   [No romance + slice-of-life + beloved by the group + historical accuracy enthusiasts beware + time travel + nurturing story] The protagonist grew up alongside Erfeng Xuanba as a study companion, eventually becoming Erfeng's half-brother. Ake's character is vividly portrayed (he idolizes Erfeng, practically a die-hard fan), with a wonderful personality: lively, sincere, sunny, cheerful, understanding, cute, affectionate, honest, kind, capable, innocent, and incredibly adorable. No one could dislike Ake (except Li Yuanji; hopefully, the protagonist will get his revenge later, but it seems unlikely, given he's a prince). The "loved by the group" aspect isn't blind or mindless; it's more about the protagonist climbing over his master's head. The novel, "Pet Raising," takes into account the historical context, including the hierarchy of elders and juniors. It perfectly captures the relationship between Erfeng Xuanba and Ake, with their daily interactions being incredibly cute and endearing. The later scenes involving raising children are also exceptionally well-written. Ake never actively leads or alters major historical events or junctures, remaining a detached observer throughout. While Ake is known for his laziness, he also works diligently out of compassion for historically renowned kings and generals. In short, it's a very enjoyable read; I didn't skip a single chapter. Highly recommended!

    Zi'an leaned closer to Xiao Si and whispered, "Xiao Si, look at the table across from us. That young man in the scholar's hat is Qi Wuzhen. He's also here for the Yellow Crane Tower banquet tonight." Xiao Si turned her eyes and looked in the direction Zi'an pointed. At the opposite table sat a refined man with an extraordinary air about him. His brows exuded a serene and distant quality, and he seemed even more scholarly than described in poems. Xiao Si couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Oh my, is it really him? He looks like a scholar, even his burp sounds so 'poetic'." She fiddled with her wine glass, deliberately raising her voice to attract the attention of the handsome men: "Is Wang Wei here to 'write a poem for him' again? His story of 'resigning from office and going into seclusion,' if written as a poem, would definitely become a classic example of Tang Dynasty literati!" Zi An smiled and gently covered her mouth: "Why don't you write him 'Resigning from Office and Leaving the Poetry World,' and see if he admires your foresight!" Xiao Si's eyes lit up, and she said seriously, "Or, you could come with me and ask him about 'lofty' poetic realms, and see if we can write something like 'The Shadow of the Yellow Crane Tower,' didn't you say he's better at 'understated poetry'?"
