5.0

If you told past me that I would read a 4000 pages book in a month I would not believe you but here I am?? The fact that this novel could keep me entertained during it's entirety shows you just how good it is. I actually don't know what I am going to do now.…

The plot was so insane sometimes it had me gasping out loud like PDL you’re a genius. The political intrigue? I wasn’t bored for a single page, reason why I finished this so fast, and I usually get bored really quickly.
I get tears in my eyes just thinking of Qijing… they are slow burn excellence. I couldn’t stop thinking about them while reading and I won’t stop thinking about them for a while. I have no words to express how much I love them.

So many good things to say about this novel, the plot the political drama, the schemes the world building etc.
All the characters are each really memorable so I never got confused with names or anything. I loved Gongyang Huai and Nangong Shunu especially.

I’m going to start PDL’s other novel FGEP soon so I’m excited for that! Oh and I can’t wait for the Donghua and the English books!

Spoilers: I actually thought the author lied to us about the happy ending towards the end but thank god it was one because I could not handle a sad one after all we’ve went through. It ended kind of abruptly and I don’t see why the extras are called that because that’s just the continuation of the story like you can’t not read them in my opinion. I still loved the ending as long as they’re happy that’s all that mattered to me seriously…
