I'm looking for books like "The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Has Lived to a Hundred". I've read all over the place, male-oriented and female-oriented fiction alike: palace intrigue, rebirth, cultivation, horror, comedy, CEO romances, detective stories, ghost hunting, the mortal and spirit realms, gods, golden fingers, you name it. I'm not into books that only obsess over romantic relationships. I love stories with a grand scope.

This book is quite interesting. The female lead being an assassin doesn't seem like it to me; it feels like there's a lot of humanity in ancient times. I think a 7.9 Rating is too low; I usually read books with ratings of 9 or higher. I only read this one because someone recommended it, saying it deserved at least a 9.
I read it in one go and felt like I wanted more. The author's writing style is very distinctive, humorous, vivid and interesting. Compared to most historical romance novels featuring palace intrigue, this one is indeed not very fast-paced. The beginning is a bit verbose, but the plot gradually gets to the point after the twists and turns.
This is a great book that's been overrated. The author has created lovable characters: the female lead is carefree and easygoing, the male lead has a cute, slightly spoiled vibe yet is also very righteous, and the friends are all honest, kind, and brave. Although the narrative is a bit disjointed, each section is light and enjoyable to read.
Not bad! The female lead's identity is a mystery; she disguises herself as a man and is skilled in both literature and martial arts! However, some plot points feel a bit contrived. For example, a sickly prince is always out alone, his near-divine wisdom leading him to be tricked so the female lead can save someone and the male lead will discover the miraculous effects of her blood.
This is a fantastic book. I don't understand why it has such a low rating. It starts off funny, but the plot develops rapidly afterwards, and the best part is actually the second half. Highly recommended. The female lead has a great sense of the big picture and a broad perspective. Definitely worth reading.
It's absolutely brilliant! The writing is superb, humorous and witty, the characters are vivid and distinct, the plot is full of twists and turns, and the scope is grand. It's about cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. First, one achieves personal success, and then one retires for the sake of world peace.
The overall story outline is well-developed, the plot is tight and the writing is smooth, and several plot holes have been filled. The values presented in the story are very positive, and the characters are well-defined. However, I personally feel that the plot was a bit melodramatic in the early stages, and the protagonist was given a bit too much power.
The author's writing is good, and the female lead's personality is natural and easygoing, without any awkwardness from her cross-dressing. The three brothers, Qin, Yang, and Pei, have a really good relationship; after learning about the female lead's background, they were even worried that Pei might become the second male lead, haha! Only the male lead would pamper the female lead, who eats meat and wontons with gusto, like a girl. 🤦
The female lead has a very cool and edgy personality, yet she's also skillful, intelligent, and witty—I really love this type of female lead. The whole story is witty and humorous, with almost every paragraph having a laugh. I especially loved the scene where they all gathered together to eat hot pot; the way they playfully fought over it was both lively and heartwarming.
It's pretty good. Maybe it's because I haven't read this kind of cross-dressing story before. I really recommend it. Plus, I really like the voice acting; it's a great match for the character. I don't know why the rating is so low.
