This novel is really good. I read it twice, unfortunately the description of this novel is very bad, like any other by this author. MC is a sick person who spends most of his life in search of in kind of rare medicinal herb that is the only thing that can cure the poison in his body, ML takes advantage of this by deceiving MC with the sole intention of getting his help in finding the stolen relic. It's interesting how ML regrets this attitude after he and MC fall... more>> in love and become a very cute couple. Many thing happen, the story changes a lot, the romance here is secondary, but it becomes more and more interesting. The ending is a little sad, the extras are very good. Anyway I love this romance! <<less

I found this story by accident while receiving a comic email blast, I always believed that a novel that was made into a comic would have a unique value so I tried to read the novel first, and I wasn't disappointed.

The author goes straight into the story without rambling.

This is a story about detective and comedy, I am very curious feels like reading detective conan,
the comedy makes me laugh, it's so funny.

This is a new story concept for me, the writer is good at bringing the atmosphere, makes me curious.. guessing and confused,
there are lots of tactics and plot twists, all well structured.

Scene shifts are also neat, there are cases to solve in each chapter, all mysteries flow to one end, puzzle pieces that we must collect where the last piece turns out to be at the beginning of the story without us realized it

CHAPTER

I 1-25 Missing Relic
II 26-51 Xu Family 18 Villa
III 52-77 Secret Map of Zichuan
VI 78-105 Desert Witch
V 106-135 Wind and Cloud in Jiang Hu
VI 136-159 Southwest Ghost Shadow

NOTE : I personally like the second chapter, I am very addicted to it and finished it in one day, honestly chapter two can be used as a whole new novel concept

CHARACTER

in this story the main character doesn't fall in love right away, they grow slowly because they are dependent on each other at first

a love that grows without you realizing it, when you realize everything is already hard to separate

Yun Yifeng never felt love, always struggled alone and finally he felt cared by Ji Yanran, felt what family was and he was willing to give anything for this love

Ji Yanran from childhood forced to be independent and persistent because of the state of the kingdom, always thinking about the interests of the country... and finally love grows slowly
because the sense of responsibility and guilt to Yun Yifeng develops into deep love

SUPORTING CHARACTER

I like the character Li jun who at first I thought the villain turned out to be a funny character and developed into a responsible character

Jiang Ling Fei, Very cute and interesting characters, but who know there's a lot of mystery behind him

Mu Cheng Xue, cool and very professional vegetarian killer with his favorite fat mink

Lao Thai Fei, Ji Yanran mother, very open minded women in her era, full of love and so brave. She can accapted Yun Yifeng with Ji Yanran relationship and give Jiang Ling Fei love that he never know

Li Jing a good and responsible emperor, unselfish and always thinking of solutions, without worrying about his own ego

EXTRA

there are 3 extras, in the second extra provides a little answer to the sadness at the end of the story,
even though everything is not clear but at least it makes you feel calm

I really love this novel! The story is very good. MC and ML are so adorable together. I hope that someday I will have the complete translation, because this is one of the best novels by this author.

The first time I read this novel, I thought the story would be like in Missing Relic and 18 Villa, but it was a disappointment because the story will really change a lot. First of all, the romance is very slow and basically there is no romance at all. In the Secret Map of Zichuan is where to start the story of General Lu and from then on the story will change completely, with long and boring chapters, MC and ML basically disappear, you wait will for an interaction between... more>> the two. And when the author remembers that MC is dying, solves everything in two chapters, very emotionless. The ending is disappointing, I was very sad how the author is unfair to Jiang Lingfei's character. In the end, I expected more from this novel. <<less

5 might be too much, but it has an overall lower rating than I think it deserves and voting without decimals is already limiting the accuracy.

Anyway I can guess why most people are not madly rating it, ecc... after all it's not a masterpiece nor a total flop, the characters seem to be between OP and ordinary people, their described as the top of the crop but you can't really feel all the supposed majesty, which isn't too bad to be sincere; I'm tired of the people being so OP... more>> that the villains have a comedic undertone, or being so cool/beautiful that common sense and world view get twisted. I can feel it, I wasn't so involved emotionally but neither was I bored. It is a mild story that starts off with such an episode that makes you wonder if you got the genre wrong, or cl**ked on some other thing. The story flows quite cleanly and while there are ripples I can't say they affected the reader (of course I can't really speak for everyone else) or even the characters as they did with the plot. The main and side characters while being somewhat forced to fit the roles are not too bad (it can be much worse), the people that appear for less time seem more realistic haha. It is quite funny, gore and mysterious at times, though it doesn't really breach in any of the fields. The background of the plot is basic, same for the characters but still likeable.

I know it basically seems I'm only calling it mediocre but I just mean to say it keeps me going even though it's not that striking, so it manages to make you interested enough to read (which doesn't happen often to me, I usually drop it when there's no feeling). Also I don't get how it is rated so low, I started stories that had a much higher ranking but with such stereotyped characters that I couldn't go on and finish. This compared is actually much better, so I actually invite you to read it if you don't want to feel too invested in something but also not like to totally waste your time. <<less
