Reader note

The first book is full of 'evils', but not pure evil, egoistic [note] [note]. The female protagonist is a cannon fodder in Mary Sue literature and then reborn. She is the kind of evil person who is calm, rational and goal-oriented [send heart], not black and white. The second book is a bit like a Korean chaebol [eat melon] [eat melon], class-oriented, the heroine is rich, powerful and capable, the kind of NPC who awakens to break the marriage and escape the fate of the male protagonist selling her to the slums for marrying a commoner.

It originally traveled from the end of the world to the Qing Dynasty. There is no rush to change the original design. Then he lived for two years. A system jumped out. Well, after the first world, he wiped out the system consciousness. Then it passed through two more worlds. They're all pretty good-looking too. I just finished watching it and it felt good.

Reader note

The brave and scheming female protagonist VS the gentle and calm male protagonist. The story is very exciting, the plot is compact, the logic is perfect, and the layers are interlocking. The writing style is antique and powerful, and the characters it depicts are profound. The female protagonist is very smart, and she can fight back and forth with the villain without appearing to be imbecile. The emotional relationship with the male protagonist is perfect but gradual, not abrupt. The male protagonist is a gentleman who is upright and behaves in a well-mannered manner. Love it!

Reader note

A woman disguises herself as a man + imperial examination + no cp + no sense of presence system + strong woman + good writing! ! ! The heroine Xu Yue rises to the top step by step, county examination → government examination → court examination → township examination → meeting examination → palace examination, passing the sixth grade, from landlord to chief minister, changing families. There is a system, mostly for auxiliary purposes. You will forget that there is a system when you look at it. There are several nodes in the system that appear very funny. The heroine has not regained her identity as a woman. She will help women but not interfere too much. She will see the rise of women and go their own way. She has a broad world view and the supporting characters are well-developed. The characters are not perfect, but they have their own shining points. The best grandfather, the father who is indifferent but keeps money, Feng Gong who treats him as his own child, the wandering concubine, Emperor Bole... The heroine went from being a maid to a young child, all the way to becoming the Prime Minister. She seemed to have walked a long, long way, and it seemed that she had arrived in the blink of an eye.

21 嫡 The Poisonous Legitimate Daughter Robes White as SnowAncient Romance5.1M WordsCompleted 21.7kReads9.1Score2.4kShelves

Reader note

This setting is very interesting! A genius with both Chinese and Western medicine traveled through time and became a legitimate daughter who was not favored in ancient times. I really like this heroine, who dares to love and hate without being pretentious. With her modern medical knowledge, she was able to shine in ancient times, and it was fun to think about slapping those who once disliked her. For example, she used Western medicine techniques to cure difficult and complicated diseases, and she also shocked the ancient medical world with her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. It's my favorite style, and the plot doesn't drag out. Worth recommending
