This book has a surprisingly strong emotional core, which really showed itself in the second half.
More than a romance, this book told the story of the MC’s healing, and his journey and acceptance towards finding love. MC is a cunning character, extremely intelligent, so and so. He is the protagonist, after all. I don’t think the story is perfect. I have a little bit of a thing with the way the plot resolution happens, but it was definitely a strong read.
The way the relationship develops between the main character is natural- it’s not a sudden “I am in love with you now,” as it comes more of as a gradual change.
I really enjoyed how some of the tropes commonly found in the genre was subverted by the Author, like how they handled the Emperor and all the other side characters. The MC’s past is there, and it haunts him, and there is a quest for revenge- but it is not at all the main attraction of the book, as it would have ordinarily been.
I hold the main couple strongly in my heart. Zhao Yelan and Yan Minting clearly complete each other in the story. They heal and slowly become better people, together, to the point where everyone sees it. Above all I really like Zhao Yelan as our MC. His progression and development through the story is great.

Yan MingTing is one of the best green flag love interests that I've ever seen. So sweet. Highly recommended to read to this if you want some light hearted love story.

I love it ah...
I laughed, I smiled, I cried while reading this.
I stop midway before, due to reading slump. I'm glad that I decided to pick it up again and able to finish this. While it's the type of too op mc and yada yada it's worth reading

If “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion was a novel, this would be it. This is a historical romance novel with the main focus on Zhao Yelan and Yan Mingting’s relationship development. The plot is simple and easy to follow which as a mood reader, was exactly what I wanted. This is a love story and might be one of the most romance heavy danmei I’ve read.
Characters
Zhao Yelan: cold beauty, frail, smart, conniving, angry, cranky, needs to be coaxed, irritable and unlikable initially, troublesome with a temper, eventually turns in to a tease. He is a rose with a lot of thorns
Yan Mingting: easy going general, well liked by everyone, teases ZY to provoke him, protector, SO MUCH patience, pure, loyal, greenest of green flags
🔵 Historical fiction/court intrigue
🔵Arranged marriage
🔵Strong dislike/annoyance to adoringly sweet relationship
🔵 Scholar/Political Official x Military General
🔵 Multiple strong females- and all fujoshi and so supportive of them as a couple. An even a cute lesbian couple🥰. For once the females aren’t written just to cause trouble for the MC/ML, be saved, and/or just be prostitutes or concubines 🙄
🔵There is some 🌶️ but it’s in the background and IMO well done.
Some of the things I loved about this book:
❤️ZY finally finding love, a home, and friends who care about him
❤️The confidence and comfort ZY starts to feel with YM
❤️ The cute banter and bickering between them
❤️ Watching them care more and more about each other through their actions
❤️YM’s absolute obsession with YM
This book might have been a teeny bit longer than it should have been but that didn’t bother me because enjoying every second of their relationship.
