Splendor in Silk

It's not a fictional story; it's based on the history of the Republic of China, which is quite different from warlord stories. The female lead is a young lady who returns to seek revenge, taking each step very carefully while everyone is scheming against her. Surprisingly, the male lead's character is quite endearing; he's a master of saying one thing and meaning another.

The female lead is a ruthless character, meticulously planning every step, carrying a deep-seated blood feud. It's difficult for her to launch an attack alone, but what's remarkable is that she's neither weak nor subservient. The male lead's storyline isn't as extensive as the female lead's, but every appearance brings important information.

The female lead is very smart and always uses her abilities to defeat monsters. Her feigned weakness in the early stages is a calculated move. The sweetness level of their interactions is just right. The male lead is awesome; he's only weak towards the female lead. I really like it and finished it in one go! I even asked for an update.

The male characters appear at just the right frequency. Currently, there's one puppy-like type and one introverted type, both very adorable and sweet. It feels like playing an otome game. The male lead automatically identifies with Yi Yu from outside this world. The Yu family head reminds me of Gu Shiye. They're both so sweet!

Song Yunjin is a calm, self-controlled, and intelligent female lead who never acts on emotion. I really love her. The male lead is cute but aggressive, and also has a crazy side. He is only good to the female lead. I feel like I am playing a plot-driven female lead otome game. I'm hooked.

I finished it in one go, but it wasn't long enough. I really like Xie Qiao; he's a crazy guy, but he's so subservient to the female lead, acting like a green tea b*tch. Author, you've revised the story! But it's actually quite good; the plot is more suspenseful, and the female lead's actions unfold step by step, with a backup plan after each move.

Four and a half stars. A good book worth reading repeatedly. It's not a young warlord novel, but a business war, about the national righteousness of ordinary people, and about living a life for oneself and others in a turbulent era. Every step the female lead takes is calculated, and every scene is foreshadowed. There are relatively few male leads, and while there are sweet moments, they are not many. Hence, four and a half stars.

It's well-written, but the part where the male lead calls the female lead "elder sister" at the beginning is a bit confusing and abrupt. I'm currently following it, and it doesn't seem to be a wish-fulfillment novel. If it were, I would enjoy it even more.

It's really good, I've been watching it. The last chapter brought tears to my eyes, thanks to Yu Chengfeng.

I came here because I was looking for something to read, and it's really good. I'll keep following it. I also like the plot; it's like watching a TV series.
