It's very interesting so far, but reminds me a little too much of the manhwa called 'Chang Ge Xing'. A lot of the scenes and motifs are the same or very similar, for example, the mole under the eye, which was a prominent part of the plot of the manhwa. The woman dressing up as a man trope is very common, so I can't call anyone out for that, but there were a few particular scenes that were exactly the same or again, very very similar to the manhwa. The part were Rin handed over the hairpin to the hostess had the same dialogue as the manhwa, and the scene where Rin incapacitated the guards with her hairpin were also very reminiscent of the manhwa. It's good to draw inspiration from other sources, but when the resemblance is too big, it makes me feel like I'm just reading the novel version of the manhwa, and not the author's original writing, which makes me kind of sad as I can tell the author is talented at writing and telling stories. Any way, I can only hope the author deviates from the original story later on.
