The Concubine's Rise to Legitimacy

There's a saying that heaven is jealous of talent. But it turns out that not only heaven is jealous, but people are too. 90% Of the women around the female lead dislike her and want to harm her. The rest of the women who like her don't help her much.

Seeing so many heated comments almost discouraged me. But actually, I'm here to reread the story for the third time. I read it pirated first; it's from 2015. Although I've been a fan of Qidian for over a decade, I frequently read pirated versions before 2018. It wasn't that I couldn't afford it; I just hadn't learned to respect the author's hard work.

I read part of it for free, and the sense of incongruity was extremely strong. At the beginning, the female lead was already 6 years old. Fu's mother and father were written as very smart and capable, but Fu's father was really low for trying to get rid of Qiaoyun. Fu's mother managed the inner courtyard perfectly, but her death was a huge slap in the face. This book has no sense of immersion at all. Too much of it is for the sake of the plot, and there are too many awful characters.

I just want to know why the female lead's mother was killed off. I don't understand why female leads in period novels can't have a happy and fulfilling family life. Either they have a dead mother or both parents, or at best, a good father, or a terrible one. I'm not reading anymore; the female lead's mother is dead, so I don't want to continue.

I immediately dropped the book after reading the chapter where Wang died. Life is already full of helplessness, and I was looking for a heartwarming feeling in this novel. The author built up all the goodness and warmth in Wang's character in the beginning, and then suddenly she was killed off. I was so angry! I promptly dropped it.

Having read this far, I think this is probably the biggest difference between a reborn modern person and someone reborn in their own era. The author's character setting is undeniably accurate. Having read Yao Da's *Zhe Jin Chun* and then this book, both featuring reborn female protagonists, while the characters' environments change, their values ​​remain vastly different.

The book pays considerable attention to its title, but the plot is still somewhat immature. The idea of ​​abandoning everything and fleeing overseas after being confessed to by the emperor she once loved seems overly sentimental. Her premarital intimacy with the male lead appears extremely unreserved and disrupts the sense of historical context. Many readers find the protagonist's malice and scheming inexplicable, with contrived and forced motivations.

The female lead's father almost overthrew the dynasty to avenge his wife, but in the finale, he remarried, which really felt inconsistent with his character.

The female lead's father must regret it when he finds out that his stepdaughter has caused so much trouble for his precious daughter and has harmed her countless times.

I couldn't stand the fact that the female lead's mother died, so I dropped the story. It's infuriating! Wang Shi was so beautiful, strong-willed, and intelligent, and she just died like that! 😡 I can't accept it. I'd rather the female lead's father died than see her mother die.
