@liztai ah, Meng Xi Shi didn't write Mo Dao Zu Shi—that was Moxiang Tongxiu.
Meng Xi Shi has written The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua, Thousand Autumns, and Peerless (Wushuang)... and also other books I can't think of right now, hehe. Maybe you'll enjoy one of those!
So far I've only finished reading The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua, and I thought it was great. The romance is very slowburn and understated, and most of the plot is about politics and family issues, which really worked for me. :) I'm reading Thousand Autumns but not got very far with it yet.
