Righteousness Above All: Romance Is Pathetic
Clinging to one family or one small corner of the world isn't the right path. Getting lost in shallow, flashy things will only lead you astray. Not everyone lives for love alone. They're real people, with blood and flesh, ideals and goals, and genuine conscience.

Yiyi's Reading List
I like historical romance. I've been reading for a long time, so I'm especially picky and have particular tastes. Every book I recommend is well-written, tightly structured, and logically plotted, with no over-the-top wish fulfillment, shallow writing, or saintly heroines. I especially appreciate smart, bold, decisive, and efficient female leads. I only recommend books I've enjoyed enough to read at least twice, so come read along with me.

Treasured favorites!!!

My Body Hasn't Moved, But My Heart Is Already Far Away: Tang's Book List
I fell in love with novels when I was still in school, and I haven't been able to stop reading since. I like grand, sweeping stories with a lighthearted atmosphere. I'm not too fond of convoluted plots or particularly heart-wrenching setups. Life is already full of enough disappointments, so why look for more misery in novels? (That's just my personal opinion and preference, so please don't read too much into it.) I usually like heroines who are independent and strong. I'm not too keen on the d

To be honest, even if you enjoy wealth and glory, you must be prepared for ruin. Who doesn't know that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger? Since you've chosen this path, whether you succeed or fail is up to fate. It's impossible to get a reward without any effort or risk.
I came here after reading "The Noblewoman's Wife"! Compared to "The Noblewoman's Wife," the writing style in this book is a bit immature! I'm forcing myself to read it! Of course, it's precisely because of the comparison that you can see how much the author has improved! Now I'm looking forward to the author's new book, "My Wife Is Above"! Fellow readers, the author's previous book, "The Noblewoman's Wife," is excellent and highly recommended.
The characters all seem intellectually challenged yet feign profundity. Leaving aside how Old Master Shen concluded that anyone who leaked information to Ruliu was one of his own, how could a stranger not investigate the existence of such a secretive organization as Ruliu? Ridiculous!
Judging from the opening description, the female protagonist's family truly deserves their fate. They lack any political acumen, serving a powerful but ultimately vulnerable ruler, their influence overshadowing the emperor and the rise of powerful maternal relatives. They don't understand the importance of biding their time and gracefully retiring after achieving success, and yet the female protagonist cries foul? One really can't expect too much from female authors in this regard.
The opening scene, depicting the Fifth Prince's scheme, felt incredibly naive. If you lack the skill and ability for political maneuvering, don't write about it. Forcing a domestic power struggle narrative into this succession battle makes it both foolish and immature. I hope the author improves their writing skills, and most importantly, broadens their perspective. Don't make it feel like a village election—it's far too childish.
The story itself is good, but the descriptive writing style makes it a bit difficult to read.
I've had this book in my collection for a long time but never got around to reading it until I got tired of Mary Sue novels. I finally finished it recently, and overall it's pretty good. Personally, I feel the plot development is quite realistic. I've never believed that rebirth makes someone wise and shrewd, able to anticipate every move.
This book is very well written and worth reading. It's full of positive energy!
The narrative is terrible, incredibly verbose, lacking any ups and downs, just a monotonous recounting of events. The perspective keeps shifting, and the language is utterly bland.
There are too many repeated chapters. Although it's finished, I still hope the author can revise it properly; the messy writing is frustrating.
