The writing quality in grammar is good. The world building is good. I'm 25 chapters in and I have high hopes for this story so far. The female lead is smart and scheming but she's not a bad person. she doesn't actively seek out to destroy or manipulate people she just mostly wants to live a good life and she's trying to fix the mistakes the previous host has made in order for her life to go more smoothly. The male lead seems to have a cold CEO persona but he doesn't treat the female lead badly at all in spite of all of the hosts previous actions, he's actually quite respectful of her considering. And the author introduces us to his gentle side very quickly. although he is suspicious of the female lead in a change the author lets us see that there is already great potential for him to easily fall deeply in love with her and also lets us see that he is open to romance And isn't the kind of person who would torture the female lead or force himself on the female lead in any way. The female leads family is a great foil. they're the stereotypical abusive rich family and I'm going to enjoy seeing their faces get slapped. I'm also looking forward to possibly seeing the male leads families faces get slapped. It makes me wonder if the female lead in this story, not our female lead but the female lead of the book the star of our story transmigrates into It's going to end up being the main villain of our story lol

What does it mean they are a "foil"?

Foil in this sense means that they make it better. it's like the saying "putting wings on a lion". it makes it better and stronger. they're saying that the bad family members, make the story better.

== impression after 40 chapters == A doctor transmigrate into a novel as a supporting character, Yan Xi. Yan Xi is in a marriage with Gu Shen, a cripple man. Yan Xi doesn't treat Gu Shen with respect and would berate and embarrass him publicly. The transmigrator knows that Yan Xi will die in the novel after divorcing the male lead. She takes over the body right before asking for the divorce in the original novel, so instead of divorcing, she tries to make up for the old mistakes of Yan Xi. (All of this makes up the first set of chapters. While the rest is seeing the transmigrated Yan Xi set forth in her plan of helping Gu Chen and improving her image) The believability of the novel and set up is commendable. Yan Xi is still flawed (old and new). She has to fix the past mistakes that the previous Yan Xi has made. Even though she's a doctor, she doesn't on the spot have a cure and plan in motion to cure this long term disability that the male lead has. She gets some face slapping in by herself but she gets slapped as well. Yan Xi also knows how to use her charms to get the help of the male lead. The progression of the story moves in a smooth way. The male lead, Gu Chen, is still suspicious of Yan Xi as her change is too sudden. Though he is still cautious, he can't help but give Yan Xi attention and help her when she needs it. He proves it that though he is wheelchair bound, he is strong willed to succeed in the business world. Gu Chen won't let anyone bully Yan Xi unless it is him. I really enjoy this even with the cliche tropes: wheelchair bound male lead, transmigration, horrible female lead personality that gets changed, etc. The writer took these ideas and made it into their own story. I'll look forward to the rest of this when it gets picked up!
