Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂
I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.

It's very well written. From the synopsis, I initially thought it would be another story about a son-in-law who's overly devoted to his wife, but after reading it, I must say: there's practically no simping. The male lead's genuine concern for the female lead only develops after she reciprocates his feelings; it's a mutual choice, unlike the typical son-in-law stories where the male lead…
This book is actually quite well-written; it's one of the few I could actually finish reading. Many people think the protagonist's marriage into a wealthy family is pathetic and his life is miserable. Maybe they think that a "power fantasy" story should have everything going smoothly. But really, what book doesn't have a pathetic part? It's just a process of growth for the characters.
It's very humorous; I laughed throughout the whole thing. It's a great watch.
I've almost caught up to the latest chapter, but it seems like not many people are reading it now. It's probably mainly because the updates are slow, especially these past few days, with only two chapters every few days. I initially thought the author was busy, but then I checked their profile and wow, they have two other books updating simultaneously! The author is truly amazing.
Judging from the current situation, his skill level is almost on par with that of a son-in-law! Moreover, it's faster-paced than "The Son-in-Law," making it very enjoyable to watch. Keep it up, author!
The details are well done, the characters are meticulously portrayed, and the plot is full of twists and turns. I was originally going to give it five stars, but the reason, author, you probably already know—this isn't just one person's lament; it's incurred widespread anger. Why? Of course, I'll continue reading; it's quite good. I'm being a bit rational.
It's well-written, with smooth logic and decent writing style. However, I suggest avoiding overly exaggerated psychological descriptions; it would make the plot feel more natural.
It's quite funny, especially the inner monologues; the actors are all veteran performers. I'm a little curious if the male lead will also win over the female lead's sister later on, since it's an ancient Chinese novel, and the female lead's sister has quite a few inner monologues. I'm just guessing she'll end up with the male lead too. 🍉
Unlike today's fast-paced, mindless novels that focus solely on the protagonist's love, this book's first few chapters might seem average, but if you put yourself in the protagonist's shoes, you'll find his actions and thoughts believable. However, things change after the male lead learns of the female lead's illness and returns home.
To put it simply, this is a good book, getting better and better as it goes on. Unfortunately, the beginning is a bit frustrating, which deterred many newcomers. I give it nine points, leaving one point in case you abandon it.
