Writing quality: easy to comprehend. Stability of Updates: once, twice a week. Not bad! Story development: The first book is a bit too jumpy. The second one is pretty good. Not draggy, but not jumpy. The authors emphasize more on the history part instead of the romance part. Character design: Yue Maiden's character is a bit too flat and not too many descriptions about her. Ying's part is well written. The author implies her characters not through a description; but through her childhood story. She had a tough problematic life with her mother that shaped her characters. World Background: the author has her own way in describing the background. Yue Maiden who lived in a stilt house, the slavery that was common in that era; girls who were sold to brothels or as slaves; etc. Not too descriptive, but informative enough.

oh noooooooooo!
Ying thought that her mother cried because she cared for her. She didn't know that her mother cried since she was embarrassed with her past deed. Her mother thought that Ying was a bastard child of her husband. Therefore she hated the toddler who was just one or two years old. She had tried to kill the toddler by strangling her neck many times, but the toddler just hadn't destined to die. - PhantomSwordsman3yrCommented
awful woman!! Poor Ying didn't even realize it!

She's not afraid of a knife, but why was she so timid when dealing with the guy she liked?
The young girl's heart jumped. Her face was a bit blushed. How she wished the hand, which just helped her to get in the chariot could always hold her hand and protect her. However, she knew it was just wishful thinking. - PhantomSwordsman3yrCommented
oh wait....the queen said that Ying was more beautiful if compared to the other girls! [img=recommend]
Everybody didn't say a word. They all had the same opinion as to the queen. Although very beautiful, Ying seldom smiles. She had the aura of a queen, towering and lofty. Although she could dance gracefully and elegantly, she didn't have the attitude that was willing to serve anyone. Instead, she had an aura that demanded other people respect and bow at her feet. Fuchai was an old man, he might not be able to appreciate that kind of beauty. - PhantomSwordsman3yrCommented
She wants to be a king, and not a king's concubine! LOL
The queen said, "Although the girl didn't say much, I can tell that she's a prideful young woman. I'm afraid that she's not a concubine material at all. I think that Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are more suitable although Ying is more beautiful!" - PhantomSwordsman3yrReplied to Wulin_Jianghu
Different kinds of beauty. Now is summer, and I miss winter and snow. I will pick up Ying then!
If Shi Yiguang was like a beautiful spring breeze, Zheng Dan was like a beautiful shiny day in the summertime, while Ying was a beautiful snowy mountain. So majestic, beautiful, cold, and untouchable. - PhantomSwordsman3yrCommented
a*********ww
"Although she might be the most beautiful girl in the world. But for me, you are my everything!" - PhantomSwordsman3yrCommented
Interesting point!
Ying nodded and asked again, "But what about slaves? Even if they work hard, they could not become official or be a noble person! How do you explain that?" - PhantomSwordsman3yrCommented
her father's dream comes true!
Hearing the queen's word, Ying felt a lump on her throat. She wanted to cry as she remembered her father's words. Who would have thought that she who had used to be called as wolf girl would wear a beautiful silk dress and talked side by side with a queen? - PhantomSwordsman3yrCommented
what a tough life for women to live in that era
While the poor man still had the chance to improve their life through study and work, there's no chance for women to improve their lives by all means. Women's lives depend on their husbands. And men from noble or aristocracy wouldn't take women from a lowly background to be their wives. Beautiful women, if they're from a humble background and are lucky enough, they might have a chance to be concubines or rich men. But if they're not fortunate and encounter hardship like wars and famine, many of them were sold as slaves, or even to brothels. Such cruelty was the life of women at that time.
