Rebirth of a Counterattack: Godly Doctor Shizi Fei Chapter 1109 Discussion

This story started off great - imperial princess is betrayed by the man she loved and killed by her uncle. Luckily, she is reborn into another person. Her goal is to save her younger brother (now the puppet emperor) and get revenge for herself and her parents. I enjoyed watching her make a name for herself through her medical skills, develop friendships and slow accomplish her revenge step-by-step.

If the story ended once she accomplished that, then it would have been great. Unfortunately, everything became convoluted and I lost the interest to continue reading. Spoiler

To save her teacher, she needs to find a medicinal ingredient in a neighboring country. The ML gets injured when trying to rescue her. She is forced to marry another prince in exchange. ML loses his memory hates her because he thinks that she schemed and betrayed him in order to marry the prince. ML gets drunk and forces himself on her. She gets pregnant and fakes her death to leave the prince. ML almost gets married to somewhere else. She leaves believing he got married to someone else and gives birth to a daughter. Then there's a time skip to 2 years later.

[collapse] It became a mess.

Because of how things ended up, I felt like the relationship I had been rooting didn't live up to my expectations. The summary is also misleading! She never even became shizi fei. By the time they did get married, ML was already a wangye. They were never going to have a fake marriage! (I was slightly disappointed by this because I love the fake-turns-real trope). It all felt very anti-climatic and I felt like my investment into their relationship didn't pay off at all. Even when they are finally reunited as a family, more obstacles keep on showing up. Spoiler

The original girl ML was engaged to is still in the picture. The foreign prince (now Emperor) finds out she faked her death and kidnaps her back. Her annoying family keeps on hanging around.

[collapse] Luckily, the chapters are quite short so it didn't take too long to read. However, by the time I reached the Chapter 1100 and the story began focusing on their daughter and her love triangle, I lost interest.

TL:DR - first part of the story is great. Rest of it... not so much.
