This is one of the best Chinese novels I've ever read. Right up until the last few chapters. Do yourself a favor and stop before 71-73. Just... make an ending you like.

MASSIVE SPOILERS BEYOND:

My initial though was 'Why would they end it like that?', but it's pretty easy to figure out on second thought. Whether is was on purpose from the beginning or just developed along with the story, here was no happy ending possible for the hero. She/he was too devoted to the family to just leave, her ML was to important a person to just disappear to go find a place where living as before was possible, even if leaving was an option, and the world was to rigid for her to live as she/he had, so blaze of glory was pretty much the sole option. Her being turned into a traditional wife would have been even more tragic.

Me, I would have written things to have more options, but maybe that would have defeated the author's point. Still, regardless of how great the story was up until the end, I'm sorry I read it. Gonna be depressed every time I think about it until basically the end of time, which makes it both an excellent book and a bad one. As a side note, I'm really tired of stories where characters end badly for being too/less feminine or masculine. Can a nonbinary or trans character please catch an effin' break in a drama?

This book must be a hidden gem, I really like this style, ancient romance. And all characters are vivid, the storyline is logical. I highly recommend this book for those who love ancient romantic stories.

I am attracted by the introduction and the setting of this book. The FL is a girl and has to disguise as boy. I doubt whether Wu Zhong is the MC, but I think they are a perfect match. FL owns high force value. Wu Zhong has high IQ. Looking forward to update.
