This is a farming 80's story. In return for using the original owner's body, MC had to take care of her family but she just patted her bu*t after her marriage with the ML and lived a girlboss life. I'm sure her parents are living well, so is her brother bec the sister in law is also a girlboss entrepreneur. Everyone is living a good life except for the spoiled little sister who dared to pursue higher education in the city. In the end, she became pregnant out of wedlock and was cheated on by her long time crush. Where was the MC in all of these? Who knows, we just know that she's the only one who attended the wedding with the scumbag. Bravo to her. And she was indeed good to the little sister by tolerating her. But u don't become a good older sister by being nice to your younger siblings. You need to guide them, discipline them if need be. The original owner wanted her family safe and living well. That includes the little sister!!! I mean sure, an ordinary person couldn't really do anything to pry a loving couple apart but the MC is a mary sue who's lived thousands of years. She was even able to seduce the ML thru a f*cking picture (she put spiritual power in it). She downplays the power of what she did by saying it just made the ML feel comfortable seeing her picture. But the ML here is a very in demand bachelor living miles away. But she was able to make him come home and marry her. She definitely had the power to vet the scumbag husband of her little sister and prevent her from having the ending she did. The ending just pissed me off so much that it carried over to the next arc.

This is an entertainment story of a pure girl wanting a big break in showbiz. The original owner had an ex who dumped her so he can climb over other ppl and help his career. The og owner wanted to end the career of the scumbag so the MC used her magic powers to make the ex spill abt his drug use (so convenient). Then the ML was making a point how ppl shouldn't rely on connections to climb up. However, MC's career is basically a result of using connections. She was a fricking extra who had a chance to play a little supporting role bec of connections. She signed to a nice company bec of connections. Ofc there is no s*x involved bec she's pure and innocent and very unique. Instead, she's using romance. Ofc the hypocrisy is not very obvious and I know there is a limitation in the length of QT arc. But I dont like it when cannon fodders get punished for doing the same/similar thing.

I was really confused, when I first read the chapter one cause I don't remember much of the reviews I read when I found it.

Anyways, I just want to applaud the author for the not changing the behavior of the original owner and rather retained it when the FL transmigrate on Du Baoqin's body. Also, by always calling her Jiang Rui than DBQ's name, cause it just shows that FL is the owner of the body now and not necessarily she is DBQ.

Also, this arc was quite realistic for me. I just love how the characters are not necessarily good and bad.

For example, FL's mom, the first part of the arc shows how she was set on marrying FL's younger sister with a quite well-off family. Looking at it at different kind of perspective, it can be wrong but also had a good reason behind it. I mean, as a mother who already experienced the hardship of life, she would, of course, want the best for their child. But there were two choices, let her study for college or marry a well off family, both for her is good but the latter is much more plausible for than the first. Which is why she ended up marrying the FL than the younger one making it a win-win situation.

It's all good when you think about it, but looking at other perspective like FL's sister in law's one, she thinks they were quite biased in the younger sister. Who wouldn't? Even the original owner of the body has a potential but she chose to let go of that because of her younger sister who was so-called 'much more intelligent' than her. Also, adding the fact that what if she married a bad family right? Good thing that didn't happen tho.

In addition, I would like to add how the author tells how every characters thinks. It wasn't just simply thoughts that doesn't have sense rather it shows how a person's background could affects the way they think. For example, the FL's sister in law thinks that it's better to marry someone near you than one that might be having good pay but can't even accompany you.

Adding to that, novel really shows how different kind of love perseveres, like the FL's sister in law's love with her brother it a kind of in-sickness-and-in-poor love, the one with the DBQ of relenting everything for her family and her unrequited love with the younger sister's crush, the younger sister's type of rushing-towards-you type of love. I'm having hard time explaining but in simple words love can be told in different ways.

I might want to add, Du Baoqin's character is quite pitiful, I mean, even in death she just wish on the FL to look after her family, in the end they only realize her importance when the FL married. Also, I'm quite shock how the younger sister's ending was, I mean I'm kind of expecting a bad end but just expecting it to be much more complicated, now I'm curious what happened to her even more.

Anyways, the story is like a shortened version of every 80's setting type of story I read, wherein the FL tried to changed their fate (well in this case it's different tho the FL want to help ML's soul) and ended up being either a business woman, a famous person, or a like in this story a part of fashion industry with matching ML that is either a future successful business man, a man with a bad background of a landlord, or a soldier.

I just realized in this arc that unlike other QT novel, in this novel the FL doesn't have the same name as the original owner which gives more.. I guess uniqueness to it?

Anyways, this is such a cute arc. I really like how the author did not make a difference between the original body's behavior and the FL after occupying the body.

Also, I might as well add how we see more of the FL's real character in this arc. She's quite a writer and a cunning person in this arc. Maybe you're wondering why writer?

Well, when you read the story, the FL made the encounter between her and the ML as authentic as possible. As if that would natural occurance even if she's not occupying the original owner's body. I mean that's how I see it.

Lastly, I wonder is it really required for the ML to go first whenever their life end in every arc?🤔

I dunno I just feel so sad that the FL seems always have to wait for the ML to go first.

It's not yet translated but I just want to make a little review about how the FL ask for like permission and the owner's wish before transmigrating in their body is so respectful. And tells us that FL did not just simply replace the real person but rather ask permission for it.

Anyways, I'm a little bit lazy to read in MTL of this story, so maybe I'll just wait for the translation first.

Edit: Done reading it.

At first, I really didn't quite like this arc, as I was (maybe) accustomed to the ML of the previous arcs. It's good actually but I didn't really feel the essence of this arc, maybe it got something to do with how the scum ex didn't have that satisfying face-slapping moments.
