A political intrigue story combined with a male-oriented drama like "Nirvana in Fire," are you making fun of yourself? 😅😅
This novel is too formulaic. Every time a key character is given a backstory, it's the same old pretentious slapstick routine. This aspect needs improvement if the novel wants to be better. This kind of formulaic, pretentious, and slapstick novel is only suitable for beginners; veteran readers will find it tedious and disgusting. The author needs to learn new writing styles.
Author, could you please turn off the anti-theft feature? 🙂
Old Deng, in your book, will the protagonist be unable to lose his virginity until the very end when he becomes emperor? If the female lead has to wait until he becomes emperor to have sex with him, is that really a good thing?
Top-notch writing style, the best of the best among elementary school students, even a writer would feel stifled.
Married but is a 5-year-old woman
This Crown Princess is ridiculous! She married the Crown Prince, but he never laid a finger on her. And she's from Chu! 😰😰 It's really outrageous. Even if she were his fiancée...

I've been following the updates closely, and it's finally reached 10,000 subscribers! Congratulations!
It was enjoyable at first, but after about two hundred chapters, it became tedious. It was all the same old formula: the protagonist goes undercover – gets a mission – carries it out – someone sabotages him – his identity is revealed – he wins over the enemy – mission completes. There are occasional romantic subplots with female characters. The plot is just too repetitive.
It started off well, but problems arose later. The protagonist was given too much of a power-up, making the plot difficult to follow. Starting as a prince with nothing, rising from the bottom was manageable, but then he directly sided with the new dynasty's prince, using him to protect many old dynasty figures and assassinate several key figures who had helped establish the new dynasty.
A true review from a bookworm of over 10 years: I actually read the author's previous book, but I gave up because the combat power and battles were disappointing. This book, however, has learned from the shortcomings of the previous one, and the overall pacing and plot are much better than before. So, in my opinion, it's definitely a T1 level book.
