WARNING!!! SPILERS AHEAD!!!
LOVE IT!!! From the beginning until the end, it was enjoyable. First of all, the story's FL is my favorite in this story as she managed to check every characteristic that I'm looking for an FL. She's strong (emotionally and physically), smart, rational, decisive, proactive, independent but coquettish to the ML, talented, and petty (in a savage way), plus she's also funny and narcistic. The ML is also not bad. He's black-bellied and very supportive of the FL. I can't say much about the ML because there's a lot of ML similar to him. Anyway, he's very good.
About the supporting characters, I think the one who should be given the best supporting actor award is the old immortal who never appeared, but his exposure and popularity are the highest aside from the main characters lol. It's really hilarious whenever the old immortal carries all the blame for the FL HAHAHAHAHA. But hey, at least instead of being popular for bombing himself, he became a god-like existence to the masses because of the FL throwing the blame to him. Next is the emperor. You know, it's very rare to encounter a wise and fair emperor in this kind of story. Most of them are fatuous or biased. Or if they can be fair at the beginning, they'll be suspicious at the end or they'll be obsessed with power. But in this story, I'm very satisfied that the emperor was a wise ruler and was not jealous or suspicious of the MCs. Prince Yi, the shameless prince who looked like a banished immortal also made me laugh countless of times. Also, I really like the friendship between the FL and those dandies. From being dandies to being able to realize what they want in life; I feel like an old mother watching my children grow up. And they grew beautifully. Madam Kong and the two children are also very cute. It's undeniable that these three were Shi Qingluo's fans. They type of fan that whatever their idol say was right and their idol can never be wrong lol.
As for the little villains, they're annoying but they've been counterattacked by the MCs that their dramas have become a show for the others. Plus, the way how the FL made them speechless and angry to the point of wanting to vomit blood is not only funny but also satisfying. Therefore, even if they are annoying, I'm not that annoyed, instead I am entertained and even laughing whenever they were made traumatized by the FL.
But one of my favorites is that this is the ancient times where women's status was far inferior to men. Therefore, I expected that there'll be a lot of negative comments about the FL, so I'm pleasantly surprise that it isn't much, just blurted out by those lemon spirits. Instead, her popularity and reputation are both very good so it's not annoying reading the comments of those passerby, especially when she became famous for being the old immortal's disciple lol.
Now, talking about the plot, to be honest, it's the kind where even their daily lives were narrated. It should be boring but it's not, at least for me. It's because even if their daily lives were narrated, it's not that repetitive. Plus, the fact that they are all funny and has the attitude of always wanting to watch a good show. And this kind of narrative even allowed the readers to be even more immerse to the lives of the characters, as such, I feel proud and nostalgic, from Nanxi to Heyang, then from Northern City to the Capital. The changes in their lives were progressive. As for the romance, the FL and ML are more like an old couple whose tacit understanding with each other are very high. They are sweet and supportive of each other, but not the passionate and clingy type. It's stable and fluffy. It's the kind of love that started with mutual respect and support.
Also, about the ending, well, either the real ending or the alternative ending, I like them both. I really like that all loose thread were tied up. Their friends' ending, their children's ending, and such. Although I thought that Mo Qingling will be part of their clique, I later realized that he's a background character so it's not that regrettable when his ending was not mentioned. The rebellious second prince was also not mentioned but given that the crown prince successfully ascended to the throne, it's obvious that he failed to claim the throne. Anyway, aside from the not-so important characters which I paid attention to, everyone's ending was mentioned. And although there's no explanation for the FL's interspace, I'll turn a blind eye for that. Some things are meant to be take for granted so that our heads won't hurt to give a valid of explanations for them.
And for the translations, I can't say it's good because if you're not paying attention, you'll be confused since the pronouns are mostly mistranslated. But I can't also say that it's bad because aside from the pronouns, almost everything is fine. So, it's 3/5 for the translation.
Overall, translation aside, it's a 10/10 for me. I really enjoyed it a lot. I thought 720 chapters is kinda long for this kind of story, but I think it's just fine. It's not boring at all because the characters are funny.
