Although the later chapters moved me and made me want to give it five stars... But it still doesn't work. Author, the early part of this book is really bad; the character development and plot are both weak. I know you wanted to write a gradual and natural development of the male and female leads' relationship, but you just can't capture that feeling.
This story would be better if it were around 400,000 words. Overall, it's a fast-paced, enjoyable read, with the romance between the male and female leads developing very quickly. The shortcomings are that some plot twists are too abrupt and lack sufficient build-up, and there are several instances where the introduction of supporting characters is clearly forced to advance the plot. Hopefully, the author will improve with each subsequent installment.
Luo Wanyue, whose parents were murdered and who was abandoned at a mountain villa by her uncle's family, was fortunate enough to learn medicine. Through a marriage contract, she married Gu Xunzhi, the Prime Minister of the court, and used her medical skills to save Gu Xunzhi and Prince Rui, Xiao Jingyi, who had been afflicted with a rare poison since childhood.
The male and female leads' quick and decisive acceptance of their marriage agreement upon meeting is intelligent and straightforward, without any deliberate affectation. The pace is fast, there's a touch of romance, and the love is sweet and intense. The plot is tight, and both the grand court and the small family are well-developed (by the author), making for a satisfying and enjoyable read.
The story is enjoyable and heartwarming. The female lead isn't the typical all-rounder; she's a doctor, but not a sewer, can't cook, and when she's hungry, all she wants to eat is a radish—which is quite amusing. The male lead is rather cunning; he's in a wheelchair during the tea ceremony at the wedding, and no one dares to offer him a toast, treating it as just a formality. Kudos to the author!
So far, it's been pretty good, and it makes you want to keep watching. The female lead has an interesting personality, and the male lead is the kind of guy who's a bit cunning but very gentle with the female lead. Overall, it's pretty much to my liking.
It's sweet, but not cloying. I've seen this book recommended in bookstores many times. After reading the synopsis, I wasn't really interested in reading it the first few times. But recently, I saw it again and thought it might be worth a try, so I ended up reading it to the end! 😄😄😄 It's a very well-written book! Thumbs up and recommendation! 😘😘😘
I've just read up to chapter 15. The author's writing is delicate. The male lead is powerful, intelligent, and wise. The female lead has clear goals and is good at using others' strengths to her advantage. She is also good at assessing situations and is clear-headed. She can protect herself while achieving her own goals.
I stumbled upon this book by the author, and as a girl who absolutely loves reading books with historical plots, I think it's fantastic! I really enjoyed reading it and highly recommend it!

What a sweet and heartwarming little story! It's a love story that blossoms from the heart, and the male lead dotes on the female lead. It's so sweet! The eight-year age gap is like raising a daughter while also raising a loving wife. It's definitely worth reading. There's no angst throughout, and both the male and female leads are very clear-headed and normal.
