Lin Ruhai appears at age forty, a seventh-rank salt commissioner, and a third-place scholar in the imperial examinations. Considering the Ming and Qing dynasty's system of training scholars for the imperial examinations, Lin Ruhai would have been a third-place scholar in his thirties. You're saying a man in his thirties in ancient times wouldn't be married? That's ridiculous!
It's a pity he wasn't the eldest son; how will he manage to appease the matriarch later? 🤫
A word to the author: Given the setting of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, is it appropriate for a prince imprisoned to have his child named with characters like Qian, Kun, or Zong—characters with special royal significance? This is practically outrageous!
This is outrageous! Just how much does the author want the protagonist to have a legitimate reason to rebel? They actually arranged a plot-driven death for the emperor, having the empress and the Su family poison him, and were about to put the sixth prince on the throne, thus forcing the protagonist to rebel. When will the protagonist start cultivating immortality?
The free limit is gone again.
The author has incredible connections! They kept the book on the free-to-play list for a few days, essentially enjoying several days of featured placement. Then, just when it was about to be featured again, they removed it and replaced it with another book. Unbelievable!
Was his real life a failure? The very first chapter is filled with boasting about his past life's reality.
I came in based on the description. Seven years old, "Life is only as beautiful as the first meeting," what a terrible first meeting! Now I immediately think back to before I was seven, what a terrible first meeting! The next line, "Why does the autumn wind grieve the painted fan?" Is this something a seven-year-old could say? What was a seven-year-old grieving about?
Literary authors must understand literature.
As things stand, unless the emperor appoints a crown prince and the protagonist ascends the throne directly like Zhu Yunwen, it's essentially a forced suppression of the protagonist. One can imagine that if his father takes the throne, regardless of whether the protagonist is the crown prince, there will inevitably be conflict between them.
