First few chapters hooked me easily but then it just went psshhhhhh. I know there's only room for expectations with fictional stories but I would've appreciated it if characters stick true to their experiences. Does it make sense for the fl to suddenly be so knowledgeable about everything just because she read tons of old outdated books? I know she was taught by her mom too but she did also lived majority of her life in the monastery and only came down a bunch of times. I would've excused her being really in the know about the basics of trade markets, pricing, etc. but she literally didn't even know a thing or two about ml's hometown but then all of a sudden she knows all the right and wrongs when given a bunch of receipts. Lololol im complaining too much for someone who just reads but that's essentially why i dropped it a bit early.
I honestly think there aren't any side couples here to begin with. Maybe it's because i started reading it a little late with 200+ chapters in but the cover's always been the four of them (pls do correct me if otherwise tho! I'd love to see different covers too!).
I mean i get what some are saying about wanting jian xi to have the same development as tianshan but maybe it's also because jian xi had 200+ chapters in the starting run with just them two that tianshan is getting a little more development rn(??) Anyways i do think the author/artist tries their best to always include the four of them in every chapter!! I get that some of you started the manhua because of jian xi but let's still be appreciative of what every chapter brings! <33
Im confused with fl's personality she goes from delicate to reserved to bashful innocent like lady to a badass swordsmaster all of a sudden? Maybe it's just the translations but the plot is all over and i don't really get what's up besides her husband being scum, the emperor hates archduke, the archduke is just playin around (for now) and interested with fl and maxion is the definition of cute
I don't get what the other comments are saying. Maybe it's because I started reading this a little late when it had about 300 chapters in already but aren't the four of them the MAIN characters?? I get that it started out as just jian yi and zheng xi but the four of them are literally in the cover, no? Had it only been them two, I'd kinda get it and I'd assume He tian and Mo are side couples just like any regular manhuas. But I like to see this as something more of a romantic manhua, it's about their friendship all together. Thus, them making a band and everything, making a promise to be together, etc. Also, the author gets to decide what they want to draw I love both couples so I'm just honestly grateful for every chapter.
The story is good but it bothers me how fast everyone seemed to adapt to her entirely new personality. Also the fact that she favored liliana before even apologizing to Elliot makes me just a bit sad. I know actions really speak more than words and it's great that she does so much for both kids but it's also important to apologize to your son who you've been cold to for literally 7 years. Like how Elliot has to hide his talent in drawing, I have an inkling it's the og mother's fault for always belittling such talent but idk, well she encouraged him atleast so ig that's good. Maybe im just too sensitive also when are the parents gonna kiss they're so hot together










I'm surprised a lot of people find the slow burn bad or being dragged out. I personally never thought of it as being dragged out. Their story is still pretty much engaging and I'm still curious of both characters' stories (yes, no matter how annoying it can be for them to always misunderstand each other), but I get it. I think it resembles real life, misunderstandings don't generally get to be cleared out as fast as people would want it to, especially when two people are so emotionally wrecked and are going through something.
I'm actually enjoying the story. Of course, I am excited for them to be okay again and have cute little stories of their domestic life soon but I also will enjoy the story that will get them to the phase. I hope people will be more patient too
seriously people are insufferable. i think tiktok has friend everyones attention span
Ikr. You’re welcome to move on to other fast paced// lovey dovey// sex in every chapters// vanilla or freaky type of manhwas. They just come here to complain instead of talking about the chapters
exactly. theyre also acting like we didnt get 2 whole seasons of that? i honestly appreciate the angst. dont get me wrong, i love a fluffy healthy relationship but the tone shift is not an unwelcome change in my opinion, it feels in line with the time skip, that we get a more adult version of them. itd be unrealistic if they went all those years the same people they were in college.
They also said this has no progress at all as if this chapter alone doesn't show how it's heading closer to reconciliation
