   Reader note

   "After Losing Her Husband, She Raised the Villain in the Marquis's Mansion into a Boss" by Yu Fu and Tang Shuyi is a historical romance novel featuring transmigration. The protagonist saves herself and her three children's lives. The three children initially have unlikable personalities, but they gradually change as the female protagonist, as their mother, guides them, transforming them little by little. It's not a wish-fulfillment story. It features a conflict between the transmigrator and the reborn, each with their own perspective, and the world isn't simply black and white. The reborn person, burdened by painful experiences in their previous life, seeks revenge. The transmigrator wants to protect themselves and their family. Everyone's position is different. While the eldest son's actions in his past life were indeed wrong, the female protagonist, as his mother, did cover for him, but she was also genuinely trying to minimize the damage. In my opinion, the female protagonist in the novel can also be imperfect. Moreover, in ancient times, history is written by the victors. So far, there is no male lead. Highly recommended.

    (The author's writing is excellent; the male protagonist's love for the female protagonist is respectful, not forced.) Shen Yufu picked up her brush, and in a moment of inspiration, wrote four characters with a free and unrestrained style: "Wish to be the long wind." May I be the long wind, unrestrained, swirling in the distant sky. Perhaps to lock in such a wisp of wind, he would need to exchange it for every heartbeat in his chest. At this moment, Gu Ruzhuo's voice came from outside the carriage: "Keep my red thread safe. If you don't like it... Then don't give it back to me." I'm just expressing my feelings for you, not demanding your affection. "As long as you stand here, I will come to you." "A seed sown, sprouts and blossoms, whether beautiful or not, it's still a flower." But every flower has the freedom to bloom; she deserves those praises, and all he has to do is protect her. "You said that a flower, whether beautiful or not, is still a flower. I'm the same; my heart only flutters for you, nothing else matters."
