Besides the protagonist's growth arc, the dramas within the book are all captivating: "Yun Qing Ji," "The Mute Woman," and "Xiao Feng Que."

The first ten chapters of this book are highly controversial, starting slowly but improving rapidly. If you don't like this, it's recommended to skip them. 2. This book is not a wish-fulfillment story; there are quite a few eccentric characters. 1. The female lead is purely ambitious and will decide whether to retaliate based on her own interests. 2. The female lead is not a purely good person, and this book does not deliberately promote feminism. Those who like righteous and heroic characters can skip this. 3.

    In male-oriented novels featuring time travel, imperial examinations, and officialdom, I encountered a wildly independent female protagonist. This woman, the protagonist's sister-in-law, initially appeared as a ruthless, cunning woman who couldn't bear a son, cheated on her husband's family, and emptied their coffers, taking everything with her. As the story progressed, I gained a more complete understanding of her. In ancient times, a woman who couldn't produce a son was destined to be abandoned, sooner or later. When she married into this family, she was a hardworking woman, capable of doing the work of three. Later, her anxiety about not being able to conceive a son only exacerbated her anxiety. She began seeking a way out, giving gifts and money to her family to secure her future and ceasing all efforts for her husband's family. Later, believing she was pregnant with a son, she decided to return to her family and reclaim all her money. And she truly did it all on her own. Because she was healthy and strong. Unlike other clueless women who blindly obeyed their families, she had demands when she brought money. She wanted to eat good food; she wanted meat. Meat makes her body stronger and healthier. Your enemies want you to be weak, and she loves herself, so she takes good care of herself. That's why she has the strength to punch Guangzong and kick her parents—not some kind of superpower. This is a story about an uneducated, rural woman from ancient times. She's also a strong, independent woman who grew up in a wild and untamed way. She's clear-headed, doesn't fight back, and even when she makes a foolish mistake, she can clean up the mess herself. When it came to getting money, she faced her brother and parents alone and successfully got it back. Her husband was there getting her clothes. 😄 Do you agree that this is a true strong woman?

The female lead is calm and rational, habitually devising various contingency plans for every situation, and possesses a meticulous mind. Her opponent is highly observant, constantly probing for her weaknesses, making their back-and-forth interactions quite engaging. It doesn't rely on mindless overpowered abilities, but rather on strategic thinking and maneuvering.
