Description
The fat cat Black Tubby said, “Supreme Commander is a good person, meow!” The bird Grandfather Sparrow said, “Supreme Commander is a good person, chirp!” The little mouse Oil Jar also said, “Supreme Commander is a good person, squeak!” Furthermore, the weasel Great Immortal said, “You and Supreme Commander are a match made in Heaven~” All of the little animals told Ning Xiaoyao about Supreme Commander, Supreme Commander, Supreme Commander! So, Ning Xiaoyao believed that this Supreme Commander named Lou Zigui had to be a good guy. As to whether or not they were a match made in Heaven… The fat cat Black Tubby clawed at Ning Xiaoyao. “You wrote the decree sentencing Supreme Commander to death in the execution grounds, ah! You fatuous, self-indulgent ruler!!!” Ning Xiayao replied, “…” — Ning Xiaoyao is a genetically evolved army doctor from a zombie-infested apocalyptic world. One day, she transmigrates to the past as the next emperor of an ancient country. But wait, isn’t she a girl?! As it turns out, she’s a disguised stand-in for her baby brother under the “loving” care of the empress dowager, her mother and future mu*derer. Faced with her impending death, Ning Xiaoyao must thwart the schemes of her family to survive in a palace allied against her. But how does a zombie-killing expert with supernormal strength, healing powers, and the ability to understand animals deal with the intricacies of court politics? “If nothing else works, I’ll just beat them all up!”

My Thoughts on Unruly Phoenix Xiaoyao
"Unruly Phoenix Xiaoyao" has been quite the ride! With its blend of action, comedy, gender-bending, and romance, it's a novel that definitely tries to offer a little something for everyone. I went in expecting a lighthearted romp, and while I got that in many ways, there were also some elements that gave me pause.
First Impressions
The initial chapters definitely hooked me with their humor. The premise of a zombie apocalypse survivor transmigrating into ancient China is inherently absurd, and the author leans into it beautifully. I found myself chuckling at the MC's fish-out-of-water reactions and her interactions with the animal kingdom. It's definitely a unique spin on the transmigration trope.
What Works Well
The comedy is a definite highlight. The MC, Ning Xiaoyao, is unapologetically herself, and her interactions with the more traditional characters create some genuinely hilarious moments. Her "shameless, righteous, courageous, and humorous" personality, as one reader put it, is quite endearing. Also, her ability to talk to animals provides endless opportunities for amusing side plots and quick conflict resolution, which I appreciated. I enjoyed the characters that were adopted by the MC, especially the doting older siblings.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the humor, I do have to acknowledge some of the criticisms I've seen. The MC's naivete, while initially charming, can become frustrating. It felt a little unbelievable that someone from a zombie-infested world would be so easily manipulated. The male lead, Zi Gui, is a particularly divisive character. His actions, especially his hesitation to save the MC when she was pregnant, are difficult to forgive. I can see why some readers feel he doesn't deserve her. I also saw complaints about the plot dragging on and becoming repetitive, which I can understand.

Final Verdict
"Unruly Phoenix Xiaoyao" is a mixed bag. It's a fun, lighthearted read with plenty of humor and a unique premise. However, the flawed characters and questionable plot choices can be frustrating. If you're looking for a novel that doesn't take itself too seriously and are willing to overlook some of its flaws, you might enjoy it. However, if you're looking for a deeply complex and morally consistent story, this might not be the one for you. I'd give it a tentative recommendation, with the caveat that your mileage may vary.
