The title is deceptive! I was ready for a s*upid novel that didn't make sense but instead I found a study of royal dynasty politics. I'm not someone who likes state leaders, but if Gu Yuanbai becomes emperor/leader I feel like I can believe in the country and have hope for future generations. To some extent the title is true, who doesn't like a handsome person with the intelligence to lead the country wisely? I might as well have a huge crush. I also thought this novel would be a harem novel but 1vs1 is also not bad. ML in the beginning is very redflagged, some people might hate it because his behavior. But ML's character development when he liked MC didn't even feel sudden or forced, I just felt carried away and had just accepted ML pursuing MC the way he did. I really like the way MC and ML love each other, they each realize their partner's potential and talents, instead of shackling their partner under the pretext of love, they support each other so that their partner has strength and stands on their own feet. Their journey and love relationship is not perfect but they each become the best versions of themselves when they are together.And also I was skeptical at first, if MC is an ordinary modern person why is he so good at leading as emperor, isn't he too OP? It turns out the answer is in the extras and it makes a lot of sense. I really liked this novel ❤️❤️❤️
