I Don’t Understand!!! I Want Female-Protagonist-Centered Stories Where the Heroine Never Suffers the Slightest Grievance
Why are there none at all! Why are female-oriented novels all about "it's satisfying to torment the wife for a while, and even more satisfying to torment her forever" these days? Are novels where the woman is strong and the man is submissive really that hard to find? Does the heroine have to be brutally mistreated and still stay in love and act like a lovesick puppy? Desperately looking for stories where the man is devoted and chases after the woman.

The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.

Super good, a really satisfying read! Every time I see the female lead ruthlessly taking down the bad guys, I feel an indescribable sense of exhilaration. The male lead, her brother-in-law, the emperor, and the crown prince are all great. The female lead is an assassin and an orphan; she doesn't understand love, affection, or the meaning of life because, to her, life is just a number.
This book is also very good. It's a super satisfying novel. The female lead is capable and resourceful. Although she was forced into marriage at the beginning, the male lead is really handsome after his face is healed. The female lead single-handedly handles all those awful characters perfectly, which is incredibly satisfying. The more you read, the more enjoyable it becomes.
The female lead provided both laughs and tears! It's a very good book. The female lead gradually grows from a killing machine into a thoughtful person. Ji Yiqing gives her wholehearted love, Ji Mianchao gives her the care, tolerance, and trust of family, and the Emperor gives her fatherly love!
Excellent, this is what a time-traveling assassin should do: kill when necessary, without hesitation, and seize control of the household right from the start—so satisfying! Those stories that claim to be about time-traveling assassins but are all about dragging things out and endless family squabbles are infuriating. I always say those are just a bait-and-switch tactic; you can only read the beginning of those. An assassin should act like an assassin.
It's a good show. The female lead is a top-tier assassin; you can kill anyone who upsets her, but she's also incredibly easy to please. Just praise her, praise her relentlessly, and she'll be overjoyed. The male lead is a bit of a crybaby, but he works tirelessly to clean up the mess left by September. The biggest villain, so funny! I thought he'd at least survive, but he appeared late and died pretty early. 😂😂😂 It's definitely worth watching.
A hilarious and heartwarming read! The female lead is so cool and sassy! ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧ Although she's initially clueless about love and social niceties because she's an assassin, she gradually changes, learns, and adapts to a life of being loved. She's a tough character; if she can beat you up, she won't give you a chance to complain; if she can kill you, she won't let you live a second longer.
It's a great show with lots of laughs, especially the scene where the male lead's family frantically digs a hole to bury a corpse—it's hilarious! The plot is relatively lighthearted, and the final big boss is the kind who dies after only a few words.
Strictly speaking, this book is hampered by its title. It tells the story of September, a killing machine trained by a ruthless, inhuman, and cruelly humiliating assassin organization, who transforms into a September with a strong sense of national duty, love, and compassion, and whose heart is filled with warmth.
It's quite good, but it doesn't seem to be very popular. I really like the supporting characters in the book: the emperor's favoritism and guidance towards Jiu Yue, the crown prince's doting on Jiu Yue like a younger sister, the male lead and his family's protection of Jiu Yue and their constant attention to clear away any potential troubles for her, and the good steward Shao Qing's foresight and…
Super good! (Not recommended for those with a low threshold for laughter in a large group, as you might get caught in the crossfire.) I love September's personality. Thankfully, she "came back," and she has the love of her family. Some scenes are truly hilarious, like when the family is forced to study and become officials.
