   Reader note

   In this book, although the heroine is not cold and cold, she is super gentle (basically towards everyone and everything she meets), has a very upright outlook on life, and has a very charming personality. The full text is mainly about the career line, from scholar to prime minister, and the emotional line is also very good (there are four husbands and heroines, but each other's emotional problems are handled very well). There are basically no bloody plots in the whole text, and there is a gender change, but the three views are still very positive, and Wenfeng is also very warm and noble. There are many highlight moments about the heroine, but the author handles them in a non-obtrusive way. In short, if you are looking for a good-looking novel about women, this book is definitely worth it. [Sending Hearts][Laughing]

   The first one I'm reading now is really good, but it's still being updated. Alas, it doesn't have many pages. The second one I read before is really in line with this theme. I also read the third edition, which was also very good, except that it may be a bit awkward towards the end. But the front is really nice.
