I hate this man. I hate him so much. Does his obsessive greed never end?!
Li Chen is a naïve, entitled, fool & I do not like him.
That's fabricated, he would never. I hope Mingze investigates this and Jiu gets thrown in the deepest, darkest, recesses of the prison system.
The line of dialogue should read, "Are you all ready for the reading of the will?"
I really hope Mingze gets to the bottom of this because these two do not deserve to get away with what they've done.
Words cannot even begin to describe the fire with which I despise this man.
... I am unclear who the speaker of this line is.
All of them, everything. She contains multitudes. Much like any human being.
Characters are woefully one dimensional. Interesting concept, poor execution. Has this author heard of the concept of levity? Genuinely wondering if author is aware "dark" does not mean characters should experience every possible traumatic occurrence known to man. While I am concerned to some degree about some of the characters' well-being I am not moved to continue any further than I have read (for reference that is 10% of the way through chapter 21) I do hope the author develops their style over time and improves upon it if this is a career they wish to pursue, this work in it's current state however is lacking, tragic (not in the way the author intended mind you) and atrocious. If one has to wait for chapter 100+ to experience a brief period in which traumatic events aren't the focal point of the novel then it is simply not worth the time and energy.
Carelessness? Your staff is confining her to her courtyard like a prisoner and refusing to let her see her own child.
Oh, because you r*ping her instead and entrapping her in the guilded cage of a political marriage was so much better right? 🤨
There is literally more than one "Miss Li," you imbecile.
Pity? Pity is all you can manage?! After what you did to her?! How dare you!
Xi Ying is a lying liar who lies and he vexes me.
You better not be thinking about doing what I think you're thinking about doing! 🤨
I don't think I have ever heard the term, "eyes like black grapes," before but something about it makes me feel warm inside. I think I like it.
I think Howbeit should be Albeit.
I'm optimistic, I think I'm going to like this.
You & me both. I still can't make sense of what it should say and I am usually good at reading through type errors.
Names of places and even background objects are misrepresented or shoddily fabricated. Character speech and description is choppy and it takes you out of the story. Translation work is poorly done. A few more editing passes would have made this readable but as is, it is a headache waiting to happen.
