Not bad, it reflects a modern person. A different set of values! No one suffers in silence, no one puts up with anything; if you're not happy, just fight! Going back to that era, not only would you suffer, but you'd also be bullied—it would be worse than death! Take life and death lightly, fight if you're not happy!
When I read the synopsis, I didn't have high expectations for this book, thinking it would be constantly pulled in different directions! But after reading it, it was pretty good. The way the author chases after Sha Zhu and beats him up whenever he gets a legitimate reason, until Sha Zhu is terrified, until everyone in the yard is weak in the knees and trembling with fear—it's so well done!
As of 5:45 PM on September 27, 2025, the author has updated 12 chapters. I'd feel bad not giving it five stars! Additionally, the author updated 15 chapters that day. It turns out that the price of updating 15 times a day is having to stop updating altogether.
Pretty fun 😂, takes life and death lightly, and fights if you disagree 🤦
The first half of the book was quite good. The protagonist, Xu Damao (of course, with a swapped soul), couldn't stand anyone, doing whatever he pleased, and he overthrew the powerful and influential, which was quite satisfying. However, and most importantly, the plan he made throughout the first half was to save up enough money to escape to Hong Kong, so he decided not to get married, knowing…
If you're looking for something to read, check this out. The hanging feature is quite novel, and you can even steal books from the next room. 5 Stars.
It's interesting to watch, and the changes don't have a big impact.
This is a very interesting book. I'll try my best not to travel outside the area; otherwise, the entire story will have been written out.
It's much more engaging and entertaining than the previous one; aside from the slow update speed, it's pretty much flawless.
A very good book, the rating is too low. It's the kind of book I like.
