Okay! So I would like to do character summarisation of the story progressed so far. Xiao Ling: So far I didn’t find any problem with the female lead character Xiao Ling. The whole story revolves around Xia Ling. I m happy that her character was not portrait of that of weakling. She's been week and strong at right times and right places of the story. Pie Zheng: For Pie Zheng character I think its all about perceptions. To certain people he may appear as not too bad. This guy is obviously appearing as the villain of the story now but I don’t believe he’s gonna be the main villain by the end of the story. Pie Zheng is madly in love with Xia Ling, so mad that he ended up hurting her because he was too afraid to loose her. Although Pie Zheng might not be the hero that ends up with heroin but he is neither the villain. I also think that Pie Zheng character is slightly more important in the story as compared to Li Lei. Even the poster of the novel features Xia Ling and Pie Zheng but not Li Lei. Li Lei: Li Lei exhibits the character of a ideal hero, the dream guy of every girl. Given his social position, wealth and background, his character is absolutely appropriate. There is nothing extra ordinary in his character like Pie Zheng. Unlike abnormal psychopath Pie Zheng, Li Lei is quite normal though. Wei Shaoyin: I've to admit I personally like Wei Shaoyin's character. So far he has exhibited an interesting personality. I m really looking forward to see what roles he is going to play further in the story. I also doubt what kind of feelings he has towards Xiao Ling. Is he just impressed by her talents and likes/supports her professionally, or there is something else too?! There are two characters that I m really willing to know more about. First, Ye Lingling's sister. I wonder if she’s gonna wake up in the whole story. Second, Feng Kun. Somehow this looks like in favour of Xia Ling. I don’t know if he has any important role to play further in the story. Last but not least, Xia Yu: The character I expect most to appear as the main villain at the end of the story, the one who murdered Xia Ling, poisoned Pei Zheng' fiancé and brainwashed Pei Zheng to give that sort of treatment to Xia Ling. Anyways, lets see what happens next!!

The translation quality and pace is good. Sadly, that's the only credit I can give to this disappointing novel. It starts out strong - despite the reincarnation premise, the story feels real and relatable. The heroine is a woman suffering from psychological scars from her past life. You will feel for her and for all that she has endured prior to her death and reincarnation. Despite that, she was relatively level-headed and quickwitted. She won't let people who insult her get away unscathed. And in her journey to self recovery and healing, is the loveable and sweet Big Boss who patiently waits for her to be ready to love again. Sounds good, right? Sadly, the Author is a misanthrope and decrees no one deserves happiness in this world. Said Big Boss actually turns out to be another possessive abuser himself. Remember all the disgusting things the heroine's old lover did to her? Yeah, he does that too. He rapes her while she was having a mental breakdown, and -surprise- punishes her for calling out her old lover's name in her attempt to stop the pain, all this while she was UNCONSCIOUS. And what does she do as soon as she gets away from him? She willingly goes with the old lover who turned her into a doormat in the first place. All the men are douchebags who wants to rape her. Half the female cast are afflicted with internalized mysoginy and wants her dead for daring to exist in the same room as a handsome man. The decent side characters lost all hint of personality right around chapter 200, and has mostly just been existing to insert a break from scenes where the heroine is being manipulated or abused. Honestly, it's been a trainwreck since and only continues to spiral from there. TLDR: save your time and spirit stones, there is no "Queen" to be found here
