I love this book, the only drawback I can find would be the slow pacing of the story, so far the characters are not a really high level but everything else is great, the slow pacing can be good if the novel turns out to be hundreds of chapters long, hopefully, it will be.
Ten chapters in, and I can safely say I'm impressed. This novel has exceeded all the expectations I had of it, from the start. While it's not your conventional WN (based on where it is set amongst other things), the writing quality is insanely good. Like, really, really good. In fact, I think it trumps the majority of novels on this platform (not necessarily in terms of using complicated or sophisticated words, but as a fellow writer, I can appreciate good quality when I say it). So far, story development has been satisfactory, with the pace being neither too slow, nor too fast. Character Design is also great, with the author utilising different themes to bring them to life. I particularly have a soft spot for Zarqa, and Alibaba. Update stability is consistent, tho due to some irl circumstances, the release rate can't be higher. Which is absolutely fine. As long as there's still chapters being uploaded, that's all that matters ?Lastly, since I've only just finished the introductory arc, I can't speak much about world background. But after getting a glimpse of the author's skill, I'm sure it'd also be great. P.s.Great job so far, Author! Don't be discouraged by the lack of readers, you have a gem in your hands ???
What's the name of the original I can't find it
Thank you all for the honest reviews, I really appreciate it.
'Father, don't cry.' Four words. Four fucking words and I was already emotionally compromised. Let me explain because this deserves it. Zhao Xin has spent two years being treated like furniture by his own father. The text is brutally clear about this: 'Perhaps parents always prefer clever and healthy children, and ever since arriving in this world, he had been nothing but a substitute.' He watches Zhao Zhen's affection shift to the third brother like it's 'as natural and effortless as eating or drinking.' He knows his father values him only as a bargaining chip against the ministers, not as a son. And yet, when the Emperor comes weeping over another dead child, Zhao Xin doesn't seize the moment for manipulation. He doesn't calculate. He just... pats his father's back. Like he did for his own nephews and nieces in his previous life. That detail hit me so hard because it shows that despite everything—the transmigration, the humiliation, the political isolation—he's still fundamentally a good person who knows how to offer comfort. And Zhao Zhen's reaction? The text says his 'tears showed no sign of stopping' and even the palace attendants start weeping along. This is a man who has been under immense pressure—'constantly nagged by court officials about the succession, who genuinely did not want to divide his vast estate among distant relatives, and who even harbored a desire to prove himself by fathering a son.' He's not a villain. He's a broken father who has lost children and is drowning in political expectations. When Zhao Xin speaks, it's not a calculated move. It's a human moment between a father and a son who have never truly connected. Then there's Consort Miao. Oh god, Consort Miao. She's the emotional anchor of this whole setup. The description of her is devastating in its simplicity: 'Her eyes curved like crescents, and the small dimples on her cheeks seemed to hold honey.' She feeds her son slowly, shows no impatience, and whispers instructions not because she thinks he can understand, but because 'her humble and submissive attitude was what mattered.' Her greatest wish? 'For her pair of children to be safe and sound.' That's it. No ambition for power, no schemes for influence. Just a mother who loves her kids in a place where love is a liability. And Huirou! The elder sister who 'had never even uttered a harsh word to him' and 'often watched the servants attending him, fearing they might neglect him.' She's the one who feels a 'bad premonition' when he smiles. That sibling bond—quiet, protective, unspoken—is one of the most tender things in these chapters. I need to know what happens between them when he's no longer 'dim-witted.' Will she resent him? Will she be relieved? Will she be the first person he trusts?
I'm still reeling from the fact that I devoured an entire book in one sitting! The author's masterful storytelling and skillful plotting had me hooked from start to finish. The writing was engaging, the characters were well-developed, and the story was utterly addictive. I'm in awe of the author's talent and can't wait to read more of their work!
I thought it would be the only good thing this week... I was completely wrong. a waste of a good idea, but there are people who like everything, even that. (This is horrible, the guy seems obsessed with this "Delia") ....
Omigosh!!!! I love this!!!! ??.

First of all if you hate slow novels this ain't for you like seriously am at chapter 60 and their honest hasn't been nothing exciting about it but this is how slow novels are they build up a good world with good character and from their slowly build up the excitement. So hopefully this kicks up after say most slow novels do in about the 100 chapter.
Amazing story so far(ch 91) Reminds me a lot of famous novel Dual Cultivation. Though here mc is more egoistic, ruthless, decisive and hard to impress which i like it a lot☺️Starting 10 or so chs aren't too impressive but rather leave a bad impression with author's a bit too unique system and acceptance of female lead Eve of him and their relationship but story improves very much as it progresses packed with lot of action and cool stuff and ofcourse amazing hot scenes?
overall a great story however the quality of the translation is what is really holding it back, I would recommend this story getting an editor or something because it can get pretty hard to read at times
