I love it! This is the second ancient romance novel I've read where the female lead truly avenges herself and personally kills the male lead, her enemy! The writing is a little weak, but the flaws don't detract from its overall quality. [OK] I love you, but you almost killed me, so I'll definitely make you pay with your life! 🤭 (And I don't understand, Sister Li.
2026.02.04 The ending is wonderful. Although he still loves her, the male lead has to repay the female lead's suffering with his life. It's truly fantastic, thank you so much for the story! 👍👍👍
I've read the same author's novel "The Imperial Concubine" before, and I really liked the premise of this one too, but I felt that the male lead wasn't tortured enough in that novel. I hope the author can add more scenes of torture for the male lead in this one!
This book is really good, but it's also very heart-wrenching. All the hurt the male lead caused the female lead was real, and all the pain the female lead felt was real too. But it's undeniable that they still love each other despite their contradictions.
It's really good. It doesn't whitewash past lives or anyone else, and the female lead doesn't soften her heart. There might be a slight regret that the male and female leads don't end up together, but it doesn't really affect the overall experience. It's truly a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story.
Many book reviews criticize the author for the female lead easily forgiving the male lead in his previous novel, "The Imperial Concubine." However, if you look closely, you'll find that the author actually includes quite a few scenes of tormenting the male lead, especially in terms of emotional and physical suffering, and these are portrayed very well.
I read this book after finishing Ningning's. I knew it was a bad ending before I started reading it, as I never read bad ending stories before. But Ningning's book was so well-written that I couldn't help but finish it. To be honest, the emperor was unforgivable. After his rebirth and awakening, he was able to stay by Ayu's side for nearly 10 years, which was really a bargain for him.
Demoting his wife to a concubine, Shen Peiyu's past life was truly pitiful and tragic, spending her days in the cold palace waiting for the male lead! Although the male lead didn't actually do those things, his arrogance and overconfidence, believing he could control everything, undoubtedly contributed to the female lead's death!
I've finished reading it. It's a tragic ending. Ayu in her first life was truly pitiful. Her father and mother didn't love her; her scumbag father and his mistress inexplicably branded her as the daughter of a traitorous official. Then, a once-promising crown princess was demoted to a concubine, bullied by everyone in the palace, and even her child, whom she had painstakingly given birth to, was…
That's right, hurt is hurt. In the end, the female protagonist did not forgive, but chose to live for herself.
