Not bad. I've only read the first chapter but it captured my interest. If it's not late at night, I'll be reading more. The characters are good. I could easily deduce their personalities the first time I see them. I hope this will not fail my expectations. Thanks for writing!
A good and interesting novel held back by pointless scenes and sudden drops in MC's IQ. The story is great and it's fun to see the 2 MCs change the world and get rich. Sadly, they don't always seem as intelligent as they should be considering their background in the real world. Writing quality is fine, though you might get irked by sudden mixing of 1st person and 3rd person in a few para. Good luck to the author.
This chapter is fundamentally about who gets to decide what counts as important—and the answer always depends on who's holding the token. The central symbol is that little token Wang Yu'an pulls from his sleeve. It's small, unassuming, and it stops an execution. In one gesture, it transforms a merchant's life from 'worthy of death' to 'too important to touch.' The token represents institutional power, and its effectiveness depends entirely on the viewer's recognition of its authority. Murong Jing recognizes it immediately and backs down. She doesn't question it. She doesn't demand to see it up close. She just... yields. That's the whole system in miniature. But the deeper symbolism is in the merchant class itself. Murong Jing's entire attitude rests on the assumption that merchants are inherently inferior—'The Ji family is merely a merchant household.' Yet Wang Yu'an points out that his family started as merchants too. The hypocrisy isn't just personal; it's structural. The aristocracy needs the merchant class for money and labor but refuses to acknowledge their worth. And the Jis are caught in this contradiction—they're wealthy enough to donate a hundred thousand taels for a river embankment but still considered 'lowly' by someone with a fancy title. The river embankment itself is a symbol worth examining. It's infrastructure—a thing that protects people, that holds back chaos (literally, in the case of flooding). The Ji family is funding something that benefits the public good, and yet the princess wants to execute them for 'disrespect.' The irony is almost too clean: the people doing the actual good work are the ones under threat, while the 'noble' princess is there to punish them for not showing proper deference. What kind of society values ceremony over substance? Then there's the wedding itself as a symbol. A wedding is supposed to be a joyous union, a coming together. Instead, it becomes a battlefield. The princess arrives not to celebrate but to destroy. Wang Yu'an enters not to fight but to negotiate. The wedding hall becomes a space where different kinds of power collide—imperial authority versus institutional influence versus economic power. And the fact that the celebration is interrupted, that the guests flee, that swords are drawn at a wedding—this is the author telling us that in this world, joy is always fragile, always vulnerable to the ambitions of the powerful. Chen Shujin's imprisonment is another layer. He's locked in Mulan Yuan, a courtyard that might as well be a prison cell. The door clicks shut. His mother wails. This is the domestic consequence of political maneuvering—the people who aren't players but get caught in the game. The 'funeral' atmosphere the author describes is significant: Chen Shujin's ambitions are dead, his relationship with Ji Ruyue is dead, and he's lying in a courtyard like a man who's already been mourned. And the final image—Ji Ruyue walking toward Wang Yu'an as Chen Shujin watches from behind a locked door. The visual composition is almost symbolic: the door separates the two worlds, the light and the dark, the future and the past. Chen Shujin is on the wrong side of that door.
Thanks Again for a wonderful works...it was kinda hard to look for basketball sports genre..it's just too few..and your one of the earliest and long lasting novel...keep it up on uploading good chapters...thanks again...
The beginning of the story is the stage of the true magician, the life span is 1000 years, then it became 500 years, and after one chapter it became 250 years. When you set rules for the world, you must not change them in every chapter.
I enjoyed the storyline, it's very consistent and makes you want to carry on to the next episode. It really is an hidden gem, but the writer can still improve more with the words/spellings
the story is nicee
