While reading, I noticed many people were particularly harsh on the female lead, as if every "female lead" must be perfect. Any "flaw" she showed was met with harsh criticism, labeled as "completely devoid of any redeeming qualities." I think the female lead in this story is incredibly realistic and down-to-earth.
It's relatable and realistic. The male and female leads are pretty much representatives of the general public of that era, but they're a bit more outstanding. You need to calm down and watch it carefully. If you're looking for a quick thrill and like fast-paced sweet romance novels, I wouldn't recommend it.
I'd give this a 4.5-Star rating. Aside from a few typos and omissions, the author's writing style is simple and natural, and the flow is quite smooth, perfectly matching my ideal style for period dramas. Seeing the comments criticizing the female lead's moral flaws seems unnecessary.
It's alright, not over-the-top, and the main character doesn't have any special abilities. The female lead may have had some minor personality flaws at the beginning, but her relationship with the male lead gradually improved. However, the male lead's family was too well-off... He bought a quilt for 25 yuan while his monthly salary was only 30 yuan. Although the male lead's family was rich, such extravagance was still a bit ostentatious in that era.
It's really good. I admire the female lead; she's always self-reliant in both her first and second lives. 😘 As for what others say about her being selfish, I don't see it that way. That's how we women should live—for ourselves, not for others. 👍 The story is well told, and the male lead is a very good person. From the synopsis, I thought he would be a fussy and unpleasant person, but he is actually a very good one.
It's really good! The male lead is sarcastic but treats the female lead very well. It's incredibly touching towards the end. They're a match made in heaven. Don't overthink it, everyone should go watch it! 🥰🥰🥰
At first, I was quite worried when I saw the low rating, but the author really wrote it well—the writing style is excellent, the characters are well-developed, and the content is great. It doesn't have that melodramatic, messy feel; it's just a natural progression, a feeling that life is just going on at its own pace.
This story features a refined young woman amidst a sea of historical fiction. Some historical fiction features domineering women, others delicate and alluring men and women, and still others the same old gossip-loving, money-grubbing women. This story is refreshingly beautiful 👍. Whether it's the grandmother's life or the family's changes, everyone's fate feels very much rooted in the era.
The female protagonist is reborn and gets involved. She meets the male protagonist earlier and they have a daughter. The male protagonist changes the ending where he drowns. There is a slight angst when he wakes up and only remembers his past life but not his daughter. Overall, it is a plain and mundane story, not a wish-fulfillment novel.
It's quite good, very realistic. The male and female leads are really great; the more you watch, the more you like them, especially when the male lead regains his memories of his past life—their characters become even more compelling. At the beginning, some people said the female lead was bad, but after she regains her memories of her past life, they realized she wasn't wrong.
