It's great! The last female business tycoon I admired was Xia Xiaolan, and now I'm adding Zhou Chuyu to the list. Both are ambitious women who rise from humble beginnings, but unlike other period dramas where characters suddenly become rich overnight, this one truly captures the hardship of the female lead. The author's descriptions of prices also feel incredibly accurate for that era. Overall, it's a fantastic read! It has everything: revenge against villains and wealth accumulation! 👍👍
A fellow reader commented that this book, among Xia Xiaolan's type of novels, features Chu Yu as a female protagonist who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xia Xiaolan, and that's how I got hooked. And indeed, it's quite good; I recommend it. Why is the rating so low? Who gave it this score? In my opinion, it should be at least 9.3.
Overall, it's pretty good, but the male lead is a bit too slick. He's always so eager to see the female lead, and she seems to be attracted to him too. 🤦 I think the most peculiar character here is the male lead's mother. Where did this naive and innocent girl come from? The nanny has been stealing her lipstick, clothes, and jewelry for years, and she hasn't noticed at all.
This is the best book I've ever read out of over a thousand books. It has content and a plot that makes you want to keep reading. I'm always hoping the author will update it soon. If you enjoy reading novels, you should definitely check this one out.
A very good novel, very exciting. I hope the female lead gets into a good university and slaps that heartless father, the sexist grandmother, and that despicable uncle's family in the face.
Very good. The female lead has a great personality, and the male lead is witty and humorous. The characters are great, and the plot is good too. 👍
It's good. I hope the female lead becomes stronger soon, and that the scumbag finds out the mother and daughter's true identities as soon as possible, leaving the scumbag guy dumbfounded.
It's so good, it's a pity I didn't see it when it was finished.
Keep up the good work, new author! The female lead was a rich and beautiful woman in her past life; the author could make her skills more advanced for a more engaging story. Looking forward to her triumphant return!
I read it all without missing a single chapter. Watching Chu Yu build her career step by step from rural Deyang to Beijing, Hong Kong, and the world was truly moving. Every character was well-developed and had their own unique traits. The only slight regret was that everyone else had partners except for Boss Yu, who was all alone. Love really is about first come, first served!
