I've actually read it countless times. Ignoring some of the word choices, the plot and writing style are fantastic! It really appeals to my tastes – a perfect blend of aloofness and heartbreak, plus the male lead's slightly sickly nature. I love this character design and the storyline, so five stars!!! I even followed the series a long time ago, and on my second read, I haven't found any major flaws except for the gender-related word choices (although some word choices are indeed jarring and even contradictory, especially in the early episodes). But these minor flaws don't detract from the overall quality; it's still a great read. The male supporting characters are also very well-developed, and the author's writing is getting better and better! [Keep it up!] (I especially love the dual-perspective psychological portrayals, particularly the male lead's early hesitation and unrequited love.)

If I said I wrote a good review for this book a year ago, you would all think I have good taste [doge head with rose in hand]. Reading it a second time, I think it's even more delicious. The male lead is someone who usually hides his true self, but when he meets the female lead, he wants to give her everything. The female lead is also always braver than he imagined. From the beginning, it wasn't just a simple case of lust at first sight, but a firm step-by-step approach to him, accepting everything about him. She wasn't his eyes, but rather she led him to perceive the world little by little.

Curator note

Before my second viewing, I'll write a rating. My vague impression is that the male lead gave up struggling because he realized everyone was being dragged along by fate. The female lead was a transmigrator who thought she couldn't escape the plot but still searched for a way out. After their paths crossed, they supported each other and made it to the end. Only he understood her, and only she could lead him out of this absurd fate. I've finished reading it twice. It has a refreshing feel that's different from other novels. You'll keep smiling because of their heartwarming interactions, but you'll also feel that the underlying tone is sad. It's about one person's courage, two people's mutual support, and a group of people finding themselves from an absurd fate. I declare it six stars! (There's also a touch of sadness because if someone has already foreseen the end and accepted their fate, will they still feel lost or nostalgic when that day actually arrives? Even in such a cruel world, there are always people who hold onto that tiny glimmer of clarity, believing that everything will be alright.)

The author has a very high level of cultural knowledge; you have to read it slowly to understand it. The two characters are very well-developed, especially Lord Zhuang. He's sickly and pretends to be weak to outsmart others; he's clearly a strategist, but he repeatedly breaks his own rules after meeting the female lead. Although our female lead is eloquent, clever, and intelligent, she should be liked, and there are no misunderstandings or entanglements, the two of them remain steadfast from beginning to end.

Moreover, Lord Xie, who devoted himself to serving his country, was also truly wonderful. I give him a thumbs up here; Lord Xie really survived to the very end with a sliver of health.

Although it's a happy ending, the whole story has a subtle sad ending vibe. The two protagonists, both suffering, never complain about their hardships, swallowing their bitterness and showing their best side to their loved ones. But love isn't just about loving your glamorous side; it's about accepting all your flaws. The characters are so well-developed: the female lead is clear-headed and independent yet retains her initial kindness, making her soften towards her lover time and time again; the male lead knows she loves him but is still cautious, afraid to reveal his pain, pushing her away repeatedly while hoping she won't leave him (although this kind of "I can't talk about my problems" character is so relatable, though it probably gives the female lead a lot of headaches, haha). Both hesitate and waver, but fate is a cycle, and after many twists and turns, they finally embrace. So if you still feel regretful even after a long time, why not try to create an opportunity? Wasn't their reunion after four years also something the male protagonist painstakingly sought?
