There's a recurring motif in these chapters that I can't shake — the idea of confinement and the illusion of choice. Luo Fu is told she's entering the palace to 'protect her grandmother,' but the text makes it clear this isn't really about her grandmother at all. It's about family power dynamics, social climbing, and survival in a system that treats women as currency. The birth chart excuse is symbolic on multiple levels. On the surface it's a superstitious plot device, but underneath it represents how women's fates are decided by forces beyond their control — astrology, family interests, political calculation. The fact that the Pei family 'discovered' the incompatibility only after Pei Ji's emotional confession suggests the charts were always going to be whatever served their interests. Then there's the rain and the heat. Rain = the night Luo Fu and Pei Ji's relationship ends. Heat = the suffocating pressure of the days leading to her departure. Both are natural forces she can't escape, just like the choices being made for her. The crimson rose in her hair is another symbol I keep coming back to. It's placed 'at the center of the bun' — right where everyone can see it. Beauty as decoration. Beauty as bait. The palace attendants stare at her and Luo Yuanshan immediately calculates profit. The rose is beautiful but it's also a signal that she's been selected, claimed, and sent away. And Pei Ji's blood — he coughs it up after his mother calls Luo Fu a 'vixen.' His body literally rejects the family's narrative. But he can't fight it. He can only laugh, collapse, and accept that his bond with her is 'irrevocably severed.' The theme here is clear: in this world, love doesn't just face opposition — it gets medically, socially, and politically engineered out of existence.
I love the storyline... suspense filled and interesting ...️...️
Story started out great and I loved the original but there hasn’t been an update in close to a year. Save your coins!
I rate again if it continues it not finish yet
Despite his overpowered ability, the main character actively strives to better himself, and the author doesn't shy away from showing his imperfections. The people he encounters are mostly kind and understanding, often reluctant to push him, which can seem unrealistic given how much they support him unconditionally. Nevertheless, the character interactions are enjoyable, the skill system engaging, and the clear, straightforward objectives provide a welcome change in perspective for an isekai story, as we witness noticeable progress after a reasonable time has passed.
is there a manhwa of this I swear there is something similar...
I have recently completed the third arc, and while it didn't quite live up to the excitement of the second arc, it has still been an overall fantastic experience. The translation quality has been exceptional, with the translator providing insightful interpretations and explanations for various details, showcasing their dedication.

I'm finally done!!! Honestly, I enjoyed the story from chapter 1 to chapter 390. After that, it was a bit boring for me. Like why do they add some kind of romance like that?? Regardless, overall the story was okay.
I think I became quite smart after finishing this
if i remember correctly the author wont upload anymore since he kinda got scammed by webnovel and does not own the rights for this novel anymore
Forgive me I don't know if this is the correct place to write this or in general to even mention this. But I believe this version of the WN has been stopped and the one actually getting updated is one called RE: Ankoku Kishi Monogatari. So my question is: is it possible if it's not a burden to you instead of updating this one since it's stopped picking up the RE version of it and updating that that is still continuing???
