Things get serious in this volume! It's definitely a must-read. Unanswered questions, and even questions you didn't know you should've had, are answered in this one.
It's is a satisfying end of what seems to be the first part of Maomao's story. She has grown as a character, though there are some parts I will be most curious to see if they stick. She's a stubborn one like that, but there are so many wonderful moments where I'm just thinking, Oh wow, that's not something Maomao would've said when she first arrived at the rear palace.
Jinshi!! Ahhhhh the cat is out of the bag, and the story must move on! To where? I'll find out soon. He gets some lovely growth as well, and I'm happy the author took the time to write that in.
His relationship with Maomao seems to have not changed, but at the same time, has changed drastically in other ways. If this is to be a romance, it's certainly a slow burn, but I'd have it no other way. I'm not entirely sure if Maomao's onboard with the romance yet haha!
