I finished priest's Guangze Jiushi: Jinyan Pian & Shanghua Pian (广泽旧事 锦阳篇 & 上华篇) a while ago. It was really good. I particularly like the way priest incorporated ancient poetry during key moments of the story.

I wrote a review of a sort for it on my DW blog here, along with three other danmei novels I read a while back. They are Married Thrice to a Salted Fish (三嫁咸鱼), Imperial Uncle (皇叔) and Zisui Zhi Chen (恣睢之臣). The spoilers are unmarked, so please proceed at your own discretion.

Enjoyed reading your write-ups! Always nice to see people talk about Imperial Uncle here because I've had it in my ereader for ages and could use the push to finally start it. ^^;

I wish I knew enough about poetry to appreciate the way they're deployed in media haha.

Thank you for reading my write-up! I really enjoyed Imperial Uncle.

I too wish I know more about poetry.

Thanks for sharing your reviews! I read and enjoyed Imperial Uncle recently, and Married Thrice to a Salted Fish a couple of years ago, and enjoyed them both.
