The story isn't bad but it isn't particulary good neither. How to describe it, from the description you expect a reborn revengeful and ruthless heroine full of schemes like in Rebirth of the malicious empress of military lineage or something similar (TPW). But in fact the heroine won't act against her past lives ennemies if they don't act against her beforehand and will just keep her guard up. On one hand it's good because she is distinctive of her two lives and doesn't let herself consumed by hatred. But on another it gives the feel that MC is not strong enough, for instance about the past "lover" each time she sees him she has an inherent fear that is subconsciously reflected in her body language it's a bit disturbing when you're used to MC like Li Wei Yang or Shen Miao. So don't be full of expectations on that part, still it may evolve on latter chapters as for now the antagonists only resolved to using petty tricks.Other than that, she clearly doesn't have any ability or skill except her divination gift. But it still cannot be considered as a golden finger because it takes a long way for the MC to understand it's purpose or way of using her power. So when reading it's a bit confusing because it gives the impression that it's a bit useless on the aspect of MC self-protection.About the ML, from the beginning he clearly put his stance on MC. It's just that I feel that MC doesn't reciprocate enough. You'll tell me nobody can force feelings and all it'll come with time but still you can still say a word of thank you when someone helps you when he's not even obligated to give you assistance.Spoiler
like many times the ML will intervene in the dark to help MC in flourishing her business or even punish people who scheme against MC (even if MC has already taken things into her own hands and can scheme back two folds against them). He will also protects her by sending his trustee on her side. It's obvious that he's very caring toward her but on her side nothing can be seen and she'll sometimes takes things for granted. Like one time she needed help from him for some stuff. He beforehand asked her to often write for him when she'll go on errand. But she didn't at all and only contacted him when she needed help and even the way she did it wasn't particularly good. So for me she's a bit of an ingrate
[collapse]Still despite everything you keep reading because you want to know the purpose of her divination power, the hidden conspiracies and all. This novel is more of something you read when you already finished off almost all novel on Novel Updates (my case). That's why I've said it isn't bad but it isn't particularly good either.
