Her mission, however, is to win over the lovesick, obsessive male supporting character, who loves the heroine but can't have her and eventually imprisons her.

   The beginning was very good, but the later part was obviously forced into a synopsis, giving the impression that everyone's mental state was worrying. Although the male lead's character was appealing in both periods, the transitions were not smooth enough and made it a bit uncomfortable to watch.

   This is surprisingly good! The author's writing style far surpasses the number of favorites and ratings. The depiction of her frail health is excellent (okay, I kind of like sickly beauties). And who would have thought that between the scheming powerful minister and the ordinary girl who accidentally transmigrated into an assassin's body, it was the former who expressed his feelings more directly. He didn't refuse to let her go, but he also couldn't bear to let her go, so he asked if she could wait until he collapsed from his illness before leaving. Moreover, Lord Xie, who devoted himself to serving his country, was also truly wonderful. I give him a thumbs up here; Lord Xie really survived to the very end with a sliver of health.

    Curator note

    I initially intended to read it as a cultivation and growth story, but later discovered it was a dual redemption tale. However, the word "redemption" doesn't quite fit their situation, because in each of their lives they strive to save themselves. It's not so much about following a predetermined path, but rather, in this second life, they still want to do their best. What's already a regret may be irreparable, but they can't bear to watch those around them repeat the same mistakes. What's even more heartbreaking is the sheer number of female characters in the story. For a story written five years ago, to see this aspect is truly remarkable. The world can't bear to see them take up arms and rebel; they prefer them to be obedient and submissive. But these women rebelled thoroughly.

    I'd give it a slightly lower four stars. I only read a few chapters back then and didn't continue. Rereading it, I still feel there are many flaws. It's like the author tried to create a grand world-building and plant many foreshadowing elements, but ultimately it fell short of expectations. The female lead's love and hate also seemed too easily conveyed, making it feel a bit chaotic. However, the plot and story outline are still very interesting. The love-hate relationship between the male and female leads and the second male lead is also very engaging. The female lead's character is also very well-developed—strong, independent, and with a strong sense of justice. Her inherent kindness is unchangeable. Fate pushes them forward relentlessly, but they still strive to find a way out. It's worth a look.

    This bittersweet feeling is just right! As I read page after page, I felt like I was back when countless romance novels were laid out before me, and I instantly fell in love with Tengluo Weizhi's work. Actually, I hadn't read the author before finishing it; I just thought the innocent girl who didn't understand love but understood universal love and the resilient boy who, through the girl, understood both love and universal love, were so lovable. Knowing the author made it all seem both natural and a little disappointing. It was a pity the ending felt rushed and clichéd. Even after seeing the foreshadowing, I knew this was probably the only way to resolve the situation. Although it was a happy ending, it felt like it lacked some drama. The epilogue, however, filled that void. So, the author's writing is really good; please don't stop reading! [Pity][pity][pity]

    As I said before, four stars isn't the best for me, but it's still a very enjoyable story. The pacing might be a bit too fast, though; when it reached 70%, I felt it was only about 30%. The female lead is very determined and strong, a very likable character. The male lead isn't the typical loyal puppy type; he's a bit of a yandere from the start. I just don't know why he was pretending in the previous life but not in this one. I feel like it would have been even better if there had been more build-up.

    Curator note

    Let's read this story in two parts. I prefer to treat the life in the palace as a short story. In fact, the author's writing in the first half is probably much weaker than in the second half. It feels like the author was eager to write the cremation scene later on and didn't do much preamble. As a result, I don't understand why she fell in love with the male lead so quickly and even became so desperate. Although I'm willing to explain it as Shuangli's initial anxiety and desire to hold on to something, it's still not that good. I would actually suggest skipping it (not really). However, the descriptions in the Youzhou section are much more delicate. What touched me most was probably the dual perspective, which is why I'm willing to give this book four stars: the female protagonist's perspective is that she's just putting on an act, and she's watching his pain with a critical eye; but from the male protagonist's perspective, she's bright, cheerful, and as optimistic and kind as ever. Just as a photograph becomes vivid when it's given a soul by love, so too does this. We always subconsciously criticize ourselves, always feeling that we're not good enough, but in the eyes of others, we probably have many shining points. The details you forget will be noticed by others, and this is what touches me the most (perhaps Liang Li in the story is just putting on an act, but it's hard to say how much of it is acting and how much is her true self). To love others, we must first love ourselves; we should be the ones who love ourselves the most. Finally, since everyone reads book reviews to read the novel itself, I can only say that the male lead does become a bit sickly in the later stages, the kind of self-destructive, waiting-to-die mentality. It's very painful, so much so that I wanted the female lead to stop deceiving him and instead give him a thorough dose of hatred. But between the two of them, one knew the truth but still walked into the trap step by step; the other knew he shouldn't repeat the same mistakes but still couldn't deceive himself. Although the inner monologues of the two characters are a bit too long, it's still quite good and worth watching. (Okay, I've been enjoying writing long reviews lately.)

    Curator note

    I watched it a year ago, and this is my second time watching it. I really love the female lead's character—hardworking, determined, and kind. She's even more vibrant in this life than in the last. Compared to the male lead's forceful acquisition in the previous life, his gradual and deliberate pursuit in this life is much more touching. Whether it's an act or not, at least he learned to let go and give her what she wanted. And she, in turn, lived up to expectations by presenting him with a more vibrant version of herself. Of course, the romantic relationship is secondary; the friendship between classmates and teachers is what I loved most.
