Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Ruo Xi is a stubborn, feisty lady who has no qualms talking back to princes and brawling with princesses. Even Emperor Kang Xi teases her with the nickname “the thirteenth missy who tries her damnedest”. This very same girl was originally just your average white-collared worker in modern bustling Shen Zhen but due to some cosmic slip, she manages to travel centuries back in time. Along with her knowledge on how history eventually pans out, she finds herself embroiled in court intrigues. She knows she shouldn’t be swept up in the power struggle but she can’t help herself because this involves the ones she love as well as the ones who love her. Thus, she can only forge ahead cautiously, step by startling step …

It is often a risk writing a story with a first person perspective because it is limiting and sometimes boring but this novel manages to pull it off. It gives an intimate tale of a modern woman who suddenly wakes up in ancient China. She is scared, lost, misses her old life and, at the same time, she must learn to adapt to her new situation learning how to dress, how to address nobility and reading/writing old Chinese. What really sets it apart from other novels of the same genre is the realistic and down-to-earth feeling of what it really meant being a woman back in the past. There is no idol prince who will only love you and will choose you over everything. A woman in the past, especially if born in a noble family, had little control over her life, at any moment she could be ordered by the emperor to get married to a stranger or to enter the palace becoming one of his countless concubines dying slowly in a golden cage. Even when she managed to get married to someone she liked, she had to compromise, sharing him with other women. So, don't expect a typical romance, there are sweet moments but they are drowned by the hard reality. The title "Startling by each step" couldn't be more appropriate, Ruoxi lives all her life constantly paying attention to her steps, she has to think twice before speaking, she has to be careful in her work as tea maid in order not to displease an emperor whose mood Is always changing, every action must be thought over. I also like to consider the title's meaning from another point of view: each step made by Ruoxi sets her future, from small seemingly irrelevant actions like, for example when she pays more attention to the 4th prince because she knows from history he will become the emperor but that leads him to believe she is romantically interested in him, to bigger actions such as her stubborn refusal to plan her future blindly believing/hoping she could escape the palace life. I could say so much more, but the review will be too long, suffice to say I recommend this novel to people who wants a more realistic and maybe sad take on the transmigration genre which is fulfilling and so emotional.
