really nice, kind, more light-hearted cultivation story with a lot of dog food and no dog-blood drama

amazing; it is kinda long (for a novel in general, for ancient china novels it is pretty short) but nothing felt unnecessary - the few... more>> moments that nothing major happened were needed so that the reader didn't tire out; really nice rebirth/revenge/romance drama, I liked how the antagonists mostly just fell into their own traps; the mc has a pretty tragic life in her last life and was formed and matured through that, ml and mc have really good chemistry and I love the build-up of their relationship; It is also pretty emotional at times and especially the dream where mc found out about everything that happened left me with kind of complex feelings. Definitely recommend checking it out :) <<less

I actually really really like this story, but... the little parts with h*mophobia and the fact that gay s*x is used as a form of... more>> torture and only has negative connotations here... come on guys, we can do so much better than that :(btw, really would have liked seeing them with a little bun TTother than the point above, it's a solid 4.6 for me; really funny, I love the switch in the typical gender roles, ml is a damn angel, and mc's and ml's relationship is absolutely amazing <<less

around a 4.5 (?), I quite enjoyed it but I wasn't completely captivated by the story, some parts weren't exactly to my tastes (age difference,... more>> in*est(?), pe*ophilia(?), ml not leaving mc a choice when she didn't really want to start a romantic relationship and him invalidating all her concerns by calling them cute instead of seriously sitting down with her,...), revenge was only carried out when necessary and was still quite lenient when compared to other stories, I would have liked to get some ending scene to mirror the prologue <<less

i don't know if I really like the mc and ml that much...

pretty good; however, I sometimes think that the author should have made this either a really fluffy novel without cruelty, or they should have created a better balance regarding the viciousness of certain characters - now it's a mixture of both and kind of odd at times. Li Song, the emperor, and Wei Luo's mother also really made me mad with their inconsistent and hypocritical behavior...... more>>

Overall, the story is pretty cute with plenty of fluffy moments and revenge exacted on all necessary parties. I like that Wei Luo most of the time wasn't the one to exact the revenge, since it would be illogical for her to be a genius at scheming like Shen Miao for example because she only lived as a village girl in her last life.  <<less

...nice, it is a nice mixture of romance, smut, drama, comedy, and tragedy and no component is overwhelming any of the others, this makes it... more>> good; however, it also ensures that it won't be perfect and will solidly stand at 4 stars for me <<less

4.5/5; very much an easygoing, slice-of-life, cooking novel, what really impressed me were the interpersonal relationships (especially the storyline of the second households couple), but... more>> I found it kind of weird how none of the concubines or their children of the second household or of mc's maiden household ever had any real appearances in the story (they were only mentioned as cause for conflict bc the man wasn't faithful to the wife) <<less
