Two families’ children were switched at birth. One of the families is a household that does business, and the other is a household of a marquis. There is a vast difference in status.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiang transmigrated as a person that was originally from a business household and was brought up in marquis’s residence. As soon as she arrived, the truth about her lineage was exposed, her legs were disabled, and she was still bearing the reputation of “the unlucky star”. In desperation, she had to hug her elder brother’s thigh firmly and attempt to live her days first. When the original daughter of the marquis’s family returns, Yu Xiang will return the position to her.
A few years later, the original daughter returned, Yu Xiang was prepared to leave, but she found that her technique of holding his thighs was too professional. Her older brother refused to let her go!
The marquis concealed his smile with the wine cup: How can his pampered wife, that grew up with him, leave whenever she wants?
Additionally, the portrayal of a horsewhip, combined with sexual descriptions of MC's prepubescent body from her brother's perspective, created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The持续性的兄妹间性骚扰 as she grew older also disturbed me. Unfortunately, there weren't any comedic elements throughout my reading. If the story were a dark, twisted romance, it might have been more appealing, but as it stands, I found it immature, unengaging, and not worth my time. Despite my initial attempt to finish, I couldn't continue past that point and decided to abandon the book.
Overall, the narrative is highly entertaining for those who appreciate a strong, intelligent, and sometimes arrogant female character who outsmarts everyone around her. It's a delightful read for fans of overprotective relationships and witty comebacks.
FL's character is captivating, as she uses logic to effortlessly handle situations and isn't afraid to assert herself physically when necessary. However, one aspect that left me wanting more was the abrupt ending where FL's older brother and the ninth princess, her close friend, fell in love. I would have loved to witness their union, but the story abruptly concluded without providing a satisfying conclusion.
A drawback I found was the rushed pace towards the end, which although我喜欢快节奏的故事, felt unsatisfactory due to lingering questions. For instance, the emperor's health condition and subsequent events were not fully resolved. It was hinted that he had lung cancer and planned to groom his eldest son for the throne, but his fate after that was unclear.
Additionally, there's a theory circulating that FL's twin brother, unaware of the past sacrifice, orchestrated her reincarnation as a form of repayment. Although the brother's role is minimal, their connection through shared dreams and FL's protectiveness of the seemingly identical ML adds an interesting layer to the narrative.
Lastly, it's important to clarify that while some might perceive ML as yandere, the description of the novel states that it's FL who exhibits such behavior, not ML. Therefore, readers shouldn't hold the novel responsible for this interpretation. Overall, the story has its charm but could benefit from a more conclusive and fleshed-out ending.
Yu Xiang's extreme luck throughout becomes monotonous, as she consistently prevails, defeating those who oppose her, even if they deserve it. While it has an in-story explanation, it becomes boring to witness her constant victories. As for characters like Yu Miaoqi, her one-dimensional nature or exaggerated vanity make her seem like a caricatured villain, serving as a stepping stone for the protagonist.
Overall, the story feels平淡 or underwhelming to me, despite occasional well-written scenes. My lukewarm response contributes to a lower rating compared to the average.
