Ye Nian, the legitimate daughter of the Protector General’s household, fell for Zhao Mocheng at first sight when she was twelve. He was a proud, refined scholar her father had taken in. At fifteen, she returned victorious from the frontier with her father. The ebony hairpin Zhao Mocheng tucked into her hair was enough to make her joyfully accept his proposal. On their wedding day, she learned that her father was the man who had killed his father. In the three years that followed, Zhao Mocheng doted on his concubine and neglected and humiliated his wife, plotting at every turn until he killed Ye Zhao and slaughtered her entire family. In her previous life, he tricked her into taking poison, crippled her martial arts, and severed her hand tendons. In despair, she bit through her tongue and died.
Reborn, she returns with decisive resolve and an unbending spirit, ready to turn the tables! Riding alone into battle, she rescues the Third Prince from an ambush and foils the scoundrel’s scheme. Back in the capital, she swiftly divorces him, unravels the truth behind Rongcheng eighteen years ago, and eliminates everyone threatening the General’s household! Jealous? Fond of women? Always at the brothels? And somehow she’s become Prince Jin’s long-adored white moonlight? “If you’ll be mistress of the imperial harem, I’ll offer you the whole world as your bride price! If you won’t, I’ll abandon the throne and give you a life with only one partner, forever!” She barely withstands Xiao Siyu’s boundless devotion before turning around and falling into the heart of the young master of Black Feather Tower. This stunning, cold-hearted beauty smiles only for her. “As long as you remain in Great Wei, the Shangliao army will never cross the border. That is my promise to you.”
He's handsome, he's my second male lead! Sigh.
It's good to watch, but the process is too agonizing. It was really painful to watch, so I skipped through it.
I enjoy watching generals protect their country, but the female lead, even after being reborn, isn't very bright. The male lead, the Third Prince Jin, is quite good ❤️, and the ending is happy.
The author's writing is eloquent, the story is full of humor, and it's a delightful read.
Before I knew it, I had finished reading it, and I felt a little unsatisfied. The plot was unconventional, the writing was smooth and flowing, and each of the second male leads was unique and memorable.
This is the book with the best storyline I've ever read. The plot is captivating.
It was incredibly exciting to watch, with each scene tightly linked to the next.
It's not bad. Although the female lead is a bit quirky, her character is quite admirable. It would have been better if she ended up with Bai Chen; Prince Jin always falls short, and Xiao Jin is much more likable!
This is a female-centric novel; the male leads are supporting characters. I haven't finished reading it yet, so I can't give an objective review. So far, besides the female lead, the second male lead seems more compelling. Mo Yuan is the crown prince of Liao, and I feel he's the most tragic character in the book. He loves but cannot have her.
The ending was good, but the beginning was a bit angsty! The female lead almost became a naive, infatuated womanizer.
