WARNING ⚠ MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. BE WARNED.
This is the first time that I've read a story with evenly matched ML and FL. I mean, although this type of story is very popular right now which led to this kind of plot to be cliché due to a lot of similar stories, I can still say that this one is not overly boring and cliché Just like what I said for example, the ML and FL are both OP and matched. Be it martial arts, finance, computer, medicine, looks, etc. None of them are inferior to each other. Unlike other FL and ML from other similar stories where either the FL is more OP than the ML or the two are complementary but not matched e.g. The FL is good at medicine, computers, finance while the ML is very wealthy, good at military matters, etc. Or worse, sometimes there are couples where I feel like there's a sense of imbalance because the other is OP while the other, being not bad, looks inferior and plain because his/her other half is way too good. Anyway, that's one of the things I liked about this story— the evenly matched FL and ML.
Next, I'm already prepared to be tortured by the white lotus cousin (the always present white lotus in c-novels) but it turns out that while she's annoying, she's not very significant. The FL doesn't care about her and the white lotus, tbh, is a little pitiful. I still can pity her a little, little bit because aside from some petty tricks, I can't remember her plotting extremely inhumane. In fact she, who grew up in a patriarchal family with a mother who uses her as a tool to compete with her rival's daughter and a father who never cared about her, is actually understandable. It'll be questionable if she's still genuinely kind with that kind of environment and treatment. But it doesn't mean I like her very much though.
Moving on, regarding with Sheng Yang's brother, I also like them a lot as well as her "harem" lol. I really wished they have more exposure. Btw, regarding about Feng Yan, I don't know. I can't really categorized him as the 2nd ML. As I said, his exposure isn't that much and neither their first meeting was mentioned so I can't find the sparks with them so I'm not very sad for him.
Also, I just want to mention the school/classroom atmosphere in this story. As typical as ever, the FL will be rejected and despised by the adviser of the first section and she'll go to the last section which also happened here but the section there isn't actually that bad, just slightly inferior to the first section. However, if we're going to the typical path, there should be some revolutionary friendship between the FL and the rest of her class but it didn't happen. In her university, she should be regarded as a goddess by her schoolmates and although it happened, it's kinda hypocritical because they never liked Sheng Yang sincerely. My point is, I don't like the relationship between Sheng Yang and her schoolmates but maybe it's also because Sheng Yang us like a fleeting butterfly who's not really good at socializing and isn't bothered with it as well. Hmmm. Some FL just look cold but she's really, really cold.
Now, let's talk about what I'm dissatisfied with. First, I feel like the ending is lacking— and no, I'm not saying it's rushed. It's just that there's still unexplained things like who are the other 2 of the 4 Gods? What happened to Sheng Yue? Did Kang Lixing and Zhao Caihua reconciled? What exactly happened to Jin Lu? How many identities does Sheng Yang and Yi Juncheng have? What's up with the system when Sheng Yang was reborn? Why does Long Xian knew about the number 1-5 harem? Is he connected to the system or Sheng Yang's reincarnation? And such. I'm the type of reader who usually remember this things despite the good ending and I didn't even mentioned some of the supporting characters even if I'm also curious what happened to them since they don't affect the story that much but the rest that I've mentioned are what I'm really curious about.
Lastly, the translation is very good and so is the story. But since there's some unanswered things, I'll give it a 9.5/10.
