I literally love Ning Shu. She's the type of protagonist I aspire to be and to read honestly.She's really not OP like Shi Sheng from side character transmigrations, but what she lacks in golden fingers she more than makes up for in tenacity. I actually admire her a lot- she's but super smart or overly strong, but she has principles and you can feel her slowly growing and getting stronger over time. It's gradual and slow and it makes her more endearing.I love that she's never willing to seduce the ML or anyone else for what she wants which is something that commonly happens in qt novels. She never gets involved romantically with a partner and avoids tasks that require her to do so. Her philosophy is literally martial arts can solve most things and what it can't solve will be solved with intelligence points never charm lmao.Due to that however THERES NO ROMANCE. I actually don't mind that at all and even appreciate it, but anyone looking for an ML or a ship will be disappointed. There will never be romance at all all the way through the end.By the way, the translation is super great, but the translator did split up the chapters into two so there's actually around 8000 if you count according to where the story's at right now.Anyway I really love the strong woman character and Ning shu is that. The only reason this gets a 4/5 is that some of the arcs really drag. I have sometimes skipped several chapters just to read the ending and it really didn't effect my comprehension.
