Su Chengyun is being a sweetheart. The way he immediately suspects she’s in danger and calls to check, then offers to help with money without hesitation—good brother material. Their relationship feels genuine and not just for plot convenience. I hope he stays safe.
The baby perspective is innovative. Regis has adult thoughts but infant limitations, leading to situations like when he cries "auu" or when he can't control his bowels. It adds a layer of complexity to his character development when he eventually grows. The contrast between his internal thoughts and external actions is amusing.
I love that Honglian and Xiangyun are sticking with Su Nuannuan despite her terrible treatment of them in the past. It shows that even the terrible original Su Mengnuan had some redeeming qualities that inspired loyalty. Or maybe those two are just really patient and faithful servants. Either way, they're good supporting characters.
I have to admit, the scene where Xu Ying pushes Xu Yuan off the balcony is intense. The heel pressing on her fingers, the cold speech about "you committed suicide"—chilling. It really shows how ruthless the sister is. And the way Xu Yuan still tries to reason with her even then? Shows how naive she was in her first life. Makes the revenge arc more satisfying.
The pacing of the first few chapters is brisk, but I’m worried it might slow down once the treasure chest hunting becomes routine. The system could become repetitive if there’s no variety in how chests are found or opened.
The Eastern Count's motivation is just... disgusting. Going to war for a child bride? It makes him a truly hateable villain. But it also explains why the Jotun family rushed the engagement with Crain. They were desperate to protect their daughter. It adds a tragic layer to the whole mess. Crain is just caught in someone else's desperate plan to save their kid.
Bai Jie, the scammer girl, is described as “very white and very large” – that cracked me up. The author isn't subtle at all. Her whole act of pretending to be seduced while hiding her thug husband behind the door is classic trap. But seriously, “thirty-six D-cups that cost a lot of money”? That level of detail is both hilarious and unnecessary. I can't tell if the writing is intentionally campy or just bad.
1 The pacing is solid so far. The story doesn’t linger on the transmigration explanation—just drops you into the mess and lets you piece it together. It keeps the tension high without info-dumping, which I appreciate. I hate when a novel stops the action to explain everything.
