[Strong Female Lead + Household Intrigue + No System + No Rebirth or Transmigration]
Zhang Buwei is merely the daughter of a sixth-rank official in the capital. For a woman like her, with no family connections, power, or money, marriage and children are the only path life has to offer.
When word spreads through the palace of a selection of consorts, she thinks that if she can’t choose whether to marry, then gaining power would be a good alternative…
But at a crucial moment in the selection, someone abuses their position for personal gain and interferes.
From then on, Zhang Buwei’s fate changes.
She is fortunate enough to marry a good man and enter the Marquis’s household, but her unreasonable mother-in-law and servants make trouble for her.
Outside the household, an unreasonable titled lady is bent on having her killed.
Her own father does all he can to make life difficult for her, leaving her to bear the pain of losing her mother.
After she puts an end to all these troubles, she thinks she can settle into life as the Marchioness and enjoy her remaining years. Then rebel forces enter the capital…
And she receives a letter of divorce…
This story is about how a vulnerable woman, trapped under the strictest feudal ethics, navigates those conventions and the law by playing them against human nature, including its ugliest side.
The oppression of women by social conventions and laws in this story is drawn from real historical conditions, with the Ming dynasty as a point of reference. This is traditional realism, not a world where people can be killed on a whim. Readers looking for implausible power fantasies should proceed with caution.
Writing this story is a learning experience for me, and I hope my readers can learn something useful from it too.
This book is not like Tomato's. It has detailed research and a broad vision. It is not a brainless novel, but it is very refreshing. It is realistic and comparable to a drama novel. It has been collected. PS. Fortunately, we are not ancient people. The Ming Dynasty really held our breath.
The author must have put a lot of effort into studying the etiquette and laws of ancient society before writing this article, because the article touches on too much content in this area. Although it seems a bit confusing, through reading, I also learned about the cruel oppression of the lower class people and women in ancient society. Whether it was natural disasters, wars, corruption and strife caused by party disputes in the court, all this chaos can even make people feel suffocated. I am very much looking forward to the subsequent updates. The author must not give up on the creation of this article. After all, it is rare to see such in-depth works on Tomato.
The writing is quite good. I finished reading it in one day. It's a double-cleansing novel, and it's not taught by my mother-in-law. It's all female-controlled. It can be said to be the heroine's personal show, which is very nice. The traffic of the book is not good, so I think it can be renamed. This name is too long and has commas. Maybe it would be better to just call Zhang Buwei.
It's so beautiful, the author's writing is very good, and the story is unconventional. I didn't click on the book title when I saw it before, but I opened it in one breath and it was a great pleasure. I have been a bookworm for decades and rarely write book reviews. Please help the author!
It's an interesting book, but very few people read it. I thought at least tens of thousands of people were reading it. It turned out that there were not enough readers. This book is quite good. I've been a bookworm for many years. Many books on Tomato can only pass the time with words. This one can make people calm down and read slowly. It's great. It would be better if the author could write more.
I first saw it on the recommendation on the home page. I read the introduction and it said there was a male protagonist, and I was a little confused whether to click it or not (I personally like novels without male protagonists). Who knew that I would get into it after reading it, and I have been reading it for several days in a row! The author's writing style is very good, the heroine's IQ is online, and the plot advancement is also very reasonable. There is no plot where you just open the golden finger just because you are the protagonist. 😘 It's so good to watch and I love to watch it.
I give this book full marks. The heroine is calm and smart, fighting her way through a suffocating environment. There is no space to travel without crossing. The author is thoughtful and thoughtful, and the writing process is based on a large amount of historical data. Thank you for your hard work!
It was too difficult for women in ancient times. Not only were the mothers-in-law and servants inside the house made things difficult for them, but the women outside also found trouble in everything. The most important thing was that feudal ethics and laws suppressed and persecuted them everywhere. This was even when the husbands were able to earn official titles and live a prosperous life. This shows how sad and tired poor women and noble ladies must be when they encounter unkind people. Feudal society cannibalized people and even more women. Reading too many stories can break the fantasy
It's super beautiful, the writing is ruthless, and there are hidden clues to foreshadow it. Only after reading many chapters and looking back will you find the author's deep meaning. The plot is not procrastinating and is meticulous, the characters' positions are clear and their actions are reasonable. The author made reference to ancient documents, and it can be seen that he spent a lot of time writing it. It just kept me up late at night, hahahahaha I kept wanting to watch it, it was so fascinating.
Although the writing background is set in ancient times, human nature is the same, so it looks very real, but the plot is also very ups and downs and very attractive. Come on, author! 👍👍👍
