   The author portrayed the protagonist (shou) so vividly and realistically. Outsiders only see Jing Shu's glory and invincibility, but they don't know that his journey wasn't always smooth. If Jing Shu were the crown prince prayed for by everyone, what a blazing light he would be! He should have been unparalleled in his life, but how could a firefly's light compete with the bright moon? 🥹🥹 It can be said that Jing Shu possesses the qualities of "inner sage and outer king," "Though millions oppose me, I will go forth..." The ending, where Jing Shu assists the other protagonist (gong), is a bit of a pity, as he should have been the supreme ruler. However, it feels like a normal development; the Jing Dynasty was beyond saving, and the protagonist didn't care about empty fame, only wanting peace and prosperity. If the protagonist had been born a few decades earlier, he might have been able to unify the country... I originally wanted to give it a 4, but I'll give it a 5 to encourage the author. Many of Jing Shu's later highlights are due to the other protagonist's support. 😔😔 But it's still a very good read, and I hope you won't stop reading because of this! Let's talk about the seme (dominant partner). It's clear the author focuses more on the uke (submissive partner) and less on the seme, but it still suits my taste. The seme turns forced love into pure love—he deserves to have a wife! The female characters in Jing Shu's story are very well-developed and fleshed out, such as Yu Chan, Atuna, and Zhao Yun. They are loyal and righteous. Yu Chan's suicide was only so that Atuna and the others wouldn't be forced by the enemy. 🥹🥹 It's a pity about Yun Niang.
