   Actually, the main problem is that the middle part is a bit melodramatic and silly. If you want a serious drama, this kind of love triangle is a bit cloying and you can only read it in one go.

   Geng Xiang's writing is average. While the action sequences are good, the character development is rather ordinary, making the beginning impressive but increasingly tiring to read. The female lead's debate points are stunning, but later on, it becomes predictable that she will misinterpret any ambiguous relationships, and the male lead is also someone who doesn't speak up. If you can't finish it in one go, it will feel very tiring.

    The character designs and the setting are quite good, but the setting is basically just an introduction and not used much. The later developments are rather formulaic and bland, typical of ancient Chinese romance novels.

    The plot is formulaic and melodramatic; I can't understand how such a universally acknowledged beauty could live like this. I hope the female lead has more personal charm.

    The writing is decent, but it's an old-fashioned romance novel with a somewhat formulaic plot. The male and female leads' relationship is formulaic and lacks tension, so I couldn't finish reading it.

    The story is hollow and formulaic. The female protagonist is portrayed as contradictory—both clear-headed and impulsive—lacking any distinctive features, and the reasons for their mutual affection are incomprehensible. It feels more like the author projecting their own fantasies about love between those in positions of power into this book.
