As the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister, Mei Maoxue had parents who carefully chose a marquis's heir for her, a man outstanding in both ability and appearance. But after marrying him, she discovered he had a cousin, and they had been childhood sweethearts!
Barely six months into the marriage, that cousin was elevated to the status of favored concubine and even caused Mei Maoxue to miscarry.
Her husband not only refused to avenge her and their child, but also protected his precious cousin.
If she couldn't get justice, then he couldn't blame her for fighting fire with fire.
After taking her revenge, she decisively divorced him. Who wanted to spend their life serving their in-laws anyway? Wasn't building a career much better?
From then on, she set out to develop the local economy. By a twist of fate, she even received a personal commendation from the emperor.
But when she returned to the capital, her former husband blocked her path. “A Xue, I've been waiting for you!”
Hah, did I ask you to wait?
Wen Rui: “Miss, I've been waiting for you too!”
I really like this female lead. She's vengeful and not a pushover. Her husband's concubine harmed her unborn child, and when the concubine protected her, she decisively forced the concubine to swallow a bowl of medicine to kill her, then divorced him and kicked him to the curb. She's smart; her family is powerful, so she used that power to suppress her husband's family and escape unscathed.
I didn't expect this book to be so good; once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. It was truly heartbreaking. The female lead is amazing—she's vengeful, brave, and resourceful. I love it!
I always felt uneasy after watching it. The female lead was murdered and could never be a mother again, yet she was so easily let go, while her ex-husband continued to live happily with his wives, concubines, and children.
The writing is excellent, and the inner thoughts and feelings are portrayed very well.
It's great! The female lead lives a very insightful life.
The author's writing is decent, with concise narration and tight logic. What makes it worthwhile to read is the heroine's personal charm. She always stays true to herself, never fighting or arguing. After taking revenge, she decisively withdraws without resentment or hatred. Her separation from her lover was partly due to her own inaction.
The female protagonist is clear-headed and knows what she wants. Every character in the book is well-developed, the story flows smoothly, and I finished it before I knew it. I rarely recommend books to others, and I seldom write book reviews, but this book is worth reading!
I really like the female lead's personality; she takes revenge when she has a grudge, but she also knows how to extricate herself from the situation to avoid getting involved.
It's a very good novel; the female lead is very decisive.
Not bad, no rebirth, no time travel, and not much palace intrigue, that's good.
