A Young Lady of the Ming Dynasty

This is truly a wonderful story! The content, plot, and writing style are all excellent! However, the author's writing style is problematic! It always involves agonizing first and then offering explanations, making me cry several times! Every time, I felt the male lead was such a jerk, only to realize later that he had a deeper meaning! If I weren't so sensitive, I would have abandoned the story several times over! I think this kind of writing will scare away many readers.

I watched a bit of it. This scumbag even threatened the woman not to leave, and in the end, the woman couldn't live without him. I didn't finish watching it, so I don't know what happened, but I really dislike this man's cold-heartedness. Does love really make a woman so despicable?

Reading this chapter made me very sad. Qin Sulan is going through menopause; a woman is getting old, and she and Liu Tao have spent their lives going through ups and downs like this. I thought to myself, how old are they? Liu Tao still tries to spite his wife by adding beautiful maids to their room. Isn't he afraid she'll get breast cancer? Whether he loves a woman or not can be seen from how he treats his unreasonable, menopausal wife.

The relationship between Liu Tao and Su Lan is one where feelings deepen over time, and love naturally blossoms, rather than being initially intoxicated by love only to have it fade with age and transform into familial affection. This is particularly rare.

I enjoy reading Zhizhi's books because they all feature wonderful male and female protagonists, making them very enjoyable to read. However, Liu Tao in this book uses every means to enslave the female lead, making him the worst kind of male protagonist. For women, Liu Tao can be considered a scumbag.

It's a very good show. Liu Tao's suicide at the end was somewhat expected. Their love remained deep within their hearts. It's like Bai Zihua in *The Journey of Flower*, when a man destined for greatness discovers his weakness and wants to eliminate it but can't bring himself to do it.

I couldn't continue reading until I reached Chapter B; it was too heartbreaking. No matter the reason, I can't accept the male lead like this. Please help me avoid this pitfall.

It's actually pretty good. It's just that every time a character appears, there's a backstory, which is a headache. Also, the male lead's official career path is a complete mess and makes my eyes water. I feel like this story is half male-oriented and half female-oriented.

The characters in this book don't seem very realistic. Especially the two main characters; the male lead is cold-blooded and ruthless, able to stand by and watch his own son be bullied by his own family. The female lead spent seven years building a caravan that roamed the world—it's unbelievable. Even Wang Xifeng from *Dream of the Red Chamber* wasn't as capable as the female lead.

This is the first time I've ever felt so frustrated while reading a book. What an incompetent female lead! I don't know what the author was thinking. Does he get pleasure from torturing the female lead?
