I Refuse to Be a Stepmother: The Spunky Girl from the Past Marries a Rugged Man and Gets Spoiled

This book is really good. The plot isn't bland at all; once you start reading, you can't put it down. It kept me really curious about what would happen next, so I binged it in one go. It also doesn't follow the usual formula; the revenge on the villains is very satisfying, and no villain is a constant presence throughout the entire story. I think the family relationships are very well written.

It's quite good. Although I didn't personally experience that era, I felt it was quite realistic and grounded, not overly fantastical. There are some rather melodramatic or extreme characters, but they're resolved quickly, so it doesn't leave you feeling resentful. The female lead's personality is also quite good.

I really like the female lead's personality; she's smart and principled. The part where she quickly gets married to "escape" her older sister's torment was hilarious 😂. Also, her career storyline—not much has been described yet, but it's said to be very compelling. She's already opened a shop; I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

It's a very refreshing story. I've read quite a few historical fiction stories, and I'm used to the female lead easily getting into top universities like Tsinghua and Peking University. This is the first time I've seen a female lead who didn't get into university. It's frustrating but very realistic. All the characters are very human.

Family relationships are complex. The female lead gives her second brother a job because he's good to her—a very genuine sentiment! Well written.

I've watched the whole thing! It's a great show. It's about a normal family, and although there are some minor conflicts and disagreements, everything is positive. There aren't any purely evil people. I especially love the female lead and the eldest sister. Their personalities are so well-developed. The female lead is fiery, while the eldest sister is a landmine 😂—indiscriminately attacking.

Hahaha, although there are a few awful ones, there aren't too many, so don't be discouraged. The eldest sister is back! So funny, but she's definitely a jerk!

The female lead is indeed a fiery, down-to-earth woman of her time; she's determined not to be a stepmother and will never suffer a loss. The film also portrays the helplessness parents feel towards their children. The eldest sister is initially quite unpleasant upon her return, but she truly changes later on—she's a ruthless and ruthless woman! Sister Jiang is amazing!

It's pretty good and very interesting; it's my first time reading a historical novel. It's very realistic and relatable, and the female lead is really enjoyable. Anyway, I had a lot of fun reading it, and it made me abandon my principle of only reading completed novels.

Having read up to chapter 51, the female lead is clear about her likes and dislikes, and she won't spoil you just because you're family. She doesn't suffer losses, and overall it's pretty good.
