First of all, I must say the author's writing is truly superb. I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to finish the story without it. Perhaps because of the subject matter, the female lead has absolutely no rights; she's abused by the male lead and scolded by her family, basically suffering constantly.
It's a good read; it captures the feeling of being powerless in ancient times... Later on, let's give the male lead some angst and lessen his chauvinistic tendencies!
This novel is brilliantly written, gripping, realistic, and unexaggerated. It tells the story of a girl who is kidnapped, tortured, and sold into a wealthy family as a servant and concubine. Disliked by the matriarch and mistreated by the mistress, she is forced to be weak to survive, and she can only grow slowly. The author handles this very well.
The tragedy of women in feudal society left me seething with anger. It was like searching for sweetness amidst shards of glass, a cruel and agonizing ordeal. I thought it was over, but it turns out there was no ending. Perhaps no ending is the best ending. I hope April gets better and better.
It's good. I just think the female lead is too weak and the male lead is too arrogant. I hope the ending is happy.
It's pretty good, I just hope the updates come out faster, otherwise I'll forget the plot after a while.
The writing is good, not childish, I like it 😍
I really like it. The female lead is kind, patient, and pursues a free life. The male lead is a person with a strict hierarchical system in the early stages. He thinks that the female lead can only depend on him and uses various overt and covert means to "tame" her. However, he gradually understands the importance of the female lead to him in the process. He should change his views later. Minor flaws: There is a missing chapter, a messed-up chapter, and incorrect names in some chapters.
It's a great show, even though many people think the male and female leads have too many flaws. I can still relate to it, and I hope there will be more sweet moments later on. I hope the male lead can truly learn to respect the female lead, and the female lead can open her heart to him more.
It's quite beautiful. The gentle and serene April, the April yearning for freedom and sincerity, is truly touching. Author, the updates are too slow, please keep it up! 💪
