The Wrong Bridal Sedan, the Right Wife

Objectively speaking, Cheng Yi had already done her best. She was very kind to the princess, spared the prince for the princess's sake when she held all the power, chose to save the mother during childbirth, and pioneered the women's examination system in terms of political achievements. The only problem was Cheng Yi's arrogant personality and her decision to go to the capital for the imperial examination because of the bet.

Seeing the ending of the article, I finally understand why some comments said Cheng Yi was hard to accept. Seeing all three of them cry later on, I felt sorry for Li Niang and the group leader, but even more so for Cheng Yi. Some comments said she gave up for her own power and status, but I personally think it wasn't for power; she just didn't dare gamble with her family's lives.

The second part was actually quite good, much better than the first, but the portrayal of Cheng Yi and her two friends dragged down the otherwise excellent plot, veerging towards melodrama. Cheng Yi could have been honest with the princess from the very beginning; there was no need for letters. Didn't the couple have a chance to talk? After the honesty, the princess, considering Cheng Yi and her family, certainly wouldn't have been foolish enough to inform the royal family.

While it's true that Cheng Yi somewhat stole the spotlight from the main character, this tragic style made the events involving Cheng Yi, Li Niang, and the Princess too complicated. Although Cheng Yi and Li Niang were genuinely good people, I felt Cheng Yi's personality completely changed.

Sigh, Cheng Yi was ultimately raised by a stepmother. Such a good person, yet she ended up like this. Author, you're so cruel! You're really torturing Cheng Yi to death.

I finished reading it, and the beginning and end felt like reading different stories. The latter part was really confusing and illogical. Actually, the author's writing is good and the plot is exciting. If the story of Mancang Huiban had been developed properly, it would have been a great story. Cheng Yi's story could have been briefly mentioned, leaving room for imagination as a plot device.

Watching Cheng Yili's mother was so heartbreaking!

Li Niang is great, and I also really like Song Rongyue. When Chen Yi left at the end, I instinctively put myself in Song Rongyue's shoes, and it really broke my heart.

I reread this story after more than a year, simply because it's the best fanfiction I've ever read! Rereading Cheng Yizhang's story, I cried my heart out; I felt so deeply for him, and the author's writing is so superb, it felt like witnessing the real events. I especially want to see Cheng Yi and Li Niang's next life, as well as the princess's next life.

Now I understand why everyone's commenting on Cheng Yi and Li Niang's unresolved relationship—but the princess is innocent too. Cheng Yi said that if he had known, he wouldn't have gone to the capital for the imperial examination because of the bet. Even if he hadn't gone, Meng He and the others would have made things difficult for his family after they became successful.
