   Absolutely amazing! A cold, sickly beauty, a deposed crown prince. It has everything: madness, forced love, a double, and a white moonlight. A masterpiece! No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel sorry for him and admire him. He's constantly in a weakened state, seemingly broken to the core, but no matter what, his spirit remains unbroken. Restoring his kingdom, rebuilding his homeland—truly broken yet strong. Throughout, everyone's intelligence is on point. It's truly a watch that's always fresh and new. I've watched it many times, and each time the feeling is different. When I revisit later, I feel sorry for different characters every time. Every character is truly fleshed out. Very three-dimensional. Everyone is incredibly beautiful and handsome, and all are incredibly intelligent.

   ① Qi Yuanzuo transmigrated into a book. In this saga of six princes vying for the throne, he was the second-ranking Crown Prince, destined to be deposed and reinstated three times, twice rebelling to ascend the throne before dying by a thousand cuts. The eldest prince utterly disdained the Crown Prince, only to discover in this new life that the Crown Prince couldn't practice martial arts. This was the Crown Prince of the Great Qi, a man of both literary and martial prowess, possessing an ethereal and handsome appearance! He had defeated the Xiongnu with three arrows, torn up the peace treaty with his red-tasseled spear, and escorted the princess back to court in blood-stained armor. The streets were deserted, fruit was thrown at his carriage, and the street where he rode was renamed "Young Dragon Road"! The spear he wielded was called "Sheji" (meaning "Republic"). This was the Great Qi Crown Prince who had overshadowed even the most powerful figures in the palace! The sixth prince, with his six-dou (a unit of volume) of talent, retreated in disgrace; the eldest prince, with his Bai Qi-like courage, was only fit to be a mere ornament; the shrewd and worldly third prince could only look up in disbelief; and as for the fourth and fifth princes, they felt they couldn't even sit on a stool in front of the Crown Prince. Now, someone told him that the Crown Prince could no longer practice martial arts. ② After his unexpected death, Yinreng transmigrated into the body of the last crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. Before Yinreng could even feel happy, the system told him that he had to complete a mission to avoid his soul being scattered. Yinreng was forced to accept a weekly, ever-changing character setting, thus beginning his miserable life. When Yinreng saw the character settings of a scheming, aloof, germaphobic… even a mute, mentally challenged… he was already completely overwhelmed. Then, when there were even special versions of Kangxi, Yinzhi, Yinli… Yinreng just wanted to die.
