I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country Chapter 165 Discussion

I finished the novel a while ago, though my chinese skill is pretty decent, I still could miss some points (also my memory is pretty poor).

But I'd say this novel is one of my favourite. Although, the plot isn't intense, and it's indeed about stabilising the country. It might've felt boring at some time, but the characters and the relationship between the main CP are making up for that.

Usually when I read a novel, even if I like characters to bits, there still would be some point of time where I feel irritated (or even hate them yk lol) but this time I didn't have any negative feelings even once.

As for characters... I WOULD LITERALLY THROW HANDS FOR XUE YUAN!!! He's such a good boy!

yep, at first I thought that he's typical scum gong but the further I read the stronger my love for him was. Actually, he isn't scum at all, our little emperor is the real 渣男 heh Spoiler

after that impromptu handjob that he asked Xue Yuan to do for him and then like ayyy we're just bros helping each other and I'm straight

Xue Yuan's feeling for little emperor made my heart clench several times.

Spoiler

when he said that if you trained a dog, you have to take responsibility for it (I don't remember the wording correctly but it was something like that) ;

or when the little emperor is like: "you like me."

and Xue Yuan: "actually you're wrong, 我好喜欢你"

[collapse]

don't if it's a spoiler but Spoiler

every time little emperor gripped xue yuan's chin, I was going feral

The little emperor is also such a likeable character, even though he's acting like a 渣男 towards Xue Yuan at first lol. Especially in the last few chapters, I really admired him for his decision: Spoiler

he's gotten used to Xue Yuan always being around him, it's the period when their feelings are mutual, he showed his weaknesses to Xue Yuan, and Xue Yuan also showed his. But even if Gu Yuanbai was reluctant to let Xue Yuan go see the world for a pretty long time (3 or 5 years? I don't remember...), he still let him leave in order for him to gain a stable position for himself and have no regrets, so in the future IF they fell out of the relationship, Xue Yuan wouldn't depend only on Gu Yuanbai or be obsessed to the point that falling out would drive him insane but could find another path for himself. He didn't want for such a great person as Xue Yuan to just waste his time just as 侍卫 by the emperor's side when he could accomplish much more.

All in all, it's pretty light novel (well, except for some things) with great characters who will make you laugh occasionally~ strongly recommend!

(And I still have extras to finish...)
