What Do You Think, Sherlock?

The issue with the female lead is quite simple. Historically, we can find that he had one wife, one concubine, and three sons. It's clear that Di Renjie was quite traditional in terms of continuing the family line. The female lead can be any woman he wants, and after she gives birth to another son, that's it. There's no need to write any romantic scenes; just gloss over it. She's just a tool to prove Di Renjie's identity as a historical figure.

I don't think the Queen of England would agree to the assassination of the Tsar. One reason is that they are related; European royal families are one family. More importantly, tacitly approving government assassinations of royalty breaks the unspoken rules and weakens the power of European royalty. If my family assassinates another king today, another family could assassinate me tomorrow.

Whether there's a female lead or not isn't the main point; the main point is that the romance is well-written. Some people try to write it even if they can't, and it just makes people feel disgusted. If the romance is well-written, you can even have a harem.

Everything else was alright, but Di Renjie was a bit out of place. Also, using this name was a bit of a letdown. If it were a typical time-travel crime-solving or scheming story, readers might be forgiving of any flaws. But with Di Renjie, it's like he's someone the readers don't even need to judge. If such a cunning old fox makes any mistakes, readers won't be forgiving.

It's 100% cut off. That's how eunuchs are. They want to cut it off but don't want to do it. They hesitate for a few days until they get a slight erection, then observe the reaction, and finally, with a heavy heart, they chop off the root of their troubles.

It would be better to write it as a modern person transmigrating into the body of Detective Dee, and then transmigrating into the body of Watson after death.

Well, aside from not looking quite like a Tang Dynasty person, everything else is pretty good. Just assume you're a detective from another era with little modern awareness.

In my opinion, the chapters so far haven't been a phenomenal start, but they're definitely a good book with steady progress. It incorporates familiar memes and tells a solid story, demonstrating the author's understanding of that period of history and well-developed characters.

It's so well-written, and you're all arguing about whether or not there should be a female lead?! Although watching Sherlock might have given me a bit of a romantic bias, Sherlock and Holmes are still best friends who are single for life. They might have admirers, but they won't be blinded by love.

How did they manage to raise him to be a eunuch? 😥
