Status Updates From Descendant of the Crane

This could have been a script for a full-length period drama and I'd have binged on it. But as a book..... hmmmm

Colour me invested.

"A dead king. A deceived populace. A truth seeker. Sounds like a story that could end very well or very poorly, and I want to spectate."... Someone with eyes like that could have smiled as they bled.

Absolutely crying there is so so much bad w it as a palace drama enjoyer but I lowkey also don't want to dnf this

Someone needs to let this author watch some proper historical mystery/political dramas bc wdym the MC has already spilled a possible huge state secret and definitely sensitive information three times to people who we most likely cant trust. Why do you not know how the court works.
