I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

"General Chu, please make peace with Yan'er as soon as possible!" ... "I will trade my life for my wife's freedom."

There's nothing bad about it, it's mainly a story about the growth of a few girls. The subject of the heroine's identity is relatively rare. The writing style in the early stage is quaint, like when the heroine and those girls arrived in the yard, the scenes and dialogues are more farm-style. I really feel the tension of those girls taking the assessment, and those chapters are very well written. Then the heroine reunited with the hero who she had saved when she was a child, and the hero recognized her immediately, which was really amazing. The male protagonist studied abroad because of her family since she was a child. Later, the male protagonist has always liked her and felt that she was a vacant piece in his heart. The two people also trust and depend on each other. Even if the female protagonist is in opposition to the male protagonist in order to repay her kindness, the two of them firmly believe that the other will not give up on them. And Le Wei's line is also very interesting. Her upbringing environment determines her strong character, and her fate is also very bumpy later. There is also Sese Hengyue. The paths they choose are different, but they are intertwined. Let me put it another way, their names are so nice! Chu Xia, Le Wei, Se Se, Heng Yue Qing Han Yu Zhi, maid Ying Gui Yan Gui also sounds good.
