Definitely into this book. Great story line-accidentally read it all night because I could not put it down. Hopefully there’s an update soon :)
Okay so let me just say this: the opening of this thing is absolutely genius. Our girl wakes up on a jolting ox cart, butt hurting, memories flooding in, and within three paragraphs we already know she's transmigrated into a novel. But here's the thing that really got me—the plot has ALREADY started deviating from the original storyline. In the book, she was supposed to marry Teng Fei, have a kid, get abandoned when he chases after some powerful female boss, and end up miserable. But now? She's fully aware of the script and she is NOT having it. The line "the top priority now was to escape the dramatic plot of the Zhongmawen" hit me like a truck. This is such a fresh take on the transmigration genre because it's not just about surviving—she's actively rewriting her destiny. And the fact that Song Qu, this military rep who saved her, is already reacting differently to her? The original Xia Baozhu was cold and disdainful, but this version thanks him sincerely and even tries to shake his hand properly. He was literally taken aback. The deviation is real and it's only chapter 7. I'm already obsessed with where this is going.
love it When is the next update?
the best story ever I started this morning I could not put it down
One of the best reads!
Muse is amazing she gets me all wrapped up in the story and it's hard to put down.
this book deserves a five Star review because it captured my interest from the first chapter with the anticipation of what will happen next. it is a splendid job by the author I hope she keeps it up
I love the story.
Not Alpha James giving her a long speech before dropping the ‘marriage’ bombshell :)
This is a book I’m definitely following to the end?
I need to talk about Pei Xu because this man is a whole mood and I am HERE for it. The author drops these tiny physical tells everywhere and I am obsessed. Remember when Sang Wu calls him 'Lang Jun' for the first time and the text says his knuckles curled slightly beneath his sleeves? That's it. That's the tweet. That's the whole thesis. This man has never taken a wife or concubine or even had a chambermaid—his romantic experience is a blank slate—and now he's married to a seventeen-year-old widow who was betrothed to his dead brother. The awkwardness is palpable. But what I love most is how neither of them knows how to navigate this. Sang Wu tries to be formal, calls him 'Lang Jun' instead of 'Fourth,' and then gets disappointed when he doesn't offer to walk her back. Meanwhile Pei Xu is over here thinking about how he won't be in Yuhang for long and why would he make her move if he's leaving anyway?? The irony is killing me. And then there's the breakfast scene with Third Madam where Pei Xu serves her soup and gives dietary advice about white amaranth being cooling. Third Madam is sitting there completely unnerved because she's never seen him this deferential to Second Madam. This man is performing filial piety like a pro but he's clearly uncomfortable in his own skin. The relationship between them is built on this foundation of mutual uncertainty and I can't look away.
the story is nice
