I loved this so much, it was adorable and sweet and just amazing. In terms of the plot, it was so interesting, exciting and fun to read. The prince has a lot of things to deal with, and he wants to ascend the throne for the good of his people, not for his own selfish reasons as such. It's good! In terms of the romance ahhhhhhwjsbsnjehfnsms  It was not rushed, and it was approached in such a beautiful way. They both had time to think about their feelings, process, have a relationship and understand themselves and the other. Their love was so beautiful and they're both awkward and confident and it's just such a healthy happy thing to see. Also they're both soooooo good looking and gorgeous!!! The other characters are also interesting, they all have a backbone, they're well thought out with their own complexities, fears and strengths. This is such an amazing one that I would defo reccommend over and over again!

Western historical aesthetics crosses with Eastern culture and aesthetics. School literal prince and misunderstood rebel that just wants friends. It's interesting and they're quite cute, but the pacing has room for improvement. While the pacing isn't neck-breaking plot reveal after plot reveal as some other manhuas, the stuff that happens is still too dramatic and fast to my liking. There are also some moments that I don't understand, like...SPOILERS... The rebel holds up the prince in a room after receiving a dog leash as a mocking present. And somehow, the rebel thinks it's appropriate to invade someone's personal space and bite them on the neck. And then somehow there are journalists outside waiting for the prince's grand reveal interview or something. 1) How did the rebel get in the prince's room? 2) I understand fan service and that the rebel sucks at social skills, but come on, getting up that close will be considered creepy if he weren't handsome 3) Wtf is with the dramatic timing of journalists waiting for a surprise interview. Isn't the attendant supposed to knock and confirm or something? Also, the childhood lovers trope *hunches over and coughs to tears in laughter* Rant over. Other than the forced dramatic plots and cringy fan service (hey, I like fan service too, but not when it comes from ignorant personal space invasion), the story's quite cute and interesting. It's not an unsalvageable story by any means, but it does suffer from over-dramatic plot and drama that plague manhuas. The setting is more than enough to pull me back into the story though. I am also quite fond of the righteous soft-hearted rebel, and characters that try to match-make the prince and the rebel. The art is also pretty (love the outfits). So I'll still read it, just not as something that I'd seek out myself. It's like if I happen to see an update, I'll read just to read.
