This is very well written. This is the female protagonist's third rebirth, which fully proves that what is reborn is the person, not the brain or the heart. Throughout the story, she remains as kind as ever, instinctively saving people in times of crisis. She is also very intelligent.
It's a good show; both the female lead and the Seventh Prince's wife are excellent. It's just that the Seventh Prince is quite an eyesore.
Five stars, definitely worth reading. I followed the series all the way to the final chapters and epilogue. The female lead and the princess have a superior-subordinate relationship, with the prince being just a tool. In other words, it's the female lead's story of advancement, from a concubine to the Empress Dowager through scheming.
I don't understand why the rating isn't high; I thought it was really excellent. Unlike other palace dramas, I absolutely loved watching the mutual trust between her and the princess, and the storyline of the three of them growing together.
It's a good watch. The female lead stays true to herself, understands her place, and utilizes all available resources to ultimately reach the top, resulting in a happy ending. The male lead isn't portrayed as a foolish man who dotes on only one person. What era is this? How could someone wanting the throne possibly have exclusive affection for only one person?
This book is really good. Although the female protagonist is reborn and transmigrated, she's down-to-earth and doesn't have any so-called "golden finger" or the kind of character who wants everything. She's a normal matriarch, no longer one of those characters with questionable intelligence.
It's super good! The female lead is smart and gentle. Because she traveled from the modern era, she retains her original heart and has strong opinions about people and things. She won't just watch someone die because she has a conflict with them, nor will she ignore a child who gets in her way. It's really super good! 💕💕💕 She's an incredibly gentle person. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's really good. It treats the inner quarters like a workplace, with the prince and princess as the CEO and vice president, and above them are the chairman of the board and his mistress, as well as all the gossipy relatives. The characters are all very well-developed.
Overall, I quite liked it. It's rare to see a princess and concubine who aren't bad people. The female lead and the princess always had a good relationship, and she didn't end up becoming empress or empress dowager. Although some plot points were a bit far-fetched, and the prince was also a man.
I finished reading it in one go. Let me first talk about the settings that I personally remember but some friends may not like: "a transmigrated woman who plagiarizes literature" and "two women who plunder the luck system". Personally, I quite like this kind of feeling. The female lead has clear goals and self-awareness.
