Normaly I wouldn't rate highly novels where the romance is taking a back seat, but this one speaks to my heart, concentrating on family connections and consequently, revenge.The heavy cover of inequality and low value of 'lesser' classes is woven into every chapterSpoiler
besides the obvious loss of the whole MC's immediate family the most colirful example is the situation with the main villan's dog. Dog is induced to try to slaughter MC and she almost did not survive the dog's attack, but at the end the corrupt nobility discusses whether the MC should be killed for the offence of harming the precious dog, or just kowtow to the carcuss and the dog's ownet.
[collapse]I live how the villans have quite a rounded parsonalitySpoilerfor instance, Qi Qing as the main culprit's father is a cold blooded mu*derer of, among many other people, his own wife whom he loved dearly. She needed to be removed from the picture due to the inconvenience of her mental illness
[collapse].So I heartly recommend the novel to all who like strong emotions without being cheap and strong characters.
