   (Not 9.0) It felt like reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a chaotic era of power struggles. Didn't I really feel that "Master Yin" and "Young Master" had the air of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei?

    Absolutely fantastic! It's a historical political intrigue novel with two strong protagonists and two emperors. Just a heads-up: both characters are not chaste (but since they're both monarchs, there are no concubines involved after they get together). The author's writing is excellent, and they have a wealth of knowledge; the historical etiquette and systems are largely accurate. It reads very smoothly and without any awkwardness (which I personally appreciate 😁). Although it's still ongoing, you can give it a try and see how it goes.
