A true masterpiece! After reading this pure historical romance, I can never read those melodramatic reincarnation/transfer novels again. The author's literary skill is profound; whether it's court intrigue, the final battle for the throne, the tender moments in the courtyard, the life-or-death race in the snow, or unwavering devotion… every scene is gripping!
As the long review mentioned, I think the author did an exceptional job in character development and plot progression. What saddens me most is that the plot still creates many obstacles for the male and female leads, using conflict to make their love unforgettable and the plot vivid. In essence, it is still an ancient romance novel. In Lin'an, fireflies chased after Shen Huaixu's horse.
At first, I thought it was just another maidservant relying on the male lead. But the more I read, the more I realized this wasn't just a novel, but rather an exploration of how the times have influenced women. The female author has changed, and so has the protagonist.
I started reading it yesterday and caught up. The novel is very good. The female lead isn't love-struck and has her own ideas. She also knows how to be submissive and manipulative in front of the male lead. The male lead is a playboy who hides his identity in the early stages, but later he achieves great success. The male and female leads are evenly matched. I want more! Author, please update soon.
It's really good. The female lead isn't a saint or a coward, and the male lead is also pure.
The author's concept is ingenious, and the plot is full of twists and turns that are captivating. The characters in the book have both a strong sense of national responsibility and deep personal feelings. It's a really good novel on Tomato, but the rating is a bit low. I recommend everyone to read it and give it a boost!
I almost gave up on this book because of its low ratings, but thankfully the reviews kept me reading. I didn't expect it to be such a good book. The plot is tight, the characters are vivid, and the story unfolds captivatingly. I devoured it for two days, forgetting to eat or sleep, and finished it with great reluctance. I hope to see the extra chapters the author mentioned. Good wine needs no bush; good books await discovery.
It's really good! At first, I wasn't too keen on reading it based on the title, just browsing casually. But it was a complete surprise! The female lead is clever and cute, and the male lead is a playboy, but he's just pretending. I've only watched a few dozen episodes, but I couldn't help but give it a good review! 😂
The plot is touching, the female lead is intelligent and wise, she faces difficulties head-on and perseveres in her love, making her worthy of the male lead's willingness to sacrifice everything for her. It brought tears to my eyes. The author's writing is excellent, I highly recommend this book.
It's really amazing! The male lead seems like a playboy, but he has a hidden story. He appears cruel to the female lead, but he's actually protecting her. At least so far, both are virgins. It's so good, why isn't anyone watching? 😢😢
