The County Madam's Casebook

The beginning was great, but the rebellion at the end became a bit hard to watch. It would have been better if the characters had more happy times together; I really want to see what their children's story is like.

It's a very good book. I'm just too lazy to write reviews, so I usually compile reviews for several books at once. I'll recommend most of the good ones, and for the less good ones, I'll just give them a "just okay" or "not recommended." I've never given a bad review, since I've never actually read a book that's truly indescribable.

I love this type of male lead so much!!!

The female lead is a princess who, in an attempt to escape an arranged marriage, ends up marrying the male lead by mistake, and the two gradually develop feelings for each other. Later, the female lead is mistaken for a wanted criminal (actually, it's a pretext for the emperor to find a princess) and is captured by the male lead's scheme.

It's so well written, I love the characters and the plot!

The storyline is excellent, and the romance between the male and female leads is long, but I didn't get tired of it. On the contrary, I felt it was very reasonable, and it felt like this was how it should have developed. I've been reading books for several years, and I've only read to the end of a handful of them, and this is one of them.

The second half was a bit of a letdown, but the ending was good.

The first 85% of the story was quite good, but it fell apart after the princess returned to the capital.

I really loved the beginning of the story; the writing was fresh and natural, and the characters' names weren't just ordinary "big beauty" or "big pretty," haha. It's a pity that later on, in order to give the male lead a high-class status to be paired with the female lead, they dragged in a dynastic change, which felt rushed.

Overall, it's a good read. The story is quite humorous and includes some crime-solving elements, so it's not a mindless romance novel. The only drawback is that while the male lead is initially upright and honest, later he feels unable to maintain his integrity in the corrupt court and secretly watches a prince rise to power.
