Description
On the Third-Year of Kaihuang, as the Great Sui unfolds its curtains to welcome the glorious Tang Dynasty in succession to the Northern Dynasty, Yang Jian established a secret agency, the Jiejian Bureau in preparation to unify the world. In a stormy night filled with snow, a convoy of tribute sent by the Kingdom of Khotan was ambushed and massacred with not a living soul left behind. The Second Commander of the Jiejian Bureau, Feng Xiao came forth to investigate the case under Imperial Orders. A gathering of storms would soon take place in a little city which sat on the frontier, called the City of Six Crafts, where all the top martial powers across the lands would meet. The ever successful Second Commander Feng meets a dead end when he ran into a Master Daoist with ailing health. All would be unknown if they had never crossed paths, but once their paths crossed, Second Commander Feng realized this ailing man had more secrets than himself.

My Thoughts on Peerless
"Peerless" is a web novel that truly lived up to its name. From the moment I started reading, I was drawn into its intricate world of political intrigue, complex characters, and witty banter. It's one of those stories that sticks with you long after you've finished the last page.
First Impressions
Honestly, the synopsis was a bit overwhelming at first glance, with all the genres and tags listed. However, once I dove in, I quickly realized the author, Meng Xi Shi, masterfully weaves together action, mystery, comedy, and romance into a cohesive and compelling narrative. The initial mystery surrounding the missing jade and the Khotan ambassador immediately grabbed my attention, setting the stage for the captivating journey ahead.
What Works Well
The characters are undoubtedly the strongest aspect of this novel. Cui Buqu, the sickly yet brilliant strategist, and Feng Xiao, the narcissistic and powerful martial artist, are a match made in heaven (or perhaps, in a battlefield of wits). Their dynamic is simply phenomenal. I found myself constantly laughing at their bickering and scheming, while also being deeply invested in their growing affection for each other. The slow-burn romance was perfectly executed, with subtle gestures and shared understandings that spoke volumes.
Beyond the main couple, the side characters are also incredibly well-developed, each with their own unique personalities and motivations. They add depth and richness to the story, making the world feel truly alive. The plot itself is intricate and well-paced, with each arc building upon the previous one to reveal a larger conspiracy. It’s a story that rewards careful reading, as the author skillfully foreshadows events and leaves clues for the reader to piece together.
Areas of Concern
I did notice some minor inconsistencies in the early chapters regarding Feng Xiao's characterization, particularly his supposed mysophobia. It felt a bit out of place and not entirely consistent with his later actions. Also, the political plot can be a bit confusing at times, especially if you're not familiar with the historical context. It's not a major issue, but it can require a bit of extra attention to fully grasp all the nuances.

Final Verdict
Despite a few minor flaws, "Peerless" is an exceptional web novel that I highly recommend. It's a masterclass in character development, plot construction, and witty dialogue. If you enjoy stories with intricate mysteries, complex relationships, and a healthy dose of humor, then you absolutely must give this one a try. Be prepared to lose sleep, laugh out loud, and maybe even shed a few tears along the way. This is a novel that deserves all the praise it receives, and I can't wait to see what Meng Xi Shi comes up with next.
