Description
As a traitor, Yue Lingxi knew that in order to turn her life around, she had to be loyal to the emperor. When there were assassins attacking, she stood in front to defend, and when there were corrupt officials causing trouble, she stood at the forefront to protect her fellow soldiers. But the emperor instead flew into a rage, and there was a chill in the air as he spoke to her. “You are so diligent. Should I award you a plaque?” “Your Majesty, serving the emperor faithfully is my duty.” “Xi Xi, to be loyal to the monarch, one must first love the monarch, do you understand?” Little Red Riding Hood, who has strong survival skills but fell into the trap of love, versus the Big Bad Wolf who is always ready to pounce. The female protagonist is not the type of bodyguard, but she is intelligent and tenacious, and not at all weak. Important matters should be prominently displayed.

My Thoughts on A Gentleman’s Recollections
"A Gentleman's Recollections" promised a journey into ancient China with a clever female lead and a devoted love interest, and for the most part, it delivered. I found myself intrigued by the initial setup and ultimately satisfied with the overall experience, though some aspects gave me pause.
First Impressions
The story throws you right into the thick of things – a battlefield where Yue Lingxi, our female lead, demonstrates her sharp mind and strategic abilities. This dynamic beginning immediately grabbed my attention. I appreciated the author's decision to forego a lengthy introduction and instead immerse us in the action, trusting that we'd quickly understand the stakes. It's a bold move that mostly pays off, although I can see how some might feel a bit lost if they haven't read the prequel.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its characters, particularly the main couple. Yue Lingxi is a breath of fresh air. She's intelligent, strong, and refreshingly flawed. Her emotional struggles and the way she navigates her trauma made her feel incredibly human and relatable. The male lead, the Emperor, is also a standout. He's portrayed as understanding and patient, a welcome change from the often-oppressive male leads I've encountered in similar stories. Their romance is sweet and refined, avoiding the toxic dynamics that can sometimes plague these narratives. I also appreciated the absence of prolonged, jealous rivalries, which often feel tiresome. The side characters were interesting and I enjoyed reading an ancient novel where the family interacted like a normal family.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find some aspects a bit rushed. The pacing, while initially exciting, sometimes felt too fast, leading to moments where I felt like I was being told what was happening rather than shown. I also noticed that some character arcs felt underdeveloped. Some felt that the female lead took a back seat to the action.

Despite its flaws, "A Gentleman’s Recollections" is a worthwhile read. I recommend it to those seeking a historical romance with compelling characters and an engaging plot. While it might not be perfect, it offers a refreshing take on the genre and provides a satisfying conclusion.
