5 STARS - I LOVED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was so good! All of the arcs were varied and interesting on their own. I was surprised at how some arcs were pretty long around 30+ chapters while some arcs were pretty short around 10 chapters but still managed to have enough plot and resolution to keep you wanting to read more. 

Chu Xiang was a great character to read about. Because she suffered from loving a man too much to the point that she became a villainess before she transmigrated, she learned that instead of wasting time loving a man, it's better to love herself and live happily instead. Her happiness was the most important, which made her decide to transmigrate and have fun in different worlds. I loved how Chu Xiang loves learning and how she constantly reused the skills she learned in her previous transmigrations whenever it was applicable in her current transmigrations. 

To occupy a person's body, she fulfills their last wishes, so most arcs are about her counterattacking all of the people who harmed the original owners' body and then living her best life. I enjoyed watching her pit her enemies step by step without them even knowing it. 

She's so smart and confident that even when she doesn't mean to become popular, her queenly aura fascinates people and makes her constantly appear on the hot search like in the front line station arc lol. I also appreciate that she doesn't fall in love in every arc because doesn't find anyone that interests her like in the apocalypse arc. The fact that she's a face-con and subconsciously influenced her sect to add a requirement that new recruits must be beautiful was also hilarious. 

And the ending! I had wondered how the author was going to end the book since there wasn't an overarching plot in between transmigrations and was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved the ending. Chu Xiang's possibilities are endless, and I wouldn't mind reading a sequel or spinoff based off of the ending.
