    This novel is really good. Unlike the hardworking, self-made heroines I've read before, this heroine just wants to relax and have a good time. She's the most quirky type, the kind who's ready to fight if you disagree. The story isn't filled with mundane everyday situations or many awful characters. There are some at the beginning, but they never appear again. It gets better and better as you read on. The writing style is light and humorous. I personally think 9.4 is too low.

    It's a great read! The female lead is a time-traveler from ancient times, a true noblewoman. The male and female leads have very complementary personalities, and their methods of raising children are quite different. The female lead claims to be an egoist, but she doesn't come across as selfish. The author writes very well; I recommend it and give it a thumbs up! 👍👍
