    Five stars. This book is very suitable for girls to read. There's no need to further separate the female and male characters. That part was quite fantastical and a bit awkward to read, giving a sense of realism that felt detached from the story. The feelings of each female character in the story are very profound. Sometimes, empathizing with them evokes a genuine sense of powerlessness. The patriarchal society blatantly exploits women's advantages to protect the interests of men as a whole. The book states that normal men are rare; what about normal women? They've become nourishment before they even have a chance to awaken!

    This question hits the nail on the head regarding this book! Tags: Female to Male Transmigration, Historical Fiction, Revenge, Grievance, Unexpectedly Charming, Shameless Character, Historical Fiction. The book has 131 chapters, short and concise. The premise is sound, the logic is reasonable, and the female protagonist who transmigrates into a male character is determined to be a kept man. The protagonist earns his keep through his own abilities, is intelligent but doesn't use his intelligence for good, and the fact that his kept man is a butcher's daughter adds a charming contrast. One is responsible for physical prowess, the other for intellect. It's the kind of book I'd reread if I had the time. Just a side note: the protagonist's shameless character is a very interesting trope.
