The childhood scenes at the beginning were well-written and heartwarming, though the family members were always moved to tears, which felt a bit overdone. I thought the later part, where the characters embark on the imperial examinations, would have more compelling storylines, but unfortunately, it became rather bland as it went on.
It's so good! It's my first time reading a story where a woman transmigrates into a man, so I wasn't used to it, but this one isn't melodramatic at all. The protagonist has a strong moral compass, and there are no awful relatives. Instead, the entire family supports the protagonist. The author's writing is excellent, and although it's a story about the imperial examinations, it's not boring at all.
This novel clearly has a female soul. Many female-to-male transmigration novels use this tactic to scam readers; the protagonist is actually male and has no connection to women whatsoever. The story is filled with typical male chauvinism (readers considering female-to-male transmigration novels should check the reviews before reading).
I enjoy reading imperial examination novels, and this one is great. There are no overpowered plot devices; the male lead achieves his goals step by step through hard work and perseverance. Having read the latest chapter, I've almost forgotten that the male lead is a woman who transmigrated into a man, so the engagement doesn't feel too awkward.
Chapter 172 The pacing is fast and doesn't drag. I hope the young people will never change; the bond between classmates is precious. (Especially Zhao, please don't let your sister down. The story emphasizes this several times, which is nerve-wracking to read 🤦 Women don't necessarily have to go through hardship to grow; love can blossom in all sorts of ways.)
The author's writing is excellent, and the main plot is a proper imperial examination story, well-organized and logically sound, making it well worth reading. However, the supporting protagonist's life is truly exhausting. He's been relentlessly devoted to his sister since she was three, their relationship akin to lovers and spouses, but never quite like that of a sister.
I think this book is very well written! I feel this kind of subject matter is quite rare among Tomato's works. While reading, I could feel the author's dedication to this book, and Zhou Huaijin's personal charm is also excellent! I also think the author's writing style is very strong! In short, I feel my words are inadequate, but I highly recommend it!!!
It's a great read, the author writes very well, the logic is clear, and the poems are also very good. However, author, next time you could please change your reminders to the main text; I really suspect you're just padding the content. [Please update more frequently!][Please update more frequently!] The atmosphere at home is also great, warm and comforting.
Five stars! I watched the whole thing, from the support between the main couple to the repeated changes in the status of women in the court. It really felt like watching a strong female lead story. Anyway, as a girl, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is a female-to-male imperial examination novel. The male protagonist's progress in the examinations is quite steady, and his career path is also clearly defined. Since he was a woman in his previous life, the later development with the gradual promotion of female officials makes the empress's ascension to the throne feel less abrupt. Overall, it's a pretty good novel for the imperial examination genre, with no major plot holes in either the romance or career storylines.
