I also appreciated the author's consistency throughout the story. The progression was natural, and the author ensured that each character received their due.
It’s engaging enough to keep me hooked, even as I struggle through the machine translation (God, have mercy on my English comprehension after this 🥲). Nonetheless, a big thank you to the Shanghai Fantasy group for translating the novel! Your efforts are greatly appreciated by those of us who don’t understand Mandarin.
The novel includes detailed descriptions of ancient Chinese exam questions and answers, which can be quite serious but remain enjoyable. Readers can get a sense of what ancient Chinese scholarly exams were like (whether the author is historically accurate or not, so take it with a grain of salt).
The downsides are that there are no clear villains in the story, and the main character’s journey seems relatively smooth with only minor obstacles. The ending is open-ended, leaving some questions unanswered, so who knows—maybe there will be a sequel.
This is a coming-of-age story for the side characters, focusing on the female lead (FL) raising her young scholars. The overall flow of the story is excellent, with well-executed time skips that keep the narrative engaging. There was even a plot twist that was both unexpected and unique to the novel!
While the author can be a bit verbose when explaining the exam content, you can easily skip those sections without losing much. Everything else is fantastic!
I initially expected elements of cooking and business based on the summary, but this novel is strictly about child-rearing and scholar education.
We get to follow the children all the way to their marriages and the birth of their own children, which is just perfect. The ending was also great, concluding on an unexpected but satisfying note.
Some parts of the translation were a bit off, but overall, it was okay.
Hebiroteshon mentioned there is no romance, but there actually is some. It's just in the extras, and her partner is expected.
I also can't really agree that the ending is open-ended. I think it has a satisfying conclusion, especially with the hint that marriage might be in the future.
And the main villain is a toilet demon, which adds a quirky and humorous element to the story. Take it with a grain of salt!
Like most slice-of-life novels that focus on a central theme—such as cooking, childcare, or business—the main subject here is the protagonist raising her son to become a scholar, while also becoming the headmistress of a small school for teenage prodigies. There’s no face-slapping, no parasitic relatives (except for a sister-in-law who is quickly put in her place), and no unnecessary drama. The protagonist is primarily focused on her school, and the plot revolves around its development and improvement.
