   This book is absolutely amazing! I'll laugh until I drop! The princess's fishpond is reaping a bountiful harvest; she transmigrates into the body of a brainless, good-for-nothing princess? Wen Yu says there's a lot of room for maneuver here! The original owner even fell into the water because of jealousy over a man—so foolish! Watch as Wen Yu transmigrates and starts collecting handsome men, bringing the prime minister, generals, and top scholars into her "fishpond." The plot is truly incredible, unconventional, and full of novelty. And there's none of the clichéd scheming; the men are all smitten with the heroine, willingly making concessions for her—the emotional turmoil is incredibly engaging. The author is a master writer, seamlessly blending transmigration, sweet romance, and comedy elements, guaranteed to keep you laughing non-stop.

   It's good, but there's not enough of it. The female lead is very clever at the beginning, and the author writes very realistically. How should a modern woman who travels to ancient times protect herself? The answer is silence—less talking, more learning, especially of those around her. Only after receiving promises from the system and the male lead does the female lead gradually open up, displaying the arrogance and understanding of modern people. This allows her to radiate her own unique light. I believe that all readers enjoy time-travel novels because they want to see the brilliance that modern people bring to an era of equality—an era unique to everyone.

These are interspersed appropriately and entertainingly. However, this doesn't mean the plot is just a collection of references! On the contrary, the interesting references are merely the most unassuming part; the most outstanding aspects are the plot itself, with twists and turns, female characters helping each other, and a super sweet couple without any artificial saccharine elements! It's pure love and fun! It's been a long time since I've seen a story where the female lead is intelligent and not stupid, leaving everyone amused! It doesn't lower your sanity at all!

From the moment Ji Yanfeng accidentally flushed Su Wengui's toy mouse down the toilet, these childhood sweethearts began a decade-long "banter mode." To outsiders, they are a perfect match, but in their hearts, the other is clearly an inescapable "childhood trauma"—one responds with a cold laugh, the other laughs uncontrollably, tacitly trampling the word "perfect match" underfoot. Both academically gifted, they compete fiercely in studies and talents, even in matters of the heart. Su Wengui racks her brains to sabotage Ji Yanfeng's dates, while Ji Yanfeng is quick to nip any potential romantic interests in the bud, turning what should have been a sweet youth into a battlefield. Despite being recognized as exceptional individuals, they both have zero first loves and zero ambiguous relationships, becoming the biggest "stumbling blocks" on each other's paths to love. One day, Su Wengui, unable to bear it any longer, secretly arranged to meet her high school senior. In the movie theater, under the warm yellow lights, just as she was filled with anticipation, a dark figure approached, radiating coldness. Thirty minutes later, she and Ji Yanfeng emerged from the cubicle, their lips swollen and red. One angrily cursed, "You pervert!" While the other raised an eyebrow, threatening, "I'll kiss you for every time I say that!" All the care hidden beneath their bickering, all the longing beneath their open and covert struggles, finally transformed into a passionate kiss in a flash. It turned out that this protracted contest was nothing more than a clumsy, heart-fluttering game between two proud and arrogant individuals; those days of fierce rivalry had already etched each other into the rings of their lives.
