Hi, Melanie.
I'm glad that u don't mind my negative comment
. I feel most strongly about a story when I'm angry at the action of certain characters in a story. That's why my comment mostly contain negative review. But anyway here's some positive one.
I really like how u write Hung Yee's character. Initially she came across as a shameless gold digger. But the more I read about her the more I like her because even though she repeatedly said she wants to marry rich, I feel that she truly loves Mun Lung (and it turns out I was right hehe). That was part of the reason I want her to succeed in wooing Mun Lung. Another reason I want her to succeed is that I was annoyed with Mun Lung treating
her so coldly and acted like she was the most louthsome person in the world. So, even before I feel that Hung Yee truly loves Mun Lung, I still want her to succeed. And I have this weird idea of Hung Yee succeeded in making Mun Lung fall for her. And after Mun Lung fall for her, his attitude towards her changes and her treats her really really well. This touches Hung Yee very much and she began to love him more than the money. After that they
live happily ever after. Haha.
As for Sui Han, now that I know all her timid, damsel-in-distress act is for a mission, I don't hate her anymore. Now, I feel that among all her actions, the one when she was looking at the hairpins are the most real of her. The fainting, hiding behind Wai Sun's back, insisting on becoming a servant to replace debt, it's all an act. But looking at the hairpin in wonder, that was the real her. I'm not sure about the teasing in the kitchen and the outburst in the servant room though.
Now that this turn of events is revealed, I am confuse about one part of the story in the earlier chapter. Did Sui Han really escape from the brothel? Are the people in the brothel Sun Moon Sect's member too? When Sui Han was thinking to herself, why did she say another girl in the brothel help her escape? Did this event really happen? She can definitely escape by herself. And if it was all a planned before hand, she definited doesn't need to mentioned the girl to herself and make it sound like she was really lucky this girl help her escape.
On to Wai Sun. Love certainly make him lost mind. The guy is going on a dangerous. How can he think of bringing a defenseless girl on the journey? If he is really rasional he would realise how dangerous is it for the girl. He should have brought a servant who knows martial arts. But he so wanted to be with Sui Han that he lost all common sense.
Lastly, Tin Lok. The part where he was jealous of Wai Sun is so funny. "I don't like the way he dresses" - that is the only thing he can think of to dislike Wai Sun. And he has to nod to reaffirm his opinion. That was way too funny. Hahaha.
