Stealing the Hairpin

Truly masterful, far exceeding the average level. A rare find, safe to eat.

Both Prince Jin and Prince Yan's succession teams are in place. A complete team needs palace concubines and eunuchs, civil and military officials in the court, private advisors and subordinates, and a hidden team of henchmen. The female protagonist and the main antagonist, Zhang Xucheng, play the same role in their respective teams: working in the shadows as henchmen.

This book is captivating from beginning to end, like a duel between masters where a single mistake could be fatal. Therefore, those involved tread carefully, while the reader holds their breath in suspense.

Every time Zhang the Pervert appears, the author portrays the Jin Prince's faction as utterly pathetic, getting beaten up like turtles. What skills does Zhang the Pervert have besides a bunch of assassins? Author, you've given Zhang the Pervert a whole group of assassins; it really makes him invincible...

I'm going to give you a spoiler: it has a rather uneventful ending. With the King of Jin The writing is good, but it's very angsty; some parts of the angst are illogical. Then I bought the wrong stock; I'm so upset. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have watched it. #I think it's better to clearly define the pairings.

"He plunges headlong into boiling cauldrons and charcoal stoves, treads freely among sword trees and knife mountains," the moon is about to reveal its fangs.

This is truly a great book, with a very cool female protagonist. The writing is excellent; it's a shame the title doesn't do it justice. I read all the reviews before paying to finish it, and it was totally worth it!! Xiang is the same author who amazed me back when I discovered hope Xing; I'll definitely be following her next book!

So, is it true what the master said, that the one who accompanies the moon in the end is Yin Xiao, and the name is a good match, but I bought the wrong stock...? For a moment, I was reminded of the fear of being dominated by Yuan Hong in "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains," the fear that ultimately everyone has to give way to the greater cause... But I must say, the author wrote really well; many foreshadowing elements made everything flow naturally. You are great, but we can't go back.

This is a ruthless imperial family, a chivalrous martial arts world. The author only added two or three grains of sugar, which were only briefly mentioned and then disappeared. The bittersweet plot that I thought would appear after two hundred episodes never materialized. This is a martial arts world disguised as an ancient romance novel... The more captivating the book, the more aggrieved and weary the moon must feel. Perhaps the author can offer the moon some sweetness in return.

Qiaojun has a scar on her face, Huiyue is like a wild grass, Yinxiao has a hidden wound in her heart, and the Prince of Jin is lonely at the top. I like every single character. Even the gloomy, weak, and extremely ruthless Xiao Zhang has his eye on him.
