The Bookish Noblewoman

I've read this book many times. I didn't like writing before, but this time, while reviewing it, I finally couldn't help but want to say something. Ruozhuo is one of the few girls I truly admire in the time-travel novels I've read (others include Chu Yu). Her sincerity is invaluable.

The beginning of the book was very well written, but the ending wasn't very satisfying. Of course, in ancient times, this outcome was already quite good. The female protagonist's thinking aligns with modern values, but for someone with a well-established worldview and values ​​to live a clear-headed and rational life in ancient times would be very difficult, causing her much inner turmoil and pain. There's a saying, "Living too consciously is painful; it's better to be a little confused!"

On the surface, it's a lighthearted story, but in reality, it's a tragedy. Thank you to the author for bringing us such a normal time-travel novel.

I absolutely love the female protagonist and the ending of this story! Finally, I've found a normal female protagonist who has an independent personality and shows signs of having struggled in modern society. Amen. Perhaps in unavoidable circumstances one might bow one's head and endure, but to endure it for a lifetime is almost impossible.

When I reread this book, I had just finished reading "Daily Life in the Qing Dynasty," which features two female protagonists, Lin Ruozhuo and Li Wei. They have different identities, ages, environments, personalities, and choices, which lead to different endings... I can't help but wonder, if Lin Ruozhuo and Li Wei switched identities, what choices would they make?

The female lead really missed out! Going with the Taoist priest meant she could have enjoyed dual cultivation with four handsome men—it was so awesome! But she didn't know she'd end up tied to the "fallen woman" and constantly cheating seventh prince.

I think the female lead's independent thinking is fantastic! However, her actions are far more tragic. Since she was so confident and capable of ruining her husband's rightful throne, why didn't she kill him after he ascended the throne and then support her own son to take it?

The female protagonist reflects modern thinking; she's afraid to harm others. It's understandable, but who among us modern people would dare say that due to circumstances, we can tolerate or even become a mistress? Harming others? Let alone scheming and plotting! Don't assume that the allowance of polygamy in ancient times is a reason to harm others!

It's a very good book with a novel concept. As a modern person who travels back to ancient times, some things are ingrained in your bones, and you can't accept or even feel disgusted by some ancient customs, which is understandable. The ending is good and very realistic.

It's exciting and entertaining, but doesn't hold up to scrutiny. The fact that Lin Ruozhuo, this idiot, survived to the end is almost entirely due to the protagonist's plot armor. It's just a lighthearted, wish-fulfillment story; read it and forget about it.
