MC despite being depicted as smart and strong keeps on making novice mistakes and letting the bad guys escape with a slap of the wrist, especially the main antagonists like the Shu Family. This of course results on more dog blood drama later on.

Then as mentioned above, MC and ML suddenly become intimate and somehow formed an unspoken romantic relationship than quickly escalated within three times it was mentioned, from pretending to be a couple (Which was forced by the ML), to suddenly talking about becoming a real couple when MC was asked by her Grandma, to now then openly talking about engagement and marriage. Fairly certain it was just mainly business and friendship beforehand but abruptly, they are now a pair of lovebirds.

My impression of MC is she's somewhat of an indifferent type, but definitely not unfeeling. I still had no idea what exactly she did in the past life cause the author kept it vague, but she's a very capable aide to some kind of boss (the mafia probably) so she definitely has both brain and brawn. She only worked with the boss because she wanted to avenge the death of her parents. As she grew up alone in her past life, she didn't really care about family and that's why at first she didn't intend to look for her biological parents. After some series of events she ended up going to her biological family's home and she chose to stay in the end because her family's love for their lost daughter moved her

Her father is not the abusive type father who scorns daughters, overindulge sons etc. you get my idea. He loves his children and is willing to spend his money to find MC at the expense of their livelihood and even go to places where he heard clues of MC's whereabouts.

Her mother belongs to the typical timid, a bit idiotic mothers though, but just like her husband she loves her children too so although she has her own shortcomings she got an okay in my books.

And as for the granny, I'm very impressed by her because for once she's a grandma who doesn't deride her son's decision to look for his daughter (most of the grannies in these stories 9/10 would do it) and even shows some support for him. She doesn't really like MC's mother because of her family (MC's maternal grandmother f*cking sold her own granddaughter and later in the story tried to sell MC's younger siblings) but she doesn't mistreat her either. One hilarious grandmother-granddaughter bonding moment is when they talk about MC's elder sister who has been married off to someone from the neighboring village for a few years but still not pregnant yet. The grandma felt bad about this (you know these people think how women are to blame when they aren't pregnant after a long time) but then MC explains that it might also be the husband's fault. Grandma is successfully "brainwashed" lmao

MC's younger siblings are twins, the typical bullied siblings where the sister is the timid one and the brother tries to act mature. Idc tho I still love them regardless they're so cute. As for MC's elder sister I still don't know much cause she hasn't made any appearance yet, but she's by no means the jealous sister or anything. And while most of her closest family are on her side, there are definitely the greedy or scheming ones like her MC's maternal family, the youngest uncle's family (who's gluttonous af but at this point they are like MC's lackeys lmao), and (possibly) her eldest uncle's wife

I found it upsetting at the whole bit when they were dealing with the oldest aunt's husband. It was very homophobic, in my opinion, despite the author adding a blurb about how MC isn't against a person being gay but lets give him a terrible end anyway because he used this other character as a beard. Like, of course, he was going to marry a woman despite being homosexual. This era is supposedly based in Ancient China, when Confucianism was rampant. And I know it is because a big part of his philosophy was filial piety. Having children was considered being filial, since it meant the son was continuing the bloodline. Being homos*xual was frown upon because it meant you weren't doing your duty to your parents by having children. It was only the rich that had more leeway in this area since they could keep a male lover. Anywho, the author goes all out on this man, having the MC exposing him to everyone, making him supposedly go insane and then having his eyes gouged out and tongue cut because he thought the ML was hot. Like wow, tell me you really dislike gay people without telling me you dislike gay people.

There are a few major arcs in the story if I can remember

• • The excile to the south west

• • The black market in Changan (?) or the place where the ML's uncle and family lived / the main house of the escort agency

• • The black market in the south west

There are other plots in the story but I think the story really focuses on finding missing family, fixing families, marriages and face slapping for the satisfaction of the aggrieved party

Its a happily ever after ending really. I only wish theres more about the MC's master. The master felt like their only important role was to say yes to something the MC needed at one point in the story and when they were held hostage they just... Sit down and waited? I mean sure since they know whats going to happen??? They were the only character that I wished the author could have given more depth since they were the one that originally pushed the MC to the begining of the story. I just didnt find closure in this honestly.

she did exchange her soul to the original body and the other shuyu saved the MC's parents which prevented the MC's original tragedy
