Well written! I really like it. Keep it up!!!
Overall, the novel was pretty good. I haven't stayed up all night reading a novel in a long time, but I stayed up until 4 AM for this one 🤦. It just took a bit off track. The synopsis made me think it was about business, but then it suddenly took a big turn—he became a general. Also, the age difference was confusing.
I've read several versions of this one before. I initially thought it would be different, and the reviews seemed okay, so I gave it a try. But as I read on, I knew exactly what would happen next. It's just another knock-off.
Quite impressive, I never expected this empress.
Finally, there's a novel that can draw me into the story.
I love reading this type of novel.
The story is realistic, with vivid characters. After Cangyuan County was established, there were iron tools, wars, people's livelihoods, poetry gatherings, and the promotion of high-yield grains throughout Wei, making the food even more vivid! Finally, His Highness ascended the throne, the world was at peace, and lovers were finally united!
It was so difficult! It's so good!
