Description
Ming Huashang was the younger fraternal twin sister. Her birth symbolized auspiciousness and she lost her mother at a young age causing Duke Zhen to dote on her immensely. She was spoiled to the point where she became ignorant, incompetent, and lazy; she was the complete opposite of her elder fraternal twin brother who was renowned all throughout Chang’an. Ming Huashang originally lived a peaceful life, prepared to dilly dally and eat till she died. Until one night, she had a dream and learned that she was actually a fake daughter. The two children were swapped at birth, and the real daughter was living among the commoners. Although she was raised in an impoverished environment, she was diligent and motivated. She became a well-known talented woman at a young age, in stark contrast to her fake. Later, the truth was revealed. The real daughter was taken back to the duke manor causing her status as the fake daughter to plummet. In the end, she was poisoned to death, silently, in the middle of the night. Ming Huashang, whose biggest dream was to live a long life before dying, was terrified. Seeing that there was only one year left before the return of the real daughter, Ming Huashang tucked her tail between her legs, got her act together, and tried her best to please her elder twin brother in name, Ming Huazhang. But her aloof and excellent elder brother couldn’t be fooled. Ming Huashang failed to please her big thigh, so she gave up decisively and set her sights on her real elder brother – the top scholar Su Xingzhi, the future prime minister from humble beginnings. After the third time Ming Huashang sneaked out to meet the newly minted top scholar, Ming Huazhang appeared in her room late at night and said to her in disappointment, “Younger sister, why is your patience still so poor.”

My Thoughts on A Match Made In Heaven (Jiuyue Liuhuo)
This novel caught my eye with its blend of historical romance, mystery, and crime-solving in ancient China. It promised something different from the usual tropes, and after diving in, I found that it mostly delivers.
First Impressions
Initially, I was expecting a typical "fake daughter" drama. However, it quickly became clear that this story is much more than that. The focus shifts towards intricate investigations and navigating the complexities of court politics during the Tang Dynasty, specifically the era of Empress Wu Zetian. This wasn't a bad thing, but it definitely requires adjusting your expectations.
What Works Well
The characters are a major strength. The female lead, Ming Huashang, is particularly well-developed. She isn't a Mary Sue, but a clever and empathetic woman who uses her strengths to solve cases. I appreciated that she wasn't portrayed as perfect; her flaws made her relatable and her successes feel earned. The male lead, Ming Huazhang, is righteous and principled, sometimes to a frustrating degree, but ultimately a good and loyal character. The mysteries themselves are engaging, with cases ranging from the "Snowy Night Banquet" to the "Resentment of the Buddha Who Leaving the Soul", each offering unique challenges and insights into the characters and the world they inhabit. I also enjoyed the political intrigue and the inclusion of historical figures, although some historical liberties are taken for the sake of the plot.
Areas of Concern
While the novel is strong overall, it does try to juggle a lot of elements, and some feel less developed than others. The romance, while present, takes a backseat to the mystery and political aspects. Some readers might find the initial setup misleading if they're primarily looking for a romance-focused story.

Final Verdict
"A Match Made In Heaven (Jiuyue Liuhuo)" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a historical novel with a strong mystery element and well-developed characters. It's not a typical romance, so be prepared for a heavier focus on crime-solving and court politics. If you enjoy clever protagonists, intricate plots, and don't mind a few historical liberties, I think you'll find this novel to be a rare gem.
