   I'm currently following this series. The author's writing style of forum-style group chats is particularly brilliant; everyone is hilarious and has a sharp tongue [please][please][please]. The character analyses for several characters are quite good, although there are a few out-of-character moments. It's definitely worth reading.

This city, where Cantonese songs filled the air, was once the cinnabar mole and white moonlight in the hearts of countless people. In the 1970s and 1980s, Hong Kong, Japanese, and American entertainment were all at the height of their golden ages. There were beauty pageant fairy tales that made the whole city look up in the sweltering summer heat, and glamorous celebrity gossip about wealthy families vying for power and stars competing to shine. 21.6kFavorites58.3kClicks/ch27.8kGifts

    This story might have a lot of plot holes, such as male impurity, stereotypical portrayals of men and women, or the female lead seducing people. However, I like the female lead's growth, how she gradually breaks free from wishful thinking, dependence, and complacency, and how the ending is unconventional, as she becomes a free and powerful person.

    The highlight is that women in the story naturally become emperors, family leaders, officials, scholars, and generals, just like men, without deliberately emphasizing gender; the plot develops solely based on individual abilities and temperament. Another advantage is the lack of romantic subplots; it's all about career development. I only discovered the romance at the very end. However, I felt the main character's personality development was somewhat limited, focusing more on the image of Dihua as perceived by others. A satisfying read.
