I woke up and suddenly discovered that I'd been born into a matriarchal world?
Mu Xi: At least I'm a woman.
But after seeing the poor farming family she'd been born into, and knowing how people in ancient times depended on the weather and the mercy of the authorities just to get by, she decided to study hard and change her fate through the imperial examinations.
Born into a poor family, she could only seize every opportunity she could find. She would read more and learn more. Opportunities always went to those who were prepared.
In the morning, a farmer. By evening, a court official.①
Perhaps she wouldn't be able to achieve what every scholar longed for and make her name last through history, but she would do everything she could to improve the lives of the people under her jurisdiction and live with a clear conscience.
1. Matriarchal society, romance develops later, one-on-one.
2. The male lead does not give birth. It's a normal world, with some original worldbuilding.
3. The imperial examinations are written about casually, so don't scrutinize them too closely.
4. ① From The Poem of the Child Prodigy. All details in the story related to the imperial examinations, official titles, government offices, and their explanations were researched online and modeled on the Ming Dynasty, since I can't make those up.
Theme: Knowledge changes your fate
After reading it many times, I finally decided to write a review. I really like some of the settings of female deities in the novel, such as the first-month ceremony, various settings for girls, etc. It does not make people feel abrupt or magical after reading it. It is very consistent with my orientation towards female deities. It is also not like some so-called female deities' novels, which end up using too much force and turning into sex-transformation male deities in the cloak of female deity. The women written have no female characteristics. The heroine in this article, Luan Xi, relies on her true talents and practical skills to achieve a high position with her feet on the ground. In fact, it could be expanded a bit, and I feel like the daily life of the young couple could be written a little more later, but overall it's pretty good.
I always feel that there are some parts that my wife did not fully develop and write, and some sub-plots came to an abrupt end. But I really like the heroine written by my wife, who is down-to-earth and moving forward step by step. I hope my wife can write some extra stories!!! I really want to see it!
I read it in one sitting, it was really well written!!! But it would be better if there are many places that can be expanded upon and written about in detail. The plot is rich and reasonable. It's not overly generous, and the writing is decent. There are really many parts that would be better if it were expanded into a small copy. Then it would probably be a large text. There is no trace of the heroine's uncle and third brother, which is a bit of a pity. The same goes for Yun Lei. I won't describe it later, which is a bit regretful. But it's also a very good article, cheers (???_??)?
The ending is a bit rushed... There are many things that could be expanded/suited to be written but not written... It's a pity...
I've read it all. The author's writing is really good, but I think there are some things in the article that I can't understand. First, the reason why Mu Xi and Gu Lianqing became friends. The article said that Mu Xi regarded Gu Lianqing as a friend because of similar personalities, but there was no description at all of the similar personalities. Moreover, when Gu Lianqing and Mu Xi met, the description of Gu Lianqing's character was very annoying. It felt like the author forced Mu Xi to make this friend so that Mu Xi could have the opportunity to obtain the books on the imperial examinations that were monopolized by noble families. Second, there is the issue of Mu Xi's coming-of-age ceremony. Because Mumu Mufu doesn't understand the customs of the capital, she doesn't know the importance of the coming-of-age ceremony, but doesn't Mr. Xu understand it too? Moreover, at that time, we knew that Mu Xi was about to turn eighteen and that most women would marry after that. They knew that they would have to worry about the identity of Mu Xi's future husband, so why didn't they ask Mu Xi when his birthday would be and when the adult ceremony would be held. Even if Mr. Xu forgets, her husband or the housekeeper in charge of human affairs will probably remind him, right? Third, the engagement issue between Mu Xi and Shen Shi. At the banquet, Mu Xi discovered that Mu Mu had arranged a marriage between her and Shen Shi, and later found out that half of the etiquette of the engagement had been broken without her knowledge. Even if Mu Xi had a crush on Shen Shi, but he manipulated his marriage in this way without telling himself at all, wouldn't Mu Xi have any complaints against Mu Mu and Mu Fu? Anyway, this is not mentioned in the following article at all. I think this is a bit unreasonable.
This is the end, caught off guard
I won't comment much. After the marriage, the main plot developed too fast. Many of them were not explained clearly. It was short anyway.
I finished reading it in one go and saw that the time was really three o'clock in the middle of the night. Hahahaha, the dark circles under my eyes are deep again.
Mu Xi is really the most authentic story of "Being a farmer in the morning and ascending to the emperor's palace in the evening". It is really worth reading it in its entirety, and the writing style is very good, allowing people to understand it as a whole. It's great. I'm glad that after reading such an article, I don't feel like I wasted my time |?ω?`)
I read it in one go, and I'm still not satisfied
