Description
Cheng Yujin was the elder twin sister, who was supposed to be engaged to an excellent man. However she later learned that her fiance, Marquis Jingyong, had proposed to her because he mistakenly recognized her as her younger twin sister. Marquis Jingyong and her younger sister had a deep relationship, and after many twists and turns, finally broke through all hardships and became eternal lovers. While Cheng Yujin was the villain who replaced her sister’s good marriage, kept framing her sister, and hindered the main couple to be together. A really wicked older sister and poisonous late wife. After the younger twin sister was reborn, she revealed Cheng Yujin’s ‘conspiracy’ early on. Everyone scorned her, and her so-called fiance was indifferent. Cheng Yujin sneered and tore off their engagement letter in front of her fiance. Everyone was gloating and happily waiting to see her regret her actions. However, before Marquis Jingyong had a chance to see Cheng Yujin’s regret, he saw his former fiancee marrying her uncle. The ninth uncle of Cheng family was truly a hidden dragon, his real power frightening everyone. *** Cheng Yujin, this coquettish little wife, lightly lifted her eyebrows and casually said, “A mere Marquis Jingyong, is he worthy? Do you think that robbing him away will affect me?” Almost forgot to say, ninth uncle wasn’t surnamed Cheng. His real name was Li Chengjing, the crown prince.

My Thoughts on Greetings, Ninth Uncle
"Greetings, Ninth Uncle" initially drew me in with its intriguing premise: a capable female lead navigating ancient Chinese aristocracy, armed with the foreknowledge of a previous life. This isn't a revenge-driven rebirth story, which is a refreshing change of pace. Instead, it's about a woman named Cheng Yujin striving for a comfortable and secure future in a society that often undervalues women.
First Impressions
The story immediately throws you into Cheng Yujin's complex family dynamics. Raised in an awkward position between two mothers, she's forced to mature quickly, becoming a model young lady to secure a good marriage. This pragmatic approach to life, prioritizing wealth and stability over fleeting emotions, made her a compelling character from the start. I was immediately invested in seeing how she would navigate the treacherous waters of arranged marriages and courtly intrigue.
What Works Well
Many readers, including myself, found the character development to be a major strength. Cheng Yujin isn't your typical "Mary Sue" protagonist. She's clever, ambitious, and even manipulative, but these traits are born from her circumstances. She's not afraid to scheme and use her talents to get ahead, and I appreciated that the story doesn't shy away from portraying her "ugly" characteristics, making her feel incredibly realistic.
The romance between Cheng Yujin and her "ninth uncle," Li Chengjing, is another highlight. Their relationship develops gradually, built on mutual respect and understanding. I particularly enjoyed how the male lead respects her boundaries and allows her to be herself, even when her actions challenge his own desires. Their interactions are often subtle but deeply meaningful, creating a harmonious and serene romance that feels earned.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, some readers found the pacing to be slow at times, with lengthy descriptions that occasionally detracted from the main plot. Also, some readers found the main character to be too calculating and unemotional, making it difficult to connect with her on a deeper level.

Final Verdict
Despite some minor flaws, "Greetings, Ninth Uncle" is a well-written and engaging historical romance that I wholeheartedly recommend. The strong female lead, the nuanced romance, and the intricate court intrigues combine to create a satisfying and thought-provoking read. If you enjoy stories with clever protagonists, realistic character development, and a touch of political maneuvering, this novel is definitely worth your time.
