After watching it, I felt it was pretty good. The female lead was good, the male lead was good, they were both good, but I just felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe it was because the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were too rational, or maybe it was because the female lead had too many experiences from two lifetimes. But I just felt uncomfortable. I felt that the infertility medicine was too cruel.
The premise is fresh; I hope the author can withstand the pressure and avoid ending up with a pregnant female lead who is clear-headed and the male lead who isn't love-struck. It's quite good; there's not that much romance. The synopsis has already explained everything clearly.
After reading most of it, I finally understand the whole book. The main character is a neutered cat 😆. The content is about the daily life of a neutered cat and its owner.
The female lead is resourceful yet kind, but not a saint. Many people dislike the emperor's character. However, in my opinion, this emperor's character is perfectly reasonable. What emperor is driven by love? Would he risk losing his throne for a woman? So, to me, it's very believable—it shows love, but even more so, rationality!
I've seen enough, let me put it this way. The female protagonist in this book is very virtuous, and everything she does is considered excellent for that era. And aside from that troublemaker Gu Qi, I feel like everyone else is intelligent enough. Well, this book is more suitable for people who read a lot of female-oriented novels.
Not bad, not bad. It's been a long time since I've read this kind of "playing it safe" novel. The female lead lives a very insightful life, and the emperor and empress dowager are also quite good; they know their own worth and don't kill people at the drop of a hat like in "Empresses in the Palace." I really like it; it's quite enjoyable to read.
Because the writing is so clear-headed, many people find it hard to continue reading, but that's also part of the book's charm. However, I almost wish he hadn't experienced the modern era. After all, once you've seen the bustling world, looking back at the past, nothing seems good, because women have always been swept along by history, not its creators.
It's a very good book. It's rare to see such a rational and ruthless book these days. The male lead's coldness and the female lead drinking the infertility drug are heartbreaking. Reading the later parts felt a bit unsettling, but thankfully the female lead is a time traveler. It would be fine if it were a story about a boss and his employee working together, but the female lead is portrayed too wonderfully in the beginning [sad face].
It's really good. The female lead's character isn't repressed, and there's also the emperor. Although some people in the comments section dislike the emperor, I think it's already very good. He has the rationality of a wise ruler, while also giving the female lead as much love as possible. The other characters are also very well-developed. It's not all about palace intrigue and face-slapping; many people are working hard towards a common goal!
Both the male and female leads are very clear-headed, understanding what they want, and constantly striving for their "careers." When the female lead died at the end, I cried, I really couldn't stop. Overall, there were no plot holes, the characters are well-developed, and the storyline is quite good.
