Period Novels Where the Female Lead Doesn’t Bail Out Her Family, Have Lots of Children, Go to the Black Market, or Take Over Someone Else’s Mess
The male and female leads should come from well-matched families. The heroine shouldn't get married as soon as she transmigrates. She should have a harmonious family, but not be the family's darling. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

It's one of the best novels I've ever read on Tomato, with a very detailed portrayal of human nature. The female protagonist's early life was incredibly difficult. Her adoptive mother's love was accompanied by the pain brought by her adoptive father, and her path of striving through academic achievements was shattered in an instant.
This is the second book by this author that I've read. The first one, *Li Yan*, kept me up countless sleepless nights, and I even developed PTSD for a long time, to the point that I was hesitant to read any more of her books for a while because it was so realistic and heavy-hearted. This book, however, feels even more realistic and complex than the first.
I listened to over ten chapters. The plot was good, but there was one thing: the author really liked transitions, which I absolutely loved. However, every time, the transitions felt like they were too abrupt and clumsy, making them feel very awkward and chaotic. I listened to the first three chapters twice; the first time I didn't quite catch it, but the second time I realized it was the author's transitions.
The character is very strong-willed; once he's made up his mind, he won't look back! It started off well; the female lead had character, was self-reliant, and was loyal to her brothers. Now the character storylines are messy, and the character Amu just appeared out of nowhere, making it less interesting. I'm not following it anymore.
Why only 8.9 Points?! It's been so long since I've seen such a good story on Tomato! I love the female lead so much! A rating of 9.5 Or higher would be more reasonable! Now I understand why, despite the excellent writing and solid plot, it shouldn't have gotten an 8 or 9 rating. The female lead inexplicably ends up with Amu, a guy I only remember her helping a few times, like any random random character. I can't imagine what attracted her to him at all; it's all so inexplicable.
The book is good, but it's not a purely wish-fulfillment story. The protagonist's early struggles are particularly intense—so incredibly difficult. The kind of difficulty you feel—is one where you know the protagonist will have a bright future, yet you're still gripped by that uncertainty. Many characters are portrayed so realistically; these ordinary people aren't purely evil.
I quite liked it; it made me realize I need to use my brain more. It showed me a different kind of life. The greater the suffering the female lead endured, the higher her status became. So far, there's no romantic relationship between men and women. It features tropes like extended family entanglements, a real and a fake heiress, and a disastrous start for the female lead.
Well written! The author's writing is excellent. It's so tragic. Reading the latest chapter, I felt sorry for the female lead. She's so miserable and tired. It would be better if her biological father could just not find her, at least he could focus on his career. This mother can't hit her or scold her, it's so exhausting.
I came from the author's other novel, *The Unfavored Second Daughter in a Historical Fiction*! That novel was exceptionally good! I read it twice! The characters are vivid and individualistic! Their inner worlds are rich! Everyone is fleshed out! Even the supporting characters are well-developed! The conflicts in the story are reasonable! The logic is consistent!
The book is very good; I think 9.0 Is too low. Every character is vividly portrayed, each with their own personality and stance. It seems like no one is wrong, but when they come together, everything is wrong… The downside is that the characters are described in too much detail, and the female protagonist's career in the second half is not explored enough; the book is mostly filled with domestic…
