    Reader note

    I've been reading this for eight years now, and I have quite a few books on my shelf, but maybe it's because of my age, I don't find them very appealing anymore. This is the one I read today, and it's very captivating. The female lead changes the original owner's life while remaining true to the original character's personality, making the original character's literal traits more fleshed out. Some novels often involve marrying the person who saves you, but this one is different; the male lead clearly favors our female lead. Also, the original owner is a kind-hearted person, but even kind-hearted people can be vengeful. Can't the female lead use the male lead's power to take revenge? If you have the ability, don't suppress it. I think the apocalyptic setting would also be very interesting ❛˓◞˂̵✧

    Reader note

    This book is definitely high quality. Reading it, you might even feel like the author is using a pseudonym of some big shot. The writing style is not like that of a novice. There is no fixed CP. It's a Qing Dynasty time-travel story with elements of the period and other themes. There's also a space element. I've never seen such a clear-headed female lead before. She doesn't procrastinate at all. She's a pure hedonist and a refined egoist. Read it!

    🔥The transmigration script for the substitute character is completely torn to shreds! The entire righteous immortal sect in the original book is an ingrate, stealing the female lead's spiritual root and discarding her like trash. Luckily, she's picked up by a group of villains, redeemed, and focused on building her career without a romantic partner. The investment system is awesome!
