Naughty Little Darling, the Abstinent Regent Can’t Get Enough of You

Seriously, I don't usually write reviews, but this book is really good. It's not too long, and the male lead is a little mute, but misunderstandings are always resolved quickly. The female lead is beautiful and capable, and not a soft-hearted person (I'm not good at expressing myself, but it's really, really good, highly recommended!!!).

The plot is good, and the writing is also good. The only problem is that the emperor shouldn't call the male lead "Imperial Uncle" in a proper way. The male lead is ostensibly the son of the Empress Dowager's brother (but actually the Empress Dowager), and the emperor is the Empress Dowager's son. So the emperor and the male lead should be cousins. Even if we follow the author's given "Imperial Uncle" generation, Qi Shu shouldn't call Ning Ning (the female lead) "Imperial Sister-in-law," but rather "Imperial Aunt." In short, the author is messing up the generational issues.

This is a story of mutual redemption. The heroine, whose family was falsely accused and wiped out, was forcibly taken to the palace and made a concubine, instantly gaining widespread fame for her beauty. The hero was the offspring of the Empress Dowager and a eunuch, a fact the Empress Dowager considered shameful. From childhood, he was considered a monster and imprisoned in armor, facing death several times. Later, the hero destroyed the heroine's country, and the palace was filled with blood. The heroine huddled in a corner and was discovered by the hero. She asked, "Can I take revenge?" And so, under the hero's gaze, she personally killed the enemy who had wiped out her family. The hero took this beautiful flower back to his country and raised her in his mansion. When the poison took effect, the heroine was in unbearable pain, and the hero tenderly comforted her, finding warmth in each other. The hero, as the regent, was ashamed of his birth and did not believe he was worthy of love; the heroine, whose country had been destroyed and who was now a foreign concubine, did not believe she would be truly loved. One was a delicate flower, the other cold as a sword; amidst the power struggles, their feelings gradually warmed, and their hearts were proven true. You are my salvation, and I am your only one. Amidst the ups and downs of officialdom, will the rest of our lives be peaceful? Will the heroine's only surviving brother be reunited? The author's writing is fluid; it's a very special story with a unique narrative style, gently unfolding a tale of redemption.

Ugh. The story hasn't even finished the main couple's plot, and they're already starting on the daughter's feelings. It's like the daughter is mentally challenged. Also, the female lead doesn't even know her real brother is dead until she dies. I really can't stand this. The female lead must have felt so wronged.

The writing is very detailed, but the plot is somewhat illogical, especially later on. It's strange that the regent is imprisoned; the male lead is so strong earlier, but then suddenly becomes incredibly weak. It's not like this was necessary; the emotional torment is rather puzzling. Wouldn't it have been better for the two of them to simply retire into seclusion, or even fake their deaths? Why did they have to be imprisoned and tortured?

It's so beautiful!

The writing style is alright. But I feel the storyline isn't very clear; it's quite confusing. The turning points in the story aren't well-defined.

Well, how should I put it? It was well-written, but around chapter 100, it hit a nerve with me.

It's very beautiful and sweet, sweet but not cloying. I really love the prince's doting affection for Song Ning.

The writing is very delicate, and I really enjoyed the development of the romance between the male and female leads; the kisses and hugs were so sweet. The political intrigue was also great. It's a super good read!
