Description
Shen Yourong, as the eldest daughter of the Duke’s household, engraved the word “propriety” into her bones. Her words and actions never faltered. She neither harbored secret affections at a young age, nor engaged in the childhood antics of love-hate relationships. Moreover, she never encountered any strange encounters while traveling, smoothly embodying the epitome of a noblewoman. The only hiccup in her otherwise flawless life was her marriage, which didn’t go smoothly. Despite discussing marriage with her nephew, she ended up marrying her uncle, which was quite embarrassing. The Emperor, advancing in age, favored the fourth prince, Ji Chengyao, for the heir position. The fourth prince’s foster mother, Lady Shu Fei, hinted at a marriage alliance between Shen Yourong’s maternal family, the Duke of Qi’s household, and the fourth prince. Both overtly and covertly, they suggested that Shen Yourong should befriend the fourth prince. Ji Zhuo always felt that Shen Yourong, this so-called model noblewoman, was not as genuine as she appeared. A noblewoman who seemed diligent and earnest shouldn’t be casually snacking on melon seeds while watching the fourth prince flirt with other girls, as her family tried to curry favor with him.

My Thoughts on The Noble Girl Is Beautiful
"The Noble Girl Is Beautiful" is a completed historical romance novel that offers a glimpse into the life of Shen Yourong, a young noblewoman in ancient China. While it didn't completely sweep me off my feet, it had enough charm to keep me reading, though I can understand why opinions seem to be a bit divided.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a historical slice-of-life story. The idea of a proper, rule-abiding noble lady with hidden depths intrigued me. The setup, with the budding romance between Shen Yourong and the Emperor's younger brother, King Ji, felt like it had potential for both sweet moments and political intrigue.
What Works Well
The novel shines in its portrayal of the Shen family, particularly the relationships between the sisters. It's refreshing to see a Chinese historical novel where the female characters aren't constantly at each other's throats. The bond between them feels genuine, even with the occasional jealousy. I also appreciated the author's attempt to create realistic teenage characters who act their age, a welcome change from the often-overused trope of transmigrated adults in young bodies. The writing itself is beautiful, really drawing you into the FL's mind and feelings.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some aspects of the novel less appealing. The romance between the leads felt a bit rushed and lacked depth. The age gap between the 14-year-old female lead and the 24-year-old male lead might make some readers uncomfortable. The male lead's initial manipulative behavior didn't sit well with me, although the author attempts to soften his image later on. I also felt that the ending was a bit abrupt and could have explored the male lead's ambitions more thoroughly.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Noble Girl Is Beautiful" is a decent read, especially if you're looking for a lighthearted slice-of-life historical novel with a focus on family relationships. While the romance and political intrigue might not be as developed as some readers would like, the novel's strengths lie in its characters and its depiction of sisterhood. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's not a masterpiece, but it's an enjoyable way to spend some time.
