It's pretty good, the logic is sound, and there aren't any major flaws! But for some reason, I always feel inexplicably frustrated. The male lead seems particularly frustrated; he seems to do nothing but talk… Is it because he's blind and can't do much? By the way, I hope Jiang dies soon! 🤦
I thought it was a great read. The female lead remained clear-headed throughout, and the male lead doted on her. She won the affection of the male lead's family through her own efforts and talent. The older siblings were also very capable. There were no major plot holes.
It's a good read! 😄 Both characters are virgins, and the story is relatively short. The female lead is a maid, and the male lead is a blind prince. The prince's wife dislikes her husband because he is blind, so she treats the male lead badly and arranges for the female lead to take care of him. From then on, the female lead gradually wins the male lead's heart.
This is the kind of truly satisfying read I needed after all this frustration!!! Some plot points might be a little illogical, but it's so exhilarating!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
It's a great show, but the rating is too low; I wonder if it's been manipulated. The plot is fast-paced, and the logic is clear. The journey from maid to wife is truly difficult; she's vengeful and doesn't drag things out. Everyone should check it out if they're interested.
I've passed by this book many times, somewhat hesitant due to the subject matter and its low rating of 7.7. I assumed that starting as a lowly servant and climbing the ranks would involve immense suffering, making it mostly a distressing read. However, it was a pleasant surprise. Personally, I felt the balance between bitterness and sweetness in the story was excellent.
It was so satisfying to catch up to the latest episode all at once! I hope the author continues to write well and produce high-quality content. I also hope the prince's eyes recover completely soon, and I hope to see what he looks like when he's back to normal. I hope the prince and Qingzhi are happy and have a child of their own soon. And so many other hopes! 😘
This is a super smooth and engaging sweet romance novel about family feuds! The author's writing style is excellent, elegant yet natural, making it a very pleasant read. The female lead's subtle scheming is incredibly cute, and she and the male lead mutually redeem each other in a sweet story. The female lead grows step by step, relying mostly on her own efforts despite the male lead's support.
Excellent! Excellent! The book's narrative is well-paced, and the characters are vividly portrayed. The protagonist's struggles and growth are deeply moving, and the supporting characters also have their own compelling arcs. The storyline is ingeniously woven, and every choice the characters make in the vortex of fate is realistic and believable, giving the story a powerful and moving force.
Not bad, not bad. My thought after watching it is, "Like father, like son," or "Like mother, like daughter." 🌚🌚 I really liked the female lead's family storyline; it would have been even better if there had been more family-related storylines. The romance storyline was alright, though. The early parts were convoluted and complicated, which was a bit of a headache, but it became less prominent later on, so it was alright.
