La traducción no era tan buena, pero lo suficiente como para entenderla. Read it for the cool sleuthing/mystery solving and political intrigue. i was kinda disappointed actually, coz some of the key scenes in their relationship weren't shown and Sui Zhou disappears for chapters at a time. his love interest is Sui Zhou, but don't go into the novel expecting it to be about the two of them (like i did) because it was REALLY light on the romantic development. I have to mention the romance coz i thought this book was primarily romance-centric but i was totally wrong. she talks a lot about the history of the time in the author's notes, the biographies of these characters (she based them off real world people), her interpretations of their actions etc. There are about five arcs/cases that Tang Fan resolves, and the secondary cast is really fun. he actually reminded me a bit of Xie Lian from Heaven Official's Blessing. he 'levels up' by the end of the novel and becomes the prime minister iirc. set in ancient china, the main character, Tang Fan, is a lowly court official who solves a lot of cases and maneuvers around political plots. This is a detective novel with a lot of political intrigue. this is much better than 北斗 Bei Dou and more like what i expect from Meng Xi Shi.
