   I think it's amazing! The first two books are by the same author, and the second book is a sequel to the first! The last book really amazed me, although the updates are a bit slow. But it's the best ancient Chinese romance novel with a female protagonist disguised as a man that I've ever read!

   I've finished the whole book. Actually, the female lead isn't a saint; she's just helping within her means. Don't let some comments cloud your judgment. I actually think the author's descriptions are very delicate and well-handled. It didn't feel like one of those melodramatic ancient Chinese novels I've read. I think it's great, haha! It's been a long time since I finished a book! A very good read.

   It's truly worth reading. Initially, I wasn't interested because of the title; it had been gathering dust on my bookshelf for months. I only recently stumbled upon it during a reading slump, and once I started, I was hooked. I've only read a couple hundred chapters so far, but I estimate it will take me many days to finish. The author is truly cultured; many phrases are beautifully rhymed and the imagery is excellent. Unlike most novels that directly quote ancient poems, this one is mostly original. For example, the poem Yuheng wrote for the imperial examination was entirely his own, demonstrating his high level of cultural literacy. I really admire Yuheng's warm and loving relationship with his family. He has the people in his heart and has genuinely done so much for them. The people here are also grateful and repay kindness; some even secretly offer him longevity tablets, which is heartwarming. His clansmen are all very kind, and the relationships between them are harmonious and beautiful. Our Brother Mingli is truly the best brother in the world! There are so many wonderful and heartwarming moments; I highly recommend everyone to read it.
