   This novel features Zhuge Liang as the main couple, a strategist's dream girl story, but I really like the female lead! Her charm far surpasses that of the strategist; later on, I was even wondering if she'd end up being the only one smitten [pity].

   It's like a dream. I couldn't bear to watch the part about the reforms in the middle. The male lead is Wang Anshi. It's worth watching!

    It's really good, sob sob, but I just have to say, even with all this, why wasn't it the male lead who ascended the throne? The ending is a bit too idealistic. With the male lead's status and methods, who wouldn't be wary of him sitting in a high position? They portrayed Crown Prince Zhanghuai so well, with a bunch of people in the court reminiscing about him, and the male lead was his posthumous son! He even launched several 'rebellions' later on... Someone with such connections and methods, even if he had the merit of supporting the emperor, would still be extremely wary of him. Sigh, it's a bit frustrating to see him fail.

    The plot is a bit weak; while it's supposed to be about a strategist, it focuses more on the protagonist's sharp tongue. However, it's still quite entertaining for a historical fiction story.
