A good start to a new (hopefully favorite) series. The book starts out slow but you quickly realise that it is the set up for the future books. I loved the protagonist and the plot twist surrounding the potential love interest! Thrice Married to a Salted Fish is more casual and court drama, unlike most danmeis that I have read before - that is not a bad thing! It reminded me most of The Disabled Tyrants Pet Fish (one of my favorite series) from the vibes and lower amount of action.
