    Seems odd they didn't explain the reality to her about it being temperature related. surely that shouldn't be kept secret from her.

    "I went to Second Senior Brother before," said Dong Xi. "He told me it was a problem with the furnace."

    Read this during a day of free reading and am extremely glad I did--the art is nicely done and improves throughout the story. Note: it is NOT complete as a full story; the first season of the manga was completed and translated, but it's unclear whether there's a second season or whether it was simply not translated into English. The story is interesting, and there's a good job done thus far with the fact that the main character Qinglan is stuck pretending to be her brother as she seeks to build power and work towards revenge. I'm going to dig up the novel now in original Mandarin, which is noted as complete with 1667 chapters but apparently got stuck in the trial read here on Webnovel.

    This is one of the best modern history rebirth stories I've read and definitely worth a read. Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng's relationship is very slow burn but is one of the most realistic ones that I've seen in a Webnovel story. They share genuine respect while clearly having individual personalities and goals. The story setting in the 70s in the countryside in China during the late years of the Cultural Revolution and before economic opening provides a fascinating and unusual setting for the story for this genre, if somewhat whitewashed in terms of politicization. The side characters and relationships are largely believable, although Yu Yan as an enemy is almost unbelievably petty on many occasions. Best of all, this story has a clear path and wraps up nicely at only (!) 520 chapters, making it extremely readable compared to most of the behemoths on Webnovel. Good option for a few evenings of chill reading.

    If you enjoy the rebirth, hidden identity, building-a-business empire story with a supernatural power plotline, this is an excellent example of this chill reading genre. I have completed the entire story and it gets nearly five stars as an overall very enjoyable story. While the main character and love interest are both overpowered, there is a good cast of characters in the form of likeable family members and friends, a slow burn romance, and rivals or villains with more nuance and reasonable motivation for their behaviors than most similar stories. Heartily recommend as a fun light reading novel with completed English translation.

    The premise for his fake death was always a bit ridiculous, but at this point his family is already implicated, so what is the point of not telling them?!

    Thinking back, Shao Qihai felt lingering fear. He had done so much in the past and hadn't even hesitated to fake his death because he didn't want his family to fall into this dangerous swamp. However, in the end, they had still been implicated.

    If only the readers had a clue what else she was getting up to while in the capital...

    George asked her out several times, but she rejected all his invites. He had no idea what Ning Li was so busy with. Although he wanted to ask about it, he could not find the perfect timing to do so.

    This is a largely enjoyable read with decent translation and all the usual hallmarks of the genre: woman who was blinded by love in her first life, face slapping, unexpected skills, and a dedicated love interest. BUT it ends very abruptly, in a way that leaves many questions. If you like a conclusion, this one may not be for you. And just as importantly, the romance is unsatisfying because the main character doesn't seem to genuinely accept a relationship with the love interest. I can't recommend this one unless it's free.

    It's the name of the peak she is claiming to be from within the Beast Tamer Sect; they forgot to translate it.

    Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she said awkwardly,"I am Dong Li, Ying Lang Feng. I accidentally came here and couldn't find the exit. Please forgive me, Senior."

    The translator messed up here; he should be saying his name and then explaining which Chinese characters are used for his name (IE, My name is Lin Ze, the Lin character with double trees, the Ze character with...).

    Lin Ze gave his cell phone number. “My Name Is Lin Ze. I’m Shuangmu Lin. I’m Chuan Ze.”

    I assume she had a terrible first life and then reincarnated once-so while Le Wan read the book about Le Yan's successful life, Le Yan is now living the reincarnation in the book and only remembers the original terrible life at this point...🤔

    Le Yan did not want to accept this fact anymore because she had accepted it in her previous life, suffered a lot, and ended up in a miserable state. In this life, she would not compromise and accept her fate again. Since she could not get it, she would not watch Le Wan get it!

    Exactly which seven months might make a difference--IE, if she was born the next lunar new year, then her age would likely be counted as a year younger.

    "Jia Jia has also just recovered from a major illness, but she's been schooling at home right from the first few days of recovery…" Yu Zongzheng frowned. Jia Jia was a year younger than Yao Yao and had been suffering from heart disease since she was young, but she had already resumed homeschooling shortly after her illness.

    yeah, the author has been consistently inconsistent about exactly how much debt she has already paid off... 😅

    And now, she had already helped Second Senior Brother to accumulate more than a year's debt!

    it's likely that the original Chinese phrasing implied the subject and the translator or MTL program supplied the wrong one in English... but it's still annoying. Basic editing would catch this sort of thing.

    "You're new and don't know anything, so it's right to call you Senior Brother."

    He's so smart most of the time... I look forward to his reaction when he's blindsided by Prince Yi chasing after his mother!

    He guessed that it might be because he had brought his people here and his mother had saved Prince Yi, hence his attitude was like it.

    It's likely a mistranslation --the Chinese word for flamingo includes the characters for fire and bird.

    "Flamingo?" Supervisor Liu's brow furled further. His lips moved, but no words.

    This is a fairly stereotypical face-slapping romance, but with a few things that really make it stand out. One major positive is the ML--he is for once about the same age as the main character, and is not possessive or stalkerish but rather supportive and a friend. He and Yan Xi develop a real relationship based on relative equality in most important respects, which often feels rare in the genre. He suffers the same lack of alternative motivations beyond romantic interest in the main character that often challenges these stories, but it's relatively forgivable. The villainess of the story is the one with the cheat system whereas our main character has only her own intelligence and network and has to deal with it--which is honestly refreshing. And also supports some in-story references to the face-slapping web-novel genre in ways that are entertaining. Downsides: the translation (clearly MTL with perhaps some editing, suffers from the his/her he/she confusion); plenty of filler descriptions surrounding school web forums and other minor side activities; and the main character shares the occasional indifference or passivity that leads to length. That said: all in all an enjoyable read, and relatively short compared to many of the thousand plus chapter behemoths in the genre.

    Interesting that her master didn't bat an eye at her friends all being there, even though he knows the portal he gave Sima You Yue was only for one person...

    it is likely a mistranslation; the characters for Kyoto in Chinese also mean "capital city".
