    Without further ado, this [Adoration] is the most original rebirth novel I've read on Qie (a Chinese online literature platform). The female lead is incredibly capable, obsessed with power, and the author has a broad perspective and fantastic female consciousness! The main characters are all highly intelligent; there might be some foolish supporting characters, but absolutely no brainless NPCs. The plot subverts expectations, highly recommended! [Heart emoji]
