Your Majesty, please reconsider. Prince Duan is frivolous and unfit to rule the world.
Prince Duan is frivolous and does not resemble a ruler.
Judging from their attitude towards Yuan Chun, they wouldn't be fawning over the Jia family, would they? I've seen too many examples of such sycophancy; I really hope a prince doesn't go and fawn over them.
The protagonist's personality is simply too unlikable, far too awful. Even if you're not a saint, you're still a time traveler, yet you act like an ancient thug.
This is a poorly written version of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, completely missing the essence of the novel. The protagonist just feels like a petty, smug loser.
I couldn't stand the part where they were cursing Xia Jingui. It was so inexplicable. She was practically begging for it, and if she didn't accept it, she shouldn't have. Instead, she cursed her and then turned around and fawned over the Jia family girl. It's disgusting, just like Tang San.
Does the author really understand ancient times?
How did the protagonist get his reputation for being a lecher? In ancient times, even a wealthy family would have more wives and concubines than him, let alone a prince. The protagonist only has a few women, and they're all without any official status. Is a prince keeping mistresses like a modern person? Would it kill him to give them official titles?
The second chapter already starts spreading poison. And they still keep the capital in Chang'an? Are they going to let people eat sand? How are they going to support so many people in the capital?
He forcibly took Qin Keqing, despised Jia Zhen, and his actions far surpassed those of Tong Qiuhe. The emperor's wife treated him like a son, yet he had such a despicable mind and no moral compass. Moreover, he was a modern time traveler, not a native. His values followed his appearance. To put it nicely, it's a harem novel; to put it bluntly, it's worse than a Teddy Bear novel because Teddy Bears aren't human.
Toxic spots
Other people writing fanfiction about *Dream of the Red Chamber* always set the capital in Beijing, but he insists on being different and setting it in Chang'an. Anyone with a brain should think about what Chang'an was like during the Ming Dynasty. It couldn't possibly support half the population of a capital city. Where would they transport grain? Beijing at least had the Grand Canal, which was already dug but never used. Setting the capital in Chang'an? I'm dying of laughter.
