   It's not bad, but I almost gave up on it the first time I read it. I had to start over from the beginning to finish it. It's a pretty good historical romance novel with a male protagonist.

   Honestly, the male lead's name is a bit of a letdown, but if you persevere, it's still a pretty good historical romance novel with a male lead.

   I thoroughly enjoyed following the serialization. Xiao Guan is excellent; the novel depicts a vibrant and energetic era, and the lively life in the compound. It's definitely worth reading. The writing is superb, creating many well-developed characters, especially the female characters who all have their own growth and development. I feel this novel would be perfect for a TV series adaptation. However, I just realized I'm still a few chapters short! I just finished reading it. [Shy]
