original The Celestial Phoenix's Ascent
"Queens and concubines are merely pawns in a game of Court," the Crown Prince stared me down, chin high. I returned him a smile, though my cheeks were stiff and reluctant to accommodate my lips. "Then why would a mere woman like me be your only tool to turn the tide?" - As the daughter of General Yan of the great country of Yin Shang, Yan Qing's duty lies with the royal Pan clan, whose sole orders hold her and her family's lives. When Yan Qing turned 19, the Crown Prince of Yin Shang decreed for her to enter the Palace. There, she received her mission: Go undercover as a Palace servant in their nemesis' territory, Jin Tang. Alone and afraid, she must brave through a precarious task. Only by succeeding in seducing the future King of Jin Tang of the royal Li clan would she survive her predicament. But things get messy in a hurry when she enters Shen Li Gong, Palace of the 18th Prince of Jin Tang. He was the downtrodden Prince, target of everyone's ridicule. But Yan Qing recognised the power that exuded from him. Would she be able to weave her way past the Prince's eagle eyes? The fate of her country, and more importantly, her family, lies in her hands. **Warning: Quite the slow burn** Book cover credits (background image): Jingyi Lyu https://unsplash.com/photos/lgCjARMlnjg138 Chs 74 Colecciones
I spent a bunch of coins on this book because it hooked me in at the start. But like many of the other reviews I saw, the tropes and story arcs get super repetitive past chapter 200. Shi Jin encounters a bad situation, remembers something from her past life, uses her golden finger, gets over the situation. Whether it's song-writing, singing, beauty of appearance, studies, TCM... It's a bit too much. Rebirth doesn't mean you get endowed all these special skills - especially when Shi Jin was a supposed idiot who cared mainly about her crush on Chu Ling. Beyond the golden finger trope, her relationship with Fu Xiuyuan borders on toxic and stockholm syndrome. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but the fact that the writer states he has bipolar disorder at the start rubs me the wrong way. Sure, it makes for some cute moments, but jealousy that leads to breaking things or starving oneself ain't cute. It's weird that Shi Jin is a placeholder for Fu Xiuyuan to "recover" from his supposed psychotic breakdowns. I get that love and support can help, but the way this story develops the relationship leaves a lot to be desired. I shall be dropping this novel after this review.
