Completed Historical Romance That'll Have You Grinning the Whole Way Through
A completed historical romance, very sweet with no angst. Reborn is fine. Both leads should be strong, and the female lead shouldn't be a self-sacrificing saint or a fake innocent. She should be socially savvy. 😍 Thanks so much, lovely ladies and gentlemen! 😘

It's alright, quite good. I just really wanted the male lead to shave his beard. Although I subjectively know that in ancient times, a man in his late twenties would definitely have a beard, I really wanted him to shave it off!
At first, I found it rather bland, and the plot was rather cliché. However, as it progressed, I really enjoyed watching the female lead gradually improve her household, both in winning over people and making money. The characters were also quite well-developed; for example, Cai Jinhua and Li Shi, who had caused her considerable trouble in her past life, seemed to have a good relationship in this…
It's rare to find a book that primarily focuses on the female lead and supporting characters, while the male lead and other supporting characters are interspersed throughout, adding to the story and steadfastly supporting their respective lovers. Especially moving was the letter the female lead's mother wrote to her child over 20 years; it brought tears to my eyes 😭
With the new book launch, I'll definitely fill this gap!
Why is the rating so low? I feel the theme is very novel—a female brothel girl who has been convicted of crimes and then follows an older man. Every plot point is natural and well-developed. The female lead is truly intelligent and wise. The ending also reveals the real reason the male lead went to the brothel, which is excellent—a heartwarming and positive ending. I think it's very good.
The novel is very good. The author mentions the male protagonist's first wife (and his first wife was primarily known for her looks...), So is the female protagonist a substitute? Author, please answer this.
It's a very good read; I think it deserves a 9 out of 10. The author's depiction of the female lead's emotional changes is incredibly realistic and nuanced, making her vivid and relatable. The romance between the male and female leads is largely free of angst; misunderstandings are resolved immediately, and the male lead consistently shows his love!
I really like Da Bai's writing. All the plots are believable and not artificial. He pays great attention to detail (I especially love reading his descriptions of jewelry...). The plots may not be particularly original, but the writing is excellent. It delivers both enjoyment and depth, and never just makes things exciting for the sake of enjoyment.
The female lead is incredibly intelligent and kind, but with a sharp edge. The male lead is also very likable. I'm really curious about the connection between them. Author, please update soon!!! Your previous post-apocalyptic novel was amazing!! I initially listened to the audiobook on Douyin, then downloaded Tomato Novels and reread it. It's the best post-apocalyptic novel I've ever read; I've read it two or three times.
It's not a mindless revenge story about rebirth, but a rational revenge story. It's a different kind of revenge with a touch of scumbagism. The main theme is "I won't offend others unless they offend me." The downside is that there's a lot of repetition. There's no need to repeatedly explain the characters' actions. It's best to just touch on the points.
