Reborn as the Villain, I Flirt the Protagonist into Madness!

I absolutely love the love between A-Ling and Xiao-Lu. It's not the kind of love that develops quickly and involves giving your heart away easily, but rather a love that grows over time, a gentle and delicate love that flows like a slow and steady stream. I wasn't interested in the main plot and political intrigue at first, so I just skimmed through it and focused on their interactions.

It's seriously, seriously, seriously, seriously good! At first, I thought it might be a bit too politically charged because there was so little romance. I even considered giving up on it. But I kept reading because I liked the synopsis, and it really got better and better as I read on. The romance in the later parts is incredibly compelling.

Lu Ling 99! ♡⊂!! The career plot of this book is really well written, and the romance is subtly woven throughout the entire book and feels very natural. Lingling came for Lu, and Lu lives for Lingling; they're a perfect match. Although the ending is happy, there's still a sense of regret.

I've thought and thought about how to rate this book. First of all, the author's writing is truly excellent; many parts feel incredibly immersive. There are so many lines that I could easily copy. Secondly, the book itself is genuinely funny at first, but then you gradually get drawn into the story through the humor.

It's so good! The author's writing is very smooth, and the emotional arc is natural and delicate. Although I didn't understand the political intrigue, it was still very well written! (?) The characters are also very well-developed, especially Ah Ling's struggle before the fall of her kingdom—it was incredibly powerful and moving, conveying a sense of powerlessness and despair. Thankfully, the two finally found each other; may their love last forever!!!

I haven't finished reading it yet, but I can't help but want to write a review! I think this story has more plot and less romance. Maybe it's because I've gotten tired of stories with lots of romance lately, so this one really suits my taste. Most importantly, the male leads are all intelligent. The author's writing is also excellent.

It's so rare to find such a good story 😭 The beginning was okay, but it got better and better as it went on. The author's logic is really excellent, with many foreshadowing elements that all came in handy. After reading about A-Ling's suicide, I was deeply moved and couldn't calm down for a long time.

This time, standing at the beginning of the story, we look towards their inevitable demise. Prince Qi, or rather Emperor Jiacheng, Ling Zhi; Ling Liuqing; Consort Dou; Princess Qi; Ling You… Yan Geng, Cui Xing, Tan Ping, Song Yang, Zhou Lin, Tang Ming… Ji Xiang, Feng Xu, Qing Xi, Shan Lan… Duke Pingchang, Lu Yuan; Lu Wenbai; Lady Wei; Lu Chaoyu; Lu Huiru…

It's truly exceptionally well-written. It's rare to see a protagonist on Tomato TV who is both arrogant and kind, yet intelligent. Ling Dangui's journey from barely surviving a second chance at life, to pitying and helping others, and finally sacrificing himself for his country out of concern for its people, is incredibly well-developed.

This is a very rare BL (Boys' Love) story to see on Rotten Tomatoes... It's not about being sad for the sake of being sad, but about the inevitable points that can't be changed. The sweetness level is also relatively suitable (personal preference). The two male leads don't have any weak points of conflict to argue about. The bottom isn't a heartthrob, and the top isn't universally loved.
