   Reader note

   Highly recommended!!! 1. This is a political intrigue novel. The female lead's ability to survive well in the world of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, especially under Wang Xifeng's control, demonstrates remarkable shrewdness. She constantly contemplates her path and meticulously plans everything for herself. This novel doesn't rely on overpowered characters; everything is built upon the female lead's own abilities. Unlike some wish-fulfillment novels where everything is geared towards the female lead, this one features characters with distinct strengths. Their mannerisms and accessories are all meticulously crafted, showing the author's dedication. (She truly is a clear-headed and self-reliant female lead.) 2. Many people probably know this one. The female lead is known for her meticulousness, never leaving any loopholes for others. Every action is carefully considered and logically explained. She has a clear understanding of family relationships and the dynamics between different people. Furthermore, she's ruthless, capable of grinding for equipment for nights on end and even hiding under her bed to become stronger and exact revenge, filling every single moment of her time (her execution is off the charts!). The author is truly amazing! [Bookshelf added][Bookshelf added] At first, the setting might seem a bit thin (for example, it seems like Yu Xunge was a brother-supporting demon in his past life, and Yu Xunhuan was just a typical wish-fulfillment male protagonist...). But as you read on, you'll find that the characters become increasingly fleshed out and come to life, and everything has a cause and effect (leading the female lead to constantly believe and give in her past life, ultimately leading to the ending...). It's really good!!
