I rarely write reviews but... this is a tear-jerker y'all! We follow the characters from children to adults then to elders. This is a story about life, love, and death! The story is exactly what it says"This is a story of a female Prime Minister from a matriarchal society that kept climbing up the official ranks while falling in love when she transmigrated into a patriarchal society."In the FLs previous life, she was a Prime minister where women ruled the world. Her character is domineering, flirtatious, stubborn, warm, and kind. I really want to spoil it like I do other books on Goodreads but all I have to say is that you should prepare your tissues.Major Spoiler on why it gets angsty!Spoiler
Everyone from her childhood group got wiped-out except the FL, her ML, Heng, and Wang once the book ended. And that just makes me sad. We have seen these kids grow up, and go from laughing, drinking, and having fun while partying TO betrayal, and death.
[collapse]I'm surprised this doesn't have a tragedy tag. Although there weren't major tragedies between the Main leads, tragedy was happening around them or because of them. It was a fun read, especially at the start, but I have to be honest things started to get serious and angsty from the middle to end. OF COURSE, there are light moments but not the type of consistency at the start where everyone was carefree and running around. Maybe in another life we could've saved all the MLs and put them in a harem? LOL! Sorry y'all I'm a why-choose reader! But anyways..I have a bittersweet relationship with this genre. I can't place my finger on what specific word it's called but it's that type of genre where it follows the character throughout their whole life. There's a lot of character growth, and some might say character decline. You can't help but feel nostalgic for the youthful characters when you notice such a change now that they're older. Relationships were brought closer, then next thing you know they are separated like how Moses did the Red Sea LOL. I feel VERY bitter when it came to the FL and Heng (Her best friend) relationship, but it's whatever. The world-building is nice, and if you watch C-drama you can't help but to imagine every scene.Give this book a try! The MTL is good, and very understandable most of the time! There is a bittersweet happy ending but for our Main protagonist the "Pompous and outstanding female x Facial paralysis Vinegar king male." I guess you say it's still bittersweet. We briefly see them when their hair is gray! When they're elders!Warnings:There are no weird things that are mainly seen in ancient Chinese stories like r*pe or underage interc*rse. It kinda reminds me of watching an American teen show when it does come to stuff like that. When they are older and adults there are spicy scenes so be prepared for that.Anyways whenever I'll pass this book, I will always smile!
