Just seen on her author website that she passed away in December, so for that reason this book will not be completed. Rest in peace Tessa ......
Very nice......

The author is one helluva writer!
whoa! amazing start. It's different content but am loving it. It's good that the FL is not a crybaby but I think it's me who'll shed a lot of tears, lol! Thanks Ms. Karima, you're doing awesome, I crave for more...
This is a lovely book… more updates please
It is very interesting and juicy but what is paining me, is the fact that the book is not yet finished and has unnecessary stops.
Come on… where is chapter 27?
So good can’t wait to keep reading
This is an interesting piece. You will enjoy every Chapter. Give it a try.
Let me just say this: the worldbuilding in this section is chef's kiss. Not the fancy magical kind, but the gritty, practical kind that makes you believe these people actually live somewhere. The kang beds. Think about it—this is such a simple invention, but the author makes it feel revolutionary. "It just uses a bit more firewood," the elder says with regret, already satisfied. One sentence tells you everything about their relationship with heat, with scarcity, with making do. And the village chief limping on his leg, pressing gifts into Zhang Hu's hands—this is a place where a heated floor is literally life-saving. Then there's the medical kit description: "three layers and multiple compartments, making it highly portable." This is the kind of detail that makes a fictional world feel tangible. You can picture it. You can imagine carrying it. The author isn't just telling you medicine is advanced—they're showing you the tools. The tavern scene is incredibly cinematic. Horse neighing, scream, the crowd erupting into murmurs, the mother wailing, the physicians descending with their kits. It reads like a film sequence. And the carriage from the yet-to-open medical clinic—"a stretcher and a large carriage"—this is worldbuilding through action, not exposition. But my favorite worldbuilding moment is probably the economic geography. Yun Zhou as a transportation hub, bordering Western Region kingdoms, the Xu River connecting to Qing Province, the iron ore and coal deposits. The princess does actual research and presents a logical case: "What if we turn Yun Zhou into a prosperous place?" This isn't magic development—it's strategic thinking grounded in real geography and trade routes. The steel mill location, the Yun-Qing Economic Zone, the pilot project approach—all of it feels like someone actually thought through how infrastructure development works. It's satisfying in a way that most fantasy worldbuilding isn't. This world has economics.
I loved this whole story. I wish it hadn't ended. I'm craving more. Lol....thanks for keeping me wanting more.
