    Reader note

    Those with quick-acting heart medicine should read this; the author's writing is incredibly ruthless. I thought it was a typical face-slapping story, but after reading over two thousand pages, I realized it was the reader who was being slapped in the face. This is a total scam! It's like they lured readers in with the synopsis and tags only to kill them. The earlier scenes in the countryside were well-written; the female lead showed no mercy to her enemies. But once she returned to the capital, she was like she was under a spell. Her mother, who outwardly seemed caring but whose actions were all pushing her into a living hell, and her selfish second brother who always sent his wife to the front lines—I wonder if her father and eldest sister would have fared any better without her, her mother, and her second brother? I just don't understand. If the female lead wasn't planning on harming her second brother and sister-in-law, why focus on their outrageous behavior? Otherwise, you'll end up with a reader who spent the whole night reading only to be furious. And then there's the blind date scene. I don't know if the author was just padding the word count or what. The female lead says she doesn't want blind dates, she just wants to focus on the college entrance exam, but then she becomes speechless in front of her blind date. And then when he actually likes her and pursues her, she's not interested anymore. Seriously, if you don't like someone, just say so! You slap your enemy without hesitation, but you can't even speak to a stranger?? I strongly suggest the female lead become a true female lead—decisive, smart, and skilled at taming her husband. I've read over two thousand pages, and there's a common problem: the author always seems to cram all the preparations the female lead makes before she does anything into the reader's head. For example, when she's in the countryside, she says she doesn't want revenge on the Song family (her ex-husband's family), listing several reasons, but then she goes after them... Why not just do it directly? Sometimes, when the female lead's words and actions seem contradictory, they're surprisingly consistent. After returning to the capital, she keeps saying she doesn't want to get involved in her second brother and sister-in-law's affairs, but when their family is practically behaving like they're on top of her, she doesn't get angry. The female lead's second sister-in-law has always been unhappy about her staying at home after returning to the city, almost causing chaos in the household. The female lead hasn't done anything, yet the author focuses on explaining why she doesn't take action and emphasizes the sister-in-law's eccentricities. The female lead isn't angry, but the readers are practically seething with rage. Where's the irony? Where's the satisfaction? This female lead is such a pushover! I suggest readers prepare some heart medication; the author is incredibly ruthless, using every underhanded trick on those of us who enjoy historical fiction.
