I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

The story is quite good. It can be seen that the heroine is very capable, good at disguise, and has a lot of calculations in her heart. The male protagonist will gradually see through her disguised appearance, and then see that she is gradually attracted to her heart, and finally falls. It can be regarded as a very standard step-sister story. But what is a bit awkward is that there are a lot of comments from the third perspective, that is, when the heroine does something or plays a trick, there will be a servant, servant, or lady from the third perspective, oscillating in her mind, why is this person so powerful? This person's behavior is clean, decisive, and intimidating, and then he feels like he is about to crawl at the feet of the heroine. However, those strategies or those words did not show that the heroine is extremely powerful and is superior to everyone. It feels like ordinary strategies. It may be because the heroine has had similar experiences before, or has studied, and has a strong ability to control people's psychology and can respond quickly according to the environment, but it is also an excellent level and has not been played. It's so stunning and stunning, but after all, you still have to pretend to be weak. Everything has to be said by the heroine, and then either the hero or someone else does it. I know the heroine is so powerful, but in the article, others say how powerful the heroine is, and they are shocked when they see the heroine's methods. There are too many descriptions of this kind. If the heroine is raised too high, the comparison between the two will be a bit awkward. It just feels like the heroine's aura is a little too big, and the IQs of various villains and passers-by are a bit low. There is a feeling that a diamond player beats all living beings in a bronze game, and then outsiders look at this diamond player and think she is the king. It's been a long time since I read a stepmother story. Let's see if there will be any changes in the future. The story is good. I give it a big thumbs up and look forward to the update.
I read the latest chapter in one go. It is a very good book. The descriptions of clothing, architecture, political affairs, etc. In the book all reveal the author's skills. The feelings of family and country are not awkward, and it is easy to follow and rise to a higher level. Unlike some books that are so embarrassing that you want to dig out two rooms and one living room, and the behavior of the heroine is also very good. The descriptions of things and other aspects make me feel that this is what a reasonable time-travel heroine should have. Instead of making a big deal about lipstick, hot pot, etc., She should first modify and add bit by bit based on the existing ones. Although there are also standard cosmetics, food, etc. Like other time-travel dramas, it does not make people feel exaggerated. On the contrary, I feel like: Ah, this is what we should do at this time. Regarding children's education and family atmosphere, we have never just talked about empty words. Everyone knows the principles, but the heroine can teach practice. The most rare thing is that although this book also writes about the heroine being an official and engaging in politics, it also reflects the imperial power of the time, unlike some books. The book about a time-traveling girl completely incorporates modern thinking but doesn't know how to retract or avoid taboos. In ancient times, there was a strict hierarchy and imperial power was supreme. This book writes about a heroine who comes from time-traveling and struggles to survive, but she also struggles to create her own world in the environment that she has to face. It's a great book and I look forward to the follow-up!
The female protagonist is brave and resourceful, as strategic and bold as the male protagonist, but she also has the delicate tenderness of a girl [admiration] [admiration] She can still shine even without the male protagonist. Reading this book, I don't think the male protagonist is unclean. Although he has a pair of children, but as he said, how could the children of the rich family be ignorant, stupid as pigs, and not yell at the female protagonist when she comes. I stayed up late to watch the latest chapter, and I'm looking forward to the follow-up. I'm really excited about it for three minutes. I hope it can be updated continuously without losing the current quality. I'm afraid that I'll run out of ideas later [cry][cry][cry][cry][cry]
A good book with well-developed characters and distinct personalities. The heroine looks sickly but is actually flexible and upright. The author's writing is clean and delicate, and the full text is fresh and elegant, without the vulgar taste that is prevalent in many online articles. The pure fragrance of pen and ink exudes between the lines, making it difficult to put it down.
Although I don't know how it will end or what the process will be like, the thoughts between the male and female protagonists are delicately outlined, and the scene is just like before your eyes. The heroine's style is very consistent with the environment of the era. She is not superficially strong, but depicts the details of how to determine the outcome in a practical and concrete manner. Even if I knew it was a heroine Shuangwen, I wouldn't fall into the cliché. The relationship between men and women of this status is based on their talents and they appreciate each other. It makes sense. Although I knew at a glance that the story would have a happy ending and that the protagonist would have a halo, I couldn't help but look forward to the game in the middle plot, and even more to the author's slow rhythm of unraveling the cocoon, so it didn't matter about the ending.
The author's words make people feel very immersive, and the descriptions are also very real and detailed, as if they have returned to the era in the book to watch. It can be seen that the relationship between Master Shoufu and Ling Ke is deepening step by step like a long stream. The daily interactions make people feel warm. I really like Ling Ke's clear mind and attitude towards doing things. He can manage a good relationship while also having his own career. It's great [Like][Like][Like]
It's a very novel subject matter, and the author's writing is very good. I followed more than fifty chapters in one breath, which makes people want to read more, but it's not finished. It's a pity, come on author, please update more, don't stop, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! ! !
The writing is so good, it's very beautiful. Although it feels a bit repetitive, the writing style is very good and it looks great [shy][shy][shy][adoration][adoration][flying kiss][flying kiss][flying kiss]
The plot is vivid, the plot has ups and downs, and the author's writing is very good. It feels like a costume drama, so it's suitable to watch with the sound muted.
I like this book very much, and one of the biggest reasons is that it makes me believe in the story between the male and female protagonists. The actions and language of the male and female protagonists are very consistent with the current ancient background. Although it starts with the heroine's time travel, it allows me to see the wonderful process of the heroine in that era, from wanting to survive to wanting to live. She can be an ancient person, but also reasonably retains the thinking of modern people, and uses her own insights to help the hero and achieve herself. I think the three words "just right" are very suitable for this book. The behavior and speech of the male and female protagonists, including their occasionally overflowing emotions, are just right. Although the heroine is "Mrs. Come on, I will continue to follow up with updates [Sending my heart]
