It's not for nothing. It's for a HISTORY LESSON. This is all a part of the authors intent to indoctrinate us into Chinese culture. Is your hair getting darker? Are your eyes turning coal black? Developing epicanthic folds?
Yeah,this is a good novel,its just a shame for author to keep giving a info dump about history we dont care and dont really need. Please dont give too much filler1
