    This book is exceptionally good. It mainly tells the story of the female protagonist's parents, older brother, and older sister. All the characters are unique and vivid. Especially the female protagonist's father's line, something like, "A mother wants her son to die, but a son doesn't want to die, because he has a son," highlights this. His mother is a bad person and not his biological mother. The main plot revolves around the female protagonist being a time traveler (I think it's been a while, so I've forgotten the exact timeline). She possesses a magical spring and uses it to avert some disasters for her family. In the end, they all survive and find the female protagonist's father's biological parents. Her father eventually becomes emperor, and the female protagonist's godfather is also very memorable. The story is captivating, and each character has their own unique backstory. I highly recommend it!

    A fast-paced, exhilarating read! Who understands this?! This completed palace intrigue novel shatters any sense of "frustration" right from the start! The female protagonist, Qi Yue, transmigrates into the body of a cannon fodder princess in her own writing. She's not a love-struck fool—a wicked mother-in-law dares to cause trouble? She slaps her across the face; a scumbag husband wants to marry a concubine? She gets her doting brother to issue an edict divorcing him and stripping him of his official rank, while also emptying the general's mansion of his dowry—the satisfaction is off the charts! The sequels are even more amazing: taming a villain, seducing a top assassin, having the aloof imperial advisor and the pure-hearted imperial physician fawn over her—she's all about "rules above all else," settling scores on the spot and never engaging in internal strife. "Dare to set rules for me? Better to slit your throat and be reborn into a better life!" This kind of domineering female protagonist is the pinnacle of exhilarating reads.

    This book is good. The female lead initially targeted the wrong men, getting humiliated by them and even being called their lackeys. However, the male lead, who secretly loved her, quietly stood up for her. After the female lead switched her focus to the male lead, their interactions were very sweet.
