Would I reread this beginning? Probably, because the little details—like the cost of white flour, or the kids’ cold hands—stick with me. It’s the kind of story that rewards a second look once you know the characters better. So yes, I think it has reread value.
I was immediately hooked when Jiang Yuxi arrived on Aister Star and basically lied about being an outstanding graduate to get the planet lord on her side. It's such a smart move—she knows nobody here will fact-check her since it's such a backwater planet. I love how she uses her status to get resources. Pretty brutal that the original owner killed herself though, you can feel the pressure she must have been under.
Cai Ming the eunuch is such a satisfying target for Fatty’s violence. He represents the petty, scheming court official vibe. The way his finger is “cracked” and he’s stepped on is incredibly graphic and satisfying. The author doesn’t shy away from making the reader enjoy the humiliation of a bad guy. But it also feels a bit power-fantasy-ish. Like, every obstacle is solved by physical dominance. I hope the story introduces more complex challenges later, or the revenge plot might get repetitive.
