When the male and female guests were ambiguous with each other, Lu Hao's face was paralyzed and commented, 

"The man is too greasy and too hard, and he looks like the old sea king." 

When the new male guest introduced himself, Lu Hao had no expression on his face, 

"Versailles" 

"The taste is too strong, and it looks like a master of Versailles." 

The female guest blinked her deer-like eyes, and when she was madly sucking the powder, Lu Biao said, 

"There is a high-end green tea flavor." 

Because of the eyes of invincible Jian green tea, As well as real's straightforward speech, Lu Zhuo became a hit overnight. 

The fire is extremely hot.

Later, the actor who is also a mentor smiled and asked Lu Zhao, "Teacher Lu, look, which one am I?" 

Introduction: Sister is just a legend: the Jedi counterattack, turn against the wind, and create myths. 

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I've read a lot of this author's books recently, and this had to be one of the funniest one's I've read yet! 

I loved how blunt and honest Lu Hao (not 100% sure if that's her name because I MTL, and there were a lot of different variations lol) was whenever she commented on people. She was too honest and kept on shocking everyone into speechlessness! 

And the summary doesn't even hint at the main plot, which was so good and interesting! I stayed up late reading this novel because I couldn't help but want to continue to see how see how she would avoid situations with the female lead and when she would reveal herself to her friend lol. 

I would definitely recommend if you want to read something funny and romantic with lots of faceslaps.

Summary from jjwxc:

Jiang Hongping was reborn, and immediately surrendered his marriage to Qi Heng to his cousin Jiang Shuangling. She married Qi Heng in the previous life and was driven back within a few days. Marriage can only marry a poor lame man, this time you can't say anything to be a stepmother.

The other party's oil bottle son is the devil! ! !


Jiang Shuangling traveled to the 1970s, what? Let her marry, after weighing the pros and cons, it is better to marry than to stay at her uncle’s house and marry with her younger brother.


Jiang Shuangling was shocked when he saw each other for the first time.

Just look at this face, this figure, she can!

Isn't it just being a stepmother for someone? ! !


The first meeting of the reorganized family: once twenty-nine-year-old urban white-collar Jiang Shuangling scanned the faces of cheap brothers, cheap sons, and cheap husbands, thinking: all present are younger brothers.


The younger brother carefully took her hand and called her affectionately: A sister's 

son opened his mouth and stopped talking.

Jiang Shuangling calmly said: You can also call me sister.

The man next to him turned black: He called your sister, what do you call me? dad?

Jiang Shuangling spread her hands: It's not impossible.


This article is a sweet essay for a female protagonist who can make her life particularly happy no matter when and where she is.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was a cute slice of life comedy about a painter who was transmigrated 50 years into the past back into the 70s. She had a flash marriage and became a stepmom to escape her aunt and uncle's house with her little brother, and they lived happily ever after :D 

The kids' antics were amusing, the romance was sweet and funny, and there wasn't much drama, so it was a relaxing read for the weekend. 

Overall, highly recommend if you're in the mood for something calm but amusing.


Title: Miss Cannon Fodder Wants To Escape Death Flags
Author: 纪婴
Chapters: 133 chapters 
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

After entering a male orientated cultivation novel, Ning Ning originally planned to carefully follow the planned storyline, but only to discover that there was something not quite right about this world.

Within the sect, her senior brother relies on everyone around him for his cultivation progress, her senior sister sells information of their sect elders and her peers for money, while her master was so dirt poor that it makes one’s hairs stand on their end, and drinks water gathered from 82 years ago every single day.

Outside of her sect, those Buddhist practitioners cultivated arduously, chanting scriptures akin to singing rap, their lips moving so quickly that sparks would fly; those sword practitioners treated their swords like their beloved wives, yet struggling to become courtesans to support their families, with their love stories deeply touching the hearts of many; those music practitioners treat temple bells as weapons, and excels in flinging their bells to strike people down.

Ning Ning : “…”

There’s no use saving this world. Just let it get destroyed. Sooner or later, this cultivation world will come to an end.

*

Ning Ning had crossed over into a cultivation novel world with the identity of an evil junior sister.

If she wanted to live, she needed to follow the story line and continue to court death with her actions.

Target number 1: The noble and benevolent eldest senior brother

Senior brother possessed Innate Sword Bones, and unsurpassed cultivation. Ning Ning requested for a late night private meeting, only for the former to smile faintly and nod his head: “Do you want to learn…something that doesn’t suit your age?”

Therefore, as the night progressed, the eldest senior brother brought out an entire set of extremely difficult secret sword arts, with Ning Ning being forced to train arduously throughout the entire night, leaving her completely exhausted, with her heart being as dead as ashes.

Target number 2: The quiet, sick and handsome elder

The elder’s cultivation was destroyed during the great war, and retreated into the mountains to recuperate alone.

Taking advantage of his playing the zither, Ning Ning originally wished to head up and cause trouble. However, after bumping into and inhaling a poisonous fragrance from a flower, she was paralyzed, having to endure excruciating pain, causing waves of tears to stream down her face.

Seeing her tearful gaze, the elder merely assumed that he had finally met someone with good music taste and she had started to cry because she had become too happy hearing his zither. He got happy to the point where he almost wanted to pull everyone together to sing the song “Good Luck’s coming”.

Target number 3: Arrogant and antisocial junior brother

According to the original storyline, the junior brother, main male character, was born in poverty, had an impure bloodline, was discriminated against within the sect, and got bullied to the point of being completely riddled with wounds.

Ning Ning knocked away the immortal spring water that he was using to treat his injuries. In the end, the immortal spring water had long been swapped by other people with an extremely corrosive poison, which splashed all over her legs.

The youth squatted down, and gently rubbed away the bloodstains on the girl’s calf: “Why did you help me?”

As if the story wasn’t any weirder enough, it took a weirder turn.

The ever so malicious youth buried his head in her neck, his voice racked with sobs, in which it hid an intense servitude and thirst.

“Don’t leave me behind.”

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW:

I have not laughed so much reading a novel in a while! There were so many scenes where I almost busted a gut laughing so hard! The impersonating master seduction scene! The touching porcelain argument! The selling misery competition!

And Ning Ning's intelligence! The whole setup and manipulations and plans where so good! The reversals were so satisfying! It was like watching Mission Impossible: Cultivation Edition lol.

This novel was part comedy, mystery, and romance. Honestly, the romance was a little too much UST, especially towards the end for me. Normally, I like reading about the sexual tension between the main characters, but I felt like it detracted from the plot too much since it focused on these scenes for too long. 

However, I definitely recommend this book if you like cultivation novels, want to laugh at sand sculpture characters, or like smart protagonists!
