Creating a poison apple and then luring a goblin with its scent? That was savage. The goblin takes a bite, drops dead instantly, and the weed gets the XP plus a fresh corpse to drain. It’s a perfect loop. But then a horned rabbit eats the next one and ruins the chain—realistic but frustrating.
That part where Shu Yue checks the calendar and sees 1975 made my heart skip a beat. The little detail of the leader portrait and the specific date really sells the setting. It’s those small touches that make the time period feel real and immersive, even if the story is a bit dramatic.
The uncle sending 3万 is such a small amount by society's standards, but you can feel how much it meant. Su Ning’s family is gone, but he had built another one. The guilt he must feel for cutting them off and going to die alone is crushing. I wish he would just tell them, but I understand why he doesn’t want to be a burden.
The uncles showing up at the grave is peak drama. They’re mad she’s paying respects, they’re mad she inherited the house, they’re just mad she exists. Lin Meng snapping back about the three million yuan debt was chef’s kiss. She didn’t back down for a second. I love a female lead who stands her ground even when her wrist is burning with mysterious pain.
The courtroom chaos where Li Shi hits her own granddaughter and then falls on the nail board was pure gold. That's karma in action, and it had me cackling. And the magistrate getting completely led by Xingnong's logic was hilarious. "So who caused the disturbance?" – she basically won without throwing a single punch. I love moments where the hero uses words instead of violence. The comedic timing was spot on.
The overall reading experience is gripping. I started thinking it was just a fanfic parody, but it quickly becomes a survival story. The emotional beats hit, the world is rich, and Bai Ze is a protagonist I can get behind. I’ll definitely read the next part.
