You won't regret reading this! Having read for over a decade, the more books I read, the fewer I actually finish. Many are unoriginal, formulaic, or fall into clichés with immature language. While this book is lengthy, I read it to the end. Some people are arguing, others are nitpicking details, but I think that's completely unnecessary.
Yes, it's definitely worth reading. The author's writing is excellent. The female lead is quick-witted and sharp-minded. It's just that her love in this second life is a bit humble, which is understandable, since in her previous life she couldn't win his heart and didn't even confess, they were just acquaintances.
The female protagonist, disguised as a man from childhood, was forced to shoulder the burdens of the world. Intelligent and resourceful, she is reborn and lives authentically. After expressing the male protagonist's affections, the detailed portrayal of his protectiveness and deep love for her deeply resonates with the reader. "Only you in this world"—a truly moving sentiment.
This is only the second novel I've read from beginning to end in a long time. I absolutely love the female lead's personality, the pacing is tight, and the ending addresses some of the mysteries in the story. It has both funny and touching moments—overall, I loved it! Highly recommend it! You'll regret not reading it!
I read it in one go; it was very engaging, and the story was truly unexpected.
At first, seeing the rating, I thought it wouldn't be good, but after clicking in, it was totally my cup of tea! We're both avid readers now, and we're all pretty tired of watching TV shows these days. Aside from the ghost story and the extras, it was all quite enjoyable. Because I finished this book, I followed the author and plan to read all his works. I'm currently experiencing a reading slump, so I'm planning to start a second reading.
A book you won't want to skip ahead in; it's great overall. I especially liked the parts where the protagonist is disguised as a man. It touches on national righteousness and brotherhood, and the main characters' emotions are portrayed with great subtlety. There's one part I'm curious about that I haven't written about: why did the male protagonist marry that woman in his previous life?
Objectively speaking, this book is really well-written and logically clear. The male and female leads have a mutually healing relationship. At first, I thought it was just a typical female-centric rebirth story, and seeing the female lead's humble two women serving one husband really angered me, making me want to drop the book. However, I can understand the female lead's thoughts.
This book is a cross-dressing novel. I actually read some reviews saying the male lead is reborn, and I wanted to read a story where the male lead pursues the female lead in a sweet romance. Although this book isn't exactly what I expected, I have to say the early chapters were really well-written. The male and female leads have very positive values and are quite intelligent.
My Chinese isn't great, and I can't speak in particularly cultured terms, but this book was definitely worth getting hooked on. I started reading this book after reading another one by the same author, "The Maidservant," because waiting for updates was too agonizing, so I read the author's other books. This one by Gu is really good.
