I decided to stop reading the novel because I felt the author veered from their original intention, which led to some inconsistencies. The story initially portrayed a slice-of-life tale with the protagonist, who unexpectedly entered the world. The main character displayed a mix of adaptability and occasional pettiness, seeking her biological family after facing mistreatment from her adoptive family.
The plot followed a familiar pattern with conflicts, disagreements with villagers and relatives, changes in fortune, but then took a turn that bothered me. When dealing with the oldest aunt's husband, the portrayal seemed homophobic, despite a disclaimer about the MC's acceptance. Given the historical context set in ancient China, where Confucianism emphasized filial piety and childbearing as a duty, the author's depiction felt insensitive and forced.
The treatment of other "bad" characters wasn't as harsh as the husband's, which struck me as uneven. The grandmother who potentially sold them was portrayed as relatively harmless, with her messy household being the main issue.
As the story delved into a mystery, I felt the author introduced new elements that deviated from the original focus. The search for the MC's "master," who knew something about her past, and the looming threat of exile created confusion. Despite wanting to prepare financially, the MC's actions seemed disconnected, like opening a dress shop with limited involvement and no clear progression.
The lack of screen time for the male lead left me uncertain about his role, and the writing and pacing were decent, but the content was what ultimately led me to put the book down. I might reconsider giving it another chance in the future.
Well I am diving in then.

The pacing is steady, allowing the tension to build naturally. The world feels familiar yet frightening, which enhances the story’s impact. It's a thought-provoking and engaging read for anyone who enjoys dystopian thrillers with a scientific twist.
Thank you for such a wonderful story that promoted positive familial connections.
