I love this book, it was so unexpectedly good in many ways. At first I thought it’d be all corny and lovey with no substance then I thought it would be all political and difficult to read to the point it’s boring and tiring but it was none of that. It was a healthy balance of love, adventure, politics. The main characters, side characters, and plot were amazing too. If any review says don’t read it let my review be the one pushing you to read it. You’ll love it!!

One of the better novels I’ve read recently! I really loved every moment of it, the pace was good, the romance, the plot.

I usually read books for the fluff because I often get disappointed by the plot or characters but this one was perfect with an amazing translation to boot! Highly recommended!

Rating: 4.5/5- I really enjoyed this!

The political intrigue was captivating without getting overly complex and boring. I loved the main couple as they were both smart and interesting with very specific goals.

I think overall it was a very pleasant read. I did feel there were some mild plot holes here and there but it isn’t a long read so for the number of chapters I think everything did come round full circle.

Definitely recommended!

I have just started this story and currently up to date with the translation, it has been very engaging so far. Waiting to see how the story will progress especially now that the crown prince has been deposed and Lou Jing returns to being a heir - waiting for their secret affairs and their love story🖤
