FOR NOW (chapter 40) - decent. A couple of things come out of nowhere/there's some dodgy descriptions, but mostly it's okay. We've already encountered one of the things in the description (FL whipping out the ol' black diamond card) which is a nice change from the usual 1000-chapters-in-and-haven't-gotten-to-X-Y-or-Z-in-blurb-yet. Characters are pretty standard. Not exactly sold on the ML - he seems like an idolised stalker? But the interactions FL has with her classmates are nice (and the "class bully" already knows that the FL is not to be messed with so that's a nice change of pace). I'd be sad if this wasn't one of the chosen stories, but I'm also wary about how the quality will be going forwards. (There's also some weird translations where she/he/him/her are mixed up).

== impression as of chapter 19 == Yao Tang was exchanged at birth and was found years later as a teenager in the countryside. The only reason her family brought her back was because they were told that she would bring good feng shui (good luck) to the family. Yao Ran (adopted daughter) and her parents doesn’t treat her well on their first meeting but are willing to provide for her as long as she doesn’t embarrass them. Yao Tang is the most beautiful girl that anyone in the novel has ever seen as she has inherited the good looking genes of the Yao family. She’s cold and aloof and emits this aura that makes everyone scared of her even though they’re drawn to her beauty. She’s a prodigy child but all her exams has 0s on them. We know that Yao Tang doesn’t care for the Yao family and only came to the city with some sort of agenda that has yet to be revealed to us. She probably has some sort of successful business/side hustle going that will be revealed later as Yao Tang has someone working under her. I’m assuming the male lead is the infamous young master of the Cheng family who followed Yao Tang to the city. I’m also assuming that he is the man that Yao Tang saved in the beginning of the novel. That man seemed to be enamored by her even though she wanted him to leave. So far, I’m not too impressed with the novel. I think because there’s no clear goal to what Yao Tang is doing in the novel. It’s not a revenge trope because she’s not back with the Yao family to take revenge, she’s not attending school to become the top student, nor is she chasing the male lead. So, in a way, it feels like it’s getting dragged on and I don’t know if I want to continue to see what her goal is. But if you enjoy a smart female lead with a hidden agenda, you may enjoy this one.
