   It has all the clichés of a period campus novel, but it's lacking something. The ending is abrupt and the romance is strangely written. Watching the female lead cry in front of the male lead feels like her personality transformation is too rapid. She's only been reborn for a year, yet she goes from a hardworking businesswoman to a spoiled young woman in a flash. It's baffling why a woman with such social experience suddenly becomes so blindly trusting and infatuated with a man. The character is too one-dimensional. Furthermore, the idea of ​​a minor dating in a modern setting is ridiculous. The male lead confesses his feelings to the female lead before she even takes the college entrance exam—is that responsible? He almost causes her trouble because of it. The male lead's mother, the main antagonist, claims she can't take the exam and then disappears anticlimactically.

   The author is like Ni Ping among period fiction writers; while overly sentimental, her writing is skillful enough to keep readers engaged. However, towards the end, some infuriating plot twists emerge. Every time the author introduces a saintly, overly sentimental element, it's incredibly frustrating. It feels like the author has gone to extremes in writing "Girls Help Girls." The early part of the novel features normal, respectable, and principled female-led mutual assistance, which is good and heartwarming. But later, the protagonist's morals rise to the point where she tries to use her connections to support the daughter of the man who murdered her. Although her father favored sons (he had no sons), this daughter was still among the best-dressed in her class before her father went to jail. A man who rose from village secretary to deputy mayor for many years, and now, after only a few months in jail, his family is facing financial hardship? I just can't believe it! Oh, so the wife used money to bribe officials to atone for her husband's sins? Doesn't that deserve it? The author even attributes the education bureau's refusal to support the girl to the "ten-year class system"—even today, which taxpayer wants to use their money to support the child of a rapist, murderer, or embezzler? Migrant workers' children lack good educational resources and end up delivering food, while the child of a corrupt official is sponsored to study abroad? Why does the female lead have to sponsor such a person? Chapters 184, 185, and 186 are so bad I want to ask the author for a refund! This murderer's chosen successor, the brigade leader, lives comfortably in his room burning charcoal in winter, while the children's classrooms lack window paper and chalk, forcing them to teach outdoors with tree branches, resulting in frostbite everywhere. The successor does this, and the murderer even protects him, wanting to kill the female lead for it. Why should the child of such a person get to attend middle and high school? Does the author feel sorry for Qu Wanting now that she's not as fortunate as before? Confucius said, "If you repay evil with kindness, what will you repay kindness with?" The female lead's moral level is even higher than Confucius's, almost inhuman (practically a non-human). Furthermore, the romance in this story is completely non-human; it feels like two AIs are falling in love. They're both saints, why are they having a romance? They should become nuns! Even near the end, it's still disgusting. The female lead initially insists on not going abroad, dragging things out with the male lead for a chapter or two. Then, after returning home, she inexplicably decides to go abroad again. How did she suddenly decide to go abroad for the sake of the common people's livelihood? As someone with memories of a past life, did she suddenly lose her memory? Was this whole drama just to emphasize the female lead's agency? The other couples' romances are also terrible. The older brother's ex-girlfriend, surnamed Qiu, is repeatedly dragged out and humiliated to highlight his emotional fastidiousness. The eldest sister's love life is even more absurd. Whether she's exceptionally beautiful or has exceptionally high emotional intelligence, it's never been written in the story. But she has a vice mayor who isn't her biological brother, and she finds an unmarried young man with a decent family background and personality to wait for her for five or six years, during which time she ignores him and gives him the cold shoulder. This guy surnamed Lin is like a masochist. The things that attract him to the eldest sister are completely unfounded. Even the top-ranked novels on Jinjiang Literature City, where the female lead isn't a virgin, wouldn't be written like this. Chapter 261 contains the sentence: "No wonder the word used to describe the overthrow of that person in '76 was 'individual' instead of 'gang.' Does the author really understand this history? If so, what's so special about setting fire to the investigators? Even science fiction writers can provide irrefutable evidence that one person's electricity consumption equals the entire output of a power plant. How could Bitcoin be mined in '76?"

   This story is highly class-based, and minors with immature values ​​should choose carefully. It depicts a scenario where the president of a C9 university in Shanghai accepts a bribe to influence college applications for relatives or officials. The protagonist's grandfather handles this with remarkable nonchalance, without any assessment of political morality or basic knowledge. He simply gives a university spot to the protagonist's friend who gave him the bribe. This clearly establishes the family as an academic power. It's normal that the protagonist's siblings all graduated from university, indicating that elders educate their children. However, the author doesn't highlight the grandfather's contributions to mechanical research. He only mentions voluntarily reducing his salary by half during the Korean War, portraying it as a noble act. In reality, it's just a reduction from 230 to 115, which is still higher than the salary of an eighth-grade worker who contributed to national development. For now, we'll focus on actions, not intentions. The text also mentions the grandfather's survival wisdom, so we won't delve into the motivation behind this halved income. The female protagonist's capitalist friend, who never experienced hardship, married a regimental commander and returned to Shanghai complaining that Northeastern soldiers named their child "Aid Korea" and that Northeasterners were unsophisticated. Her continued sense of superiority suggests that the ten years of reform were incomplete; some people were well-protected and their thinking remained completely unchanged. Despite this, the author's feelings towards this "pearl" are still one of pity and regret. Before liberation, many of Shanghai's major capitalists were compradors who exploited the working class, and most fled to Hong Kong or elsewhere with their gold and silver, preferring to flush their accumulated wealth down the toilet before their homes were confiscated. These various plot points are disturbing.

   The style has changed drastically [crying]. A career-oriented author has written a novel about a doting wife. It's so unexpected! I've read almost 50 chapters and still can't find where the female lead's career is. Collecting rent really doesn't count as a career. Moreover, her way of getting along with the male lead is typical of modern romance novels about doting wives. Although she doesn't know how to do business, the female lead is definitely good at dealing with people, a warm-hearted and kind little sun, and the strongest candidate for a virtuous wife.

   The story features a typical overpowered protagonist's career path (always involving face-slapping moments and the ability to acquire certain skills without effort) and a female lead with a self-confident personality similar to a male overpowered protagonist. Her obsessive-compulsive entrance, even when introducing herself as the number one/best blacksmith, makes one wonder if she has autism/mental problems. Perhaps the author intended to portray her as a female overpowered protagonist, but due to limited writing skills, the writing style is too unconventional.

    The story initially portrays the child as intelligent, but he doesn't even seem to grasp the concept of a father, blocking the entrance to his workplace to claim him as his father. While adult-themed scenes like kicking and pressing the groin are acceptable, the child blowing up condom balloons, the size of his testicles, and the use of lewd language are quite disturbing. The "career" aspect lacks any historical accuracy, and the idea that dropping chicken droppings can cause skin infections, or a nurse being hesitant to apply erythromycin ointment, are all absurd. However, it's not entirely without merit. At least it doesn't directly copy the sterilization plot from palace intrigue novels. If the female lead were to administer gossypol to someone for reasons other than personal vendettas or morally questionable acts that didn't cross legal lines, she would be utterly outlawful. The internal struggle of deciding whether or not to administer the drug is quite relatable. Ultimately, I was deterred by the romantic subplot. A married woman with children, after receiving CPR, is expected to remarry her rescuer—it's far-fetched and ridiculous. At this rate, ambulance staff would get married 365 times a year (without a cooling-off period for divorce). That's 196 = 9 years of women holding up half the sky, not 1869. The male lead's self-deception is also completely illogical. He likes the woman's child and cooking skills and wants to marry her? Then no one would dare be a kindergarten teacher or a chef—it's practically a high-risk profession for infidelity/being chased for infidelity. Furthermore, the female lead, an unmarried medical student, suddenly becomes a mother and accepts it readily. As an obstetrician, looking at stretch marks and the healing scars from a tear, doesn't she feel like her body has been damaged for no reason? Her reason is simply love for the young male lead. If a medical student has such an easily swayed mind and limited empathy, she'd be completely unfit to be a doctor or work in clinical practice; she'd be driven to a mental breakdown by the pressure of clinical interactions.

    It's almost finished, and I'm very disappointed. The female lead spends 90% of the chapters as a housewife, taking pride in it and looking down on military wives who go out to work, believing they're there to have children and should prioritize that. After being a housewife for over ten years, a single chapter briefly describes how she suddenly becomes incredibly wealthy. Honestly, unless you work your way up to your thirties or forties and then return to being a housewife, those who start out as housewives for over a decade really do become less intelligent, especially someone like the female lead who spends all her time cooking, washing clothes, and chatting with her girlfriends. This kind of "intelligence" means slower reaction times when going out to handle procedures or get things done, and most of them haven't accumulated enough social experience. Returning to society is like a paralyzed person needing rehabilitation. So this "golden finger" is too absurd. Rebirth is supposed to give someone foresight regarding policies, not to "preserve" someone confined to the home for over a decade with social skills. When I say being a housewife for a long time makes you less intelligent, I'm referring to the vast majority of people, excluding those who graduated from top universities like Tsinghua and Peking University and are already elites who treat housewifeship as a career. Her values ​​are strange. The female protagonist believes that we should enjoy social welfare after the reform and opening up, but what contribution did she make to society during the period from 24 to 37 years old? All she did was serve her husband and children. It's not without its merits. This is one of the few blended family stories that manages to write a compelling romance. It's also one of the few stories where the protagonist dares to have children despite the pressure from readers. This contrasts sharply with the story of the stepmother in "Yuan Yue Ban," where the female lead is practically an orphanage spirit, raising other people's children. Overall, the career development storyline is weak and illogical, but it's still a passable story about a reconstituted family in the Republican era.

    The hidden female lead in this story—the second sister—is essentially a scumbag in a period drama who abandons her husband and daughter to find a second spring. Why didn't she abandon her daughter? Because her younger brother, the male lead, is supportive. She doesn't care at all about her divorce and what will happen to her daughter. It's the male lead who feels his daughter should stay with him and uses the implicit threat of medical treatment to force her to stay.

    Palace intrigue is like fighting monsters; you defeat a boss with every level you pass. The romance is all about lust; there's no real inner beauty. Whenever the female lead says something like "It hurts so much," it means she's about to get a promotion—this phrase is more effective than a spell. The early episodes rely heavily on portraying the female lead as pitiful and suffering to keep the reader engaged.
