The best BL novel, bar none. I initially thought it was a male-oriented political intrigue story, and I was completely stunned when they kissed. However, their love is so beautiful; the Crown Prince gives the male lead the greatest love within his power. So sweet, so incredibly sweet! Highly recommended!!!
This book is really good; it has a grand vision. Ao Ji was only in his early twenties. Some people joked that he treated Yan Junyu like a father raising a son. Who knew that Yan Junyu truly treated him like a father? I cried when I learned that he was fighting on the battlefield and almost wouldn't come back. Such a good person, Yan Junyu, who treated him like a father, must have been heartbroken. Thankfully, he came back.
This book isn't all about love; it constructs a reasonable and realistic world where everyone has their own life path and their own sense of national duty. The eagle wasn't chained up, and the dragon in the golden cage regained its light. A figure in red leaps down, and the timidity brought by the Ye family disappears completely in Ao Laosan's arms.
If you have the patience, you'll discover that this book is truly a gem, incredibly brilliant, and the author's writing skills are solid, especially in classical Chinese. The structure is rigorous, and the entire text flows smoothly and effortlessly, making it a delightful read.
A 9.4 Rating is definitely too low. I don't know if the author consulted a lot of materials while writing this book, or if they are simply very knowledgeable, but the use of allusions and references is just right, without feeling like pedantry.
I enjoy reading political intrigue stories, not the kind that's exaggerated and described as characters who can manipulate events at will. I want to see concrete actions, explained in plain language, showing how people navigate the complexities of power and scheme to conquer the world. This author really writes exceptionally well (›´ω`‹).
It's absolutely fantastic! The characters are so vividly portrayed; Yan Yan is constantly growing, and Xiao Yun's love is both possessive and restrained. They're such a perfect match! I absolutely adore the female characters Ye Xuanji and Yun Lan—they're so clear-headed and independent, with such a grand vision. The author's writing is superb; it's truly a rare gem among Tomato's works.
The second book received a five-star rating, how come it only got an 8.1? Luckily, I didn't miss it. It has a happy ending, and every character is deeply portrayed. Although it has two male leads, it doesn't neglect the female characters either. Ye Xuanji and Yun Lan are particularly memorable, like little suns. This romance novel not only heals Xiao Yun but also brings warmth to those around him.
Exquisite, meticulous, and elegant—a rare find. From the scenes to the characters, everything is exquisitely crafted, brimming with classical charm. Don't treat it as a quick read; read it as a literary work. The author is talented and has profound knowledge! I highly recommend everyone read it carefully and to the end!
In my opinion, Tomato has no better novel than this one, especially in its detailed and insightful portrayal of political intrigue, and its thorough analysis of the characters. The author always gives me the impression of laying bare his heart.
