The main character was legit about to be killed/sold to a brothel the moment she reincarnated, so it would make sense that she would become ruthless as the plots against her become more cruel. Especially since they’re censoring so much gay stuff these days lol) They rather had gay plays and stories than women XD let that sink in. Cause ancient China was fcked up.(and about the misogyny point many reviewers made, it was set in ancient China, and they literally used male actors for women characters just to keep women out of power. This story has never really heard of thing like “if you bully a bully you’re just stooping down to their level,” and mainly goes for “if you’re not my friend you’re my enemy,” and “revenge is a dish best served cold.” This is just a revenge romp set in ancient China where you should turn off your brain. I also just treat this as fiction and laugh at the parts where the MC ruthlessly gets revenge on her past tormentors. If you have a high moral compass you most likely won’t like it. Tbh, most stories like these are a guilty pleasure of mine, i kind of just shut my brain off and enjoy the revenge plots. It can be really good but it can also be confusing or depraved. It has its ups and downs, from what the other reviewers have said.
