    Reader note

    I just found it today and finished reading it all. The author writes very well and listens to everyone's opinions. The combination of a proud and loyal character is excellent. I only have one small suggestion: I think the princess could be a little more assertive with Xiao Jin sometimes (occasionally). I hope their future will be better, happier, and with less pain. Finally, the author writes superbly! [Masterpiece by Que Shi][Already added to my bookshelf][Requesting more updates]
