Worthy of Rereading
Books I can read over and over, with writing that stands the test of time.
Ancient Court Politics
Both the male and female leads have viewpoint chapters, with a preference for serious drama. The romance line is relatively limited, ranging from romance to no-couple stories.

Historical Fiction I Enjoy
They're not exactly focused on history; this is purely my personal taste! I like court-politics stories that feel more realistic...
Stories That Can Touch Everyone’s Heart
No restrictions on genre, so it's a real mix. Good stuff, worth rereading.
Stories I Think Are Pretty Good
Books across all kinds of genres that I enjoy. I like sweet and cute stories. Weak tops and unfaithful tops or male leads are dealbreakers. I read more BL than BG.

Imperial Examination Stories
Some pretty good imperial exam stories. Most are romances, but romance is barely a factor. The top three are The Eldest Grandson, The Great Nation's Young Talent, and The Eldest Son of a Convict.

Personal Reading List: Plot Enthusiast
A mix of genres, and I haven't necessarily finished them all. These are to my personal taste. Bonus points for mind-bending plots, great writing, fresh ideas, and satisfying pacing. No helpless, clingy love interests, weak bottom characters, angsty romances, or groveling exes trying to win someone back.

In fact, I would rather see the impact of Dazhuo's policies on future generations, or simply everyone praising him, rather than the gossip about the emperor's family that has worried him all his life... But in any case, although there are many things that make me unhappy in this novel, it is really well written. Thank you so much for creating this novel for me to read!
This is what imperial examination papers should look like, sigh, but there are too few parts about Yun Sangwei and her children. I feel that Sangwei's image is not even as three-dimensional as Yang Lingyi's, and the child only knows a name. In fact, there is so much foreshadowing that Brother Zhuo loves children. I really want to see how he teaches his children and gets along with family members other than his younger brothers and sisters.
The ending is really lacking in meaning, but this is one of the best imperial examination essays I have read so far, but it deviates from the previous theme at the end. The prince and the princess are too abrupt, and many characters disappear after being written. The villain is too superficial, and all the bad things are done by him, but the flaws are not concealed. I really admire the writing style. I would definitely not be able to write it anyway.
Well, actually I don't particularly like this ending. The setting of the Crown Princess is a bit too idealistic. When the orphan girl from Shuozhou comes and the Queen suddenly goes crazy, it is really unpredictable. I feel that the Crown Prince is really pitiful. He finally survived his own father's death but was stabbed blind. There is also King Zhao. Although he should have lost hope of living since the day his mother's concubine rebelled, he still has to bear the infamy of plotting to assassinate the emperor after his death. I think it is a bit of a pity. Maybe this is the cruelty of politics. Every time I read a long article like this, I feel a sense of loss, and this time is no exception. Well, I still wish the author good luck with his solid writing. It's time to say goodbye to Dazhuo's family.
Although I know that the queen is not suitable, and she even wants to depose her early. But I still feel sorry for the emperor. He is alone. He does not have a carefree childhood like King Zhao, nor does he have a harmonious family like Zhuo Siheng. I once thought that the emperor does not like the queen, but his experience will not make him treat the queen like his father, but will bear his responsibilities. The Crown Princess was also expected to be a miserable person when she first left the factory. It would be good for the two of them to depend on each other and support each other, but the plot behind... Well, isn't the Emperor her family, and the princess is not her family? The Queen's questioning in the middle palace made me incredible. Maybe the author has his own reasons, but just like at the beginning, many people were dissatisfied with having to write down their parents, not just the male protagonist. Think about the friends around the hero. Several of his parents, brothers and sisters are still alive, and the family is harmonious. I am just a superficial family reunion party. I have finally become the emperor. Wouldn't it be good for him to have a warm little family that respects each other as guests? Wouldn't it be good for the princess to have maternal love (she has the paternal love that her father does not have but does not give her the maternal love that his father has) You can have the best of both worlds in this world, but it's also good to have a fantasy in a novel
I think the length is still a bit short. A lot of content and characters could be expanded upon. I feel like many characters are not introduced very much and don't have much of a role to play [cheek support], but the writing is really good.
I stopped following the update when it reached about 80%, and when I came back to read it more than a year later, I could actually pick up most of the plot from memory. . . I was very moved after reading it. There are so many things I have to do for my life.
Good guy, when I saw the author Wu Sheao in it, I thought he was not a good person. But after reading the book, I saw the author's name Wu Sheao and thought, good guy, here's this matryoshka doll! ? ?
I have been living in Jinjiang for almost 10 years, and it is rare to see works with such high level of logical thinking and writing style. The author's knowledge reserve is really rich, and the writing is smooth and smooth.
Finish spreading flowers I feel that the story is very realistic, and I felt mixed after reading it, but it is indeed a good book
