This story reeks of the typical chineese brainwashed mentality... If the reader is a normal person (aka not brainwashed with chineese ideals) you will find that almost everything in it seems like a joke. From the interactions between characters, to the social gerarchy structure, to how oficials do as they please and normal people endure corruption, to the illogical behaviour of the mc... I can't understand the logic it follows.I am not chineese so I'm not sure how much things like these are real or not there, but from my perspective every situation here seems ridiculous.I don't recomend it.
I want to add another review because of the new arc the story is on. Honestly, it's really cool. It wasn't how i expected the story to turn out, but i'm liking it a lot. I'm just scared the author will drop it because... well I dunno, you get that feeling. He's doing bonus chapters for us and stuff... i just hope he isn't overworking and getting bored with writing
would have rated it higher but author misspells names alot from Ferguson to Bale even Peter cech. though the storyline is ok compared to others
Really good, ghosts, mediums, and collage students, the character depth got to me... It's about Xiaodan and the cute homicidal ghost kid he adopted, and how everyone seems to have a problem with it.
it's doesn't matter actually, GT or QI, as long as i can read it. Dont thing too much will you, just enjoy it........................................................................................................ :D
After reading 17 chapters, It is just a nonsense family melodrama. How is this novel's genre is Magical Realm? The genre categorization is so misleading.
Good book I will enjoy finishing it
interesting and amazing storyline, I love it...️
There's this one moment in the text that I keep coming back to, and it's so simple but so loaded. Ying Mei says "Kneel." Just one word. And the entire power structure of the Changchun Houfu compresses into that single command. Nanny Sun immediately pounces: "Consort of the Heir Apparent, the Madam has not yet told you to rise!" This is the ritual—kneel, wait for permission to rise, show submission. It's not about respect. It's about making Ruan Xingci perform her place in the hierarchy in front of witnesses. But Ruan Xingci stands up on her own. And then she turns it into a question: "Mother-in-law had to remind me to kneel just now, but I know how to stand up on my own. How could I wait for her to remind me again? It's better to take the initiative." The scene is almost entirely dialogue-driven, which is interesting because the author doesn't need elaborate descriptions of the courtyard or the furniture or the servants lining the walls. The power dynamics ARE the setting. Every glance from Nanny Sun, every suppressed gesture from Ying Mei, the way Bailu "didn't even dare to breathe loudly"—these tiny details build a world where a single wrong move could cost you everything. What strikes me most is how the physical space itself seems to enforce the hierarchy. Ying Mei sits. Ruan Xingci kneels. Nanny Sun stands behind her mistress like a shadow. The arrangement of bodies in the room tells you everything about who holds power and who doesn't. And then Ruan Xingci disrupts that entire geometry just by refusing to stay in her designated position. The scene also does something really subtle with the tea. Ying Mei orders tea to be brought—not as hospitality, but almost as a way to reassert control of the ritual. And Ruan Xingci takes a sip and immediately pivots back to her interrogation. She uses the mother-in-law's own tools against her.
It's a great read I couldn't put it down had me feeling sad, happy and angry all at the same time. I loved seeing how the author developed the character's. The only thing is having to wait for new chapters to be complete was a bit of a pain but over all would definitely recommend it.
Loved it. You should release the new book sooner. ??
i really have been enjoying this book. great story line. can not wait to see what happens
