   The male lead has normal values and no mindless cheat codes like a system or photographic memory. The characters' personalities remain largely unchanged from the original work, and there's no attempt to smear or whitewash anyone. There's a single female lead, Xue Baochai, and plenty of sweet romance. The style is close to the original novel, the logic is relatively rigorous, and it's suitable for readers with a certain level of literary appreciation.
