Description

When Lei Xing booked a luxurious cruise as a graduation present to herself, she expected to have plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation with an ocean view before jumpstarting her career. What she did not expect was to be the unlucky person who would fall overboard to a miserable watery death… or so she thought.

To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official.

{...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...}

To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor.

{...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…}

While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage.

"...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die."

"Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!"

***

"Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul...

"...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath...

***

"That stupid old man, I'm going to end him when I find him...You better hide well!!"

★★★★ 3.5
The story is about a modern woman getting reincarnated in a setting that seems to resemble ancient china, or perhaps is actually ancient china itself, so nothing new there. If anything, compared to the stereotype she actually has a very nice family, at least as of chapter 5.
The grammer is pretty good, which is a must for me, so you get a point for that. Whilst there is some awkward phrasing every now and then I've not seen any outright mistakes.
The story and characters so far are not very outstanding, though there is some interesting foreshadowing. I wouldve liked to see a more in depth initial interaction between parent and child when she woke up at the beginning of the story. The parents just seem like background characters here, and even though she has good reason to avoid them I cannot imagine a parent of a child who just nearly died just saying 'oh sure, take your time honey, I'll just go bother someone else'. If they cared they would be fussy to the point of annoyance.
Though maybe I've read the family all wrong and they're wolves in sheeps clothing instead of a loving caring family, who tried to have her killed discreteetly for some reason. That would be an interesting plot twist.
To summarize, it's a fun enough read to pass the time, but not interesting enough (to me) to binge read the entire 33 chapters currently released as I do with stories that DO interest me.
