Not bad, not bad. So far there are no major flaws, and the pacing is good. The imperial examination episodes are quite good, but I don't know how the court episodes will be. It would be even better if the romance could be more developed, with a faster marriage pace, more depiction of their daily interactions, and the addition of beauties from the Western Regions, or the emperor bestowing beauties upon them, etc.
I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I heard the author is very handsome, and his readers are even more impressive!! I came here specifically to read it! I hope everyone will enjoy the author's work! 💕💕💕
The writing is delicate, and although it is slightly lacking in emotion, it is still quite rare compared to other works. As for the description of the court, it is very enjoyable. Please do not be deterred by the title.
I'll show you how to watch my lord bathe... I'll show you how to watch my lord bathe... I'll show you how to watch my lord bathe... (Note: Zhang Fei watching Liu Bei bathe is punished by cleaning toilets for a month.) Anyone who mistakes "lord" for "princess" must give me a like, no cheating! 😏😏
Humans are born striving upwards: to survive; to gain fame; to acquire power; to rise to the highest ranks of officialdom, to achieve unparalleled merit; to control their own destiny; to live in the idyllic paradise of Tao Yuanming, undaunted by the powerful and influential. Everything revolves around self-interest, everything around power! Life is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. No one can escape the cage of this world.
I love it so much 😘😘😘 Keep up the good work, author! (ง•̀_•́)ง
This book is pretty good; the plot logic is quite reasonable. It's a political intrigue novel, and I've been following it closely, intending to take a break for a while. Why did it suddenly stop updating? It's been three days since the last update! 🥺🥺 I usually don't comment, but I just couldn't resist. Why did it suddenly stop updating?
It's pretty good. If it can maintain this pace, it will be even better. It ranks among the top three historical fiction works.
The author's slow update speed has completely hampered the book's growth. The author should conserve energy for now and then unleash a powerful new chapter to attract more readers. Actually, the more I read, the more I realized the author was running out of steam; in many parts, they got carried away with the writing, which explains the slow update speed. I initially thought it would be a good novel about the imperial examination system and power struggles, but it got too into the officialdom.
This book is alright.
