The premise of this book is problematic. The protagonist, an illegitimate child of unknown identity, has no choice but to rebel if he wants to become emperor. Not to mention that Emperor Renzong has been dead for so long, Emperor Yingzong was the legitimate heir designated by the imperial genealogy, and Emperor Shenzong, who recently ascended the throne, has already ruled for two generations.
Even on the verge of death, he's still spouting nonsense. This is toxic. I'm quitting.
As a transmigrator protagonist, he seems a bit unambitious. Even if you can't unify the world, you should at least expand your territory. You can't just not even plan to reclaim the land you already have, can you?
What other way is there for a servant to rise to the throne besides rebellion? The Meng family's refusal to release slaves is only possible thanks to the protagonist's plot armor. Don't just read books on websites without thinking.
This book is unreadable, absolutely unreadable, garbage, and its flaws are evident from the very beginning.
I read about ten chapters, but it felt like fifty. The pacing was too fast. A servant I knew inside and out suddenly undergoes a 180-degree transformation—that's illogical. To see him as a son-in-law after only a dozen chapters is too presumptuous. The writing style is also rather simplistic, lacking depth. Therefore, I'm abandoning the book.
First, it's missing a chapter. Second, the plot design is illogical. Third, this is a story that deliberately digs holes for itself.
The protagonist of this book is completely unrelatable.
Emperor of Song. The Jin dynasty bestowed upon Zhao Gou the title of Emperor of Song, not Emperor of Song, thus placing "Emperor" below "Emperor"!
Even a lowly servant in such a large mansion could find one or two wine jars. Which official in ancient times didn't have a wine cellar? Otherwise, they wouldn't have to go out to buy wine to entertain guests.
