Wu Fu’s Life in the Palace Begins with the Selection

① It looks really good so far, I'd give it five stars, but it's an ongoing series and the plot is just starting to unfold, so I'll give it four stars for now and revise it later. ② The female lead, Liu Wufu, is a reincarnation. Currently, there's a known transmigrated woman from a farming family and a reborn woman; all three are in the Crown Prince's harem.

This book is quite good. The female lead is very cautious and not the kind of person who's clueless. The Crown Prince and the Emperor are both intelligent, unlike other palace dramas where characters are easily manipulated and schemed against without any real investigation. In this book, everything is under the Crown Prince's control.

So far, the characters are all very distinct and clear-headed. The Crown Prince is wary of both men and women, able to discern their nature—time travelers, those with special abilities, reborn individuals—and has a deep understanding of the inner court.

The female lead has always lived a very clear-headed life. The Crown Prince is truly God's favorite son. Usually, royals would pray to the heavens when faced with such a situation, but this one directly curses him out. The Crown Prince has spent most of his life fighting wits and courage against all sorts of demons and monsters.

I've finished watching it. Five stars for Fu Niang, and a negative one star for the cannibalistic inner palace. Fu Niang's life was incredibly difficult. She spent her entire life acting, constantly putting on a show in front of the Crown Prince and everyone else to protect her own life and the secret of being a transmigrator. How exhausting that must have been!

The content is quite engaging, and each character seems to have their own distinct female lead. Most of them are very clear-headed. It's painful for a modern person to be in ancient times or to be so clear-headed, but they all awaken to this reality quickly.

This book is quite insightful. Halfway through, I suddenly understood why ancient times so strongly promoted the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" for women. It's because men wanted women to be completely devoted to them without expecting anything in return. However, in reality, those who did this rarely met with good outcomes.

It's really good. Although the female lead is a time traveler, no one can tell that she is, which fits the character. The only thing is that it's not very clear what her family did for her (it feels like her grandfather was just a tool, and the others didn't seem to have much presence).

It was so hard to find this one! The plot between the male and female leads is great, and the female lead is very cautious, not letting anyone see through her disguise. She's a time traveler. Actually, I've always wanted to find a novel like this, but it's been very difficult to find one. I finally found this one, but there aren't many available, I'm not satisfied!

The only time-travel/reincarnation plot with a flawed sieve-like structure is that the emperor is a wise and rational ruler. Among the group of time-traveled and reborn women in the drama, only Wu Fu manages to survive to the end. She's not particularly clever, but she realistically clings to her wealth and status. Her appeal isn't strong; in short, she's incredibly stable.
