[Two strong female leads + both leads’ first + disguised as men + multiple rebirths + chiefly political power struggles + little romance for the protagonists]
In her previous life, to put the emperor at ease, the entire Yan family pretended to be wastrels. In the end, the emperor still failed to protect the realm, and every loyal member of the Yan family died without their bodies intact.
After Yan Yunmu died, her grave was dug up and her corpse whipped, bringing shame upon the master she revered most and turning her entire family into a laughingstock in the immortal realm.
After death, she returned to the Celestial Court and recovered her memories as a god. Though she had successfully completed her trial, she still chose to be reborn with her divine powers intact. To change the ending in which her grave was desecrated and her family became a laughingstock, she planned carefully at every step, working to give the people a better life. She decided to seize the realm, but faced obstacle after obstacle.
Yan Manzhi was a junior officer, a hundred-household commander, who disguised herself as a man under the name Yan Han.
In her previous life, she refused the princess’s forced marriage, unwilling to draw the Duke’s household into her schemes.
This time, she chose not to take the difficult path and “reluctantly” agreed to the emperor’s arranged marriage between her and the princess.
In this life, she tried to restore her kingdom by simpler means.
One dealt with threats beyond the borders, while the other secured the realm at home. Their goals were different, but they arrived at the same destination.
This book focuses heavily on political intrigue and has little romance.
I first became interested in the author because of her book "Dare Not Fall in Love with You." Her skillful depiction of the characters' internal struggles captivated me, making me feel Yan Mu's joy and anger. I laughed and cried countless times during that time.
This book has very little romance; it's not a wish-fulfillment story, it features multiple reincarnations, and there are no idiots. As for those who say they hate the female lead, that's not true. The villains are both male and female, and their choices are simply driven by human nature. Take Xiao Zhuangyuan, for example.
It's incredibly good, both funny and tear-jerking. Every character is vividly portrayed, even Mu Mu transformed into a daisy, which I found adorable – the description was so lifelike, it brought the imagery to life! Mu Mu is a compassionate god, but unlike other great gods I've read about, she sacrifices a lot, yet it's not indiscriminate.
I never expected it to be by the same author as a book I read before! No wonder the writing style is so similar, and they're both just as heart-wrenching 🥺🥺 But, the author's writing is as good as ever 😘😘
It's good, but I feel the author should add a "double virginity" trope. From what I've read so far, the female lead and the top-ranking scholar-prince in her past life didn't interfere with each other, and she remained a virgin until her death. However, without this tag, it's hard to attract readers who prefer "double virginity."
Anyway, let me give you a rating first. I'm so immersed in their story, I'm completely captivated by their world! The author's writing really draws me in! I want to keep reading their stories forever! 😢😢😢😢😢
Why is there no book review for something so good?
It's great! This is the author's third book. I've been saving up for a long time before finally getting around to reading it. I hope the series continues uninterrupted; please, please don't stop updating!
It's seriously so good!!! Author, keep it up and don't stop updating! 🥺 It'll probably be a happy ending, right? 🥺 Author @FanziDouhua
It's really good, I hope you keep writing.
