   I spent over 10,000 yuan, it really makes me angry! It was quite good at first, but it got worse after it entered the capital city because there were too many people and the relationships were too complicated. Also, I felt the characters' motivations weren't fully developed. Many characters who appeared earlier were just rushed through, only to reappear as extras. I thought the second southern storyline was particularly badly designed, incredibly tedious, just trying to create a tragic scene of extinction. But personally, I found it very painful. The female lead's escapes were never complete. Anyway, it was just so frustrating! [Clown] I stayed up for two nights watching it, I'm the clown!

    I found this chapter a bit awkward now. To say the emperor is wrong so openly in public is unbelievable. Are the Imperial Guards just sitting around doing nothing, or are they completely unaware that their opinions might be overheard? What kind of censors are they? Their stance alone would immediately lead to an impeachment. If it were just internal monologue, it would be more believable. Also, Xiao Xu and Grandma, especially Grandma, felt too much like cannon fodder. The angst left me feeling almost unmoved, but given it's an older story, I can understand it somewhat. Perhaps because it's an older story, Yan's plot also felt a bit clichéd. I wonder if the later chapters will clarify Yan's situation; they probably will. Also, as mentioned in previous comments, the female lead's identity was revealed hastily and quickly; it's hard to imagine how she concealed it for twenty years. Another issue pointed out in other comments is the frequent mixing of titles—sometimes using her full name, sometimes her given name, sometimes her given name plus her official title—which definitely increases the reading difficulty. I'll stop here; the political intrigue and the protagonist I've created so far don't quite suit my taste.
