Description
Xuan Huaifeng hated that person to the very core. If not for what he did, somehow sneaking into his room that night, his father wouldn’t have sent him all the way to England for studies. If not for him… he would not have to part with his beloved. But in an era of pretentiousness and instability, nobody can guarantee absolute power and status. Once the son of a commander, he had fallen. He, once an aristocrat, had become a meager teacher. When things could not have gotten any worse, he appeared — that person, his old classmate, and now Chief of Customs. Bai Xuelan was his name.

My Thoughts on Jin Yu Wang Chao
First Impressions
"Jin Yu Wang Chao" promised a sweeping historical drama with romance and political intrigue, set in ancient China. I dove in expecting a compelling story, and while the initial world-building was intriguing, some aspects raised immediate red flags. The power dynamics seemed precarious from the start, hinting at a potentially problematic relationship between the main characters.
What Works Well
The author clearly has a knack for creating a vivid historical setting. I appreciated the attention to detail in depicting the customs and societal structures of the time. The political maneuvering and military aspects of the story also held my interest. The characters, while flawed, are complex, and I found myself wanting to understand their motivations, even when I disagreed with their actions. The love-first trope, with one character falling for the other first, also intrigued me and kept me curious about how the relationship would develop.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, "Jin Yu Wang Chao" ventures into territory that I found deeply unsettling. The early chapters introduce elements like kidnapping and r*pe, which are presented in a way that I felt glorified the ML's sadistic tendencies. I struggled with the portrayal of these events and how they shaped the relationship between the main characters. The ML's manipulative behavior and the gullibility of some of the other characters also detracted from my enjoyment of the story. I found it difficult to reconcile these elements with the romantic aspects of the plot.

Final Verdict
"Jin Yu Wang Chao" is a challenging read. While it offers a richly detailed historical setting and complex characters, the presence of non-consensual elements and potentially triggering content cannot be ignored. If you are comfortable with mature themes and morally ambiguous characters, you might find something to appreciate here. However, I would advise approaching this novel with caution and being prepared for content that may be disturbing or upsetting. For me, the problematic aspects ultimately overshadowed the positive elements, leading to a mixed and ultimately disappointing experience.
