This novel is a very relaxing, slice-of-life story where everything goes smoothly for our MC and all her children- except her daughter of course- are very smart.My only issue with this novel is how despite the MC being from the modern times treats her daughter differently from her sons. The sons learn vigorous and brilliant looking calligraphy from their dad whereas the daughter learns soft and gentle looking calligraphy from MC.The boys- even the six month old infant is told to always strive toward their goals while the daughter is told to be gentle or something. It's really ridiculous and the foreshadowing of the daughter's relationship with Zhuzi makes it even worse.Upon first glance this story seems nice very inoffensive even with the MC's goals of continuing her education and all but when you think about it a little you realise that Yang Mei, the MLs dead wife, gave birth to two children, and during the MC's pregnancy, he still didn't know what to do when it was time to give birth. It really makes you wonder how tr*sh the ML was to the first wife. Sigh.
