She was dealt a living hell from the start: Lin Xi had become the cannon-fodder legitimate daughter in a historical romance novel.
The concubine-born younger sister who had harmed her was a modern woman who had transmigrated with the protagonist’s halo.
Knowing how the plot would unfold, Lin Xi smiled. Did they really think her ten years in the apocalypse had been for nothing?
Her half-sister’s script: domestic power struggles, palace intrigue, winning the Crown Prince’s favor, and becoming the most honored woman in the land.
Lin Xi’s script: crushing them with brute force, outclassing them with technology, and... picking up a “sickly” prince who looked like he might come in handy.
Back at the General’s residence, she ruined the face of her grandmother’s confidante with three slaps and tore away the whole family’s hypocritical facade.
The Crown Prince wanted her to “disappear naturally”? Then she would make a grand entrance and reject the marriage in front of everyone!
People laughed at her for being foolish enough to give up the position of empress to marry a sickly man whose life could end at any moment.
No one knew that only that “sickly man” could unlock the sealed space she had carried since the apocalypse.
While her half-sister was still using modern knowledge to figure out how to make soap, Lin Xi had already taken an alloy combat knife and high-yield seeds from her space.
While the Crown Prince was still weighing schemes and consolidating power at court, her seemingly frail prince husband had quietly taken hold of the lifelines of the realm.
At last, her half-sister broke down and screamed, “Who are you, really?!”
Lin Xi thought their engagement was a deal in which each got what they wanted. Who knew that the calculating, domineering man would cherish her with all his heart?
Jun Wuyan: “You think you can use this prince and then walk away? Not a chance!”
I've read up to chapter 236. It's alright, but not a particularly satisfying read. The space is rather underwhelming. The female lead seemed quite efficient at killing people at the beginning, but after more than 200 chapters, she's only killed twice, and she hasn't taken the initiative against the female supporting character at all; it's always the female supporting character who makes the moves.
A post-apocalyptic tycoon is now engaged in palace intrigue.
The female protagonist seems more like a time-traveler than someone from a post-apocalyptic world. She lacks any decisiveness or ruthlessness, and even procrastinates. She wants to steal the old woman's hidden silver but avoids the second wife's, even though she knows the second wife used the property as collateral for 20,000 taels of silver. She's a complete saint, wasting her spatial ability by specifically leaving money for the second wife to develop her career. She's got a screw loose.
I was initially quite interested in this subject matter, but some of the descriptions felt artificial, like something out of an AI novel. I've read several short stories with the exact same descriptive techniques, and the excessive use of ellipses makes the character descriptions a bit monotonous.
Why doesn't the female lead just tell the plot to herself? She can't do anything but curse and wait, she's incapable of doing anything but wait and wait. If you don't want to feel frustrated, don't watch it.
A very good novel, author, keep up the good work!
What kind of setting is this? A post-apocalyptic overlord? More like a man-sucking brain. The female lead has a spatial ability but can only open it by getting close to the male lead. Throughout the entire story, the male lead is decisive and ruthless, while the female lead is indecisive and always has to clean up the mess. A post-apocalyptic overlord?
Very beautiful and fantastic
The writing is quite good, and the plot and characters are well-developed. I don't understand why the rating is so low. I think it should be at least around 9 points.
This is so nerve-wracking! What apocalypse? Even if you transmigrated here, you'd be a pushover! I endured listening to over thirty episodes; if it weren't for the fact that it's a live-action drama, I would have given up long ago. [Shocked][Shocked][Shocked] 😠😠😠
