Synopsis

[All-around harem magnet + born into a new life + Zhang family + sweet-smiling, fake-sunshine heroine] [She loves women and won’t torment the heroine. The world revolves around our heroine.]

Please note: this is an all-around romance! (More daily life than underground intrigue, with a fairly slow pace.)

Zhang Lingyue was a Taoist practitioner carrying on an ancient tradition in the twenty-first century.

All right, superstition is no good. Trust the country, trust science! We are all steadfast materialists.

But can anyone explain why a thoroughly orthodox Taoist disciple like her would transmigrate? And why twice?! The second time, she was even born into a new life! She was so furious she could only laugh.

Heavenly Venerable, is this really how you treat your devoted disciple? Please be kind!

As someone whose principles in life can shift back and forth depending on the conditions needed to survive, Zhang Lingyue figured there was an old Chinese saying that fit: “Since you’re already here, you might as well make the best of it.”

The heroine hasn’t read the original work and has no idea what’s going to happen. She is the last true inheritor of the modern Taoist tradition.

This is my take on a white-lotus heroine, with no derogatory intent.

The heroine’s personality: all smiles on the outside, sticking pins into little effigies on the inside. She’s something of a sarcastic commentator, but good at disguising it. Nothing matters more than herself. (Except the Heavenly Venerable.) Most of the time, she does as she pleases. If she can lie flat, she’ll adopt the attitude: “If it’s meant to happen, it will; if it’s not, don’t force it.”

If she can’t lie flat, she’ll just have to grit her teeth and get on with it. No point worrying about whether there’s a way out.

The heroine will use other people and the ties of cause and effect to achieve her goals. She suspects her transmigration may be the result of some kind of karmic connection or conspiracy.

In both transmigrations, she prioritizes looking after herself. She’s no self-sacrificing saint. She only truly cares about people and things that benefit her.

I've Had My Fill of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles. The Plot Is Too Clichéd. Any New Recommendations?

I'm looking for recommendations for new books. I just want something that doesn't feel too cliché. The plots I've picked out so far all seem terribly formulaic. Also, some novels require you to look closely at the photos, but don't worry about those. They can't post them without photos anyway.

This is a heartwarming slice-of-life story about the Zhang family's pets growing up, bringing a little light to the young man's otherwise colorless childhood. Zhang Longze is such a great dad-like boyfriend (✪ω✪), thumbs up 👍👍👍. There should be a romantic storyline, right?

The author writes exceptionally well! So cute, no one can resist raising a Lingyue baby! The interactions with Xiao Zhang are so heartwarming and slice-of-life. I love reading slice-of-life stories!! The writing is delicate, unlike those shallow fanfics where the male leads inexplicably fall for each other and there are tons of out-of-character (OOC) statements.

The author's writing is absolutely superb! The New Year's scene with the Zhang family felt like I was truly witnessing a bustling tribute mission, complete with the crunching sound of footsteps in the snow and the sight of the snow-covered landscape glistening under the moonlight at night—it's so relatable for a Northeastern kid like me!

A very well-crafted story. The characters of the female lead, male lead, and male supporting characters are vividly portrayed and have distinct personalities. I especially love the female lead's characterization. It gives me the feeling that the male lead is the proactive type who puts chains around his own neck—that's so satisfying!

The writing style is very good and has a sense of picture. The front part is more daily life. The heroine will not live a hard life. If I write about the generation of Lao Jiumen, I should also write about Wu Xie's generation. I am looking forward to the heroine growing up and writing about Wu Xie's generation.

Tie! It's really good. The female lead isn't the loud and boisterous type; she's intelligent too. It's rare to find a story that starts from the late Qing Dynasty and features a reincarnation into the Zhang family. She's meticulously planning her way out, from initially wanting to escape the Zhang family to gradually wanting to pull them out of their predicament.

I'm currently giving it five stars; the writing, plot, and character development are all solid. I really have to praise the author. She managed to portray the female lead's adorable childhood charm without being overly coquettish or affected. The cuteness is just right, surpassing 80% of similar authors.

It's beautiful, but the only downside is that there's too much unimportant description, which is a bit...😢

It's so good!!! The female lead is so cute and warm, like a little sun, but as the author said, she's actually quite cold inside, and her initial motivation for treating others' kindness is always to take advantage of them. But who can say that this kindness isn't genuine? I really hope the author can write the entire story to the end, to several million words.

It's caught up! It's super good, the interactions between the older brother and the young official are beautifully portrayed. Not only did they fall in love with the younger sister, but I, as a reader, also fell in love with her. And she's such a popular, female-centric character, which makes me love her even more! The fatal flaw is that two chapters a day are simply not enough; I wish the author could just release a hundred chapters a day! 💕
