Ruan Ning was exhausting, but I realize that she carried the plot progression. I loved that Mu Qing Ci got a better ending because all she did was eat and mind get business. She didn't deserve to suffer that kind of depression. Ting Zhou and Ruan Xi were adorable from beginning to end.

The side character women were miserable. I wished to see less of them every chapter. Their clumsy scheming combined with Ruan San niang's tireless s*upidity was a lot. And the Fourth Prince was so inconsequential, I kept forgetting he existed 😂

i think she is the luckiest person as shes given multiple chances of life, golden finger, and good lineage. However despite that, she is the dumbest transmigator ive ever seen. She instead of being grateful, she becomes audacious. She underestimates everyone just based on her being a transmigator from the future. She is so selfish and dont get me wrong, being selfish s needed for your own happiness, but she is a type of person that will be unhappy if others are happy, will be unhappy if everyone is happy, she just want herself to be happy and if others are happy but not her she will try to destroy that happiness. She really has this gift of making other people frustrated. She is a parasite through and through. If you find someone in real life like this, AVOID her asap.

I already read in the review that it's not the case for MC.

I'm not saying those vicious ladies were not at fault, I just really hate that they only put to blame on them without punishing the guy for causing that predicament. It's too heavy on the "women should be virtuous" even if husband has lots of concubines. Ironic enough, MC DIDN'T even have to face that fate yet the balls to look down on women who were under such situation.

there was a point in the story where MC's s*upid transmigrated sister talks about how as women we shouldn't be obligated to help out the clan and MC looked down on her because in that sister's mind, men should do the hard work while women should enjoy the benefits without doing anything. For MC, she believes since the clan raise them they ought to also help them too beside the guys.

Which is quite a backward believe, it should be that BOTH men and women shouldn't be obligated to help their clan just because they were raise as that is something the clan or the people who put them in this real world OUGHT to do.

And I hate that MC really just gloss over how their greedy father treated the daughters as items for marriage, not at all the same treatment as the sons. Even justifying that it all make sense for the clan's name and all the shanigans.

I honestly feel disappointed that despite being modern people, they not tackle about the injustice in the harem for the ladies but even support that kind of environment.

Then there's the segment of MC low key looking down on transmigrator doing business in the ancient times because "there was no need" to increase the money and then later on literally doing it and basking on the glory of doing such...

If they're going to make a story where everything except the character is normal, then don't blame me for thinking that the sister has a mental disorder.

Hands down that sister was dumb and did foolish things that would later just bite on her. It's because of this that I couldn't help but feel like this person might have ADHD or something similar which explains her social inadequacy and her having lots of random but specific knowledge about stuff.

And so as I read her getting used by others for her knowledge and having a sad ending, I couldn't help but think how this story is bullying someone mentally incapacitated and just feels disgusted seeing MC digging her grave. Even the people in modern world doesn't see any problem with her beyond that "she's s*upid".

the female lead is 15-16 years old when she marries the male lead and it grossed me out. Most of these kinds of stories will have a younger FL and I can understand that, but I don't think there needed to be s*x scenes between the leads. And whenever I would forget how young she was they would keep bringing it up.

She was a college student. But good GOD she was not allowed to have any brains at all in this novel other than just giving the emperor some cool invention from the future. Yes she is a jealous bit*h yes she envies for things far beyond her reach but she was just written as a brainless cannon fodder who cannot see a moment of happines from MC and I hated that. Those are her only personality, smart in inventions, jealous of anyone having a good life, shitty at making plans that it backfired badly on her, and her fear of the emporer. She's just a puppet for the author to speed the plot. I have placed higher hopes on her being much clever but no it was nothing but dust. I am just— sigh. With how much golden finger she has, I am dissatisfied with the execution that's all.
