Reader note

The author's character creation is very successful. The image is not flat on the surface. Each character is so exciting that it can be published in a separate book. It can be regarded as an excellent group portrait novel. Each person in the family has 800 thoughts and all members have online IQ. Everyone is focused on their career. There is no bloody plot. Contradictions are created for the sake of contradictions. In order to highlight the heroine, she gives wisdom to others. The plot is not procrastinating and the logic is thorough, unlike a mindless and mouth-watering novel. They said he was a traitor and a vicious female supporting character, but their stance was different. As long as it went against him, he was a traitor and evil, but they never thought that in their eyes, he was the traitor and his accomplices who were protecting their country and the people. What makes this article different from other articles is that the success of the heroine is not just based on one or two sentences from others such as "how is she so powerful" and "how is she so vicious" without doing anything. These are all shown in specific scenes, and there is no so-called halo of the heroine. It is all because of her rational strategy, boldness and carefulness, decisiveness, discernment of people, good command of her subordinates, well-described character, and flesh and blood. With the plot of these characters, we seem to see the true rise of the Xiao family, not just because of the female protagonist and only the female protagonist. There are no modern elements in the text. Other time-travel stories go back to ancient times, but the arrangement of the time-travel trilogy is the most basic. Every time I see something like this, I am particularly surprised, especially if it is not logically consistent. It is really too intellectual. The heroine is not soft-hearted when she needs to be ruthless, and she cuts the grass and eradicates the roots when she needs to be fierce. There is no plot where the little guy is spared and comes to fight back in the end. The real heroines are not those fake heroines who have to rely on the help of the male protagonist to reverse the situation at critical moments. Although there are no explicit emotional descriptions in the article, you can always feel the full affection and ambiguity when the male and female protagonists get along (especially after they get together). I like to watch the female protagonist tease the innocent big wolf dog the most. Big sister... I really want to comment on these brothers and sisters. Everyone's story is very exciting, but let's talk about my old father Xiao Hong. It's too rare to see this kind of trust and love for the heroine's father. The last time I saw it was in The Eight Hundred Hearts of the Family, but his writing style is based on warmth and healing, and the tactics are not specific compared to this one. The trust and pampering of a powerful father is so rare. Other novels weigh the pros and cons and treat his daughter as a pet. In the end, Xiao Hong did even consider the heroine as the heir and gave her such an imperial edict to save her life. Especially the "little girl" he said makes me cry inexplicably. It makes me cry so much. I feel so pampered. Oh my God, he also mentioned the "little mouse"🤣"little golden pimple"

It is a Machiavellian novel with no Madonna, no space, and no system plug-ins. It is not a brainless novel. It is emotionally clean and has no vicious supporting characters. The whole novel is logically rigorous, the plot is compact, and there is no watery character. There is no forced intelligence. Each character is very vivid and has its own characteristics. The heroine has a good outlook on life, is moral, not bloodthirsty, emotionally stable, and not crazy. The author has a wide range of knowledge and profound writing skills. The heroine and the villain are brilliant every time in their battle of wits and courage. You can read the whole article without skipping a chapter, and the context is closely connected. This is a rare good article from Tomato! The look and feel is very good! Looking forward to more works from the author!

The heroine is laid out, has a vicious mouth, and abuses the scum along the way. But she didn't expect that everything she did was secretly linked to the disputes in the court.
