Summary: 
This is a ‘rebirth’ story where Chen Rong, the heroine, finds her second chance at life after burning herself to death. Set in the Eastern Jin era when bureaucrats and their lofty yet equally hypocritical and oppressive ideas once ruled the empire, Chen Rong is made to use her past life’s experience to survive and hopefully find happiness this time around.

Review: 

If you could go back in time and fix your life, how would you do it? This story takes on the journey of the life of a young girl facing the world. She now has the future at hand but how can see proceed.

This is an enjoyable story that makes you emotionally investest in the life of a girl trying to walk the thin line to success. She is burden by the hatred of her past and the love of her present. The characters in the story have some complexity. As usual in these type of stories, opposition to the main character are two-dimensional, are jealous, and have no redeeming quality. The love attractions do have complex character but over the hundred chapters, there is little character development in the story.

However, the main character in this story is relatable compared to others. Yes, she is strong and independent but she is also scared and weak. She can be influenced by love and strong emotions but she is also level headed. The main character is the main selling point of this novel. She intrigues you and brings you into her world of politics and struggles to stay alive and find happiness.

As this story is ongoing, I am excited about what is going to happen next and will continue to follow it. I would recommend this story to almost anyone. As the translation is well done and the story is enticing. I hope you will like it.
