th novel is actually one of the best Chinese historical drama novels ive ever read. altho it does have the typical evil female charas, which i cant really criticize bc it's basically a staple in this genre, as a whole, the female chara cast are better written than average. mc is not the most beautiful female or particularly strong, so she have to use her wits and eloquence a lot, acquired by her experience in her previous life, to manuever the schemes of the villains. the ml on the other hand is the most good-looking guy and their dynamic is similar to using each other, then allies-to-lovers with the romance very slowburn and a side plot, bc the main plot is about mc's revenge. and it is so cathartic.
