This is a review of the first chapter. The story falls under gothic romance category rather than cute and fluffy romance category. The talented author is able to cause your heart beat to accelerate with the heroine’s as she is being chased through the woods. You get a real sense of both the setting and the main character. For me, this is a great method for hooking me in. I would recommend this page turner to anyone who likes supernatural romance stories.

However, after that idiotic young master was struck by lightning, he actually managed to recover from his ten years of stupidity! His poems were endless, and every one of them was a masterpiece that was handed down from generation to generation! He single-handedly supported a declining family to prosper and become the richest! Her presence became the first on the leaderboard! Wait a minute! Why didn't the lightning strike his lecherous eyes? Jiu Sheng solemnly made a vow to the Buddha again, begging for another strike.
