  1. Wow…..so many characters and terms. I might need to print this cheat sheet until I am familiar with the story. Thank you for your help and thoughtfulness to us non-Chinese readers!

  2. Your updates are so fast! ^_^ just one thing, I think Chu Fei Yang’s father is called Chu Pei. Correct me if im wrong.

  3. Can you add the description of Rong Yun He as ‘the young man with white hair and antisocial’? I’m confuse every time the book speak about ‘white hair man’ I think of some old geezer stalking YQM XD

  4. Hai Qian Shi has the wrong description. I believe she is Hai wangfei and Hai Tian’s mother. The description is for here is a copy of Hai Chen Xie’s description.

  5. “Chu Fei Yang/ future Chu Wang/ Zuo Xiang: the left prime minister. Loves Yun Qian Meng.”
    Me: OH MY GOSH WHAT? SPOILEEEEERRR T_T But yeah I wanted to know anyway who’s the male lead so that’s fine XD. Also, since when did he love Yun Qian Meng? They rarely had any contact?
