Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

She was the illegitimate daughter of the Gu family from N City, and a gloomy coward in everyone’s eyes.

She was an unparalleled genius in the finance world, controlling the market as if she could foresee the future.

She was an inheritor of ancient medical arts, healing wounds and growing flesh on bones with a single golden needle.

A legend in the ancient martial artist world, the goddess of the entertainment industry, a master of Chinese arts…

She was dazzling and talented, but also cool, calculating and aloof!

Her origins were a mystery…

As her origins are slowly uncovered, see how she takes up responsibility, and writes a brilliant page in history!

In her past life, she was reduced to an abandoned daughter by her family, and now that she was reborn, she’ll do all she can to change the fate of her and the ones she cares about, showing off and dealing with her enemies like flies on the way.

He was mysterious and dignified, an enigma who was the strongest in the ancient martial arts world.

He was the leader of a mysterious organization in China, killing cold-bloodedly without batting an eyelash.

When the cool and enigmatic meets the cold-blooded, watch the show unfold!

“Miss, I see there is a shadow on your forehead, and there shall be misfortune in your future.”

“…Let me tell you now, that is my mommy and not yours, so you better not appear in front of her! It’s extremely easy for me to make a person disappear in this city….”

Not soon after, a certain beautiful Miss Gu stood in front of her with a smile. “I’ve never even looked that family of yours in the eye, but…This Imperial Capital is my territory!”

Mr. Jiang’s quotes:

You’re in charge of being pretty and having a good time, I’m in charge of providing for the family.

I like her, not someone that looks like her, nor someone that acts like her. I won’t like anyone if it’s not her!

If you bully her, I will…Destroy this world…

TLDR: The female lead’s road to greatness after getting a system by accident.

This series was intresting for the first 150 chapters, with an OP female lead who is basically the jack of all trades and a lot of faceslapping moments, the ML-FL interactions are cute and funny, the character development is good and an intresting and fast progressing plot

What I do find problematic are the chapters from 150 upward, which are basically a chinese nationalist's wet dream, with the main idea being : china is the greatest, strongest, with the smartest people (FL and co), all other nations are worthless, they have... more>> basically beg and walk on eggshells and quake in their boots for fear of offending china.

There's also the usual china/japan hatred that you can feel oozing from the author's writing (with the subjugation of japan of course) that is basically mandatory in every contemporary chinese novel...

The third problem is the braindead fans of the FL that are basically present in every chapter starting chapter 250 (I think) , with the author repeating the awed reaction of the crowds in EVERY. SINGLE. CHAPTER.

Anyway, Dnfed this at chapter 340, I could not stand the repetition anymore (I'm actually lowkey amazed by myself for lasting that long lol)

Anyway, sorry for the long rant 😏 <<less

I've dropped this story a lot of times before because for me the first part is quite boring contrary to what others think. I managed to endure the first part as I finally gained interest into continue reading the story in about 30+ chapters. If not for me running out of stories to read I would've never tried to persist reading this story. Thankfully, my time wasn't wasted as the story is quite entertaining and because this is my favorite type of stories, I'm quite biased in giving a review.

It's... more>> honestly worth 3/5 stars but I've decided to give it 5 stars because I managed to finish the story even though I'm the type who immediately drops a story whenever bored.

But of course you should never let the reviews change your mind. If you're thinking of reading this then do try reading it as we all have our own opinion. I definitely recommend reading this first for 30 or so chapters before deciding dropping it. <<less

This was one of the very first chinese novels that I read and I remembered really liking it. But, as I read more and more chinese novels similar to this, I realized that it wasn't as great as I thought it was.

I like the FL and the way she deals with her enemies but eh, I found her slightly annoying in the middle of the story because of her "laziness" and nonchalant attitude to most of her problems. As for the Ml, I don't like him but I don't hate... more>> him either so he's okay, I guess.

About the plot, I enjoyed it until they got to the supernatural stuffs. I don't hate it at first but the storyline got messier until I don't really know what's going on anymore. And to be honest, I was getting pretty tired because the story was getting repetitive.

Well, I finished the novel anyway and it was pretty good but the ending was pretty confusing. I would rate this a 3.9. <<less

The starting of the book was great but as the story progressed I felt like just skimming through it. Too much of fantasy in terms of Nations of the world made me laugh too loud, but it's present in every other Chinese novels out there.

Too much of detailed and exaggerated reactions of side characters and detailed explanation of FL's intelligence and wits. -_- it gets annoying at the end.

My favourite character of the books were xixi, jiji and haha xD

3.5 stars

The story started out great. I came here to read a novel with an OP female MC and I got what I was looking for. She's VERY OP. She's perfect and everybody likes her. I generally enjoyed reading this. [I dropped this after c363]

The downsides:

  • As she collects her fans and friends across all communities, the story starts getting boring and repetitive. Every scene ends with people explaining how awesome and powerful she is. The author just keeps paraphrasing the same dialogue throughout the story.
  • There's very few female characters who are excellent on their own. I can only remember Xiao Yun and Cecily as female friends who are also outstanding. The rest of the powerful/influential people on her friends list are men. There's a lot of influential male characters - like A LOT.
  • The amount of patriotism content this novel has: I can't say much about that, but the amount it has makes me roll my eyes while reading.
  • The romance is so bland. It's so dull that I can't even consider it as a subplot. Basically, they live together early on in the story and they gradually act as a couple as the chapters progress. The most of the 'romance' we get here is how they immediately "light up" the moment they see each other.

The plot of the novel was great at the beginning of the story, but, agreeing to the other reviews, seemed to get repetitive and boring after about 150 chapters.

Other than that, the translation and character development is great, and the ML and MC have many fluffy moments, but the the MC is good at everything which honestly gets annoying and doesn't make way for any plot development.

This novel honestly deserves 3 stars.

So far I only read up to 120+ chapter before I keep skipping some chapter. I stopped skipping chapter after 200+. All I can say is, it was not my cup of tea.

The plot is quite interesting. MC rebirth then take revenge. Uncover some mysteries and met ML

The characters is quite good as well. MC is a jack of all trades while ML is a master. Its fine that it was slow romance but I think the relationship progress TOO slow.

But how the story goes is the problem for me.... more>> I don't know if the chapters is written that way on purpose or not but its going segway in every turn. It made my head hurts. Too much information, too much thinking needed. I can't read this book for leisure. <<less

I got to shortly after 200, and it’s just boring. There’s really no communication between the FL and the ML. He treats her like a child. She doesn’t really have like, her own goal/motivation. Sure she gets missions and whatever, but something that she wants herself she just doesn’t. She constantly blocks everyone so they can’t contact her, it’s just really annoying honestly. I was expecting a lot more from it since in the beginning it was pretty good.
Spoiler

I know it’s a slow romance, but like come on. They kiss, they hug. It’s even said “we both know each other’s feelings” like. Y’all need better communication, y’all supposed to be grown. When one is mad they just choose to ignore it or change the subject. SMH.

It kept me entertained for a while, but, the MC is frankly quite boring. Apart from her struggles with her family, she doesn't come across any issues or any plot that would help her mature as a person. It's one of those typical vain novels where it's obvious the author must be insecure from how they never get tired of describing the beauty of the MC. The UNPARALLELED skill of the MC. Every single chapter. Many times, the POV will switch to others where they're admiring the MC, then it... more>> says something like, "Meanwhile the subject of admiration is currently..."

Some of the Chinese people are brainwashed with propaganda, and it's painfully obvious in this story. All foreigners are described in a bad light where they look down on China, then get squished like flies (not too uncommon in these plots). They all have the same 1 monotone personality. I personally think China is cool and they've had plenty of achievements in midst of all the bad, just like any other country. But I probably wouldn't want to hang out with someone that has a narrow worldview like this author.

They don't treat animals well in the story, and they constantly have dialogues between themselves that aren't funny. I don't know why I read for this long. I wasn't sure whether to put it at 2 or 3, but it got a bonus point for making me read until this point. <<less

It was interesting at the start, really interesting, but it soon fell down. Like the story made no sense anymore, the characters were not interesting. You can enjoy the read if you skim through the chapters quickly. Each chapter was way too long. I'm dropping this around 200S

General: 9/10

Great story, good translation, happy ending. Chapters are long, in regular novel it would be at least twice the number of chapters.

Translation: 9/10

... more>> Plot:

+ rebirth (and a twist near the end)

+ tragic past

+ OP female lead in a way that is super OP, yet not annoying

+ malicious half-sister and karma (which is not the main focus of the novel, so don't expect full 390+ chapters of dealing with an annoying s*upid villain)

+ very well written side characters

+ amazing, funny and cute interactions between pets

Spoiler

great shoutout to the author who made me cry thinking Haha died in the epilogue just to mention Haha being brought back by ML

[collapse]

+ fast paced

+ will re-read it next year

+/- OP characters (not annoying, just expect geniuses. A lot of geniuses)

+/- some inconsistencies regarding almost blind worship of FL (sometimes I get it - if somebody solves a difdicult situation and saves my life, I would worship them. But when it comes to people who just look at her face or hear one sentence from her, it doesn't make a lot of sense)

- we don't get full explanation on Baili Wenxi <<less

356/398

Personally this is a 3.5 🌟 for me but I'm clicking 4 bec I think the general rating is too low. It still has it's own merits.

I know I'm almost there and I could've persisted just for the sake of finishing it BUT I don't feel like it. I actually have a good impression due to the summary and the title itself. I thought this is just some modern business+talent related story who needs the MC to follow the so called 'system' in fulfilling some stuff. Who would've thought that... more>> this is some type of xianxia/xuan stuff. Even though it's going in a whole lot different direction from my expectation I kept going bec it still entertained me.

About the characters:

1. FL- she's talented, smart, and hardworking. Her skills and talent is broad and her reach is also wide. I don't dislike anything from her in particular.

2. ML- the typical cold and strong ML who's only warm with his woman and by extension, friends and family.

3. Pets- I really really like the pets. I find them so funny. I laughed a lot reading their interactions.

The deal breaker for me is the freaking amnesia. That was so out of place. I think it's unnecessary. Well, I wouldn't know the relevance since I'm dropping it but I just think that it came out of nowhere. The road to the great calamity was dragging and there were times when I felt like it could've been the right timing to put it but the author just have to insert a lot of filler events and characters. It's okay if it entertains you but as for me it was just dragging. <<less

It was interesting for a bit, it seems that around chapter 90 to 100 the translator either changed, or the author forgot how the MC was created. She started out as a white lotus type on the outside, maintaining manners and politeness, she even starts out the story and continuously lets the family that killed her in her past life, get away with shit, like trying to get her gangr*ped and kidnapped etc. Yet after chapter 100, the MC's personality completely changes and becomes a typical domineering CEO type, going... more>> around hurting people for very minor things and it gets progressively worse as the character becomes more petty and intent on hurting others as the story goes on. We learn at some point she has a step-brother, yet around chapter 190 she tells her long lost relatives (actual mother) 'I have no family.' I'm sure it was meant to be towards the mother but she actually included the step-brother whom she donated bone marrow for earlier in the story in that statement and it shows how the mentality of the MC just went from "I care about those who are good to me and hate those who aren't" to "f*ck everyone I'ma do what I want." - I think perhaps this was supposed to be a gradual change, as in 'character development' but it happened so abruptly that I triple checked I was still reading the same story when the MC commit her first out-of-character action.

Anyway - I got bored of reading this at chapter 205 and went to read something else, came back and had no interest in continuing to read it so I dropped it. It's alright I suppose, not good, not bad. Beginning is good enough, but after chapter 100, just don't bother- you've read it before in any hundred other Chinese novels. <<less

It’s a good book, with pretty fine characters and character development. I love the dynamics between ML and FL. It’s not all ‘I love you’s’ or ‘I’ll die for you’ kinda clichè love, they literally show their affection through their actions. It’s not sure when they fell in love with each other but it’s like it naturally happened and both accepted it without any qualms. Well now we get our mary sue MC, but it’s kind of justified because she spent years inside her system, if she didn’t gather that... more>> much of knowledge in hundreds of years then I don’t know what kind of MC she’ll be. So ya I deducted the last star because the ending was very abrupt and hurried. I as a reader didn’t had time to digest what was going on-. So, overall it’s a pretty good read with likeable MC, and cold yet loveable Ml, and I love Mc’s superpowers. Haha! So amazing! <<less

I loved how the the story doesn't drag on and quickly solves the problems that pop up. However, there were several plot holes and many things weren't explained. I would have liked to know more about the FL and ML's backstory since it was just skimmed through. It never really explained how the FL was abandoned and how her mother forgot about her existence. It was just summed up as it being part of a scheme. And the ending was a bit weird too. How did the FL survive? She... more>> just suddenly came back. The extra story at the end was also baffling to me. I couldn't really understand it. <<less
