Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

As a traitor, Yue Lingxi knew that in order to turn her life around, she had to be loyal to the emperor.

When there were assassins attacking, she stood in front to defend, and when there were corrupt officials causing trouble, she stood at the forefront to protect her fellow soldiers.

But the emperor instead flew into a rage, and there was a chill in the air as he spoke to her.

“You are so diligent. Should I award you a plaque?”

“Your Majesty, serving the emperor faithfully is my duty.”

“Xi Xi, to be loyal to the monarch, one must first love the monarch, do you understand?”

Little Red Riding Hood, who has strong survival skills but fell into the trap of love, versus the Big Bad Wolf who is always ready to pounce.

The female protagonist is not the type of bodyguard, but she is intelligent and tenacious, and not at all weak.

Important matters should be prominently displayed.

This has a dynamic and interesting beginning. A young girl with impeccable memory recall and strategic instincts is in the middle of a battle between two armies. In the chaos she and a high ranking soldier save a little boy and each other. Not enough has occurred to say how the overall story will evolve from there to the situation described in the synopsis. Still the set-up is engaging. Both characters seem honorable and smart. Usually web novels sacrifice one or the other in characters. Hope it can keep up... more>> the excellent characterization and action. <<less

As Youtoon has said above, this story does start with an intriguing plot, as we are thrown onto a battlefield with our female main Yue lingxi. Though the story has not enveloped properly, translator currently at chapter 5 as of time of publication, it has a good setup, with the female leads wits certainly catching your attention. I will rate it a 3 for the time being as nothing worth noting has been translated for me to rate it higher. Certainly however, if the story keeps up at the same... more>> quality that it does currently then I will definitely consider it at least a 4, or even 5?

Give the story a go, while it's still updating it has definitely made a slight impression of me and should do the same for you.

I'm not sure why there are low ratings considering this story is pretty good! It does have a very quick start. There is barely any introduction from the characters as the author probably assumes we've read the prequel.

The storyline is fast-paced and already full of intrigue.

However, just like her prequel, it is an interesting read and I like Chu Xiang, our ML a lot as he does resemble his mother.

I do feel like the progression of the romance is a bit fast. The FL seems to pretend not to notice... more>> the ML's advances or is she just oblivious to them? On the other hand, since the ML is her savior she might think it is right for her to give herself to him? She has very low self-esteem btw and I enjoy seeing how the ML struggles to lift her up.

Looking forward to the completion of the translation. Superb translation. <<less

I didn't read the prequel and it didn't feel necessary at any time.

MC is totally a breath of fresh air in the romantic department, if you get what I mean.

She's smart, strong and flawed. She has her own trauma, and even things she avoids or kind of mishandled emotionally, which may give us a bit of frustration to us readers but it also made her feel human.

ML is honestly great, one could say he is manipulative but in a very considerated and harmless way. Plus she is very willing, even... more>> though she is kind of numb to romantic feelings at the start.

He is quite straightforward too and very fast in recognizing his own feelings, but from what I got, it seems he got that from his mother.

No third party here, and if there kind of was ("a second ml"), it caused no problem at all and there's also no toxic pissing contest between him and the ML, after all, they are indeed family.

Though, I admit, the ML was pretty understanding on that front, but then, he ain't a cruel person and he is pretty sure of her love for him so he wouldn't make a fuss about it, which was refreshing. <<less

Honestly this book has left me in a bit of a pickle... I've read so many chinese novels but rarely ones that really leave such an impression on me. The ML for me was THE ML.

I loved the FL as well and just the dynamics of their relationship. Now I'm struggling to find my next book because this book has just raised the bench mark for me. I've read both books of the author and this is my favourite of the two.

Very interesting FL..a fresh view after some other typical pretty smart or scheming kind. However I feel that backstory of some character is a little lackluster and some character have so much potential this include villians but the novel just skim them true.. All in all a 7.9/10

This is the most undestanding ML ever.

While the FL was super independent and resilient in the first arc of the story, soon she struggled with her new found relationship and took a back seat among the action in the novel. I guess this discouraged me. But the intricacies and depth of the story is well-written. So all in all, this novel gives a realistic feeling.

The FL is very calm and smart. Not the usual (tender I will be hurt if I touch water type) fl. She has a very good temper too. Very suitable with the ML temperament.

I love the dynamic between FL and ml. Their romances are very sweet and somewhat refined not crude nor toxic. The ML is very reasonable and smart not oppressive or mildly abusive like usual ML in c web novel.

In short, it's a nice romance story with overall good character settings and plot. I enjoy reading it.

I'm not as eloquent as the other reader's here but truthfully speaking there are only a few days in the entire year where I go without thinking of this novel and it's characters. It was really beautifully written and realistically depicted. Despite the characters' several flaws they manage to captivate the reader.

The ML is really understanding and caring towards the FL. I would recommend the others to read it. I hope that you find the joy that I found while reading it.

An invigorating story about war, politics, and love.

Well-written and well-translated, this story will sit in your heart for a long time after reading it!

FL is very realistically written, she has many flaws but remains strong in the face of adversity. ML is stubborn but strives for the right things.

This story's romance doesn't feel like a typical romance, there's not so much heart fluttering, blushing moments - a weak point I would say would be FL's reaction to Mal's advances towards her. Sometimes it feels a little assault-y but the author... more>> never lets it get too far.

Interesting story and interesting characters! Would suggest to give it a try, the action in the beginning is blood pumpingly good <<less
