They don't fight over men. Their abilities extend beyond the narrow confines of their household. Palace and domestic battles always revolve around men, and whenever trouble arises, they think of relying on one man or another to solve it. They rely on themselves and take their fate into their own hands. They aren't lovesick or boy-crazy, and they live freely, making their own decisions.

The female lead's character is well-developed, and the comment section is quite pleasant. As the title suggests, I've finished reading chapter 49. I randomly picked up this book, but it read surprisingly smoothly. The writing is humorous and witty. I stayed up all night to finish it.
This story is absolutely amazing!!! I'm so lucky to have found it!!! Finally, it's not the typical story of an ordinary girl who's instantly smitten; the female lead has incredible charisma and completely masters dog-training skills! The characters in Chu Ci are fantastic, with stable cores and strong individuality.
The female lead has a great character design; she's very charming and seems to appeal to both men and women. A few points to avoid: ① The female lead isn't stunningly beautiful; she's of average appearance. However, the author describes her personality exceptionally well, so you won't really notice her looks while reading.
No romantic pairing in the ending. Super good! This is the most charismatic female lead I've ever seen. She's rational, realistic, and incredibly cool. I love her so much! The author's writing is superb; the plot is grounded in reality, and many characters and events are very realistic, things that could easily happen in real life.
It's really interesting!!! Some parts of the dialogue are so funny, it's hilarious, super witty, and has a subtle human-machine feel to it. It feels like the author has personally experienced the miserable life of a teacher (lights a cigarette). The female lead clearly has a very strong personal charm! The more I watch, the more addicted I become!!
It's truly a wonderful read. It's the first book I've ever read where the female protagonist's appearance isn't described at all, yet the author captures her personal charm and her powerful inner strength. Everyone around her is drawn to her inner qualities. There are many thought-provoking passages throughout the novel. Overall, it's an excellent novel!
Chu Ci has a subtle, gentle feel, like a babbling brook flowing quietly in the mountains, full of spirit yet gentle in its strength. The humorous elements are also very well-placed, never making the reader uncomfortable. The author's occasional glimpses of his own viewpoint are also kept within a suitable range, unlike some works that present overly sharp opinions.
The book features a remarkably stable female protagonist. While it touches upon various aspects of male-female relationships and status, Chu Ci handles them all with remarkable skill. It feels like the book isn't just a record of Xie Miaomiao's daily life, but also a coming-of-age story. It shows that the world doesn't revolve around anyone, and that one doesn't need anyone to survive.
It's really good! I initially thought the review that "the first half is all about the female lead's best friend" was a bit off-putting, but after reading it, I don't think that's true. Those girls Xie Miaomiao found were just crude imitations of the female lead (I'm not sure if that's the right way to put it). Anyway, the female lead is really charming, I can't quite put my finger on it.
The female lead's core is truly stable. At first glance, she keeps emphasizing how ordinary she is, but the more you watch, the more you understand her steadfastness. This ability to remain calm even when faced with major crises can truly become an anchor for anyone who is adrift and lost, because you know she will always be there for you on your path.
