I love this book a lot
Chapters 72 & 73 are repeats of Chapters 70 & 71. Can someone correct that or refund my money for those 2 chapters?
I concur with saphie's review. The novel has a compelling plot, but its execution falls short. I wished the ex-wife had more screen time to inject additional drama. However, it's still a decent read overall. The plot is charming and light-hearted. I appreciate how the female lead (FL) strives to be a good stepmother. The healthy relationship between the FL and male lead (ML) is also a highlight.
The tale is heartwarming. Don't be discouraged by negative reviews; the misunderstandings actually emphasize his deep love for her, in my view. It's true that the author occasionally employs plot conveniences through world-building surprises, but that's just a minor quirk. Heh heh heh.
This novel doesn’t deserve these low ratings. I understand that it might not appeal to everyone, and that’s perfectly fine!
It’s a laid-back, slice-of-life kind of novel. If you’re looking for drama, political intrigue, or complex schemes, you should probably look elsewhere. This novel isn’t designed for that. Go in with no expectations, and you’ll likely appreciate its unique qualities.
Shen Yourong, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi, is the epitome of a model woman in the capital. She is noble, rule-abiding, and almost too perfect. However, we get to see her inner world, which is much like any other teenage girl’s, but with a touch more maturity and cleverness.
Ji Zhuo, the brother of the current emperor and Prince Duan, is well-versed in classics and literature, and he comes across as gentle and amiable. Yet, we also see his cunning and ruthless side.
These two seemingly two-faced individuals somehow find themselves attracted to each other and fall in love. Don’t expect a cloyingly sweet love story or fluff here. The romance reminds me of the one in "Concubine's Daughter Minglan."
Be forewarned, though—the leads have a significant age gap, and the female lead is underage. If this makes you uncomfortable, I’d suggest skipping this novel. For me, the male lead’s treatment of the female lead never felt inappropriate.
One of the best parts of the novel is the sisterly bond between the Shen sisters. They experience moments of jealousy, but they also recognize that everyone has their own struggles and destinies. Particularly, Shen Qingyan, the transmigrator, deserves a hug. She deserved someone like Yao Jian instead of the fake righteous Fourth Prince.
Shen Shuo is also a great brother, and a shoutout to Shen Qingfeng as well.
If there’s one thing I didn’t like about the novel, it’s the ending.
**Spoiler**
I would have preferred if the male lead realized his ambitions at the end. No regent in history has ever had a good ending, and he had all the necessary tools to become the emperor. Anyway, that’s just my take on this novel.
Good read. But kind of fast paced.
You're right. Well, I just started reading Cultivation Online, so this will have to wait. Thank you!
Stopped at ch.113
there are many good points, namely the quality of writing, the configuration of the world, the game system.
among the problems there are the secondary characters (mark) who are just unbearable, the romance which is slowly built and which just has no place and worst of all, MC.
Even though I loved MC at first she's stupid. completely and utterly stupid. It makes you wonder how such a person can be a 36 year old mother.
there's also the fact that EVERY D*MN CHARACTER STUTTERS IN EVERY D*MN PARAGRAPH!
I would say give it a try if you don't have anything better to read and see if you like it, if you can tolerate the flaws it could be a good novel with lots of chapters.
Two questions
Is it completed?
Is there romance or just harem like other cultivation novels?
I remember reading the first few chapters and finding them particularly difficult to understand, I guess it's time to give it a second chance.
