After a sudden coup, Jiang Mingxi lost both her parents and became the most awkwardly placed royal mascot in the dynasty. To stay alive, she played the pig to eat the tiger, submitting to and currying favor with her enemies.
In other people's eyes, Jiang Mingxi was timid and weak, possessing all the honor of her station but none of its dignity. She was a living monument to the Emperor's vaunted tolerance and benevolence.
In truth, she was vicious and ambitious, a venomous snake coiled within the palace, waiting for the moment to strike and take a life. One day, she would devour everyone.
But he eventually caught a glimpse of the true face no one knew, and made it a weapon to coerce her.
He said, "I'll conceal your true face and help you get revenge. How about we join forces in our villainy?"
"...All right."
So she gave herself to him and let him control her. They truly became partners in "crime."
A true hunter often appears in the guise of prey.
Only when the hunter loosed his hidden arrow did he realize that he had been her pawn all along. From the very beginning, he had been walking straight into her trap.
Later, once he was no longer useful, she cast him aside without a second thought.
She said, "Lu Yin, I have never loved you."
He smiled. "Jiang Mingxi, you're the cruelest woman I've ever met."
The progress of the male and female protagonists is too fast, a bit inexplicable, and the heroine's wisdom vest is not highlighted.
In the ever-changing palace, Jiang Mingxi was like a rose trying to survive in the cracks. In the eyes of everyone in the palace, she was the pitiful person who could be manipulated at will. Every time she bows her head, every time she flatters her enemies, they are all sacrifices she makes in order to survive. But beneath that seemingly weak appearance, there is a tough and calculating heart. She cleverly takes advantage of the contempt of those around her to hide her true face. This ability of forbearance and disguise is amazing. Lu Yin's appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. He grabbed Jiang Mingxi's handle and tried to control her. Little did he know that he had stepped into the trap set by Jiang Mingxi from the very beginning. She pretends to cater to him, and in the process of getting along, every look and every word may be part of her plan. She is like a skilled chess player, and Lu Yin is just a piece on her chessboard. However, fate is always full of variables. In this conspiracy-filled relationship, the seeds of love quietly took root and sprouted. Their hearts beat for each other inadvertently. But in the palace, trust is the most luxurious thing. Jiang Mingxi knows this very well, so even if there is love in her heart, she still maintains that vigilance and determination. Behind the heavy curtains of the palace, Lu Yin's figure is full of vicissitudes and stories. He has been shrouded in darkness from the beginning of his life. His mother's departure and his father's indifference and abuse are like shackles of thorns, trapping him in the abyss of pain. Being sent to the capital as a hostage was a ruthless banishment by fate. During those long years of loneliness, the desire for power in his heart was like a candle in the dark night, swaying but persistent. He tried to use power as a sword to break through the prison of fate and earn a trace of dignity and peace for himself. But Jiang Mingxi was like a sudden strong wind, completely disrupting his world. When he saw through her disguise, he thought he had the key to controlling the situation, but little did he know that he was stepping into her carefully crafted web of love and intrigue. But in this seemingly dangerous game, his heart sank involuntarily. The news of the fetus in her belly was like the dawn, penetrating the layers of gloom in his heart. At that moment, the power that I had been pursuing so hard seemed like a passing cloud. His world began to have a new center - home. This dream that was once out of reach is now within reach. Even if he knew that her love might be false, so what? He is willing to risk everything for this warmth. I like the role of the heroine very much because I think she has become the girl in my dreams.
Who does the heroine end up with? Does the heroine love Lu Yin? She is still with Feng Guangting. The introduction says that the heroine got what she wanted in the end. She said she has never loved Lu Yin. Does that mean she likes Feng Guangting?
It's really good-looking. It's the best book I've ever read.
