I need to talk about Liu Yun because WOW. She's not your typical protagonist. She's literally described as "fairly speaking, her appearance could only be described as lovely; she did not stand out particularly in Yanjing." She's not the most beautiful girl in the room. She's not the most ambitious. She's soft, kind, a little timid. And that's what makes her so damn compelling. The way she treats her maid Jin He — calling her "Sister," letting her skip powder because her skin is already perfect — that's not performative kindness, that's just who she is. And her relationship with her mother Zhang Yuhua? "Among the items were several of Liu Yun's favorite pastries and a lychee drink chilled with ice." Her mother packs her favorite things, worries about insect bites, and Liu Yun thinks "in her next life, the life after that, and for all eternity, she could be her mother's daughter." I'm not crying, you're crying. Then there's Zhenzhen — Chen Wei, her confidante since age nine. These two feel REAL. The swing scene, competing to pick flowers, Zhenzhen pretending to beg for the hairpin... this is the kind of friendship that makes you nostalgic for your own childhood bestie. And Liu Yun's reaction to the Crown Prince? She doesn't swoon, she's SCARED. "That one look made Liu Yun's heart stop." She's intimidated by power, not drawn to it. That's a character who knows herself.
Let me just quote this exchange and explain why it's perfect: 'Is she really going to be a ticket seller? Don't get your hopes up for nothing.' 'What do you mean by that?' Meng Suling and Huang Caiying questioned in unison. Two sentences. One character almost ruins her own scheme. The way Ke Guixiang's slip of the tongue triggers an immediate defensive chorus from her mother and sister-in-law—it's so natural. Real families don't investigate; they react. They close ranks before they even understand what's happening. That's not writing; that's observation. And Miao Yunwei's dialogue is a revelation. In her past life, she was described as soft, easy to bully. But listen to this: 'Mom, why would I try to talk you out of it? Splitting the family is good.' That's not a teenager being difficult. That's a woman who has lived through the consequences of family loyalty and decided it wasn't worth it. Her voice is calm, precise, and devastating. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't need to. The grandmother's voice is equally distinct—chatty, performative, with that sharp undercurrent of calculation. 'What are you talking about? It's just a temporary job. Alright, enough said. I need to go back and cook for the whole family!' The fake modesty, the quick exit, the domestic deflection—it's a whole personality in three sentences. What strikes me most is how the dialogue reveals power dynamics without any narration telling us who's winning. When Miao Jianguo says 'Let's go! Mom will take you to see the office director. We'll make things clear—today, no matter what, I'm getting this job back for you!'—you can hear a father finally drawing a line. The dialogue carries the emotion so efficiently that the author barely needs to describe it.
Okay so I have to talk about how this whole graduation arc plays out because honestly it's one of those moments where the author could have just wrapped it up with a boring thesis defense scene but instead chose to layer in actual stakes. Chu Xuan finishes his practicum, the assessment crew comes in like locusts stripping the lab bare, and then—boom—9.3% yield increase. That number matters because it's not some inflated ninety percent or something that breaks the reader's suspension of disbelief. It's a realistic, grounded improvement that still feels like a genuine achievement. The plot here is doing something clever: it's showing us the payoff of the entire build-up without needing a dramatic explosion or a villain confrontation. The tension was always about whether his research would actually work, and it did. What I found really interesting is the subplot threading through this—the civilization fortune concept, the Space expansion, the sign-in rewards all converging toward this moment where Chu Xuan is basically positioned to level up from a student to a researcher with real resources. And then the graduation itself becomes a launching pad rather than an ending. He's applying for in-post research, still in high-fat rapeseed, and the advisor is basically stunned that a botany student pushed the Federation No. 9 emergency plan forward. That's a plot detail that hints at a much larger world and conflict than what we've seen so far. The Jupiter Crisis, the underground city, the Space Station—all of these are background elements that are starting to press against the edges of Chu Xuan's world. I'm genuinely curious where the plot takes him next because right now he's at this perfect inflection point where he has skills, resources, and freedom but also this looming sense that the surface world is about to become a factor.

After reading 26 chapters, I can say that the creation of the system has improved. The mysteries part in the beginning are gradually becoming clearer. As time goes by, the story becomes more engaging, especially the world-building.
