He's a member of the imperial clan, yet so poor he can barely afford to eat. When he was so hungry he had to dig wild vegetables from beside the wall, he swore that in this life he'd become a high-ranking official, make a fortune, find one person to spend his life with, and have one child.

   This book saved me from a reading slump, and I finished it in a panic right before finals. Its strengths include the author's excellent character development; each character has a strong motivation and their actions are logically consistent. Many things that seemed unclear at first are explained later. The author's portrayal of power is also very insightful; the scenes that impressed me most were the killing of Tiger's sister and the near-throwing of Shan Si off a building. Furthermore, the author's literary skill and knowledge are substantial, and the writing style is flawless. One minor drawback is that the main couple's romance didn't leave a very strong impression on me, especially in the main story. Perhaps it's because they started off like an old married couple, so their relationship didn't develop much further. The beginning and end were essentially the same. It lacked the familial bond and wasn't as interesting as the relationship between Zhiwei and Da Pei. However, the romantic interactions in the side stories were quite enjoyable, whether it was Zhiwei and Xiao Pei, or Da Pei and Zhou Fanglu, or the Li family's incestuous relationship – each had its own unique charm. It seems the lack of romance in the main story stems from their established relationship dynamics, so it's only a minor flaw. (The author didn't elaborate much on the erotic scenes, and I was a little disappointed that Zhiwei and Da Pei didn't have a previous relationship; I really wanted to see more.) If you're interested in reading this, the other reviews have already covered the potential pitfalls, which I think is quite comprehensive. If I were to add anything, Zhiwei was actually quite frustrated throughout the story, with scenes like being kicked out of a banquet and her cramped childhood. Even after she became emperor, I didn't find it particularly satisfying, perhaps because the ending felt a bit rushed. However, Zhiwei is very opinionated and proactive, constantly striving and quite endearing. Overall, it's still a very good story.

    Curator note

    I wasn't originally planning to follow the series, but I heard on Xiaohongshu that if I joined late, I wouldn't be able to read it, so I impulsively jumped in. I remember catching up when Xiaoyun was being introduced to the series by Li Min. Back then, I was completely hooked, eagerly awaiting each new update. I remember one day, the series was stuck on the part where Yun'er and Su Lanzhen's affair was discovered, which made me lose all motivation at work and just want to know what would happen next. It was a truly painful yet addictive experience... Superman's writing skills are truly remarkable; he handles both pure romance and thrilling plots exceptionally well. I still love rewatching Xiaoyun and Changling's confessions of love in their room behind the prince's back, and that snowy night with Su Lanzhen. I definitely still prefer pure romance, even with a touch of NTR... Superman is such a great writer! Moreover, this book offers six different pairings, each with its own unique appeal. I don't usually like older men pairings, and I felt a bit sorry for Xiaoyun when she was with the Emperor, especially since Changling had just died. However, I actually enjoyed the storyline of Xiaoyun and Li Min, an older man and a younger woman. Even with Li Chong, I somehow came to appreciate some of his charms in the end. His "freezing superhuman" persona is terrifyingly powerful. At the same time, Qingyun is probably the most fully developed and most memorable character I've read in all the novels this year. I wasn't initially a big fan of this so-called "vicious" character archetype (of course, Qingyun isn't vicious). In the first few chapters, I didn't understand why he had so much hatred, why he would viciously hurt someone who was good to him. But as the story progressed, I started to like Qingyun more and more. He's a particularly "genuine" person, able to face his desires openly. He wants power, he wants love, he wants everything he wants. Even when facing the emperor, the highest power in the secular sense, he still demands love from him. This inexplicably reminded me of Li Yu. In my literature class, my teacher's evaluation of Li Yu was also "genuine"—he wrote about his longing for his homeland, regardless of the risk of death. Qingyun is the same; he wants everything he wants, no matter what. We can see a very clear growth trajectory in Qingyun, and we can read about his desires and pain, his confusion and contemplation. Whether in the palace or in novels today, he is a very rare character with humanity. Words fail me; I can't even begin to describe how beautiful Diao Dang is. Anyway, everyone, come and see our Diao Dang!
