Two male leads, younger man/older woman, both strong, political intrigue, alternate history, intense war, Feng Ye & Yan Sikong, delicate writing, slow-paced plot, vivid characters, grand structure, dramatic twists and turns, exciting content, captivating! Having read so many stories, Shui Qiancheng's story of chasing the king is truly impressive.
This is a truly valuable book by Brother Shui; I've read it three times. The plot is tight and doesn't drag, with well-connected storylines. Yuan Ang's death will always be the biggest regret. 😢😢😢
I read it before and especially loved the characters and plot. The supposedly universally disliked trope of Feng Ye getting married and having children actually served to enrich his character—at least he knew what he needed to do to solidify his career instead of just focusing on finding a partner.
Although it can be infuriating to read, it's still incredibly good!! This book is simply the pinnacle of ancient Chinese political intrigue besides "Bring in the Wine" 😭
Brother Shui, this is the most valuable book you've ever written! 😘😘 Wife, wife, I love you like a mouse loves rice!
As a loyal fan of Qian Cheng, I reread almost all of her works every now and then, probably seven or eight times now. "The Pursuit of the King" is my favorite; I love it every time I read it, and it even disrupts my sleep schedule. Qian Cheng's writing is clear and well-structured, with delicate and deeply moving stories.
I read it again, and I still can't forget the shock I felt when I first read "The Pursuit of Kings." Even though I've read it many times, I gain new insights every time. For me, "The Pursuit of Kings" will always be my number one ancient Chinese BL novel.
It's a really good show, and I felt so sorry for Yan Sikong. The middle part was so heartbreaking, especially the part about Feng Ye, which was incredibly painful. If only he had trusted her more.
A 7.7 Rating for this book? 🍅 That's unbelievable. While it's not perfect, it easily deserves an 8.5 Or higher! Highly recommended!
"The Pursuit of the King" is truly a masterpiece by Shui Ma, reaching the level of her earlier works like "The Foster Father" and "The Cambrian Rebirth." The political intrigue is logically sound and easy to understand, with a very engaging plot. Unlike some novels, which either have simplistic characters and plots or overly ornate language that leaves readers confused, this one is exceptional.
