Personally saying, for me it is 9/10. The plot was so good as it's my first time reading a novel so i could fairly grasp some words but still it didn't make it any less interesting but more and more exciting for me. I got a lil bit bored sometimes that's why i put 9/10 but furthermore what kept me reading it shen qiao whole thought process, i laughed my ass off whenever shen qiao was caught in something unfamiliar to him and he would get caught between laughing and crying. I read this line so many times i was like this is the only thing this man is consistent with () and yan wushi, what else is there to say about this dude other than that he's a fucking mean guy to the end (though his personality seems to be subsiding due to shen qiao and i can only say you're gonna hate him and but love him at the same time). Overall there isn't much angst in it for me. It's a good read if you have already watched the donghua.
YESS PLEASE. READ MY REPLY ABOVE. IT'S FUCKING GOOD IF YOU DON'T MIND A POLITICS BASED READ WITH ROMANCE BEING THE SUBPLOT. THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS GOING ON BETWEEN BOTH LEADS LIFE THAT ROMANCE DOESN'T GET MENTIONED UNTIL THE LAST BOOK TWO BOOKS. U MIGHT GET BORED BETWEEN BUT STILL WORTH A READ IF U LIKE MEAN EVIL LORD PUSHING MC INTO HELL AND BACK AND MC WHO THINKS THIS GUY IS NOTHING BUT FULL OF HIMSELF AND CAPRICIOUS TO IT'S CORE.

Just read the whole novel of thousand autumns and now going to read Peerless. I wish TA had a manhua. Wanted to see so many of shen qiao blushing and turning hot red like a tomato. Is the angst the same in Peerless as it was in thousand autumns?
