My Thoughts on Xiao Jiu
"Xiao Jiu" was a surprisingly emotional rollercoaster for such a short novel. I went in expecting a light and fluffy read, and while there are definitely sweet moments, I was also reaching for the tissues more than once. It's a testament to the author's skill that they managed to pack so much depth into just 25 chapters.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a cute and devoted protagonist. Xiao Jiu is undeniably lovable – innocent, honest, and completely smitten with his elder brother's bodyguard. The unrequited love aspect definitely tugged at my heartstrings from the beginning. I was immediately invested in seeing how their relationship would unfold.
What Works Well
The biggest strength of "Xiao Jiu" is its ability to evoke strong emotions. The author does a fantastic job of portraying Xiao Jiu's feelings, making you truly feel his longing and devotion. The pacing is also well-managed, with the story unfolding at a rate that feels both satisfying and never rushed. The smut scenes, when they arrive, feel organic to the story and well-written. I also appreciated the palace intrigue that added another layer to the romance.
Areas of Concern
My main issue lies with the ending. I felt a strong sense of injustice that the Emperor, who is portrayed as a complete jerk, never truly faced any consequences for his actions. It left me feeling unsatisfied and wanting more resolution. Also, the character development felt a little rushed. I wish the author had spent more time exploring the characters.

Final Verdict
Despite my reservations about the ending, "Xiao Jiu" is a worthwhile read, especially if you enjoy stories with unrequited love, palace intrigue, and a healthy dose of sweetness. The translation is excellent, making it easy to get lost in the story. Just be prepared for some angst along the way, and maybe keep a box of tissues handy! Overall, I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
