Description
In her previous life, Song Tangning was the most pampered lady in the capital, but because of a concubine-born woman, she died at the hands of her own dear brother and her childhood fiancé. They took everything from her, destroyed her life, and raised the concubine-born woman like a shining sun while stepping on her like mud. Song Tangning was disfigured, had her legs broken, and was imprisoned in a dilapidated courtyard for years until she was strangled to death. Upon her rebirth, Tangning vowed never to be that stepping stone again. Her cold-hearted and biased brother? She disowned him. Her cousin who loved the white lotus? She cut ties. Her indecisive fiancé? She broke off the engagement. When the concubine-born woman’s true face was exposed, her brothers and ex-fiancé knelt before her, begging for forgiveness. Song Tangning remained indifferent: “Forgiveness? Hmph, I’d rather burn you to ashes and scatter them to the wind.” She already had a new “brother”—although this new brother was a eunuch with a bad reputation, known for his cruelty and ruthlessness. Just the mention of “Chief Eunuch” could make children cry. Yet, when he called her “Little Begonia,” his voice was as gentle as can be. … When Xiao Yan was first alone with Tangning, people whispered that it was inappropriate: “I am a eunuch,” he said, “What propriety?” Later, in a room filled with warm fragrance, Xiao Yan held the little girl whose eyes were flushed from drinking: “Little Begonia, your brother dotes on you.” …

My Thoughts on Chuntang Wants To Get Drunk
"Chuntang Wants To Get Drunk" is a wild ride, and despite its somewhat misleading title (apparently, the FL never gets drunk!), it's a palace intrigue story that kept me hooked. With a revenge plot simmering beneath the surface and a slow-burn romance, this novel offers a lot for readers who enjoy complex characters and high-stakes political maneuvering.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a cunning female lead and a mysterious male lead. The premise of an adopted sister and "fake eunuch" navigating a treacherous palace environment definitely piqued my interest. I dived in expecting a typical revenge story, but quickly found a much deeper, more intricate narrative.
What Works Well
The relationship between the female lead, Song Tangning, and the male lead, Xiao Yan, is undoubtedly the heart of the story. I particularly enjoyed watching Tangning's gradual transformation from a somewhat naive and revenge-driven character into a more strategic and capable woman. Xiao Yan's role as her mentor and protector, while also battling his own demons, adds another layer of complexity to their bond. Their dynamic, though unconventional, is compelling and satisfying to watch unfold.
Furthermore, the palace intrigue itself is masterfully crafted. The author doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of court life, and the villains are portrayed as intelligent and formidable opponents. The plot kept me guessing, and I appreciated that the story wasn't solely focused on the female lead's revenge but also explored the broader political landscape and the secrets surrounding the male lead's origins. The pacing felt well-managed, keeping me engaged throughout the story.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the majority of the novel, I can see how certain aspects might not appeal to all readers. The shift in the leads' relationship from siblings to lovers could be off-putting for some. Also, the sheer amount of drama and extended confrontations might feel tedious at times.

Overall, "Chuntang Wants To Get Drunk" is a worthwhile read if you're a fan of palace intrigue, complex characters, and slow-burn romances. Despite some potential drawbacks, the engaging plot, well-developed characters, and intricate political maneuvering make it a compelling and satisfying story. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a long, immersive read with plenty of twists and turns.
