Review Detail of Calico45 in Refusing the Tyrant's Favor:the Fierce Princess

This is another one of those that developed a good set up and then wrapped it up unsatisfactorily. I enjoyed the characters and watching how the main romance developed, but by the time the Mus were being introduced the plot was being wrapped up too quickly. Why did the Dowager become so angry so fast (after they were on good terms from the original makeup)? What was the fate of the rest of the Zhuo (why did he have to "protect" them in such a way)? What became of the Mus and her apprentices? Why was her junior from another world so inconsequential (this was supposed to be some sort of a big payoff, but it was not...)? It almost felt like the story lost favor and had to wrap up quickly. I appreciate the attempt, but after investing the time, passes, and coins, I wanted more.
