What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

The characters are too many, but if we focus on the main ones, there is not much problem. Although Baoyu at fifteen should already have found more sense in my opinion. I agree with the few male characters that appear that he is very spoiled.
On the other hand, Daiyu, her cousin and love interest, reminded me of the capricious and sickly girls in Chinese dramas, who blackmail others with their illnesses and want to get away with everything without thinking if what they do is in their best interest. But in this first half of the story, they are both still very young and childlike. In the next part, it is sure to start their relationship more seriously.
I loved the idea of a boy, now young man, living in the women's ward and being pampered by them. Since it serves as an excuse to describe the customs and experiences of this little-known world. If you like to learn about ancient China, this is a good book. 4/5

I would rate it 4 out of 4. Definitely had some laugh out loud moments. I really enjoy her sense of humor and ability to make people laugh.
