Never mind... I love this book... I think this theme is perfect for writing fanfiction... It's so damn exciting 🤭
It's really good! Could you make He Zhishan more jealous, and also make the other young masters of the He family fall in love with the female lead? If possible, a harem would be great too!
This is the first time I've seen a female lead who's so unique and scheming. She doesn't hide her ambition, lives with a clear head, and is obsessed with making money. She doesn't even conceal her selfishness and vanity. She openly admits to being a bad woman, neither stealing nor robbing. It's quite interesting. I'm urging for more updates!
I've been reading this novel throughout the lectures, from the first few chapters to the current 106. Author, please, please give the female lead a harem!!! (Mainly He Da and He Er) Please! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺🥺🥺🥺 Even a side story for He Da would be great! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕
I'm inexplicably hooked! There are so few books like Tomato's! 😘😘😘 The male and female leads are such a perfect match, just my type! The male leads in the novels I've read before weren't very well-developed, but this one is amazing! The male lead is totally my cup of tea… With so much writing from the author, the rating is sure to be high!! The author could polish their writing style and detail a bit more! ⊙∀⊙! ٩(●´৺`●)૭٩(●´৺`●)و
Wow, this is so good! The tension between the male and female leads is so exciting! Keep it up! ❤️
It's so good! The author says it's a bit like a classic version of Pride and Prejudice. The female lead appears to be climbing the social ladder, but deep down she's just a naive girl who's kind to whoever treats her well. She doesn't want the male lead to see through everything; her little schemes are impossible to hide, and she definitely wants to keep him in check—that's a touch of Pride.
It's so good! I really like the female lead's personality—she's outstanding, does what she wants, and lives for herself. Why think so much? Just do what you're supposed to do.
The male lead is compelling, not a stereotypical character; he's cunning, manic, and possessive, with a sharp mind and a strong sense of self-control, creating a striking contrast. The female lead is a seductive beauty, not a naive and innocent type; she's greedy, vain, and aware of her lowly status.
This is the first time I've seen a female lead with this kind of character! The male lead is so crazy yet so incredibly talented! I love him so much! I think the male and female leads are a match made in heaven. I finished reading it in one day and one night. The rating is a bit low, but I really enjoy watching the battle of wits between the male and female leads. I couldn't stop smiling like a doting aunt after finishing it. Ahhhhhh, I love this book!
