I rarely read novels with more than 150 chapters. However, my interest in the amnesia trope and positive reviews convinced me to give this one a try. The synopsis can be somewhat misleading, though. While it does mention certain elements, they don’t significantly impact the plot until the very end of the novel, when she finally recovers from her double amnesia.
What I enjoy about ancient-themed novels is the political backdrop. This one offers some unpredictable, if not entirely mind-blowing, plot twists, similar to many other ancient Chinese novels.
The first 50 chapters are quite slow-paced, nearly making me give up, but it becomes much more engaging afterward. Perhaps it’s because the romance starts to build, and I had grown tired of the male lead’s behavior in the early chapters. Finally, there’s progress on both main characters’ sides.
It’s a nice, long, and fulfilling read if you enjoy ancient Chinese novels, especially those with an enemies-to-lovers trope. ?
