The author seems to forget that the female lead is a lot older than her fellow peers after reincarnating back to the age of six. Mentally she's supposed to be around 15 years old in the beginning and by chapter 82 she's supposed to be 22 years old, but as a reader I don't feel that matureness at all, no growth (only psychically). Actually I sometimes feel that female lead regress and acts unbelievably immature for her otherwise supposed age. Normally I'm a fan of time skips, especially because the novel isn't very long, but if the author wants to do time skips, at least make sure the characters development follows as well.

Thoughts: It's a pretty standard rebirth story, with some light revenge. MC wakes up more jaded with hatred towards the step mother who tried to sell her, and failing that, mu*der her, and failing that (MC survives and fosters with a peasant family that also failed to mu*der her), disfigure her to death (success!). MC is, of course, the prettiest girl around, and overcomes the stepmother's ploys through some clever thinking and a willingness to use violence. Some suspension of disbelief later, the beginning of the story is quiet enjoyable, because the villains are mostly done in by their own arrogance and incompetence and MC gets to play at being an adorable tyke while enjoying the suffering of her enemies. Honestly, thinking back, I went through a lot of chapters and not much excitement happens after the stepmother gets demoted and confined to house. MC just goes about her day being rich and beautiful and smart enough to avoid some standard ploys by stepsister. ML is constantly there to help her out and is super devoted (like a yandere lo*icon with extra intensity and a desire for the throne that's somewhat unmentioned). Definitely more slice of life progresses and full of the 'everyone loves me' syndrome for MC, good at everything/domineering/possessive for the ML, and general incompetence for everyone else. The younger twin brother is regulated to sister complex and somewhat successful c*ck-block, unfortunately. This is the first story to actually make me feel somewhat sympathetic towards the discarded secondary MLs and the stepsister (MC was originally engaged to a pretty decent guy who gets summarily dumped when MC realizes love for ML, and the stepsister is narrow minded and spiteful, but failing at a ploy to get 2nd ML, she loses her v-card to 3rd ML, who's an all around a-hole, and becomes trapped in what looks to be a terrible marriage). The last half is dragging a bit (she's 14 now and finally engaged and with only one potential enemy at the moment) with the introduction of what looks like 4th ML, but will keep reading just to see them finally get married.

Translation is great though, makes it super readable, the added pictures are helpful. Some typos and grammar issues, but ignorable.

*spoler (?) *But the only thing that's a no-no for me is the fact that the MC allergic to cute fluffy animal :C Also the ML... 9yrs older.. Maybe Autor-san.. you may overdid a bit..

My third attempt to read this novel because I need to be done with it. Lol.

Wei Luo was sold off by her stepmother at the age of 6. But, something went wrong and she was later adopted by a couple in the country-side to be raise as a ghost bride. She managed to escape from that fate but, unfortunately met her end before she found her true family. But, before her death she managed to know that her stepsister was betrothed to her former fiance. When Wei Luo was reborn back to the age of 6, she vowed to get revenge.

The main villain in the book was of course her stepmother. But, somehow the hatred in Wei Luo's heart was so deep that she was even against her stepsister who was almost 5 at that time, her fiance and her yet to be born stepbrother. In her heart, the only person that matter was her twin brother who happened to be a sister-con.

At first, I was happy with the face-slapping. But, after a while, I just wanted to slap Wei Luo myself. She was so badly written that she came out as annoying and spoiled. To make matter worst, the male lead was not even better. One annoying female lead and one annoying male lead made my world go dark. But, the novel was famous. And so, I have to read it just to get it done with.

her step mom, who killed her in her previous life,

Although I wish they could have written more about the brother's love life, and let him move on from being a siscon. I was rooting for him and that younger Gao girl.
