I like the gentle and composed female lead. At first, I was worried that the male lead was just after the rich and powerful, but later he became quite the gentle and wealthy young man. I'm not in a rush for romance; I prefer career women. Looking forward to the next update.
It's so good! The romance is a bit slow-paced, but the career storyline is absolutely fantastic! The female lead transmigrates to ancient times and retires from the palace at 25 after saving the daughter of a virtuous concubine. She then starts building her career, opening an embroidery shop and making many loyal friends along the way. The author's writing is incredibly beautiful and delicate.
Very good read. The author's writing is very clear and organized, like someone who has run a business or started a company, haha.
I've only read a bit, but I couldn't resist leaving a review. I've been feeling anxious lately, and this book has really calmed me down. It's given me a different perspective on many things. The author is truly amazing. I've read so many books, but this one is genuinely the kind that I found very comfortable to read.
This is the only book I've read that doesn't have a single villain. How to put it? It's very light and enjoyable, just a bit too short. It's perfect for a quiet read after you've read too many random books. I'd give it a 9.9 Out of 10.
The author is truly amazing! I've been going through some tough times lately and haven't been able to concentrate on any novels, but this one instantly calmed me down. To write something like this is incredible; I have to say, the author is fantastic! Keep up the good work, author! The content is incredibly captivating. I won't spoil it, but it's definitely worth reading.
I think this book is really good! The first few chapters captivated me, especially the descriptions of the house – they created such vivid images in my mind, making it feel beautiful and desirable. The interactions between the male and female leads are also very delicate.
I really love this book. I randomly picked it up on a sunny afternoon with blue skies and white clouds, and it felt so healing. Everything was so beautiful, and it filled my heart with warmth. Thank you, author, for the heartwarming story. I will continue to follow your work. [Already added to my wishlist][Already added to my wishlist][Already added to my wishlist]
It's a novel that unfolds in a captivating and engaging way, without any formulaic plots or clichés, and without any melodramatic twists. I really enjoyed it and hope they continue to write more.
The female lead is intelligent, but the beginning doesn't explain her previous profession, background, or why she is so intelligent.
