The female lead is focused on her career and isn't a naive or innocent character. The writing style is also quite fast-paced, and there aren't any drawn-out romantic entanglements, which is great. I'm currently following the story, and I hope the author keeps updating! I'll leave another review after reading more. I think it's really good!
The female protagonist has a clear understanding of the present, is rational and intelligent, and can adapt to changing circumstances. She does not belittle the wisdom of the ancients, nor does she have the arrogance of a time traveler. She is quite logical, like a painting that slowly unfolds, making the reading experience captivating.
The female protagonist is well-developed; she is polite, not blindly arrogant, and unlike many protagonists, she doesn't immediately try to achieve great things and serve her country. Instead, she gradually changes herself by receiving kindness from others while striving for her own life.
The author's writing is quite good; I read the whole book without skipping any chapters and finished it in one go. Author, please keep updating! This score is really low; keep it up! I'm giving it 5 stars.
A very novel setting. The female lead is very strong. From her mental development, it's clear that she hasn't been deified. I'm really looking forward to the day when she becomes second only to the emperor. It's definitely worth reading. Keep up the good work, author!
This is a hidden gem of a book! Go check it out while it's still relatively unpopular! The author clearly has solid writing skills, and the plot and storyline are excellent. It's a female-disguised-as-male story with no romantic pairing—a true female-centric tale.
The female lead is amazing; she has both strategy and martial arts skills. I believe she will be able to break free from the predicament of being controlled solely by powerful families and create a world that belongs to her and the people!
Not enough! Not enough at all!!! This novel is incredibly well-written, with many parts closely resembling historical fiction. There's no half-baked or haphazard writing; it's clear the author consulted numerous sources. Even reading three chapters a day isn't enough! There are a few typos, though; I hope you can proofread it before posting. 😘😘😘 The author updates very frequently, and today they even released four chapters! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 I love the author so much!
Great! At the beginning, when the supporting characters' appearances were described, it felt like there was going to be some romantic tension, but the author listened to the readers' suggestions and let the female lead be her own female lead, and the supporting characters be their own supporting characters. The female lead focuses solely on her career, and the way she gradually builds her own network and power is so cool!! Definitely five stars! I hope the ending isn't rushed. 🤭
A fantastic work. The female lead is intelligent, decisive, and not overly idealistic. She can assess situations and seize opportunities, remains calm and rational without being obsessed with romance, dares to use people and also cultivates them, and maintains her original aspirations and dedication to the people even in a high position—a truly admirable character.
