It's so good! The author's writing is excellent, and there aren't any ridiculously overpowered plot devices. Everyone wants to live like Ruizhu, but most people are like Qiuqi—it feels realistic. Superb! Why are so few people reading it? It's definitely a great book!
I love it! The plot is fast-paced and engaging. It's not about a superheroine who rises to great heights; it's about an ordinary person who, unable to change the environment in the face of changing times, adapts to it and makes themselves comfortable.
This novel is truly exceptionally well-written. In her first life, Qiu Qi, though rising from a maid to the wife of a military commander, tragically faces a situation where, despite the commander's initial infatuation, he succumbs to the inherent lust of men. Fortunately, as her beauty fades and love grows old, she severs ties with love, living a life of clarity.
This novel is truly excellent; I fell in love with this genre after reading it. Unfortunately, other novels featuring maids are all filled with scheming and backstabbing, with essentially the same plot. This one is rather simple and understated. The "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage) isn't particularly powerful, more like something dispensable. It's exceptionally, exceptionally good.
It's beautiful! We all want to be Ruizhu, but most people are like Qiuqi! Helpless, powerless, ambitious and idealistic, yet how many petty people succeed? Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I read it word for word. Touching, isn't it? Realistic, isn't it? Keep striving! And the writing is truly excellent.
Qiu Qi's story is so well-written; the ironic ending ironically provides a perfect conclusion. Living in that era, finding someone truly devoted and caring for you was incredibly difficult, one in a million. Given the prevailing mindset, could you really expect marriage to change anything? Therefore, the heroine's fate was almost inevitable.
It's so good! Finally, it's not a maidservant marrying a prince or a nobleman's son. The stories are all quite simple and unpretentious, including the later part about the husband taking concubines over the years—something unavoidable in ancient times. It's very objective, and you can see the heroine's inner turmoil and struggle. It's very educational!
The author's writing is quite good, realistic and unexaggerated, and it allows us to feel that women in that era could only rely on men, unlike life today.
Such a good book, how come it only got a 6.6 Rating? That's too low, it should have been at least a 9. It's very realistic; this is what our daily lives are like. To be honest, most ordinary people probably don't have such good luck. Moreover, it has very positive values, making it suitable for us to read. Please don't miss out just because of the low rating.
The logic is sound. Although only two stories are written, the content is ordinary yet realistic. The first story features a "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage), but its effect is minimal. It also incisively points out men's fickle nature. The male protagonist is Qiu Qi, and they were initially loving after marriage.
