I love how the story started off with a clear introduction to what kind of role the protagonist has in this world and what responsibilities she has to carry out. I like how the historical background is conveyed through many details such as what they wore and society's views on women. I also really like how the protagonist is strong and smart - she is able to take control of battles and win them. It was really interesting that a fragment of the princess' childhood was shown - this let the reader/s compare her previous naivety to her present personality. It also shows that the princess had been attracted to swords and battle ever since she was young. The characters are portrayed very well - I especially like how the author described the Emperor - although he has a high position and a lot of power, he doesn't think of his daughter as his family. I feel that this part was a bit crowded: "Hua'er, you're crying. Don't cry. Mother said a lady is ugly when she cries. But you're not," Wei Mudan thought carefully, "Mother was wrong." When the author wrote 'But you're not', I felt that it changed too quickly from her mother's opinion to her own. Overall the story flowed really well and was really enjoyable to read. There was only one chapter, but a lot happened and all the events they were all closely connected and written in a way that made the story engaging. Good luck to future updates😊

Thank you! For the bit that was I bit crowded, I was trying to link Mudan's thoughts to what her mother has told her--children are hard to write half the time, but they tend to say their inner thoughts quite quickly.
You’re right. I didn’t think about that.😊
