Please enjoy the new book Everyday Life of the Urban Middle Class!!!!!!!!
Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her greatest wishes in life are:
To marry a scholar in blue;
To live in a little courtyard that faces the sun;
And, if possible, to open another small shop on Jinbao Street...
Then her life would be perfect, and she would ask for nothing more.
Li Jing is the only surviving legitimate son of the emperor's first wife. His greatest wishes in life are:
To slaughter everyone connected to the deaths of his mother, the empress dowager, and his elder brother and sister;
To place his elder brother's posthumous son on the throne;
Other than that, he asks for nothing more!
These two people, who originally had nothing in common, were brought together when Mo Yi's elder sister married into a good family and casually handed her former backup man over to Mo Yi...
The course of fate changed...
Her intelligence and meticulousness made his path of revenge smooth.
And he gave her grand courtyards, thriving shops, and a life of fine clothes and delicious food.
In the end, the regent, who had never cared about love between men and women, doted on an ordinary woman until he turned her into his cherished little wife...
Neither reborn nor transmigrated, with no golden finger and no personal space.
The male lead has a sexual past, and the female lead is not beautiful.
There is no love at first sight, nor any plotline in which the male lead chases his wife to the crematorium.
(The author rubs the back of her head. Hmm, she does have a rebellious streak... This is written for kindred spirits. If it is not to your taste, avoid it on your own. There is no need to burn paper offerings.)
Marriage first, love later, with everyday family matters.
There are schemes and satisfying moments, but more of it is about the ordinary ways they live together, help each other, come to understand one another, and fall in love.
This author is exceptionally reliable. There are also three excellent novels awaiting readers' enjoyment: Little Bug, Reborn Again into a New Life, and The Duchess: Beautiful Face, Black Heart...
It's a good read, with detailed character portrayals and distinct personalities. After reading so many transmigration/rebirth stories with overpowered protagonists, a strong female lead is a welcome change—a smart and capable young woman!
The profile describes someone who is occasionally clever and meticulous, yet has no sense of shame even towards their own family.
What domineering eldest sister, what mother's favoritism—it's as if you don't need anyone else's approval just because you have your father's love. Then you go and calculate who's more favored in the room, and you sigh about the peaceful life while smelling the daffodils in your room. My goodness, what kind of readers are you trying to attract with such a frustrating first three chapters?
Delicate, not awkward, full of ups and downs
I really like this kind of writing style. The characters are multifaceted and genuine; both the male and female leads have flaws and are imperfect. It realistically portrays the lives of ordinary people, not making them all the same or one person inherently evil. It depicts family relationships, flawed parenting within families, and various prejudices and mistakes in life, while also showing a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. It's full of life.
This is the best story I've read recently. The characters are so vividly portrayed, and the writing is masterful. It's rare to find an author who treats both the protagonist and the reader like normal people. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more and better chapters.
Mo Yuan is such a despicable person; she's incredibly selfish, shameless, and only knows how to be cunning and calculating. Anyone who gets involved with her is doomed. Mo Wen is the same; she's selfish towards her family with a self-righteous attitude. It's hard to accept that these two would have a happy ending.
What happened to the male and female leads being incredibly intelligent?
Is this trend heading down the "God favors the stupid" route? A bunch of adorable, good-natured characters winning against the villains because God is on their side? That's not what I originally wanted to see.
The female lead isn't smart, and the male lead isn't much better. He doesn't even realize that his trusted family has been won over by others. Also, with the concubine in charge, killing them would be as simple as using some poison! And that old lady, she doesn't know anything, yet she claims to be a master of palace intrigue. Sigh.
The author updates twice a day, usually on time, which is great. The writing is getting better and better, and the story is becoming more and more exciting. Keep it up! 👏👏👏💪💪💪!
The first few chapters were really frustrating for the female protagonist 🥹 I wonder if there will be any wish-fulfillment/refreshing plot points later on? 🤨
The plot is full of twists and turns, the characters are well-developed and not stereotypical, it doesn't drag on or rely on padding to keep readers engaged. It's been a long time since I've seen such a conscientious work.
