Let me rewrite it. This is another very different kind of time-traveling prince and concubine novel. These kinds of concubine novels either face reality and choose to lie low, raising children, or they clearly define their goals and choose to engage in a power struggle. But this one is quite different.
It's a great show. I really want to see the scenes where the male lead gets tricked. I hope Lu Wan and her husband have a happy ending, and that the female lead can go home. It's fine if the male lead lives a lonely life; even death is acceptable. I reread this article much later, several months after my high school entrance exam, after another semester of aimless drifting.
It's a great watch, don't miss it! The female lead is dressed in ancient times and gets caught up in a love-hate entanglement involving a treacherous villain who steals another man's wife and murders his husband. In the end, she escapes the villain's trap with the other woman. The beginning is a bit awkward, but if you persevere, it's really good.
The novel, whose title doesn't do it justice, has no tangled misunderstandings or complicated emotions, only an indomitable and free spirit. The female protagonist is like a green deer in a mountain stream, agile and intelligent. What's most admirable is the sworn sisterhood between the female protagonist and Lu, their hearts beating as one.
The author's portrayal of the female lead is fantastic. I devoured the latest chapter in one go and hope she can return to the modern world in the end. In my opinion, whether the male lead loves the female lead or treats her well is a self-serving expression of feudal patriarchal power, and such pampering is certainly altruistic, not necessarily for the female lead.
So far, it's well-written. Finally, it's not the cliché "since I'm here, I'll just accept it" kind of story. The rigid hierarchy of ancient times versus the freedom of modern life—it's obvious which is better. I can't understand how a modern person who transmigrates to ancient times could so readily become a concubine and share a man with someone else.
The male lead probably liked the female lead, but the ending made him increasingly despicable. The writing was excellent, with no unnecessary words, making it a very enjoyable read. However, personally, I wished the male lead had remained pure throughout the story and returned to the modern world with the female lead in the end. I felt a bit empty after finishing it.
I misunderstood the novel's title before. The author's writing is superb, and the protagonists are vividly portrayed—one ruthless and vicious, the other lively and natural. The novel's world mirrors the author's own experiences; it's a very good read.
This novel shouldn't have this rating; it should be higher. Aside from being a bit short, it's quite good. These days, most time-travel novels involve soul-travel, so the body-travel aspect is rare and refreshing. The female lead's personality is also great; she embodies the characteristics of contemporary young people—not awkward or stubborn, facing difficulties without internal conflict, always…
Chapter 37 is quite good. There are a few minor issues, but overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits; it's pretty good. I've been a bookworm for 10 years, so my tastes are quite discerning, but this one is definitely worth reading. Tomato Novels usually gives eight out of ten books bad reviews, so I'll give this one a good one 🤔. However, I do hope the male and female leads don't end up together. If they do, I'll have to come back and change my review. [Think about it]
