Does anybody know when in real-world time this is set? I know nothing about Chinese history, sadly, so I can't tell if it's set in a kind of quasi-semi-real-but-make-it-fantasy historical timeline, or if it's a completely imaginary AU only "flavored" with a historical setting.

I never imagined, when I started reading volume 1 for the first time, that I'd come to be so obsessed with this story and these characters. And now my buddy-read partners are making the (re)reading experience even more awesome. I am wallowing in book joy.

I'll have to buy the fifth, and while I'm at it I'll buy all the others too — the ones that I've already read. My ultimate stamp of approval!
There was a free, fan-translated edition floating around a while ago. Let me DM you...
You're the real MVP, Teal! Got your message and responded. Thanks!
