    The initial portion of the novel is primarily focused on providing details about the protagonist's background and her efforts to escape the original's tragic outcome. The male lead's (ML) introduction is more of a serendipitous encounter. Initially, he doesn't play a significant role in the first part, mainly until his character evolves beyond being naive. The story revolves around the female lead (FL)'s journey to evade the antagonist and reclaim her dowry, which she had previously stolen from her grandmother.

    I'm currently reading a book with 55 chapters, but I'm stuck at Chapter 22 due to the intense frustration it causes. The main character's lack of self-defense and justice leaves me boiling with anger. The plot feelspredictable and annoyingly so, as I eagerly await her to stand up for herself, but she consistently disappoints. It's challenging to root for her as a protagonist because of the excessive self-abuse. As a reader, I'm left feeling mad and impatient, despite knowing there will eventually be a turnaround.

    The translation quality, however, is excellent. Here's a brief summary of the story up to Chapter 22:

    Our male lead (ML) is the classic 'dense but incredible' type, destined to marry our MC. Unfortunately, their journey isn't smooth, as the MC's reputation is tarnished with an 'adultery' rumor linked to the ML, orchestrated by a 'white lotus.' Her family disapproves and pushes for the marriage, leaving her disrespected and unwilling to fight back or clear her name. It seems like the author uses this situation to move the plot forward, but it's frustrating for readers like me.

    I apologize if my frustration comes across as disrespectful, but everyone's taste varies. Ultimately, a book's quality shouldn't be determined solely by one person's opinion. Enjoyment is subjective, so I'll leave it at that.

    The main character (MC) is supposed to be an adult who reincarnated into a 13-year-old body, but alas, if one reaches the age of 30 and still behaves that way, they're considered brave. Our protagonist, however, comes across as foolish, unable to compare to either a contemporary individual or someone from ancient times. Although the plot has potential, the lack of likability for the MC is a significant drawback.

    I'm currently on chapter 70, but I've had enough. Despite the overwhelming number of five-star ratings, I don't believe the book deserves such praise. The main character's behavior constantly frustrates me – she seems to do nothing productive and her actions are utterly frustrating.

    I have immense respect for those who managed to make it past chapter 40. The protagonist's愚蠢 and illogical decisions drive me crazy. It's as if she hasn't grown up at all; instead, she behaves like a petulant child, despite supposedly being an adult transmigrated into a 13-year-old's body. At this point, I seriously doubt it's an adult who has transcended; it feels more like a child.

    I've come across numerous disappointing transmigration stories, but this one ranks among the worst I've ever read. I strongly dislike protagonists like this one.

    Nonetheless, I'm giving the book only two stars. First, credit to the translators for their hard work, but the content itself is subpar. Second, I'm congratulating myself for reaching chapter 70. Honestly, if possible, I'd rate it zero stars.

    I believe the book deserves more than four stars, but not quite five. If you're a fan of novels like "I Know I'm a Villainess, But I'm Not Going to Die," then this one is definitely worth checking out. The protagonist, a transmigrated female lead, defies her fated role as cannon fodder and embarks on a journey of love and happiness. While the romance aspects delve fairly deeply, there are moments where the pacing can be sluggish, causing occasional boredom for me. Overall, it's a decent read for those who enjoy this genre, but it may not be the pinnacle of excellence.

    The narrative storyline has an engaging premise, but unfortunately, it lacks depth and fails to delve into the heroine's experiences. It feels like a series of events are presented without much connection to the protagonist's journey.

    The standard reincarnation-in-historical-setting tale. It's not bad, but lacks uniqueness. The protagonist, FL, is an adult who reincarnates as a 13-year-old, but behaves childishly for her age. Her modern knowledge is sporadically utilized, making her transmigration seem unnecessary, mainly to justify her "contemporary" traits and vague future insights. She's intelligent but not exceptional, with occasional humorous moments and assertiveness, resulting in entertaining confrontations. However, her actions appear lenient given the era. FL's character development is minimal.

    The male lead (ML) pretends to be mentally challenged for ten years, with a significant plot twist when he reveals his true abilities. Though it has consequences, the revelation isn't overly impactful due to FL's awareness and ML's eventual证明。 He is devoted to FL.

    Their relationship starts as a playful bickering couple, with ML showing affection towards FL, who is initially unaware. They eventually become intimate after marriage, but their development could have been more substantial. The story's title may mislead, as FL isn't ML's fiancée until near the end, despite initial expectations.

    Villains are one-dimensional, and supporting characters are underdeveloped. Some characters remain resentful because of FL's past behavior as a 3-year-old, but they are amazed by her transformation later. The story is relatively mild on conflict compared to others in its genre, and FL doesn't engage in elaborate schemes or seek revenge.

    While the overarching plot could be intriguing, the main antagonist's lack of intelligence slows down the narrative. I found myself skimming parts. Overall, it's a decent read if you're looking for something light and uneventful.

    It was decent up until Chapter 36-37, but the translation became a bit confusing there. There were some illogical events that put me off, particularly when an adult held a three-year-old accountable for actions clearly coerced upon her. The main character's decision-making and emotional maturity raised doubts – it felt more like a child in an adult's body rather than an actual grown-up. I don't expect a genius or superhuman protagonist, but some level of common sense appropriate for someone older than 20 would be nice. Perhaps the issue lies with the translation, as I can't read Chinese to assess the original text. However, the overall scenes, character actions, and plot development seem lacking in depth and coherence.

    "Dog blood test. Evil grandmother examination. Kind grandmother-in-law evaluation. Assessment of cruel relatives. A few trustworthy family members checked off. A reliable friend verified. White莲花 antagonist inspection. Little rivals turning into love interests. It's fine. Normally, I dislike it when the female lead has an extensive network like an endless pharmacy with secret weapon capabilities. But it can be monotonous when she doesn't utilize her era's wisdom. At least give me some plot development."

    I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Initially, the protagonist FL's character seemed somewhat naive, which was slightly frustrating in the early chapters. However, it was refreshing to see her grow as she acknowledged her limitations, adding depth to her portrayal. The male lead, or ML, was exceptional – he genuinely loved FL, listened to her concerns, and even改正 his forceful behavior when she pointed it out, which was a rare and admirable trait in an ML.

    The climax, though, felt a bit unnecessary with the introduction of a new villainess, causing the main antagonist to fade into the background. The ending seemed rushed, with some key moments needing more development to provide a satisfying conclusion. Despite these minor drawbacks, I found the story engaging enough to stay up until 2 AM to finish it and even write this review. Overall, it was a solid read that kept me hooked.

    This discovery is quite fitting for my taste, especially considering those who are disappointed with the main character not speaking up for herself. Give it a chance; she eventually stands her ground, and it's an empowering scene. The romantic aspect is also quite appealing. However, I must admit, I don't particularly like the original female lead. As for the father, I have a neutral opinion. Overall, I personally recommend this book as an enjoyable read.

    Let's face it, the ending feels rushed and unsatisfying. Numerous storylines and supporting characters are left unresolved, with the main character (ML) lacking depth or relatability. The female lead (FL) could have been intriguing if she adhered to the world's rules, but instead, she becomes a one-dimensional Mary Sue. The concept of ML pretending to be mentally challenged was a promising idea, but its execution was clumsy and had minimal impact on the plot.

    FL's behavior doesn't reflect a mature woman trapped in a teenager's body; it remains similar to her original self. It appears as if her intellect didn't change along with her physical appearance. Her actions throughout the story are hard to justify, especially since she seems to lack clear motivation for most of her decisions.

    The relationship dynamics between ML's younger brother and his consort seem to hint at a potential love interest, but there's no solid development or resolution in this regard.

    In summary, the ending is a disappointment, with too much condensed into a single chapter, feeling forced and contrived. Despite its good translation, the story as a whole is destined for the trash bin. Thank you to the translator for their efforts, though.
