    I really loved this book. The transmigrated female lead carefully nurtured her character, never acting recklessly. That's so rare. I've read too many stories where the transmigrated protagonist becomes incredibly arrogant after being reborn, but then doesn't seem to gain any intelligence and continues making the same mistakes—it seems their nature is hard to change. Sometimes when I read, I just fantasize that the female lead can truly reform herself; many of them eventually revert to their old ways. It's not that dying once makes you completely enlightened, nor does death magically boost your intelligence and solve everything. This female lead is a pleasant surprise—calm, low-key, and decisive in handling matters. Highly recommended. Oh, and the best part is that the epilogue finally gives the older brother another life. In the main story, the older brother was such a good person, yet he was used and deceived, his heart shattered—it's such a pity. The epilogue's ending for the older brother is truly wonderful.
