Poisonous Weeds 🌿🌿🌿🌿
Books with toxic elements, incompatible values, or that I couldn't keep reading [doge] emmm, or books where the author deletes reviews and bans readers who leave criticism in the review section. In short, I'm trying to help everyone avoid the poison.

A few days ago I read a book about a collateral branch of the Jia family inheriting the Ningguo Mansion. The story goes that upon arriving, the heir immediately released everyone, keeping only a dozen or so people to serve him. Releasing the servants of the Ningguo Mansion, who weren't his own people, is understandable.
It's really well written... Even though she's pitifully young.
The word count is also high, as is the portrayal of Lin Daiyu... Also, this book probably isn't a proper pure romance, is it? As long as it uses the "Dream of the Red Chamber" label and focuses on a single female lead... Well... The audience probably won't be large.
With so many women, how can you manage? I don't care about the protagonist's back. All I know is that with so many women, you'll be exhausted, writing will be a struggle, and you won't be able to handle so many girls with different personalities.
The first four chapters are really well-written, featuring the sensitive and thoughtful Miss Lin, the carefree maid, and the timid "Uncle" who can even kill a turtle. It's an interesting and vivid novel; I'm definitely going to follow it.
Reading Notes
There's everyday life, political intrigue, war, espionage, technological advancements, tactical innovations, harmonious relationships between rulers and ministers, heroic rescues, turning the tide of battle, childhood sweethearts, master and maid, romantic entanglements, and infatuated succubi...
The design is too young for a 7 or 8-year-old. Even if you say that ancient feudal society taught children to start early, it's still too naive to expect such a young child to have so many thoughts.
Lin Daiyu is 6 years old. Anyone 10 or 12 years old can understand it, but you're describing a 6-year-old as if she were 16. It's so jarring.
This book is truly getting better and better.
The first 50 chapters of this book are actually quite average, but it gets better and better as it goes on, opening up a new genre. Unlike other Dream of the Red Chamber novels that are always confined to the two mansions, this one manages to create a garden-themed feel within the protagonist's own little world. It's just not enough, especially with only one update a day.
Some book reviews are truly outrageous. They've clearly not even read *Dream of the Red Chamber*, let alone possess any basic historical knowledge, yet they have the audacity to spout such nonsense. Forcibly applying modern thinking to ancient ethics is the mildest symptom; asking why, during an escort mission, one doesn't abandon the escort and run off to kill the enemy is the most rational response.
The romance section is well-written, but the rest is utter nonsense.
