Description
He, Murong Fang Qing, a romantic, natural, unrestrained, and an absolute beauty. His greatest interest is to appreciate and flirt with beauties. His biggest regret is that he came from a Wulin* family but did not know martial arts. That day, he just looked for flowers and willows in the brothel as usual. How could the Emperor abduct him to the palace by mistake and conferred the title of “Consort Qing”? He thought it was a trick of fate but unexpectedly, it was a turning point of life. One is an all-powerful Emperor. One is the Lord in distress who has excellent martial arts and beautiful appearance but has fallen into dust. One is General Ling Biao, a famous and affectionate man. How can these three men who are equally outstanding look at him at the same time? Can they see his heart clearly?

My Thoughts on Consort Qing
"Consort Qing" is a whirlwind of ancient court intrigue, martial arts, and budding romance, and my experience reading it was equally as dynamic. This novel definitely has a specific flavor, and whether you enjoy it seems to depend heavily on your tolerance for certain tropes.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The early chapters are genuinely funny, with a protagonist whose inner thoughts provide plenty of amusement. There's a lightheartedness that draws you in, promising a comedic romp through the imperial harem. The "luck of the dumb" trope is used effectively, and I found myself chuckling along with the MC's escapades.
What Works Well
The novel shines in its humor and fast-paced plot. It's a quick read, easily devoured in a day or two. The main character's silly inner monologues are a definite highlight. The author clearly has a knack for comedic writing, and the initial premise is intriguing. I appreciate the story not dragging on unnecessarily. Some readers may find the emotional depth and tear-jerking moments to be a strong point as well.
Areas of Concern
However, the novel falters in its character development. The romantic relationships feel rushed and underdeveloped. I didn't quite grasp why everyone was so enamored with the MC beyond his beauty. The plot, while fast-paced, sometimes felt too fast, glossing over important details and character motivations. The translation quality could also be improved. While serviceable, some passages were difficult to understand, hindering my overall enjoyment. Some readers may be put off by the MC's perceived shift in personality or the inclusion of potentially problematic elements like forced relationships.

Final Verdict
"Consort Qing" is a mixed bag. While it offers moments of genuine humor and a quick, engaging read, its underdeveloped relationships, potential translation issues, and problematic plot elements hold it back. If you're looking for a lighthearted, fast-paced story and can overlook these flaws, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you prefer well-developed characters and nuanced relationships, you might be disappointed. I'd give it a tentative 3 out of 5 stars.
