Beginning in the Great Zhou Dynasty

Well, rescuing Wei Niang is easy enough; with her family's support, her safety can be guaranteed. But if Wei Niang is rescued, how will Minglan's relationship with her grandmother be handled? After all, the bond between these two is a major highlight of the original work.

After arriving in the capital, I felt completely overwhelmed and had no desire to continue reading. A civil official suddenly being promoted to head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard... I just didn't get the point. Author, take your time writing, see you in the next book!

I started reading this book because I liked "The Story of Minglan," and I never expected it to be so well-written. If I had to nitpick, I could find a few flaws, but I came here to read, not to play a game of spotting faults. If you treat this book as fanfiction, it's a high-quality one. The characters I know are vividly described. I hope the author can give my favorite young master a happy ending. I hope the author will keep updating and write more diligently.

This novel is full of hypocrisy and empty talk. The protagonist is involved in intelligence gathering and military operations without a single suspicion! But when it comes to his own family, he uses feudal ethics to restrain them. His eldest sister is just a concubine, not even considered a person!

Do you know why I only just discovered this book?

Overall, the writing on Zhihu is quite good. In my opinion, the only flaw is that Minglan still married Gu in the end. Who is Gu? Having a child and taking a concubine before marriage is against all propriety! He caused his own father's death, which is unfilial, even if he didn't intentionally cause it, but isn't it entirely his fault? A person like him would be despised by everyone in that era.

Are there really men who watch "The Story of Minglan" willingly? I was forced to, and I forgot about it immediately after watching. It was more tiring than going to class.

It seems like in ten chapters, a little kid, and all he has is a bow, bean sprouts, refined salt, and soap. How can you say that? He doesn't even have a say in his own family. Can he really protect someone? What kind of interests are involved? If you can't protect him, why did you invent the story?

This book is... Indescribable! It feels like it was written by several different people taking turns. The story is initially about a young boy striving for excellence, and it's going well until these ridiculously absurd plot points pop up every now and then, leaving the reader speechless.

I don't know why this book is getting so much hype. The writing is just so-so, all that bean sprouts, salt, soap, and stuff—it's such an old formula, it made me cringe. Honestly, the author should check out Lao Lang's "Picking Up a First Emperor."
