[Read with caution: irresistible male lead + no female lead + court politics + 1v1]
Possessive, scheming pursuer X beautiful, deceptively dark civil official
Lan Yu, the young Vice Minister of Personnel of the Great Feng Dynasty, was exceptionally handsome and refined, with an illustrious family background. He was the son of Lan Shu, a great scholar of his age.
To investigate the death of a close family member, he willingly became embroiled in a succession struggle, facing danger time and again.
He was ambitious and adept at navigating court politics.
Then he met Pei Ji, a stubborn new scholar whose affection was direct and passionate.
Just as Lan Yu began to respond, he discovered that the Pei Ji he had met during the metropolitan examination was not the original "Pei Ji."
Zhang Xuanling, the National Preceptor who had vanished thirty years ago, returned to the imperial capital wearing a red demon mask. He was both righteous and wicked, arrogant and obsessive.
Yet he insisted on moving into the Lan residence.
After the real culprit is slain, can everything return to how it was before?
Shameless enough to give yourself a rating 😜
This novel is really good! It has many unexpected plot points. I initially thought it would unfold this way or that, but as I read on, it was completely different from what I expected. It doesn't follow any clichés, and it really got my competitive spirit going!
Yay! I've finally caught up with the author's pace! I really love this book, so I've been determined to finish it in one day! Besides the great story, the author's writing is also excellent; the language, expressions, and psychological descriptions are all very well done. I'll definitely keep reading!
To be honest, I'm not very picky about novels, but I don't read everything either. I don't like some that are vulgar or poorly written, but this book happens to avoid those pitfalls, and the author's writing also makes you think deeply in many places.
Haha, I forgot to leave a review, sorry! I really liked this book, but there were some parts I wasn't entirely satisfied with. It felt like our Lanzhou University students were going to get bullied, which made me quite nervous while reading.
This book is quite heartfelt. I've actually tried writing novels before, but I always encountered problems like illogical plots and unrealistic storylines. Because I've experienced that myself, I'm willing to take a few minutes to review this book and offer my encouragement, appreciating the author's hard work.
Lan Yu's character is well-developed; she is gentle, wise, calm, and composed, with a very reserved and elegant scholarly image. Zhang Xuanling, on the other hand, is a super big boss—an old devil with the power to oppose the royal family and a deep loyalty to the royal family (evil grin).
It was so, so, so good! But why didn't I see it when it was finished?! Do you know how it felt when it was gone just as I was getting into it and looking forward to the next chapter? I went crazy, I screamed, I punched and kicked! Author, please update soon!
Well, I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I'm really eager to let everyone know how good this book is. The author's writing style is, in my opinion, quite good; I can't find any fault with it. Secondly, I really like the plot and its structure. Regardless of how popular it becomes, I love it.
Excellent! I love the author's writing style; the antique charm is immediately apparent. The author also demonstrates a good level of cultural knowledge, noting that some unusual elements are clearly marked. While the story is fictional, it respects historical and cultural traditions.
