Chu Wang Fei

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

She, the prime minister’s daughter, was timid and cowardly. Because her engagement fell through, and her reputation was ruined, she was pressured to spill her own blood in the palace hall! Once again opening her eyes, the cowardice had vanished, replaced by coldness, causing others to be intimidated at first glance. Yet no one realized, she was not her.

He, the current dynasty’s Chu Wang, served the country and brought peace and stability. Peerless and magnificent, all the girls under the Heavens eagerly pursued him! He helped her break off her engagement in the palace hall, but she avoided him at a great distance. He set his mind to pursue her, but she didn’t intend to love him.

At home, the turbulent currents of government affairs surged violently, disputes from every country continued to spring up everywhere. The stunning her who had been reborn, and how she didn’t bat an eyelid to resolve that terrifying carnage; her name had shaken the whole world!

When the dust had settled, and the song and dance had ceased, who could hold hands with her and look upon this thousand-year golden age, this flourishing ten thousand miles? Nowadays in this land under the Heavens, everyone spoke of how Chu Wang was cunning and two-faced, he desired the whole world, and was someone they seriously could not provoke. Yet the one they could not provoke even more was his Wang Fei – Yun Qian Meng! Anyone who provoked Chu Wang Fei, must surely be prepared to lose their necks!

A breathtaking rebirth, a thrilling marriage, in the blink of an eye the once weak woman had become the honorable Chu Wang Fei!

Wang Fei: In the palace chambers, between the feasts, smiles are hiding daggers, with layers and layers of plots and machinations; those who hurt my flesh and blood will have to pay the price.

Chu Wang: In these troubled times, carrying the fire beacon, over thousands of miles of fortresses and mountains, I have traveled to the distance to these border stations; if you dare to hurt my wife I will take your life.

Wang Fei: In another country, in a foreign land, will his thoughts stay pure? The princess of another nation is graceful and beautiful, will “a pair of people for one life” change?

Chu Wang: Returning home, difficult problems arise. As green hills extend into the distance, beautiful flowers and tender feelings grow deeply; dealing with the ruler and his ministers is harder than rising into Heaven.

That night, all the monarchs struggled for power, smoke rising all around; that night, the husband and wife were separated, neither humble nor haughty; that night, the land was in great disorder, lying corpses filled the plains; that night, whose heart was confused, whose family was broken, whose country was lost?

In the chaos of war, during their separation, separated by thousands of miles of unmoving mountains and rivers, the gentleman’s heart and the wife’s heart never changed. In the lonely city without aid, hand in hand as before, they advanced together while chatting lightly about this West Chu country.

Our MC is brilliant. I love her. She is calm and collected and reasonable. Of course the ML is completely likable. Ugh, I can't wait until this is finished.

One of the best reincarnation novel type. The MC is so great and amazing, her enemies always leaves speechless. The male lead story still hast unfold but I'm expecting another great back up story about him. I totally recommend this. I just hope they will continue translating this.

Review as of Ch. 70.

Like previous reviewers, I agree that the pace is very slow. There are multiple connected chapters where the events described therein only consist of a single day (eg: the birthday banquet). However, this also means there is much plot dialogue and character intrigue to move the story along.

The story description and the title Chu Wang Fei are huge spoilers: we are told that the MC is basically going to be the future wife of someone awe inspiring but the slow paced nature of the story meant... more>> we have to wade through the motions of political machinations and jealous rivals for a long time before we get there. Indeed, 70 chapters in and the two main characters had barely met a handful of times.

Take the sharp tongued and cunning protagonist from “To Be A Virtuous Wife” and put her in a bleak and powerless setting of “Mei Gongqing” and you get Chu Wang Fei: a transmigrated woman taking over the body of a young lady who was unable to navigate the treacherous waters of a society where every action and spoken word can destroy one’s reputation.

The translation is good, though a new reader unfamiliar with this sort of setting and the associated speech mannerisms might be daunted by the number of terms which are left as is in the text and the explanations are in footers/headers. Some translators try to alleviate the problem by making a few short summaries to recap, as well as shortening the names into abbreviations which can either be helpful or an irritant, depending on the reader.

The new Yun Qian Meng, the titular Chu Wang Fei; is a very likable character in a world filled with people with very ugly characteristics: the greedy, the le*d, the ambitious, the jealous, the vicious. Already beautiful but now clever as well as strong willed, she surprised the people who knew the original; including the royalty who had snubbed her engagement at the start of the story. It can be quite familiar as the usual tropes appear: the distant father, the evil stepmother and stepsister, the biased and greedy elder... the usual love interests: the popular one, the gruff one and the unsociable one. An assortment of helpers: the sympathetic cousins and powerful relatives helpless to intervene in favor of the previous host body and so on. It is the dialogue, word play and the writing holding everything together that brings the best out of the cast of usual suspects.

The fantastical aspect of transmigration is pretty much a throwaway and not elaborated much upon, a fact which I find irritating in many such stories as these modern backgrounds only serve as a plot device to give the MCs mystical explanations for their new-found knowledge or sensibilities and little else.

Spoiler

My eyes rolled when the phrase "the world mixed martial arts champion" was suddenly thrown out there.

[collapse]

For a story like Chu Wang Fei it did not seem necessary at all, the original host could have simply woken up as a more bitter/cynical person (eg: Mei Gongqing).

But don’t let that detract from the rest of the story. Chu Wang Fei is a very well written palace drama-type story, the sort of drama where we read about the trials and tribulations of a bullied character catching the eyes of the most eligible bachelors of the land, thus drawing the enmity of those who sought such affections for themselves.

Except of course, the bullied character is no longer easily bullied, and therein lies the excitement in reading about how she overturns the odds against her time and again. <<less

One of my favourite stories so far! The MC is intelligent and she's calm and composed all the time. At first, the antagonists (or I named them as c*ckroaches) are really annoying like hell! Their shamelessness is embarrassing to watch. But yeah of course, the MC resolved everything tranquilly. One of a few best traits of her! She does not show off. The ML... Oh my... I simply love him. He is supportive yet gives her freedom she needs. He is sweet and romantic to MC but unwavering to other... more>> girls. Protective yet not overbearing. Definitely top notch ML! ??? <<less

It started off great.I liked how she gets back at people who try to hurt her but after the first couple of times, I seriously felt, "do these women have no other job?" "why are they so focused on the MC?" Though she repeatedly wins, they still keep coming at her.

Waiting for more chapters..

Good story but confusing to read... the names are confusing enough! But in the previous chapters a lot of words which were for tiltes & such were left in chinese with the meaning written at the top of the chapter... It was so so confusing :/

Now I think the TL's have made it easier to read... names are still confusing AF!

It’s a 3.5

It is very dramatic but it’s keeping me on edge and the drama is built the proper way. Like no drama out of nowhere... I like that kind of cold calculating FL, I take that over dumb Mary Sue any day lol. The romance is a bit shallow and over with fast. Also, it’s not quite clear what attracts ML to FL initially. For the 2nd and 3rd MLs, it’s crystal clear why they get hung up on FL. Besides that, it’s very political.
I really dislike the... more>> father’s male lead with passion. Among all the characters, he is the one I dislike the most worst than FL’s father. Even though both situation are similar. I hope he gets huge retribution. For FL’s father, his blood mother is also biased and selfish so no surprise that the son turned out that way. But for the ML’s father, his parents are so great that for the sake of god, I can’t understand how he (ml’s father) turned out that way? Anyway I don’t see a redemption for him. <<less

So far I still find myself interested with the story. The MC is the strong mind and smart type, though I do find the scheme and villain were not really that grand that made the MC seems amazing for conquering every bad intentions, but it's still acceptable and interesting at some point. Personally I don't find any interest with even the MC character in the story, but perhaps it's just a preference. Again even at this chapter there is still no sign of romance development, just some ML candidate being... more>> introduced lightly.

For the translation though, I find many translation like this, however sometimes it does kinda don't sit well with me. Ofc I'm very thankful with the translator for making me and many international reader able to get in touch with the story, but I hope they'll lessen the amount of untranslated words in the story that have a compatible phrase exchange in English words. For example like yinniang : concubine, laoye : old master and ect. As for the word like 'er adding were okay as there is not an actual word with meaning but some nuance adding pharase, like chan or San in Japanese. But for other word please translate it to a word that most close in the meaning so it'll make the reader less having a headache while read the story.

I'm myself is a person who only recently interested in Chinese novel, so it's hard for me to concentrate whenever reading the chinese novel with this type translation. Not to mention it's hard to even remember the name of the character as there is a lot of similarities between one name to another. T_T

Ps I'm gonna rate it when finish riding it 👍 <<less

The story has a great beginning but got dreary towards the end where I just skimmed through the chapters to know the story outline. I was frustrated that this wasn't completely translated but after MTL'ing it, I finally understand why the translators dropped this novel - it has ridiculously long chapters with repetitive dialogue. Especially the rebellion/wars arc that lasted like the last 80 chapters. The ending and the epilogue were just meh...
Spoiler

Also the author pulled a Twilight Jacob-Bella thing, with Qianmeng's daughter falling for Rong Yunhe which I found disgusting (16+ years age difference??)

I was a bit hesitant to start reading this novel after reading the reviews, but decided I would try it anyway. To my pleasant surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It was very entertaining watching the MC re-establish herself and get her revenge. She is very eloquent and quick-witted. I was pretty impressed by her ability to navigate all the plots and schemes.

While the romance is slow and takes a while to develop, I enjoyed the interactions between the MC and ML. My one quip is that ML seems to... more>> take an interest in the MC right after she tries to commit su*cide when her engagement ended (because she became a different person)... which is a bit odd.

The story itself is very politics-heavy. There are a lot of characters so it can be confusing sometimes with all the names. Luckily, the translators have little reminders on who the characters are, which I really appreciated.

Overall, I feel this novel is better than some of the other more popular C-novels that I've read. So I do encourage people to at least give it a try! <<less

Overall Plot: 4/5 : Intricate plot, with more of a focus on the inner court intrigues than romance (it took aages for the male lead to even show up). Rather than intense drama and passion this work has a more refined, graceful air. Single plot events that are usually adressed w high emotion in these type of novels here play a secondary role to overall plot movement.

Characters: 4.5/5 : In most transmigration stories, the female lead has an extremely exaggerated 21st century character, or pulls off a variety of ridiculous... more>> stunts - which, don't get me wrong, can be hilarious, however Meng'er is brilliantly clever but also supremely refined, staying perfectly within the lines of the high society yet managing to beat all her rivals at their own game w absolute elegance at every point. Probably one of my fav heroines to date.

The rest of the cast are utter cliches - the self important father, the greedy grandmother, the evil stepmother and sister, the handsome but mysterious male lead, etc, however, the author does a really good job exploring the nuances of these cliches in every individual, creating depth in each. Even the 'mysterious' male lead w hardly a few lines to him in all the 76chp I read so far, still gives an impression of well crafted layers. Of particular note is the secondary male lead who has a 'tragic' backstory (alienation due to a condition he's afflicted with), and the way in which the story only has minimal scenes w him yet lets you see exactly how his feelings for the fem lead develop behind the scenes is beautifully done.

Translations, etc : 3/5 : i really like each of the individual translators of this series coz they take pains to add a lot of cultural flavor to their work; however, it's a bit all over the place and you have to jump between sites, searching painstakingly for the right chapter. Even the chapter index here is a mess, so be prepared for a bit of tediousness re: this.

Another issue is the slow updates - once a month at the moment, means by the time the series updates you've pretty much forgotten the story :/ <<less

This is a good novel. Sadly the translator looks like forgotten about it. The ending is good that is for sure. But the annoying things is the side story. Like I am not interested at them. But overall the author did a good job.

I wonder why the updates are so slow? But that doesn't mean I will take away a star for this minor reason.

My memory about this novel seems vague now, but I have a good feeling for this novel. It's worth the time. You will not be dissapointed.

The MC and ML are truly power couple. They didn't had weakness and seems perfect and flawless. Well perfect hero is not a bad thing. It can fulfilled our childhood or princess dream.

At first I don't want to read this novel since I bored in reading but now I cannot stop reading it. However update is slower than I thought. I wonder what will happen in next chapter. Can't stop thinking about it. I love two main leads but I hate Chen Wang to want a woman that he already breaked the engagement

Waiting for next one

I liked this story. It has been through multiple translators/summaries etc. I am glad to be starting it now rather than wait years to know what will happen next. All the translators have done a good job!

The FL is believably intelligent. ML is good and not an a**hole! The as*hole is the ex-fiancé from start to finish. I always find it hard to believe that transmigrators are able to fit in so well. I know that I myself wouldn’t be able to. There is so many levels everyone have to... more>> think in to survive in those times. I never understood why ML suddenly fell for her. The progression is not clear. Their married life is satisfying. This story is a lot like ‘Virtuous wife’ and ‘eight treasure trousseau’ but the husband doesn’t share everything with her. He will confirm if she manages to guess but he keeps things from her even when he knows she is a strong person who can manage. But I still like the story. Chapters are very long and satisfying! <<less

This book is actually one of my favourites. The only thing I really dislike about this book is that ML is rarely mentioned in the first few chapters, and when I mean first few chapters I mean chapter 1 to chapter 70/80 that kind of thing. Maybe not rarely but just occasionally, after that like chapter 80 plus, there are more appearances.

If you really want serious revenge stuff, read The princess weiyang.

Very disgusting it was great at first but at 125 the characters making extreme moral decisions.

The author just makes every one that does something to Yun Qian Meng get r*ped even a 13 year old child. Yun Qian Meng is alright and happy with that even as a modern person. It just ruined the story for me.

The MC was reborn into the first born daughter of the prime minister's wife after she commited suiside because her engagment was cancelled.... Even though the MC is from our world that doesnt gives her any special powers since the setting is serious.... instead she talks her way out of things while trying to take revenge for the death of her mother and earn her rightfull place in her household.... The ML is the most wanted as you husband man and makes everyone jealous but they fit so well together... more>> since they are a power couple! XD

Out of the side characters my favorite are the ml's 2 grampas!... they both are super cute :3.... also the second ML and the crown prince (and the 10th prince) are good character's in their own way
Spoiler

I really liked the love story of the crown prince of norhten chi and consorts rong <3
