Delicate Flower

"The Pei clan, the Pei clan, the illustrious Peipei clan. What have the Peis been up to? How is their situation? Oh no, the patriarch of the Pei family has passed away! We're deeply saddened. We must急于讨好 the Pei clan. Who holds the reins there? We need to uncover the complete family lineage of the Peis. The Peipei Peipei clan... Who's that man in blue? I want to know everything about him! Why won't anyone share this information? He's from the Pei family!"

"Can anyone enlighten me on who the Pei family is? And why should I care? Are they royalty on a grand scale, perhaps even the ruling dynasty of the cosmos? I've forgotten the main character's surname, but the Pei family has certainly stuck with me!"

The novel seems intriguing, but unfortunately, the pacing is dreadfully slow, especially the romantic aspect, which doesn't appeal to me. I'd rate about 40% of each chapter as having unnecessary or irrelevant dialogue, contributing to the拖沓 storyline. For now, I've decided to put it aside. There are also frustrating elements where the main character fails to deduce important details despite the obvious clues. She constantly relies on the male lead, even though they're not close, which makes her seem weak and overly dependent, like a damsel in distress. Another annoyance is her constant complaint about people talking about the Pei family; it's clear from the narrative that she's the one bringing up their names and preoccupying herself with them, which is amusing in a frustrating way.

I genuinely adore this novel. It starts off at a leisurely pace, gradually introducing us to the protagonist, Yu Tang, and her family dynamics. Since she's an only child with doting parents, there's no internal family drama. However, her sheltered upbringing makes her vulnerable to manipulations later in life.重生后，她学会了变得更聪明、坚定，懂得为自己发声。我喜欢她并非无所不能，虽然她凭借前世的记忆有时能预知一些事情，但仍会面临意外和犯错，这让人感觉更真实。男主角也是我的菜，他内敛而深情，有点傲娇的反差萌，两人之间的互动充满趣味。他们的爱情发展得很自然，与情节相得益彰。阅读这部小说需要慢慢品味，值得一试哦！（更新：读完后）我花了挺长时间才读完，因为我想细细品味，而不是一气呵成。读完后，我深有感触地体会到那句老话：“我嫁给了我的好朋友。”Yutang和男主角的感情确实经历了漫长的过程，从陌生人到讨厌，再到容忍，成为朋友，最后是彼此依赖和深爱。他们的感情展现了爱情的各种面貌，最终学会了接受并全心信任对方，无论发生什么。一生一世一双人，两颗心永远相守。我一定会再读英文版来回味这个甜蜜而动人的故事，配角们的插科打诨也让我捧腹大笑。

I haven't completed reading the novel yet, but I'm puzzled by how someone could give it a one-star rating right after it was posted on NovelUpdates. Initially, I stumbled upon it shortly after its upload and added it to my list. Upon checking back, I noticed the surprising one-star rating without any reviews. While individual opinions vary, I believe it's unfair to judge so harshly without proper feedback. So far, my experience with the translated version (Machine Translation) has been decent, aside from a few sentences that cause a headache – that's on me for choosing MT. That's all I wanted to say.

I rate this novel 5 stars and believe it truly deserves such a high accolade. The translation is commendable too. The only遗憾是它未能完整翻译，尽管我试图寻找其他版本，但MTL译本并不让我十分放心，因此我不确定能否坚持读完。

回到故事本身，我最喜欢的角色是女主角，她是个重生之人。她的性格新颖独特，既聪明又天真，作者对这个角色塑造得很出色。在前生中，由于无知和出身带来的不幸，她经历了欺骗、算计和背叛，但她始终能在某种程度上保护自己，以体面的方式结束前生，尽管最后还是遇害。这一世，她虽然寻求复仇，但并未将此作为主要目标，而是专注于为自己和所爱的人寻找更好的未来。她的成长过程充满教训，使她在面对过去无法理解的事物时有了更深的理解。她并非强大或完美，但作为一个读者，我非常欣赏她的可爱和成长。

男主角通常被描述为冷静且聪明的类型，他有许多吸引人的特质。他是一个专注于女主角，且生活能力出众的天才，用"吾等生来享乐"来形容再合适不过了。在情感方面，他们的关系稳定而平淡，没有复杂的三角关系或重要对手，男主角的存在主要是为了保护女主角。后期章节更多关注政治和家族事务。

剧透：

婚后，大部分时候都是男主角处理问题，聚焦于他的家族和挑战。这让我有些失望，尽管女主角有较多出场，但她的剧情有时显得单调。尽管如此，整体上还是不错的。

剧透：

有一个情节也触动了我，涉及李家和女主角的恩怨。起初，我以为这是一个有趣的故事背景，但随着阅读深入，我对反派的行为感到越来越荒谬。他们不惜一切代价只为一幅画作让女主角受苦，无论是前世还是今生，他们的动机都很牵强。比如，他们可以轻易通过其他方式获取那幅画，而不是逼迫余家。林俊得到画作的情节让我为故事中的反派智商感到悲哀。在前世，他们追求巅峰，但为何要强迫儿子娶一个名不见经传且父母已逝的女子？这对他们未来毫无益处，而通过其他途径结婚可能会带来更大的利益。他们为何对此如此执着，这让我感到困惑。遇到彭十一时，你可能会更生气。

我尝试阅读了MTL版本，但糟糕的翻译让人更加沮丧，因为故事似乎并未结束，我不清楚是否有第二季或其他结局。这让我深感失望。

I adore my wild and unpredictable MLs, but it's unexpectedly delightful to witness a connection develop more naturally. It's a gradual progression, as there hasn't been any romantic advances by chapter 161. What's also pleasing is that the FL isn't overly powerful, breaking the mold of typical Mary Sue characters. Although I'm drawn to those types, this story serves as a delightful break from the norm. I'll definitely savor it chapter by chapter, allowing the relationship to unfold gradually.

To be honest, I really adore this book, but I find the pacing a bit sluggish. The multitude of characters is quite overwhelming; it becomes challenging to distinguish between them and keep track of the plot. The female lead, though lovely - with her beauty, shyness, gentleness, and charm - hasn't had much romantic development after 100 chapters. The male lead practically vanishes for around 200 chapters, with even the focus on food and farming scenes outnumbering his appearances. Unfortunately, there's no official translation beyond that point, so readers need to rely on machine translation.

Despite these issues, I must admit that the novel continues to captivate me. The author's attention to detail and realistic portrayal of characters and settings are commendable. So, despite the pacing and character management, I'm still invested in reading on.

I concur with the point about the book being lengthy. There were definitely sections that could have been tightened up, but the core storyline and character development between the protagonists were commendable. Overall, it provided a decent reading experience. Despite its title, "Delicate Flower," the female lead (FL) displays strength and strategic thinking, prioritizing her family's well-being. She's an impressive FL, and I appreciate how the male lead (ML) acknowledges her capabilities and allows her autonomy, guiding her gently when needed. He's not overbearing, which is a refreshing change from typical domineering MLs.

While the FL possesses admirable qualities, she may lack charisma and business acumen, leading to some reliance on the ML due to their different backgrounds. This is reasonable considering their circumstances. The FL is self-aware of this shortcoming. In summary, a solid read, albeit stretched out at times.
