Description
As a noble young lady from the Boling Cui family, Cui Yunzhao never imagined that when she proposed a divorce, Huo Tan would dare to agree so readily. Of course, their marriage were forced due to the selfish desires of Cui Yunzhao’s uncle, who forced the match. A marriage like that was better off avoided. No matter how capable he was or how respected he was as a young general in Bo Ling, he was still a rough man from a military background. He rarely spoke kindly and had no understanding of cherishing women. Just thinking about it exhausted Cui Yunzhao, it was better to end it sooner. After the divorce, Huo Tan soared higher and became the revered young emperor everyone admired, while Cui Yunzhao became a laughingstock throughout Bianjing. Cui Yunzhao lived alone in a villa far away from Bianjing, thinking that she would live a peaceful life like this, but the most poisonous drug in the world took her life in advance. In her final moments of agony, she heard a voice saying softly, “That person’s heart is truly ruthless.” At that time, Cui Yunzhao felt her life had been absurdly ridiculous. If she could have a second chance, she would live this life to the fullest. When she opens her eyes again, Cui Yunzhao finds herself back on the night of her wedding to Huo Tan. Seeing the man’s strong, lean figure, she narrows her fox-like eyes and pushes him into the bridal chamber. Since this man is destined to rise, she will use him as her tool. She is determined to uncover everything from her previous life, find out who killed her, and live this life to the fullest! On the wedding night, with her snow-like skin and flower-like red lips, her sweet fragrance fills Huo Tan’s nose. She looks down at him from a high vantage. “This time, you fell into my hands.” The young general was handsome and unparalleled, gazes deeply at the stunning beauty before him, his eyes holding nothing else. “Let’s see who ends up in whose hands,” he replies.

My Thoughts on Embrace the Gleaming Light
"Embrace the Gleaming Light" is a completed historical romance with a strong second-chance element, and I dove in expecting a compelling tale of redemption and intrigue. Did it fully deliver? Well, let's get into it.
First Impressions
The premise immediately hooked me: a female lead reborn into her past, armed with the knowledge of her previous life's tragic end. It promised a clever protagonist navigating the treacherous waters of ancient Chinese politics and a potentially fulfilling romance, and while the beginning showed great promise, I did find that the story stumbled a bit as it went on.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel undoubtedly lies in its central couple. The female lead's growth is significant and well-executed. She starts as someone flawed and evolves into a more mature, thoughtful person in her second life, which makes her journey quite satisfying to follow. Her relationship with the male lead is a highlight; it's built on trust, respect, and genuine partnership. I appreciated that their connection felt stable and functional early on, making their dynamic enjoyable. The story avoids the common trope of an "overpowered" lead, which I found refreshing. Instead, the protagonist takes measured steps, and the clues to the mysteries surrounding her previous death unfold gradually, adding to the intrigue. The political backdrop adds depth and complexity to the story, making the world feel more realistic.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed many aspects of "Embrace the Gleaming Light," some issues held it back. The pacing, for one, felt uneven. The core romance resolves relatively early, but the subsequent chapters sometimes felt like filler, with side plots that didn't quite land. Additionally, the resolutions for some of the antagonists felt rushed and lacked impact, which was a bit disappointing given their build-up. The male lead, while charming, could have used more depth. His unwavering love for the protagonist felt somewhat idealized, and I wished there was more insight into his perspective.

Final Verdict
"Embrace the Gleaming Light" is a decent read with some truly charming elements, especially the central couple and the protagonist's growth. However, pacing issues and underdeveloped aspects prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a historical romance with a strong female lead and don't mind a few bumps along the way, this might be worth your time.
