The author conveyed the changing feelings of the characters quite well.

I like how the MC and her husband can (eventually) understand each other’s intentions without outright discussion... The MC actually had to put in a lot of effort from the start to gradually gain his respect so it’s gratifying that he’s smart enough to notice

They’re both very cunning but don’t try to interfere within the other’s domain (territory? XD). I feel that together they have no real competition, a true power couple!

I love this story so much. Totally worth 5/5! QQJ is my current favorite character that has gone to the past. I love her thinking and the way she views stuff. The male lead is also to my taste

This was a nice-light read. My only complaint is that the last 20 or so chapters felt like they were made just to drag on the story. This novel had a strong start but a kind of weak latter half/ending. Giving it a 5 to bump up the rating since I believe this should be 4.6/4.7

A charming story sets in a country with similar characteristics to ancient China. A dancer was transported from the modern era to the body of a neglected prince’s wife. She subsequently disciplined her husband’s concubines and servants, also charmed her husband, in-laws, and lots other that interact with her. No overpowered character here, but every role fleshed out beautifully in an extremely enticing plot.

The main couple are passionate lovers, but they are smart, rational, and manipulative; give birth to many behind-the-scene plots that we as the reader may get the... more>> gist of it but not all the facts. That was one of the most attractive point of this novel, aside of many others that no review can do justice to it. <<less

The play of words in the interactions between characters in this novel is amazing that it gives justice to 'looking underneath the underneath'. The growing romance between the MC and her husband provides the 'feels' and the underlying political machinations that's happening around them gives the suspense. Encountering the pinyin might give a little bit trouble to some readers at first but it also provides better insight to the historical and cultural aspects of this novel. Overall, this is an amazing read and is recommended to those who wants a... more>> more realistic female-reincarnation-transported-another-world-talented-skilled-smart MC. <<less

No supernatural powers, No fantasy like setting. Just good ole ancient china. The characters are developed extremely well. The translated decided to keep a few things in pinyin but that shouldn't deter you from checking this story out, as it actually gives it more character. It's a nice story that will still you have you at the edge of the seat at times thinking to yourself "Whats going to happen next?".

I Highly recommend this novel if your looking for a nice romance and political schemes novel.
