The female protagonist is reborn. The beginning is okay, but it gets increasingly boring later on. The repeated entanglements between several families lengthen the chapters, and then she moves to another place and gets entangled with several other families again.
Does the protagonist really eat meat constantly during the mourning period? One minute it's rabbit meat, the next it's meat dumplings. After reading more than ten chapters, I haven't seen anyone in the female lead's family show genuine sadness or grief over their parents' death. Instead of paying off their debts first, they're thinking about buying new clothes, especially during the mourning period. This doesn't seem very reasonable.
The female lead is truly the epitome of sainthood, a super-powerful saint among saints. After whitewashing her grandmother, she whitewashes her second uncle, then her second aunt, and after that, she's going to start whitewashing Jin Feng. Her holy light shines brightly, illuminating all things.
It's alright, much better than those rebirth and time-travel novels where the heroine is constantly married to princes, high-ranking officials, or nobles. Even now, there's a concept of marrying someone of equal social standing, let alone in ancient times with its strict social hierarchy. These authors don't seem to consider this; they just keep marrying their heroines off to royalty and nobility. It's so annoying to read.
The female protagonist was reborn and remained blindly filial to her parents to the extreme.
In this genre of rebirth novels where characters constantly marry into noble families or even become empresses, this is only the second story I've read about an ordinary family. It's relatable, but the author makes so many typos that it's driving my OCD crazy 😫
Sweet Rice, when are you coming back?
It's a very good book. I'm very particular about the books I read, but I really like this one.
Second Aunt Fang, whose maternal family name was Jia.
It feels like reading a historical novel rather than a classical Chinese text!
