Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

Sypport this type of book. The system is not so OP, there is a real sense of crisis too. Development so far is written with brain definitely involved.

Protagonist is the smart guy that win the crisis with his brain. The story does not have the boring power up loop like many other stories. He keep growing but in a way that his power just barely enough for him to operate his plan to solve the crisis.

Alright its a good novel, nice plot and writing. And i love his relationship dynamics with his daughter, girlfriend and friends but i hate his friendship with Wang Fei. If she is the female lead her behavior is pardoned but she is not, he behaves like a simp and doormat to her and its to cliche. I dont see how someone who has been through a midlife crisis and divorce would accept her willfulness, tone it down a little and try to make the MC more reasonable around her. Thank you, might change my review later[img=Feeling it]

Let me put it together like this ( Mc wakes up has rinnegan no memories finds the plot of MHA gets a mother out of nowhere for plot and has mental health and midlife crisis). and tbh idgf but If u put a book out with the name MHA rinnegan then i wanna see that shit and nothing else.

Seeing the thread of the stories is very invigorating to read. More faceslapping and learing way to take on the crisis of your life head. As the character of the stories are being define to what will happen in the near future. Anticipating for more chapters to be release.

The daughter of a favored general

"Your name is Chang Ning?" The young master in embroidered clothes smiled faintly like the sun in the clouds." Chang Ning can't compare to Chang Ning. How about I call you Chang Ning from now on?" The year she first met Jun Yihan, Yu Changning was only twelve years old. She was in the prime of her youth, and the gentle young master had bestowed her with a name that made her live half her life for him. The path she had walked in her life was too long and too full of twists and turns. It was impossible to describe the thousands of sails she had seen in a few short sentences. In her later memories, the past was too complicated, and some of them were even unclear. Other than that gentle young master who kept her by his side in the name of love, it seemed that there was only a young man in red who was always vivid and lively in her heart. She shook her head regretfully. Let love, hate, anger, and obsession go with the wind. This life was so sloppy and absurd. Don't miss it, don't think about it. Let's take advantage of the time to live in the present. Only then can we be free.

The imperial concubine wants to climb the wall

The moment he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated to a different world, and he was lying in a mass grave with nothing on his body. It was so miserable! Her family had a white lotus sister who was biased towards her father. Her husband's family had unruly subordinates. The high and mighty white moonlight was jumping around one after another. When they saw her, they would step on her. What kind of trash were they? Shangguan Qian's hands were itching. She was a clean freak and had to clean up the rubbish when she saw it. As for that so-called husband? Sorry, a marriage without any emotional foundation is like a plate of loose sand. I won't serve you anymore!

Qingning rampaged around.
