  It's a story about a side character, that is only an addition to the main heroine story, but it's interesting, that they both end up reincarnated. It captures the feeling of reading eastern literature well, with how dialogues are written and the interaction between characters. (And the names you need a wiki to distinguish who is who)
  The MC is at the start passive, observing the situation, and we have only glimpses of her previous life, where some revenge took place. It sets the tone about who she is as a person and how the story might proceed.
  We also have the perspective of the default heroine and with her all the scheming in the rich family. I like that part, there is some mystery to it and some drama.
  Almost all the paragraphs are big and chunky, and a lot is being described in detail with long, meandering sentences. My mine problem with the style is that most of the first chapters set the scene, with only a little about MC at the end, and then it ended abruptly. It leaves you unsatisfied and wondering if the things at the beginning were really needed. In terms of grammar, there's nothing distracting.
  If you a fan of that type of story, with some scheming in a rich family in a xianxia style, then it can be recommended.

  I stopped at chapter 7. Dont get me wrong. The story wasn't bad, it was just Chinese names were too hard for me to pronounce to remember, so I was often  confused. Don't worry, it's just "me" stuff.
  The setting was good. A clan, one among the big fours, having its inner chaos, and have to deal with external affairs at a same time. The novel set its intriguing political ambience early on, with plot and schemes was hinted (but not showed) every chapter. Without action, of course i expected its slow pacing , but this was still a little slower for my taste. Sometimes the paragraphs became over-descriptive, and inner monologue was too... trailing, and it usually not what readers care. I know it because i got the same mistake in my novel. It's not a bad thing, just not what readers want.
  I haven't seen the clear role of MC in the big picture, but she must deem to be. And the author have pave the road for her early. Solid society-building. Interaction will be easier to imagine later on. When A happens, B will have to happen too, like that.
  In short, it's nice building up and have good potence, but it need more time to shine.

  So after reading upto chapter 7 here are my honest thoughts.
  Style: I'd say your way of writing is certainly unique than most I've seen. It resembles a more poetic way of writing that incorporates a lot of simile etc. Unfortunately, for people like me (English isn't first language) There is a little discord in understanding everything as some sentences or sometimes even paragraph feel a little too vague. The use of wordings is certainly... Unique.
  Plot: As of my current chapter, I'm still a little confused about what the main goal is? Maybe I didn't see some details because it took quite some effort to discern some of your sentences.
  Grammar: The grammar is good, except for some punctuation problems. Some of the sentences lack comma, which has made me reread quite a few times. I feel like this is also another reason why it was a little hard read for me. There are also quite a few times that you wrote the same words over and over in the same sentence or paragraph. While, this can be ok in some cases, the way some of them were incorporated were a little repetitive and stands out. A personal recommendation from me as well is to try chopping up some of the paragraphs since they are a bit too long and is tiring to look at (Might just be me)
  Characters: The characters certainly have their own personalities and have some great interactions so no problems for me in that area.
  Overall 4/5 for me.
