   It's a male-centric story, but the male lead is also written as a spoiled wife, which I don't particularly like.

    It's both cheesy and brainless. The male lead, despite not liking the female lead, still accepted her confession. His casual attitude towards relationships is just utterly despicable. The female lead misunderstands that the male lead has a fiancée and leaves without even asking, which is morally reprehensible on his part. The female supporting character, who likes to scheme against the male and female leads, always misunderstands their relationship as brothers—it's so cheesy it's annoying. The male lead acts like he doesn't have a mouth; he never explains his relationship with the female supporting character, leaving everyone to misunderstand—his mouth is practically rotten. In short, it's a love triangle between two idiots.

Everyone said Song Qian was the most fortunate noblewoman in the capital. The first syllable of "Qian" sounded like "immortal," so the noblewomen of the capital warmly called her "Sister Immortal," both praising her ethereal beauty and ingratiating themselves with her.

    I bought this book after seeing it posted by a young author on Hongshu (a Chinese online literature platform). I didn't have time to read the synopsis carefully and just bought it, thinking I'd read it later. Today, while organizing my bookshelf, I read the synopsis and the first few chapters and almost died of shock. People really shouldn't have so much sympathy! Could the author be any nicer to the male lead and any worse to the female lead? After meeting the male lead, he rises to great heights while the female lead's family falls into ruin. The male lead gains fame and fortune, while the female lead becomes the laughingstock of the city. Isn't the male lead a jinx? The female lead's punishment for the male lead is, "I don't want you anymore!" What a convenient self-deception! The author fell in love with the male lead before the female lead did. The female lead's liking for the male lead is also inexplicable; she falls for him at first sight, and then insists on pursuing him even though he doesn't like her. The synopsis says the female lead isn't very smart; I suggest changing it to "she's extremely unintelligent." Anyone with a brain and a thick skin wouldn't do something like forcing someone to marry them.
