Damn it, I thought it was a serious novel, like "The Case of the Wrongful Convict," but it turned out to be a poetry-fighting and pretentious novel.
[Comment] Your family uses cell phones for telepathic communication, everyone has one!
Mu Tie's novels are all like this. From "The Concubine's Tale" to now, they're all about a balanced diet, with meat and wine, which is perfectly fine. But then suddenly, they throw in a dish of braised pork trotters, making it unbearably cloying. Can't they please stop suddenly throwing in a vulgar scene?!
[Comment] Let's talk about those pointless, rambling remarks after reading the pen.
First, there's the issue of titles. Terms like "little sister" and "little brother" were characteristic of that era. Constantly using "grandpa" was truly annoying. In the strictly patriarchal society of the Tang Dynasty, it seemed inappropriate for non-relatives to casually address each other as "sister" or "younger sister," though insisting on it wasn't necessarily wrong!
[Comment] I glanced at Tang Lin's splashed-ink landscape painting...
After glancing at Tang Lin's splashed-ink landscape, author, there was no such thing as splashed-ink landscape painting in the Tang Dynasty. Freehand brushwork painting only appeared after the late Ming Dynasty, let alone splashed-ink landscape painting.
Where did chapters 19-21 go?
The main character's suit pockets are filled with so many things! Aren't they worried about the good material getting deformed from the pressure? Besides, the protruding items don't look good either.
Has Mu Da started a new book? "The Concubine's Tale" and "The Legal Advisor" seem to be his peak works; it seems none have surpassed those two.
[Comment] Good

[Comment] If you investigate this couple and give them a severe sentence, I will take this down.
If you decide to give this couple a severe sentence, I'll take it down, because I have absolutely no sympathy for people who will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.
[Comment] Mu Yi, I see you've posted another history book on criminal investigation.
Your book is quite a unique genre among historical novels... 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
