So far, it's good. The plot is not cliché. Seeing the female lead repeatedly prove hopeless, exploited by her entire family, and then sold as a concubine to a man surnamed Meng, yet still being kissed and given money when asked for it, showing no resentment whatsoever, I disliked her. It gave me breast hyperplasia.
I haven't read such a good book in a long time! The writing is relatable and logical, the story is fresh and original, it's truly captivating. I devoured over 50 chapters in one go and couldn't put it down. I never read serialized books, but this one is so good I couldn't bear to put it down! Highly recommended, anyone who reads this shouldn't miss it.
Both the male and female leads are strong. The characters are portrayed very clearly. Although the man is considered bad, he has his bottom line. Although the woman is strong, she also has her own vulnerabilities. Strong people can't always support each other. Only when one is strong and the other is weak can the two stay together for a long time.
It's very well written. I really enjoyed how hard the female lead worked to open her shop. However, it's not a wish-fulfillment story. The female lead helped her sister-in-law's child who was blackmailing her. The whole family was really awful. The male lead is also very realistic. He also wavered between the female lead and his future.
The novel's rating is low, but even the worst one should be 9.3. The author put a lot of effort into it. The male and female protagonists are truly remarkable; they manage to cross social classes, rising from merchants to officials, and from maids to officials' wives—they truly achieve it step by step through hard work. The portrayal of family, love, and friendship is very realistic.
This is a rather unique story about a maid rising to power. The female lead is very independent and assertive, bold yet meticulous, striving to become stronger. The male lead overcomes various forms of oppression, works hard to become stronger, and is gradually attracted to and falls deeply in love with her. They grow together, but the ending feels too rushed, which is a real shame.
The novel is well-written and the story is captivating. The ending of Prince Yan and Xing'er is truly heartbreaking.
The writing is excellent and flows smoothly. The plot is grounded, logically sound, and I feel the characters are so charming that they seem to have been given a soul. It's worthy of being adapted into a super-drama. (The author is unresponsive and only focuses on the author.)
This novel is truly captivating. The author is very insightful, creating a unique and evocative atmosphere unlike anything I've read before. It's not just another formulaic fabrication; it portrays human nature very realistically. It could be adapted into a TV series—it's fresh, engaging, and worth watching. Not bad, it's acceptable.
It's a good watch. The female lead's efforts pay off, but to be honest, if it weren't for the male lead's background help, many parts would feel like they would have died. Her occasional behavior doesn't seem like that of a maid in a wealthy family. Maybe we've imagined maids in wealthy families to be too omnipotent. I don't know. Anyway, the plot is pretty good.
