Well damn. I was initially hesitant to start this because although I love Regency Aus, I'm not a big fan of xiuhan but I'm so glad I did, this was flawless.I always think it takes a special kind of skills to write historical aus and do them justice with world building and you absolutely nailed it. Loved all the characterization, especially Minseok.I liked that you made him very strong/non-self pitying from the start.I almost want a prequel of his time in self-imposed exile because he definitely matured and grew there.Oddly enough my favorite character ended up being Heechul and Jongin's brothers lol.Heechul's doses of dandy were really fun to read along. I just really admire how expertly you wove this au together and 93k (!!!!). I look forward to reading the sequel.
