Upcoming: The Qing Dynasty's Imperial Noble Consort Tong
When Tian Mi opened her eyes, she saw a soft, pale, half-bald little bun in front of her. The little one called out, "Mama," in a tender voice.
Good heavens, how can a little bun be this adorable? Is there any better life than waking up to a cat and a soft, sweet little bun, without even having to pay rent?
No, there isn't. Tian Mi hugged the adorable little bun, took a deep breath, and felt completely satisfied.
What?! This little bun will grow up to fight his way to the throne and become emperor, which means I could become the Empress Dowager! Isn't that a guaranteed winning life? As long as I keep my head down and live long enough, I'll get to be Empress Dowager eventually.
What?!?! I didn't give birth to this little bun... I raised him, so he's mine. No arguments!
Upcoming: On the Possibility of the True Lord Subduing the Demon King
I
Yang Jian set a bowl of dumplings down in front of Hu Lao. "Come try these. They're a new food from the human world. Pick one up with your hand and have a taste..."
"Nonsense," Hu Lao said, his black hair and snowy skin radiating an imposing air. "Do you think I don't know how to use chopsticks?"
"You do know how to use chopsticks, but you're a demon... Just try one. If you don't like it, I'll get you something else."
Hu Lao snorted and slowly picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks, then put it in his mouth... "Mmm!!!"
"Don't like it? I'll get you a bowl of noodles instead."
"Put that down!" Hu Lao hurriedly grabbed Yang Jian's hand, saying the opposite of what he meant. "Well, it's only so-so... Bring me another bowl. No, bring me ten pots!"

Sun Wukong was furious. His master had been captured by a demon again! As soon as he got the news, he stormed over to demand the monk's return. "Demon, hand over the old monk now, or your Grandpa Sun will make you regret it!"
Hu Lao emerged from his cave. "Wukong, you've got the generations mixed up. We're brothers, so how did I become your grandpa?"
Sun Wukong stared at him in disbelief. "You... You kidnapped the old monk? Why? The gods and Buddhas are all watching!"
"We said we'd do great things together back then, but you ran off halfway through to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Why can't I carry on with our plans?"
++Blurb for this novel
Zan Baolin transmigrated into the body of someone completely unlike herself.
Just as she was worrying about how to avoid giving herself away, she suddenly got a call from the hospital.
Her predecessor's mother and younger sister had been in a car accident, and the hospital urgently needed her to sign the surgery consent forms.
Zan Baolin waited in trepidation for the operation to end. With a strained smile, she asked:
"Little sister, are you feeling better?"
But the girl furrowed her delicate brows and replied in a thin voice:
"Who are you calling your little sister? I clearly don't have an older sister. Stop pretending to be one of my relatives."
Zan Baolin was terrified, putting on a brave face. For a moment, she thought she'd been found out.
After they got home, her younger sister had nightmares and cried every day.
Zan Baolin racked her brains, unable to figure out how to comfort her, so she could only bring her little gifts.
Her sister: "Is this specially for me? No? I knew it. You only give me things everyone else has rejected."
Zan Baolin: ...
Until one day, Zan Baolin was drawn into her younger sister's dream...
Theme: Feel the warmth that family brings with your whole heart
I feel the author's writing is quite realistic. Every character in the novel has strengths and weaknesses to some extent, just as we in real life also experience so much helplessness and imperfection.
Why did the emperor keep asking the female lead to calculate data for him? None of the officials who passed the imperial examinations were stupid; they also had to pass arithmetic tests. Perhaps they weren't as fast as the female lead at calculating simple data, but with the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art and the abacus in ancient times, they were definitely not slow at calculating things.
The emperor has such a thick skin! No wonder he's the emperor. I absolutely cannot be with the emperor anymore. Even a concubine is still just a concubine, and besides, he's so dirty.
My favorite parent is Lin Ruhai, followed by my grandparents. Although my grandma is enthusiastic about finding a boyfriend for her granddaughter, haha, it still feels quite endearing – same old grandma everywhere! I'd like to see what Daiyu's life was like after marriage; I'm curious how Lin Daiyu and the young prince got along.
Running between two parts of a modern-day Dream of the Red Chamber is quite novel. However, the issue of simultaneous romantic scenes arises. Furthermore, the modern version... Has too much of an arranged marriage feel, even more stereotypical than the Dream of the Red Chamber version.
Our Daiyu is sure to be popular anywhere, so Prince Zhao, you can be secretly delighted. Daiyu gave up an entire forest for you!
This story is quite good; I give the author a perfect score. However, two points nag me: First, even if Lin Ruhai approves of his adopted daughter, he can't just leave all the household affairs to his eldest daughter. Doesn't his biological daughter, Daiyu, need to be the mistress of the mansion? Doesn't she need to learn how to manage household affairs?
It felt like we hadn't seen enough before it ended?
It feels like something I want to watch, but it doesn't quite feel like something I want to watch.
My God! This Mrs. Wang is so shameless!
