Beloved at the Door
To work as a constable, it was inevitable for enemies to take revenge, so Shangguan Yan never gave others the opportunity to seek revenge.
“Miss looks a bit familiar.” The cold and handsome Gongzi stared at her.
“I never venture out the main door nor cross over the threshold of the side door. Gongzi must be mistaken.” She replied shyly.
When both of them met again the second time, the cold and handsome Gongzi stared at her.
“For someone who doesn’t venture out of the main door nor cross over the threshold of the side door, how come you have started to do business?”
“My family is in difficulties and there are elders and young in the family. It’s beyond my control.”
The third time they met, the cold and handsome Gongzi stared at her.
“Miss is decked in expensive finery from head to toe. Your family doesn’t seem to be in difficulties.”
“Don’t just look at my glamorous appearance, in fact, I am not favored in my family.” She said tearfully with grievance.
When the criminal case was brought to court, it was only then she saw the Lord Imperial Commissioner sitting on his high seat and she finally understood what it meant by ‘being crushed to death by government officials’.
“Constable Shangguan, what else do you have to say?” The cold and handsome Gongzi stared at her.
She was dumbfounded and screamed in her heart.
This fellow is indeed here to seek revenge!

2/19/24... honestly... I'd almost rate this 2.5 stars - cuz I did not warm up to ML. Like sure he's in love but IMO he didn't really show it and was way too manipulative and controlling. It gave me flashbacks/trauma of HaoLan where asshole [ML] freezes out FL at the end of his life "so she'll remember him forever" like ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME OMFG.
Also since all the other books were so short this one really felt like "closure" for the other couples/the continuation ... so it was just ... meh the romance really lost out/there was such a shift.

OH MY GOD 😱😱😱😹😹😹☠️☠️☠️ c10 the way FL figures out to get the account book
C11 >.> tbh I’m judging FL for not looking into Di Jing’s background after she got back 2 years ago or esp recently when she ran into him… also wonder why she’s attending the banquet as her sister 🤷🏻♀️
C13… continuity error - didn’t she call the guard’s name in the past? But now she’s saying she never knew it? 🙄😒
C18 I feel grumpy ML is the imperial commissioner & talking advantage of his position to coerce FL. I get she tricked him in the past but ☹️. Woo her, you asshole!
I hope FL & her nominal fiancé have a big lovey scene that makes ML want to eat his spleen.
C21 *fist pump* go fiancé! More of jealous ML. 😡 don’t like how he just gets to control FL 😡😡😡😡😡
C52 omfg the emperor dropping in for a visit ☠️ (how far is this governor from the imperial city? 🤷🏻♀️)
Loved how they resolved the second/co wife thing & tied the hands of the emperor though 😜💯
*blinks* damn. I read a review saying the ending sucked and… even so reading c57 I was like “wtf that’s it? This was such a petered out let down” 😐
End of c56 too felt so random I even wondered if the translator had missed shit but I guess not.
So many hanging threads like uh is Rong ShaoYing actually a secret ~prince? And so WTF like he hates the hell out of their 2nd sister so… what dude can just… run around constantly trying to kill her? But also maybe he’s a criminal who was involved in the salt corruption?
Too many loose ends 😒
Also this ML was the worst. Just felt too manipulative and controlling.
>.> added the second read to count for the other books I've read 2/19/24 ish
but also that this book was more than twice the length of the others.
