I'm Out of Things to Read. Tired of the Same Old Stories and Predictable Plots
I want a story about a transmigrated villainess changing her life, with a fresh plot, rich character relationships, goofy personalities, and strong values. It should include Douyin memes, and be written by an author who's always up to date with the latest trends.

I want a heroine who's not lovesick, focuses on managing the household and outmaneuvering her rivals, doesn't rely on men, doesn't let herself be wronged, and isn't a pushover. Both the heroine and the villains should think things through carefully, and the villains shouldn't suddenly become stupid just to help the plot.

It's very good, I like it very much, and I hope to continue watching.
The author writes very well, the characters are nuanced, and the plot reflects a normal person's life. Her husband also loves her; it seems he made some kind of agreement with a powerful figure, but it's unclear why he doesn't touch women. The Seventh Prince has been good to her in both her past and present lives, but ultimately, the emperor couldn't give her the life she wanted.
Finally, I understand a bit more. Before her marriage, the female lead was chosen by the Seventh Prince without her knowledge, but for some reason, he didn't actively marry her, instead marrying a princess with military power. A powerful eunuch named Yao, who wanted to curry favor with the new emperor, used the female lead as a bargaining chip.
It's good! And it's not some fancy, fabricated story; I'd recommend it.
Please update soon! I really want to understand why her husband did this. I can tell he loves the female lead, not Aunt Bai. The child was born out of necessity, and his inability to share a room with the female lead was also out of necessity. Actually, I prefer the Seventh Prince as the male lead, not for any other reason than for that little bit of physical intimacy 🤦.
Sun's betrayal of the female lead for profit was so captivating! The plot was intricate and suspenseful, making it increasingly addictive! It wasn't dragging at all, a great book! The scene where Pei and the female lead wore masks while strolling through the temple fair was the most touching. As for the third one, he was utterly wicked!
This book is quite good; take your time reading it! It doesn't have a high score because some readers are impatient and haven't savored it carefully, or perhaps they don't find it relatable. I've been following six or seven serialized novels, and now there are only one or two left. I'm watching this one closely every day, not missing a single chapter. It's been on hiatus for the past few days! I'll check back every day.
The author is incredibly talented, with excellent writing skills and wit. The three male characters are all very well-developed, complex, and engaging. I currently prefer the Prince of Qi, but unfortunately, he's not the male lead, nor does he deserve to be. 💕 The female lead's character is rather weak, somewhat like a camera-perspective story, and the plot is constantly being pushed along.
I've read many stories about rebirth and revenge, but this one is unique in its twists and turns, focusing not on the process but on the human nature. The revenge is exhilarating; Sun is neither the enemy nor the King of Qi. Each layer reveals another, a mask of truth and falsehood. And, as foreshadowed, there are unexpected twists.
Just as everyone has different tastes when it comes to food, opinions vary. From my perspective, after reading so many books over the years, the fact that I've been able to follow a serialized story and read only two or three chapters a day speaks volumes about the author's skill!
