3.5 stars. This is kind of a comedy despite the dark story - political intrigue, murder, tragedy, etc.
This is a bit like a tragicomedy, if there is such a word - crack-ish with zany moments, but serious when it needed to be, full of mystery and political intrigue, with the past being the key to understanding the present. The political intrigues were really fun to read - a large part of my drive to continue this novel was to unravel the suspense and mystery behind Yu She's past and identity. I even drew a relationship tree to figure out all the different bits of information and how everyone related to each other. Lots of fun. I also loved the crack and comedy between the main couple lol. It's hilarious. There was also emotional angst and more serious and intimate moments.
Unfortunately the suspense that kept me going kind of dies off at about 70%. Yu She's past is revealed, and the last 30% is just a bunch of political schemes as he and Zhong Wan manoeuvre the other characters to where they want. It felt like the novel was steadily increasing in tension, and then plateaus at about 70%.
Still, quite a fun read if you're looking for something a bit tragic but also a bit comedic.
