This book is truly awful. The antagonists all seem incredibly stupid, and the fact that they use a princess's innocence to frame the protagonist in the palace is baffling. Do they even know the princess's status? Is this some kind of karaoke bar? Later, they try to save the protagonist by smearing the emperor. I just don't understand. Even if the emperor is weak, the palace is still his home.
In feudal society, the emperor was the supreme ruler, and the crown prince had to learn the ways of the monarch from a very young age. Moreover, the pig prince was a rare intelligent person, and it was really unbearable for the author to portray him as a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). That's incredibly toxic!
This is a great book; at the current level of Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), it's already a top-tier read!
I clicked in thinking there was only one female lead. I like to watch stories with a female lead, without any ambiguous relationships, or without a female lead at all.
And then there's Zhu Di, who was still called Taizong during the Hongzhi reign, only being posthumously honored as Chengzu during the Jiajing reign. Furthermore, eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were called slaves. What a good husband in the Ming Dynasty! Couldn't he have one wife? Why did he insist on having three or four concubines? Sigh, now I feel it's a pity to discard them.
I think someone who's a womanizer and a stud doesn't deserve to be a good husband. This book is seriously off-topic.
I only started reading this book today. The first few chapters were alright, but the later ones were just wishful thinking. The idea that a newspaper in the capital would sell hundreds of thousands of copies is practically impossible. With constant rebellions, it would quickly infiltrate the palace, and officials would be expected to help rebels – that's also unrealistic.
A son-in-law who marries into a family can become an official and have a harem? That's wishful thinking.

The title and content are completely different! It's like a lucky dog ending up with a rich, beautiful woman, only to be followed by thugs who engage in shady dealings and backstabbing. What does that have to do with being a good husband??
