“Can a person suffering from amnesia have a total change in personality?”

The question lingers in Feng Ning’s mind.

Other people treat her coldly, claiming she is insidious, cunning and selfish. There were even rumors of her not being a virtuous wife and having illicit affairs with other men. However, she had no such memories.

After waking up from a heavy fall and knocked her head, she is now polite, treats people in good faith, and tries her best to get on her husband’s good side. No matter what she did, the past could not be undone and despite having no memories of it, Feng Ning calmly accepts her fate and slowly tries to mend things back. But why must fate be cruel to her? What did she do in the past to deserve this? In the first place, how did she end up in this sorry state?

Sad to see this hasn't been picked up again.

Interesting story where the MC is an amnesic who has lost all memories, and learns she is an abandoned wife who may have done some criminal acts against her husband's family in the past. All the way up to ch 23, it's more of a mystery as the reader tries to figure out what is the truth. Is she really married to that family? Her whole personality is completely different.

If there wasn't a transmigration tag on this series, I would have originally... more>> assumed it was one of those soul swap series. From what we have learned of the clues thus far and the MC's current personality, there is absolutely no resemblance. Even if a person looses their memories, they should still have the same characteristics of the past to some degree. But in this case, the MC is completely at the other end of the personality spectrum. What's puzzling is that everyone recognizes her to be the 3rd young master's wife. In any case, I'm not sure if it's a mere mistaken identity of 2 people looking exactly alike, or whether she was a planted spy to begin with, or maybe she is really the guy's wife. I would have liked to known the truth, so it's a bit of a bummer no one has continued the translations.

What prevented me from giving a higher rating was the heroine's clingy personality. After her loss of memory, she's has sudden mad martial art skills, a bottomless eating stomach, and absolute clinginess in her ideals of marriage. Given that she has trauma from how she got injured, it's quite understandable. But she comes off as too much of a unscrupulous brat for me to personally like her. She clings to her husband because she thinks of him as responsible husband behavior and is deserving of his friendship. However, despite her independent outlook on life, and bemoaning of not having any other friends; she doesn't go out and try to make new friends. Not to mention, even though she agrees about getting a divorce, she's a super enraged jealous girl of any woman that gets near to her husband. This is in even in the beginning of their relationship. I hate to see such strong heroine be in the mind frame of such strong internal dependencies on her spouse. The ultimate clingy woman who can't do without her man. Urgh I'd rather see her fight off bands of assassins, then read about her in such a clingy dither because her husband may abandon her.

Overall, interesting take on a romantic story where the mystery is a lot more intriguing than the romance that is happening. Can't quite say I like either main characters though. The male character's attitude is really blasé and cruel about his wife of 3 years. Even after he comes to care for her, his attitude still doesn't seem to come across as sincere at this point. <<less

How does anyone read this and give this a 5 star rating? Because of the fluff??? Like I cringed half of the time reading this.

Spoiler

The MC is very clingy, gets attached very soon to the ML after waking up, having amnesia. She is very capable, with very high martial arts skills but is very clingy for no other reason that the ML is the only one "quite nice" to her. Her inexplicable dependency on the MC is unfounded, like where is it coming from and how has having lost her memories made her very clingy? With her abilities, she didn't need to be clingy. Her qualities grossed me out so much. Towards the end you'll realize that the MC suffered many times in the past bc of the ML. ML told her the truth about her past, he had lied to her about a number of very important things, but MC can no longer leave because she is pregnant and she is now deeply attached to the ML.

Why didn't anyone review this yet? It's quite good!

Although it seems to have been dropped for a while it might get picked back up.

The heroine is clueless and all alone when she wakes up but she tries her best to do whatever she can to be good to others. However no one treats her nicely other with the exception of one man. Even then he doesn't treat her too well because everyone's got a reason to hate her. Little by little she discovers secrets of her past self, but the... more>> more she knows the more mysterious it all seems. <<less

Three Words: VERY WELL THOUGHT

(Can't blame me... The MC's personality might be very annoying for being clingy but the point that the author managed to create a story using that personality is amazing itself... This story doesn't have the ideal MC everyone likes, being OP and independent, and might've been annoying to most but instead having a dependent, clingy, gluttonous character... So, please don't drop the novel... Surely I'm not the only one hoping, right.???)

I feel complicated about this novel. On one side, the mysteries in this story were actually quite engaging but on the other side, I couldn't bring myself to like the characters in this novel.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC:

MC was actually a strong and independent woman but in front of ML, she became so fragile and weak. I don't see any strong reason on why MC could trust ML so much when she lost her memories. She knew that ML never treated his wife well during three years of their marriage but she still depended on ML so much like he was her life. And everytime she begged ML not to leave her, I really had an urge to throw my phone.

ML:

I think ML was a bit despicable. First, he left his wife (MC's twin) alone for three years. I know he did that because he couldn't trust his wife but since he already agreed to marry her, he should try to treat her better. Second, he concealed MC's past from her even when he knew that MC was tormented by the guilt. He did that because he didn't want to lose MC but still, it was a very selfish of him. Third, he pretended to be poisoned with something similar to aphrodisiac and took a chance to do the deed with clueless MC. Part of the reason to do it was because ML was afraid that MC will be together with her senior brother when she regained her memories so he wanted to make her his before it happened. Another reason was he wanted to check if MC was still a virg*n, considering his own wife was no longer ones. Ugh, despicable, right?

[collapse]

The ending was quite satisfying (it's happy ending of course). Even MC's senior brother got his happy ending in the side story. <<less

TO ALL THE TRANSLATORS OUT THERE, IF YOU HAPPEN TO CAME ACROSS THIS NOVEL PLEASE, PLEASE I BEG YOU TO PICK THIS UP (ㄒoㄒ)

This story is gold TvT but why there's not a single translator to pick up this novel aahhh *cry*

The last translator seemed to has dropped this novel as well seing the last update *more cries*

This novel is really good, the MC has a dark past but forgot everything and behaving like a whole different person which leads to a blooming romance between MC and ML. And... more>> when I said "blooming romance" it's actually full of comedies. The MC is so funny but the author still succeeded to squeeze my tears out with the little bit of angsts here and there.

Spoiler

I'm super shocked by the plot development. Just when I thought the MC and ML will finally had some fluff moments after the failed assassination, the baby comes and boom! They're broken up *intense crying*

I've always thought that the best plan for MC and her daughter was to live quietly in the countryside but, mann... it still hurts.

Whose child is that tho, I think the MC may get tricked or smth to bear the child. I don't think the original MC would cheated and get knocked up

The real unique thing about this story is that it actually has well written fight scenes that actually describe what's going on. In most cases stories like this goes like this he used his godly martial arts skills that were super high level to defeat the enemy in the flash. In this it actually describes the fights which just stood out to me.

A lovely story, cute and fluffy. The MC lost her memory and upon waking up had a complete change of character. The ML is okay.

... more>>
Spoiler

However, I can't give it a higher rating because, somehow, I wanted her to be a little more independent and not entirely depend on her husband. But she's kind of lost and needed someone so that's okay. But, the whole shenanigans about her cheating on her husband and the in-law family not liking her is a bit annoying. That the marriage is a mess is not entirely her fault. That she felt for someone else is not entirely her fault. I mean, she is ignored the whole time in that family. Her husband never touched her once. They had been married for three years. Three years! Not talking about the fact that the very marriage was humiliating.

For his defense though, he never wanted the marriage in the first place.

OMG.. I love this novel!! It is funny, yet sweet, but not lacking in drama and heart-wrenching moment as well. Sadly, it hasn't been updated for quite a while. Please, please dear nice, good translator.. Please pick up this novel again. It is too good to drop it.. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed at it.

This was one of those novels that I've read halfway then search for the spoilers reviews, all because I think that the story was kinda immature.

I'm glad I did.

Not going to continue reading this anytime soon.

Had it not been for the female lead's morph from one I could completely empathize with to a royal pain in the butt, I would have rated this novel 5 stars. Actually, I laughed out loud with a vehement, "YES!" when I read the first few lines of SaraBodd's review. Indeed, the FL's personality was a challenge during most of the story; the circumstances of her amnesia couldn't justify her selfish, dangerous, and annoying behavior for me. She changed from a character I liked to one I barely tolerated for... more>> the rest of the novel... sad. And, yes, Long San's (ML) lies were frustrating, but I could better understand his fear of losing his newfound love than the willful selfishness of Feng'er.

Actually, once I realized that this author also wrote Ambiguous Relationship and Hey, Don't Act Unruly!, the annoying qualities of some characters made more sense. Both the male, and, in particular, the female lead of AR were not the most likeable people at various times during the novel, although never to the extent of the FL in DFPD. I suppose the author believes characters in a novel should be true to themselves--regardless of whether or not that makes them unlikeable at times. They will somehow be redeemed in the readers' minds by the end.

The mystery is great... clues hint at what might have happened, but the author handles them well and maintains the reader's interest to resolution. The action scenes were easy to visualize and side stories satisfactorily tie up "loose ends" of other characters that I as a reader felt invested in, and that was a nice change. Many authors leave you wanting to know more about the fate of an interesting supporting character. Although Long Er's character was funny enough to deserve his own short novel (much like Bai Zheng, the male lead's wonderful brother in My Husband With Scholar Syndrome). Overall, a good read, but probably not one I would read again. <<less

I'm rally torn on how to rate this one the first 30 chapters were really good as well as the last third of the book. The last extra was also especially enjoyable. the problem is with the middle the sweet kind ML suddenly turned into a selfish jerk for the whole middle of the story! Even If we over look the dubious barely consenting "first time" because its a CN and for some reason CN authors think pretending you don't want it but barely giving in is sexy...... more>>

He Finds out the truth about her and decided not to tell her. She is scared and wracked with guilt because of the things she thinks she did. He also agreed they would work together to find out the truth. but when he finds out he let's her suffer and even continue to believe SHE FREAKING COMMITED ADULTURY because "he was scared she would change her mind" and when she find out he's keeping something big from her and breaks down HE LIES AGAIN.

[collapse]
One of the things I really loved about the first chapters was how they were willing to he honest with each other and work together as a team but that is totally lost in the middle and I almost stopped reading because of that. The only reason I continued was because I wanted to see the mystery resolved completely. <<less

Note that there are 2 version of this book. I was really confused, but from what I checked, the text in the two versions actually differs quite a bit. I haven't started this novel yet, but this is a reminder for me to check the raws when I do

I like the mysteries in this novel. MC and ML is not perfect or OP. Sometimes I don't like the MC when she doesn't respect her husband instructions.. It's cute once or twice but when it happen almost all the times, it becomes annoying.

My favorite is Long er!! He is the real definition of tsundere LOL. He looks stern, hard to please, always finding mistake, but he has soft heart! Whoever can get his heart will be very lucky.

Perhaps this is only novel where I pity the ML. The FL really tortures him. But I really liked there interactions. The story is also written well.

The problems were not dragged on unnecessarily.

You guys might find The Bantering between FL & ML quite "cheeky & funny"...

BUT... Not for me!! No matter how 'lovely' she (fl) is, everytime she "throw temper & tantrum".... IT'S TIRING!!!

even for me, as a female reader!!!!

So... be more realistic!! No matter how big the 'love' feeling is... be it in ancient.. or in modern time.. when the person feelings repetitively being tested... in the end, the passion wore down!!!

It started interesting but in the middle of the novel, I found the story was not interesting anymore for me.

Perhaps because I have read the spoiler O_O
Or I felt the story in the mid was a bit shoujo aka childish. The MC keeps throwing tantrums while the ML will pacify her. Towards the end of the novel, nothing is interesting anymore.

I wanna say, wow this was a good novel. The characters, the mystery, the thick plot, I enjoyed them all, even when I was annoyed with FL's selfishness or abnormal intake of food, it felt half relatable. It is not something that I think and many think that can be read twice after the mystery is known, but for me, reading it once, was the maximum of a thrilling read.

Overall, it's a good read, I do recommend.

Good night.

... more>> P.S. Bed scenes, detailed..

Huge spoiler, recommended to be seen, after the novel is read:

Spoiler

What annoyed me the most, is that in order to be a HE, the author decided to not punish Lan Hu at all for his killing intention to FL, idk how ML accepted that. Just because Fengning original wanted to be with him, he escaped scot-free. But HE is a happy ending in the end.

I really enjoyed this novel! So much fluff from the main couple and the side stories were so cute as well. Bao'er's story was just *chef's kiss*. Solid 5 stars as it was entertaining without dwelling too much on unrelated stuff. I actually found it funny how what could have been major plotlines got summarized in a single paragraph, although I don't know if that's because those stories are told in the author's other novels. Good read.
