhen Hai, the white moonlight of Darong people is still white moonlight, the mirror flowers and the moon are an empty dream. The Zhao family and the Gong family fell one after another. The irony is that they were not executed justly, but because of the change of power, they blocked the way for later generations. Groups of people have changed in the Shura field of power. Even the Imperial Academy and the so-called "just men" are just a group of people who talk about great principles, but in their hearts they are just those who follow me and those who go against me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. It's hard to be a fish, Xiang Zixu is still a silent lamb. It is difficult to characterize the characters in the play in black and white terms. The characters' actions are driven by their stance and purpose, and all developments are in line with the logic of motivation. The supporting characters will not be helpless after the protagonist attacks him, and the protagonist cannot control the supporting characters or everyone. Just like "Youfu", the informant of Rokujo who had been numb for many years suddenly awakened her conscience, which caused the emperor to be in a dilemma. It also made Youxi transform from a criminal to a righteous man, and was caught by Li Lin and King Yu. The opportunity of power gave Gong Guangjie a good excuse to "retire" and promoted Qian Zi, Mulin Lianghui and others... It depends on your ability in this Shura field, your connections, and whether you can navigate this invisible network of interests with ease. Also. The little sweetness between Ruochong and Rong Youqing is just a hand warmer in the cold winter. Compared with the long cold, it is just a short-lived drop in the pan. For readers, it is just a numbing powder when heartache.
It's very interesting. I just came to Qidian today and I discovered the treasure article 🌹 Come on, show your heart ❤️
