Today I finally re-read the whole book and am finally able to write a comprehensive review. I saved this book in my library a while ago but just recently had the time to pick it back up, and to be honest it didn't disappoint at all (not that it did before). The start was a bit slow but it quickly progresses to my favourite part aka the romance and harem/political intrigue. The plot is sedate yet exciting, even the other POVs give way to a foreshadowing or puzzle pieces without being boring. YZ and LY are the best part of this novel, hands down. Unlike most romance novels of historical genre, the romance is not that slow like watching water drip from a tap or so fast there is no chemistry build-up. The romance is just right and hits the spot, atleast for me. Their background and angst is just the cherry on the top and helps us understand them better. I like all the aspects of this book which is rare for me in this genre (historical) as I get bored with too much one thing (politics/harem intrigue or romance) but you maintain the balance perfectly. Thank you so much for this book. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward for updates. Your work is amazing and I know the research that goes into this so double kudos for that. P.S. Just a favour(not like the one YZ asked LY lol) but the only thing I had a problem with is keeping up with the names, especially, the Scum gongs and the 6 noble families. If you could make a list of them and any vital character that is important in future without giving spoilers, I would be thankful. I want to know who the fifth gong is lol😂

it's almost a pattern at this point. With LQ and his grandma, especially, she has foresight and yet she cares which makes her keep reminding herself that it's impossible they could be hers. it's like she is scared to hope

From the way it looked like, Nan Hua knew that Old Madam Long agreed to drink the medicine because she was the one who prepared it. However, in the original story, the relationship between Old Madam Long and Nan Hua was not this good.

As the mentioned above I also don't think he loved her bf. Rather, I think he broke up because of the deal with his father which not cool either

Yating trembled, his heart bursting with joy. "I don't know, Guiying. But right now…I only want to meet Ai and remove this doubt and misunderstanding from her heart because once it does, there would be nothing in her way to stop her from accepting me."
