   It's much better than your average time-travel novel. I don't understand why not many people read it; maybe it's because it's set in the Qing Dynasty. But it's really interesting and quite funny. Although it's a time-travel novel, it's closer to real-life experiences...

   Do not go meekly into that good night, for passion is extinguished by the twilight. ★★★★★ Epic fantasy, not a wish-fulfillment story.
