Shu Wan, the most outstanding daughter of a high-status family from a feudal dynasty, travels a thousand years into the future, becoming the new lady of the Fu family in the capital.
------
Her husband in name has gone overseas to explore markets, leaving behind a rebellious son whose name resounds throughout the capital.
------
Upon first meeting, the rebellious son speeds past on a motorcycle with his silver-white hair flying, "Isn't that my stepmother who's 6 years older than me? Skinny arms and legs, but with grand ambitions."
Before he finishes, Shu Wan leaps up and plucks him off the motorcycle with one hand, "Watch your mouth."
------
Fu Yang is consistently at the bottom of his grade, especially with his Chinese language scores never passing 50.
Shocked by his atrociously written exam papers, Shu Wan asks, "Are you even Chinese?"
Fu Yang is defiant, "Aren't you a dimwitted academic failure yourself, what right do you have to criticize me?"
Yet the next second, as Shu Wan smoothly writes down 'Ancient Prose Paragon' with a brush, it's Fu Yang's turn to be astonished.
Isn't she a walking dictionary?
------
Fu Siyu returns from his overseas expansion earlier than expected, thinking he would come home to chaos.
However, upon entering the door, he sees the usually defiant Fu Yang sitting obediently practicing his calligraphy with a perfect score exam paper beside him.
And his reputedly timid wife, in a sleek black high-slit dress, confidently struts to the music, drawing the attention of everyone.
But none of that is the focal point. The focus is on Fu Siyu's gaze, sharp as a knife, directed toward the dance partner's hand resting on Shu Wan's lower back, "Let go."
Note: The son is not the biological child of the male lead.
Interesting start. Im only up to chapter 9 nd already hooked. Love a strong fl even better if there sacarstic or graceful. This is the latter. Raws anyone?
(check my reading list for mtl) i havent finished the novel yet but i really like the characters so far! i'll update after i finish, but i wanted to leave this review here first in case anyone else wanted to keep reading.
The character buildup and the story progression are good during the initial stages of the story. However, the ending was rushed—it left a bad taste in the mouth. The saving grace for this novel is the part where the ML slowly captures the FL's attention and how their relationship progresses. I loved that part because it was immersive, and you could really feel the characters come alive. I think I was just let down by how detailed it was when it started, and then how lopsided the ending felt. It lacked the depth and consistency compared to the momentum it created initially. The plot is very good—not something you encounter often in a typical transmigration story. However, there were some close-ended issues that weren’t wrapped up properly. Overall, it’s a good read if you don’t mind rushed endings, and it doesn’t take too much time since it’s only 200+ chapters.
I love this transmigration story. Am hooked and waiting for updates on the next chapter. Waiting for the male lead to come home and see how it turns out to be.
