Don't spend a big chunk of the story on the protagonist's childhood, before age ten. Transmigration or rebirth is fine.

Author, keep it up! Hehehe, I'll write a long review after this story is finished. I wonder if you saw the long review for the Tyrant story, sob sob. I thought I was so clever back then, that I naturally thought of "The Twilight Deepens and the Sky Is Vast" while writing, and I even wanted you to praise me! 🥺🥺🥺 Although I don't know if I was right, hahaha.
Great book! The female lead is a career whiz, so resourceful and smart—it's so satisfying to read! I love her so much, hehe. But I'm also really looking forward to the "wife-chasing-after-the-incense-and-cremation" scene. It's truly a political intrigue story; it's captivating.
Jiang Chiying is very clever and loyal; Shangguan Jie has a kind heart; Lu Chenlin has also achieved a remarkable position as Grand Tutor.
It's a really good show! It's a female-centric story, and the female lead is both strong and tragic. She relies on herself the whole time; whenever someone tries to make things difficult for her, she solves the problem on her own. She's incredibly smart, and it's so satisfying to watch. It's not the kind of story where the female lead blindly caters to the male lead. The female lead should truly be herself!
The female lead, obsessed with revenge, and the male lead, who only occasionally makes cameo appearances, are just my type! 😏😏😏 I hope the author updates frequently; I absolutely love the female lead! 😘😘😘😘😘
This is super good! This is my favorite female lead. She's incredibly independent and thoughtful, never compromises, and doesn't rely on the male lead. She's truly amazing and has a strong sense of self. It's a perfect example of a powerful female lead story. I love her personality so much!!!
So beautiful!!! I hope the Grand Tutor and the Princess get what they want! 😘😘
The story is well-structured and logically connected. The female protagonist adheres to the principle of handling her own affairs independently, accepting help only when necessary and avoiding getting in the way when no one is available. She doesn't engage in ambiguous relationships or use her looks to curry favor, making for a truly enjoyable read.
These days, when you open any ancient romance novel, it's all about rebirth or time travel, which is really tiresome. I searched for a long time before finding this pure ancient romance novel, which is exactly the kind of love-hate relationship with a clear-headed, strong female lead that I've been looking for.
It's good. I really like the female lead.
