I was VERY hesitant the moment I realized who the love interest was, but I’m glad I decided to stick through because the actual story line is amazing. The historical steampunk setting is seamlessly done and the political intrigue is fascinating without being overwhelming. Additionally, Cheng Geng and Gu Yun are both fantastically written characters and while I’m still hesitant about the love aspect, I do love their relationship as it is written so far and it’s honestly not the worst or most questionable relationship I’ve seen in danmei.
I also really like the side characters, although I wish a few were treated better - Cao Niangzi in particular as I’m not fond of how his crossdressing and feminine interests are treated throughout.
