This wasn't the best choice to get back into the reading world. It was heavy as fuck and I don't know if it's the translation or the writing itself but I was confused as fuck all the time. I also could not connect with the characters at all. There was toooooooo much politics and I stupidly thought the "romance" was gonna be between Jing Qi and Helian Yi, and not Jing Qi and Wu Xi. So when I was reading, all I kept thinking of was why there was barely any interaction between Jing Qi and Helian Yi, why it felt like Jing Qi hated the Crown Prince, and it wasn't until Wu Xi had that dream that I understood that something wasn't adding up in my head. It got a little better after that, but I still ended up skimming more and more. It was just too heavy. The reason why I started this was because of a tumblr post and I was like, yes, this seems like something I'd love as I loved Word of Honor. However, watching and reading these kinds of stories are very different. Very. Overall, not the most successful comebacks for me, that's for sure. Took AGES to finish.
Quick basic facts:
Genre: - (Adult) Historical Romance (M/M).
Series: - Standalone.
Love triangle? - (view spoiler)
Cheating? - (view spoiler)
HEA? - (view spoiler)
Favorite character? - Jing Qi .
Would I read more by this author/or of series? - Unsure.
Would I recommend this book/series? - Not really.
Will I read this again in the future? - No.
New Rating - 2 stars.

Finished Reading
If you want to try again one day, the community is currently working on a new translation that tries to make the novel more understandable. Mostly since figures of speech previously didn't translate well for those unfamiliar with how they are used in Chinese vs English.
