If I were to categorize this novel, I would say it falls under the 'single-sided wife-chasing' type of romance novel with a hint of politics. The majority of this novel is the romance of the main leads. While this doesn't fall under the 'sweet' or 'sugar' category, I think it's the type of romance that grows on you. The 'love after marriage' type.

Another reviewer disliked the grandfather because he favored his concubine and her family more than his legal wife, saying that FL's halo caused the legitimate side of the... more>> family to be cannon fodder, which I somewhat agree with. There was quite a hefty bit of justification for questionable decisions or moments. If the author hadn't been so overt with the bias, it could have potentially gone under the radar. But if I had to put in my two cents, it was probably to make the set-up more palatable for readers.

No doubt, these types of situations (favoring the concubine, finding one's love late and being unable to divorce, arranged marriages, etc) were common in history and more often than not resulted in unhappiness and tragedy. The author is trying to use certain historical facts to create the set-up for the plot and drama, but because it's half-baked, it looks more like a halo effect.

Example:

Spoiler

ML is a merchant who became an official who is also the commander of armed forces. Typically unheard of because of conflicting interests but also because merchants were culturally looked down upon. FL is the shu-daughter of a shu-son of an official who was originally a commoner that tested his way in. In this set up, FL's family should have never been prominent because of lack of background and connections. FL also couldn't have married up because she was a shu-daughter.

[collapse]

There were other moments at the beginning of their marriage that made me somewhat uncomfortable, but I give props to the author for going through with it because it gave the story more credibility. Arranged marriages are not the contract marriages that we think of today and they are more often permanent than not due to marriage laws and cultural tradition. What made me rate the novel higher was the transition of the relationship from strangers to love (which wasn't too concretely defined). Because the novel focused so much (almost to the point of tunnel vision) on the leads' relationship, we see quite a natural progression of how they come to love each other and the trials they go through. Disclaimer though, this 'love' is more of the traditional, 'stand with you' type of love though they do the deed many times and enjoy it. At the end, their relationship is challenged:

Spoiler

ML is essentially forced to answer the question of 'Do you love me?' and 'Prove it.' His answer is not to promise everlasting love. In my opinion, he doesn't even say that he loves her. It's more like he promised that he would be loyal to FL alone, which is considered 'love' in the old days.

[collapse]

Do I think they were the best couple? No. Do I think I would reread it? No. Do I think it's an okay read that you could probably breeze through? Yes. If you don't look at it too deeply, this is a good novel. <<less

My personal opinion only, but I hate the grandfather. MC's grandma is a cocubine. The so call grandfather is suppose to be upright and equal, it looks like there are some bias because MC cocubine grandma is more beautiful that she became his true love. And he felt he wronged her by making her his cocubine. I felt no petty for the cocubine grandma. She had a choice, she choose to be with him and lower herself to be a cocubine. She even bribe the wife with money just not... more>> to bother her. And because MC looks like grandma, she gets to contradict the old, strict and frugal bastard of grandfather and get away with it.

It is because MC having the heroine halo, made everyone belonging to the wife side canon fodder. Average looking not beautiful and just greedy like how the wife choose money over her husband. And her daughter-in-law and granddaughter poor and greedy.

I feel for Empress Shen and her brother. Their father took a concubine before they were born, their mother was of low birth and not beautiful enough, so they lost their love, and they lost their mother at a young age. Their father did not pay much attention to this pair of siblings since they were young, otherwise why would he let his legitimate son marry the daughter of a poor family without even knowing them, and then the concubine cried and made a fuss, while the illegitimate sons born out of wedlock all married people from famous families. Their father has a reputation for fairness since he was a child. If it were really fair, how could it be possible that the eldest son's wife was of such a low birth that she was completely crushed by her younger siblings who were also born out of wedlock? It was only Empress Shen's brother who was honest, otherwise someone else would have made a fuss long ago. Empress Shen herself entered the palace without the love of her husband, the comfort of her mother, and her father was never a backer. As a result, even the best eldest son died.

You can say the grandfather and Emperor favored their cocubine and killed the wife. <<less
