A Prudent Lady

The writing is so angsty, and the plot drags on. How many chapters have been dedicated to just one political marriage? I feel like I might as well drop the book.

Is the Zheng family really that important to Xu Shu's future? Why go into such detail? Are all the private affairs of the inner quarters being discussed?

By chapter 131, I didn't want to continue reading because I really disliked Zhuang Li. An additional reason was that I gradually became disappointed with some of the female lead's thoughts and actions.

I like it. This subtle style...

That's great, keep it up!!!

The female protagonist is very self-centered. She believes that anything that's good to her is an exchange of benefits, and therefore it must be. She thinks that only genuine kindness is truly good. But, in this world, is any kindness truly pure? It's all about ulterior motives.

I really don't understand what kind of "perfect white lotus" the author is writing. Anything the female lead doesn't want, they make things difficult for her. I initially thought she would change later because of being loved, but instead she becomes even more of a white lotus. I just can't stand it anymore.

Is this kind of life even bearable? ...🤫🤫🤫 I can't bear to watch anymore.

This novel is quite good in terms of its subject matter, theme, and character design; the character descriptions are vivid and engaging, and the plot is captivating. However, there are very few reviews, and it's not very popular. I think there are two main reasons. First, the synopsis isn't emotionally engaging enough and is too obscure.
