Write a reviewHonestly, I'm surprised that there hasn't been like a 300 chapter story that tells the exact same thing. Warning: My rating may be slightly inflated since I am a fan of more historical-based stories that actually emphasize the history part. This isn't a review swap but genuinely some things I wanted to express after reading. Writing Quality: There are issues with grammar at some points, but I read that the author isn't a native English speaker, so I would say the actual quality is amazing. There was one chapter where a sentence wasn't capitalized and another where it said "she was panicked" I think, but honestly, none of it stood out too much to the point that I wanted to comment on it. As for the actual writing style itself, the author has a way of writing that is reminscent of actual historical texts with the sparsity but still powerful ways of conveying emotion. It reminds me of the way Chinese poems are: few words but manages to pack a super long story or message. Stability of Updates: Uhhh way better than me LOL so I very much so aspire to become as such Story Development: A bit jumpy at some points, but I think it actually reads better for this period considering the way history was recorded at intervals of years. That being said, their romance was cute but didn't resonate tooooo much with me (I actually read this for the history sorry kekekekek) Character Design: I actually really like the portrayal of the Yue girl and the contrast it holds with the court. World Background: Think I've been alluding to this enough already ^-^
Great quality content. It's amazing how the author could connect both historical context and fiction, creating a unique story in this genre. I wouldn't be surprised if this novel will get adopted to a tv show drama one day. ๐
This historical-based story is truly a work of literature. The story is captivating and incites curiosity with its mysterious plot which will make readers turning pages until the very end.
This book is a truly art, I hope the writer updates more and specially I want to see more fight and blood inside this book. More bloooodd ๐๐
a sophisticated prince and a barbarian girl. sounds romantic. I wonder if the real history is also like this. but since this is a fiction.....
Wonderful book. Your style to romanticize the historical events is really wonderful. I loved the way you are writing this story. You have very well described the environment settings and the characters. Even the reactions and their conversation is really worth appreciating. Keep up the good work dear author.. Totally recommended....:) :) :) :) :)
The plot is amazing as well as the history in it. Personally, I have read a lot of historic novels in wn and so I can honestly say that anyone who loves historical genre would love this book. And, I salute the authors who write historical books because it requires lot of knowledge and effort. The writing quality is superb, it draws me in making me able to visualise the scene extremelywell.
The content, story, and historical accuracy of this novel is superb ๐ Would highly recommend for everyone who love history based fantasy/fiction and romance.
The writing quality is unique and impressive. From the first chapter, it was able to grab my attention. I cannot judge the grammar of the book since I am not good as well when it comes to grammar. As for the story development, I can't say if it has a fast or slow pace since there are only three chapters so far. Keep up the good work!
I am glad to see another historical story. This is what I like. The story itself is very fascinating, easy to read. The characters are interesting, multifaceted. The psychological aspect, the experiences of the character are shown very realistically! I have included this book in my library. I will read it slowly! 1 power stone to advance! Many thanks to the author for the opportunity to read such an interesting story! It's great!
I like Yue Maiden and Lord Ejun romance. Too bad I can't see detail romance about them. But I still give a good rating to this novel since the idea of the story comes from a famous poem.
Dear Author, Wow!!! What I should say? To be honest, I don't like history books, I don't like history at all (the only thing I really enjoyed learning history was antiquity ;)) but I have to admit I read your story with pleasure. I love the author's notes that give some idea about the background. Well done! Stunning work!
Strong female leads with gorgeous male scholars. Interesting story plot. The pace is not too slow but not too fast. my cup of tea ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I read this novel because of the interesting titles. Never have thought that the second book has a more interesting title. I just googled Goujian. Just know that he is famous! I think I will learn a lot from this novel :)
I feel like reading a short documentary script. Nice plot but the pace is a bit too fast for my liking.I hope that the author could elaborate more on the romance between Lord Ejun and Yue Maiden.
A nice story with the historical background of the ancient civilization. I just think the pace is too fast although the story itself is pretty engrossing.
I am familiar with this story of Lord Ejun and the Yue boatman. Curious to see how the author is going to translate the poem and develop the romance between them
Writing quality: easy to comprehend. Stability of Updates: once, twice a week. Not bad! Story development: The first book is a bit too jumpy. The second one is pretty good. Not draggy, but not jumpy. The authors emphasize more on the history part instead of the romance part. Character design: Yue Maiden's character is a bit too flat and not too many descriptions about her. Ying's part is well written. The author implies her characters not through a description; but through her childhood story. She had a tough problematic life with her mother that shaped her characters. World Background: the author has her own way in describing the background. Yue Maiden who lived in a stilt house, the slavery that was common in that era; girls who were sold to brothels or as slaves; etc. Not too descriptive, but informative enough.
In the first few chapters there were some grammatical or typo errors. Also the pace was a bit too fast for a historical romance. In the second book the writing quality improves a lot. The story pace is much better. not too fast not too slow. Characters development is pretty much described in detail. I think this novel is pretty entertaining and educating for someone like me who only likes the wuxia elements but has no idea about history. The historical setting is interesting. I have to say the wuxia element is not much compared to the historical part. Can not complain since this novel is classified as historical fiction rather than wuxia.

So far so good. I feel like with this, the 'history' lesson can be read in a fun way hence I am not getting sleepy. I am intrigued and the story getting very interesting. Look forward to see more updates soon. Hope there will be some wuxia actions later on beside the romance story hahaha.
