At the beginning, the scenes where Jing Shi Shu gets her comeuppance were a little frustrating, but then I realized I could understand. Later on, my sister Shu adapts perfectly to her new role and becomes incredibly awesome—it was so satisfying to read! Plus, the supporting characters are all so well-developed.

There's also a story about a female protagonist helping the country during the Republican era, and a stand-in novel that's completely different from what I imagined—it truly redefines the concept of a stand-in.
