Lin Feilu, or better known by her nickname—Green Tea Princess, was the best of all the scheming b*tches that the world had ever seen. She was the Oscar-winning actress among the masses with real life as her stage. Acting coy, slandering, feigning innocence, or playing the saint, she aced it all. Simply put, she was the proverbial villainess.
Ah, but retribution came way too early for this malicious personage and she died on her 27th birthday.
In death, Lin Feilu reflected on her career of 20 years as the Green Tea Princess. She was full of regret and remorse over the life she once led. She vowed, if there was an afterlife, she would atone for her misdeeds and be a good person.
She transmigrated into a five-year-old princess of the Dalin Dynasty. In the name of family, she had a sickly mother disfavoured by the emperor, a mentally challenged and daft older brother.
Her life was constantly in danger, with having little to eat and trying to stay warm.
The living environment was very harsh.
Lin Feilu, who wanted to be a good person: … You forced me! Sorry, I can only activate my unique skill.
Harem fight? Striving for favor? Climbing the ranks?
Apologies, but let me show you what it means to be slaughtered by a maxed out player.
Note: “Green Tea” is a woman who presents herself as innocent, sweet, and kind but is very scheming and calculative in reality.
The storyline lacks depth and excitement. It could be a decent choice for light reading to pass the time, but overall, it fails to impress. As for the main character (MC), I find it difficult to empathize with her. She manipulates those around her, and although I understand her actions stem from her desire to protect her family, the author's portrayal doesn't resonate with me.
Additionally, I不喜欢她总是以NPC或游戏角色的角度看待他人。 Regarding the male lead (ML), I am open to dark characters like yandere or psychopaths, but in this case, the author didn't effectively convey how the ML developed those traits. It would have been better if there were subtle hints or clear demonstrations of his character arc during his time in Danlin, rather than making him seem ordinary.
In conclusion, I view the novel as bland, without much fluff or cuteness to it.
The romantic aspect of the novel played a supporting role and felt somewhat underdeveloped. There was potential there, but the dynamics between the love interests followed a familiar pattern – a doting black-bellied emperor and his empress.
