the author did this in her next novel too but why TF is she so obsessed with writing about rebirth in diff povs for their past life in the extras. She literally is rehashing the same plot. Wtf why do I need to see her aggravated about her past life marriage and reborn AGAIN when that was the plot of this WHOLE f*ckIN NOVEL. MY GOD nobody cares about that anymore bc we all know BY NOW BY THE END OF THE BOOK that it was just bc of a lack of communication in their marriage that the ML didn't treat her well enough. I literally have no emotional care for her aggravation for this past life AGAIN WHEN WE ALREADY KBOW WHY OMG and DEALT WITH IT. This extra is like the bad draft of this novel that her editor told her not to go with or something bc holy shit. I don't care enough about the author's obvious plan to write dogblood. This is the most dogblood in this entire novel. Should I be glad it's just an extra or.... Why can she not let us see who the children will marry??? Like wtf

I understand where ML is coming from his emotions and how he adjusts to the marriage arrangement are valid they are both very young perhaps for ancients 15 or 18 teens are adult but still having to marry because your father (the father is the most realistic and coolest person his self awareness and emotional IQ is really eyeopener he is no bay guy) wants money and a girl who is marrying really high up these circumstances definitely would not yield a good marriage but here they both live their own lives without proper communication she is too timid and he is too cold to show concern (in the first timeline), he didn't cheat on her and...

he doesn't take the cousin as a concubine in both timelines so no worries he just wanted to give her a shelter but FL fights with him for the first time that causes them to open up

FL is a realistic person. She made do with what she already have and tried to improve her life by making herself happy. This in turn changed everyone else's approach to her (everyone can see she's happier, so there is admiration).

ML is an icy wooden block who doesn't seem to communicate well through speech, except when he's in bed with the FL. He seems to do everything (especially showing love to the FL) silently. This leeads to many minsunderstandings and miscommunications.

There were a lot of grievances that the FL and ML able to avoid in their second (and third?) lives. So they were able to live smoothly and happily.

. What I found a bit confusing was his "reincarnation" "return to the past" the reason is not explained, it is true that in many novels you do not explain them either but they give you clues as to where the origin can go, in this case the FL is not even She doubts if it was a dream, even ten years later the FL is sure that she lived that life, and if so, it makes me wonder what happened to her in the other life, will she have managed to prevent the ML from taking a concubine? Or that the ML be more sincere with the Fl? Why in the other life he proposed to take his cousin as a concubine while she refused, but of course since they didn't get along very well then surely the FL resented him and only cared about her son leaving ML aside, uqe like he wasn't very good at expressing his feelings he wouldn't have cared. Another point that left me baffled was how the FL used his memories to have some future events on his side, something very badly played, sometimes the author made FL see as a superheroine who was given the gift to change the things, and sometimes that clashed with the way of thinking of the Fl, according to her, the FL didn't care that the ML took a concubine, but when the arc arrived, it almost fell apart, trying to align the Ml, that she was more rebellious in his youth, but he never put a stop to Ji xianxia, ​​who sometimes really deserved a stop. I also felt strange how no event in the future was affected, although you know what will happen but since you already know everything that will happen something should have changed, that is, since she woke up back to 10 years in the past some of future events without her intervention should have been omitted, due to the simple fact that she already changed her personality, everyone around her should also have done so for better or worse. Now I'll talk about the emperor, one of the reasons I read this novel was because I read that it had one of the best emperors, I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no, Ml's father is contradictory, sometimes he loves his children sometimes he can't stand not even seeing them, the father of the ML knew that if the first son was a complete idiot, if it hadn't been for the mother of the first son, he wouldn't have let him be the crown prince, a terrible idea, why if he had been the emperor First son, he would have led the country to ruin, and alienated his brothers, he couldn't stand that they were better than him, the only one who could control him was his mother, if she died, then there would be no one to listen to and he would have made a disaster throughout the kingdom, the emperor did not deeply analyze his first son, he thought that with his mother being by his side everything would be fine, but the first thing happens, the mother dies and the first son is left with no one to advise him, causing his attitude is seen less and less virtuous and its deficiencies are seen something easy to notice, that is one of the reasons why I think the emperor was not so apt, another was that the emperor was very good at judging, he pointed out the deficiencies of each son, and each deficiency of each son came from the bad upbringing of the emperor, the ML is the son that the emperor loved the most, he really loved his father, he admired him, but if he wanted to be noticed he had to be the best, and so that? If it weren't for the Fl, his father would not have wanted him close to the hypocrite that in the end the emperor realizes that the ML was the son who loved him the most, the emperor, although he filled his mouth that he loved his children and grandchildren, he was also the first to drive them away, about his concubines, the emperor in the end who loved his first wife the most, it hurt me that he only realized it when she defended the castle alone, if it wasn't that sure it would be he was divorcing her, or as he spoke of my mother, when he only saw her for the first time he took her the next day to be his concubine and then he forgot about her only because her character was not very flirtatious and she did not have much knowledge, this leaves me wondering why the ML loved his father so much?

I'm so glad the eldest brother Wei Yang died before he could become the emperor. He was not a wise pick at all. The way he was already thinking about how the ML would have to listen to him and be under his command was the ultimate sign that he was gonna be a bad emperor who tries to get rid of him because he's scared of the power he holds. He got exactly what he deserved.
