This is a classic reborn story without a golden finger. Although the heroine knows she has transmigrated into a book, she doesn’t know its contents, so she has to rely on her wits to solve every problem. The male lead initially seems driven by revenge and gratitude, but later turns into an obsessive, love-struck schemer who competes, fights for her, and manipulates events. Also, there are no clearly designated first or second leads of either gender. The story has a broad ensemble cast, using small details to reveal the bigger picture.
If you enjoy stories that move from household intrigue to political machinations, emotional push and pull, and a steady stream of smaller-boss showdowns, settle in and take your time. The plot unfolds gradually.
Characters: Wei Zhengjun, cautious on the surface and shrewd underneath; Lian Chengxuan, a vengeful, love-struck knight and inventor; Liu Chi, the radiant Crown Prince who is everyone’s ideal; Liu Huan, the antagonist throughout; Liu Shi, the Third Prince, charming and blessed with every advantage; Wei Jin, a seemingly mediocre and timid governor with more to him than meets the eye; Chancellor Fu and Commissioner of Agriculture Cui, who collude with merchants; and the two-faced Empress Dowager and Empress.
The character of Zhengjun has had a hard time since the beginning, from modern times to ancient times, so that she was in a very depressed state in the early stage and lacked enthusiasm for many things. However, as the male protagonist healed her little by little, she gradually found herself in the process of getting along with him. Therefore, this is not a pure revenge novel, but focuses on the process of cultivating one's own soul. In addition, the cheats mentioned in this article are basically limited to the memory segments in the past life. However, according to most books, the heroine does not remember much, so the cheats sometimes fail. Regarding the fact that the two male protagonists look the same but have different personalities, this is to pave the way for the follow-up. Please be patient and follow the updates, and you will see the follow-up results.
[Laughs][Laughs] It's exciting at the beginning, but the heroine has been suppressed all the time. The pace of the plot is very fast, and the author stops updating every time when I am in the middle of watching it. I really want to read the rest of the plot quickly.
