    Reader note

    The first book is finished; it's an incredibly satisfying read, but the ending felt a bit rushed. The female protagonist went to the apocalypse and was reborn. She's powerful and has a spatial ability. Her family is a wealthy, politically connected family; her family fled and left her with Grandpa Tang. Grandpa and Grandma Tang dote on her, making it one of the few foster families I've read where they don't mistreat her. They're even grateful to her biological parents for the money they gave her to help them through a famine. The female protagonist is never one to suffer in silence. She can't win arguments, fights, or cause trouble. For example, when people from Beijing send people to the countryside to cause her trouble, she not only takes them down but also immediately goes back to Beijing to get revenge. She can't let things linger or stay angry for even a moment. The second book is rare among period dramas I've read; it doesn't involve black market tropes or rural excursions. The female protagonist has a spatial ability, but it's not very prominent; she relies entirely on her own skills. In the beginning, the female lead was a bit too cautious because she was afraid that her identity would cause trouble for the male lead, which I found slightly annoying. But it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the show.
