Persuade With Reason

Description

In the quiet of the night, Jin Fei, with a serious expression, gazed at the city lights outside the window, the bustling traffic, and sighed deeply, filled with emotions. “I’ve lost my kingdom!”

Little Brother Jin held the book “Overbearing King Ye Pretty Wang Fei” and collapsed in a corner, crying. Ever since his sister went through a breakup with a terrible guy, she started falling ill, always fantasizing about being a powerful and elegant queen with both intelligence and martial skills.

There are rumors going around that Jin Fei is obsessed with vanity, failed to marry into a wealthy family, and got dumped by a man, making her too embarrassed to show her face in public.

Jin Fei: This can’t be true; I never rely on others for a living! My principle is to persuade people with reason!

I can already tell you that this is a novel is a long parody / satire on flipped gender roles and their expectations in society. If you can't lean into it, you're not gonna like this. It is a skit - the whole novel is. In that way it will be ridiculous and over the top in how the gender roles are reversed and how purposely Mary Sue the MC is. Imo it's intentional. That's how satire and parodies are - they are overly in your face so you don't... more>> miss the point : the obvious gender reversal and privilege - and the concept of feminism underlying it if we can accept women as the tough breadwinner just as much as men can be soft caring babies. "Be like a woman" "Be like a man" the book shows a reversal of what's expected to make you question what gender can be.

Unfortunately looking at some of the original Chinese comments for this novel... I don't think they get it. Or they hate the author has open minded values... Smh. This isn't for everyone literarily because it's in essence a novel-long snl skit. But I have a soft spot for this author so even tho the MC is very strong Mary Sue even for me lol, it's ok; I still enjoy this bc I understand the concept.

Updated: once you understand the ml's backstory, the novel becomes more meaningful. But it's a bit sloppy that you have to read the extra to get closure on her memories tho. Overall, not her best work but a thought-provoking writing exercise of a novel. <<less

It's an unusual but cliche trope, with a little bittersweet plot twist~
I definitely stayed for the tooth-aching sugary romance 🍭🍓🎂

Spoiler

The plot is a gender-reversed 'world' of only one person, the FL. What's so cool is that even though FL's thinking, words and actions do not conform to the 'normal, regular' world, she exudes nobility, honesty, open-mindedness and fairness in an open manner. Thus she was perceived as adorably chic and charming by all (men, women and children). 🫧🍃


It has a mystery plot because there was a "harassment & stalking" ongoing case. FL was super brave, strong and smart in facing these horrific pesterings.

Spoiler

FL and ML has a backstory known only to the ML. But FL was seduced by the ML's coquettish and bailian (white lotus) behaviours. ML was oversensitive to pain, but learnt to hide it (and cry secretly) since young.. And FL was an accomplished martial arts master who upholds justice. Both the leads live bravely in their own ways. In short, they complement each other so much, it was destined~ 🪷✨

[collapse]

I like the plot, and I absolutely love the characters. They are colourful and full of life. It seems fairy-tale like and kind of over the top, but it's humorous and entertaining all the same.. 🌈🌦️ Hope everyone has a good time eating watermelon reading 🍉😂
