Selling Weapons in a World of Magic

It's all a mess. Anyone can just walk into the imperial city and register their household there—it's too saintly. Also, the princess and the female lead are supposed to be around the same age. They met when they were sixteen, got married about two years later, had their first child three years later, and then their second three years later.

Because I was experiencing a reading slump, I thought I'd found a short, high-quality story, but it turned out to be completely illogical. I dragged it out and was incredibly frustrated. Is the distance between the west and north sides of the city really that far? Isn't the imperial city under the emperor's nose?

Chapter 34: Because of her saintly heart, she let a wolf into the house; her mother died in childbirth. How ironic! So, hesitation will only lead to trouble. Serves her right. Some so-called relatives are nothing but bloodsuckers.

Having read up to chapter 23, I still don't understand why they were allowed to move in. Why were they constantly kissing each other in the beginning? They paid money to buy these people, yet they speak so cautiously—do they have a contract of servitude? It's frustrating to watch, and I feel exhausted.

Ugh, why is it so hard to find a novel you can read from beginning to end?! The beginning was alright, the family members were getting closer, and there was even a scene of fleeing the wilderness where they couldn't even get vegetables and radishes. Then suddenly they arrive at a refugee camp, and all those refugees are feeding them steamed buns and eggs? That's ridiculous!

Doesn't buying someone involve a contract of servitude? What kind of person are you buying? The description is too unrealistic; many details don't match.

It makes absolutely no sense. He's still in a refugee camp, his family isn't even settled, and his business isn't even up and running yet, and he's already spending thirty taels to hire people to deliver goods and arrange hotel accommodations? With that kind of ability, he should be renting a place to settle his family first. He's trying to run before he can even walk. It's truly speechless.

The story of a fox replacing the crown prince and then reclaiming the throne to rule the world can be summed up by the empire's name: Phoenix Empire.
