This book is full of endless chatter. Grandmother Jia, Lady Wang, and Wang Xifeng discuss even the smallest matters for ages, with frequent descriptions of their appearances and inner thoughts, and a chapter or two passes by in a flash. The male protagonist doesn't seem particularly charismatic either. He's just idly chatting away with the old lady. And the old lady even tries to warm up the male protagonist's cold heart—sigh, there's still so much to say.
You really dislike Baochai that much?! You even want to marry her off to someone like Jia Yucun to humiliate her?!
What I hate most about these kinds of books is the original female protagonist who's a princess or noblewoman.
If the original owner of this body suffered such treatment in the Jia family, and after he rose to prominence, he didn't drive Jia She mad and confine him to the stable, or imprison Jia Mu in the woodshed, I wouldn't consider it a true revenge.
The character Kamman Tong? An original female lead? There's really no need for that.
Of the 20 novels featuring original female protagonists in the Dream of the Red Chamber series, 19 have been banned. Is it because there aren't enough beautiful women in the novel? I don't understand. Or is it that female characters with templates lack the charm of your original female protagonists?
Overall, this book is quite good, but it's a bit too harsh. Grandmother Jia is somewhat petty; she's a shrewd woman who's lived a long life, yet she's like a wolf in sheep's clothing towards the protagonist.
I'm finding this book hard to read. The writing is alright, but I don't know why, when it comes to a certain person or event, it always has to go on to explain how it was described in the original Dream of the Red Chamber, or how this event was like this before and how it got to this point today, adding up two or three hundred words in total. It's very disjointed to read.
This book is purely for Daiyu fans; it's full of malice towards all the other characters besides Daiyu.
Why does she always want to hit the male lead? Why does she always blame him when something happens? Why doesn't the Jia family back down?
