   This book is truly a masterpiece. The descriptions of family, friendship, family, country and other emotions are very brilliant. It provides a unique and sophisticated interpretation of complex human nature. The characterization and portrayal are very good. The narrative is also mixed with intrigues, and the links are closely connected. I can't help but admire the author's wisdom. Moreover, the purpose of this article is unique and deeply touching. At first, I was attracted by the setting of the heroine and the second male protagonist + the time travel of the male protagonist. After reading it slowly, I was shocked to realize that every character in the article, even a young eunuch, a maid, and a villain, are not just simple background panels. The author's writing made me feel that they are living characters with flesh and blood, and do not exist to set off the protagonist. What moved me most in the article was that the prince who died young was really a white moonlight existence. His existence warmed many people, even though the ending was not satisfactory. As for the male protagonist, what impressed me the most was not only his behavior as a person, but also the special period he lived in before traveling to ancient times. It was under such a special background that the male protagonist should be cultivated as a good man who serves the country and the people and has the heart to help the world. Although the author has devoted a lot of ink to the plot, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is not secular. They are not just lovers, but in my opinion, they are like-minded travelers. What delights me the most is that the author's writing style is really good, and details such as ancient customs, ways of speaking, etiquette and etiquette did not make me confused. Many of the blessings in the article are novel, unique and highly cultural. I have copied them in my memo and hope to put them to use one day. (It's a pity that my writing skills are not good. I can only describe one ten thousandth of the goodness of this book. If anyone can read this review, I really recommend reading this article. I believe you will gain something after reading it)
