Well I didn't understand the politics in this book (will just have to wait for the translation) but I was really bothered with who is the ML so I took a peek at the end. Turns out I was rooting for the wrong guy. There was a comment in the original website (jjwxc) of other people rooting for the wrong CP and I realise I fell into that category too so just a spoiler regarding ML: Spoiler: ML identity and who I was rooting for So ML, if you did read the translated chapters, should be chancellor Liu or Liu Tong Yi. I speed read a couple of chapters in and took a peek into the last few chapters to confirm because I dread rooting for the wrong person and MC apparently gives ML a second name so it was a bit confusing at first because I thought Liu Tong Yi was NOT the ML. But I'm pretty sure he is. I suppose it's good since MC clearly has feelings for him in the beginning. As for who I was rooting for, I was rooting for the emperor I know I know, they're related but it's rather distant MC's father is emperor's grandfather's brother. It's a far stretch. There's some undertone good feelings there. Like MC actually had a wife but she's trash, got pregnant (not MC's) and when MC got rid of her, emperor's mother tried to matchmake MC with another girl. But MC made a reputation for himself as a cutsleeve etc (there's some backstory here) and emperor promises to help MC to get his mother off MC's back and like says something along the line of "as long as I'm here, you will never have another wangfei" and my shipping glasses was ON but that ship never sailed
Spoiler please? Does the MC get to have a better reputation? Is the emperor on his side? What happens between the MC and ML to be together? Does the Yun guy like MC? So many questions...
Same, I was rooting for the emperor, but I have this bad feeling so I end up reading the last chapters, guess what my ship did not sail
I read ahead and it seems emperor like Yun Yu? And the male prostitute MC brought back hates him a lot??? Edit: they are both lovers
If you still want to know, the “sex” scene happened at the very end in the extra where MC tried to get ML drunk, but it’s really hard to tell who’s top and bottom. Apparently, after MC “died,” the collaborator who know he is a spy woke up and tell the court what happened. The emperor is shown to be on MC’s side. ML helps MC escaped several times, later MC works under ML’s business and I guess they got together from there. Yun guy is MC’s nephew.
I don’t know about that. I read it at sto.cc and for some reason the extra chapters was noted with page numbers. also, seems like the emperor die at the end.
Since it's not the official site...was it really written by the author? Or did somebody copy-paste fanfiction?
It looks pretty real to me. I have always used that site to read raws since most of the time jjwxc need a vip to unlock chapters, and at the author section is the author’s name.
