Putting aside that the 'Dragon Vein Emperor Art' is used on meridians and not the 'rubbish' dragon veins, this is still a novel that I like.I was already going to be disappointed when the first chapter referenced a cliche 'forced marriage' which I assumed would end up with a brain dead fiancee who dumps the MC but I was wrong. Xiao Yuran is sassy and actually kinda cute in how she is determined to marry Su Han. Definitely a different vibe than I, and really the MC, was expecting.But don't worry, there is still cliche setups, like the backstabbing, brain-dead family members. I don't get this over-used plot element. However, in response the MC is certainly not shy in quickly dealing with any antagonist issue. Furthermore, I like how he didn't d*ck around and just quickly chose his aforementioned art (instead of pretending to go through his massive memory library) and quickly got to leveling up. This kind of decisiveness shows itself over and over and it's something I appreciate.Of course his awkward helplessness in dealing with his precocious fiancee is a nice counterpoint.The score on this book so far is dismal, so it's clear that there are more popular genres that people want, but I don't really care and I'll put my vote for this book to be chosen.
