Disgusting, sick, never reading again.

The FL is just as hypocrital and her situation isn't funny at all, I guess that for teenagers they might not perceive the darker undertones.

Spoiler

I couldn't handle the s*x culture, misogyny, how og!FL was blamed for running away, the male lead has no redeeming qualities, and the female lead keeps fainting for drama in the plot.

To be honest I really enjoyed the novel first time around. Light hearted but really nothing special and has glaring issues all over. The importance of chastity in this story is so s*upid. Like you’re not gonna care that a woman in ancient times has been all over the place seen by countless of men, but get mad when one of them has stuck his d*** into her ? Let’s start off with the fact that women being lost at all in society is THE SAME THING as them losing... more>> their chastity. Having other men come and confess to your wife is the same thing as an affair. (Especially when MC was openly trying to seduce someone else in the novel ?? But that’s never really said out loud to the ML for some reason) what was the reason why a mystical cactus couldn’t theoretically allow her to find another way to leave/escape earlier but it can give her the recipe for gun powder. Her sudden physical strength boast doesn’t make sense since original body owner was weak but she doesn’t do anything specially to get fit. Comments on her appearance would be a slap in the face since no one is complimenting her, but the original body owner. OG FL is only seen as a bad person for being promiscuous simply because her all powerful virg*n halo is removed. Also if she was willing to run away but has basic mother Theresa level kind parents why didn’t she threaten su*cide so she didn’t get married ? Instead of running away with actually no plans on living a real life since she doesn’t even legally exist without an identification card unless she wanted to admit she’s a noble. Basically and everyone loves her because she was a virg*n and every and anyone hated other women because they weren’t. This plot was actually more sporadic than the original plot that this book was insulting the fact it was unrealistic <<less

I loved it! Absolutely, positively, loved it! Look, it's not going to win any awards for deep and intricate plots because it doesn't have one. KKristen did an excellent review that's worth reading.

The plotline is very simple:

Modern-day woman, reading a web novel, finds herself transmigrated into the body of a supporting character, one who ended up suffering a bloody gruesome death at the hands of the male lead (ML) because she had the audacity to want the attention of her husband. So, since she knows how she is supposed to... more>> die, how does she avoid that fate?

By trying to avoid the male lead with every fiber of her being! Hey, she even attempts to assist the OFL (Original female lead) win her man over even faster, just to ensure she can remain alive and return to her modern-day life.

That's the premise. And, of course, the butterfly effect swings into full gear simply because the FSC (female supporting character), now FL, changes her objective! Honestly, one aspect of the story I enjoy most is the fact that the FL, who remembers what happens in the book pretty well, doesn't actively try to change any aspects of the story. She tries her best to blend into the background, not make waves, and simply survive for a year until she can go home. That was something I identified with because I know it would be the way I approached life in that circumstance and it's what makes the FL very believable and likeable. It also drives a great deal of the humor of the first half of the story: the FL is trying her best to fade into the background while ensuring the plot stays on course but her efforts are making her stand out even more!

So, as the story progresses, it's clear to the reader that the former FSC has become the FL while the former FL is quickly becoming an FSC and, toward the end, a FE (female enemy). However, the new FL refuses to think of herself as the FL until the day for her to return to her modern-day life arrives
Spoiler

and she realizes that she can't leave her husband and son behind

Spoiler

especially after her magical cactus gives her a glimpse of what would happen when they realized she was gone. At that moment, she sees that her stubborn silent husband does love her and would die on the battlefield murmuring her name in agony after hearing that she had died! Oh!!! All the feels!!!

[collapse]

.

Now, the story cons:

  1. The author turned the FL into a Mary Sue. Does every man have to fall in love with her? Well, except Luo...
  2. Also, there are quite a few deus ex machina devices (the talking cactus and the ultra-rare bloodthirsty plant), but they kinda work since the FL has been introduced as a horticulturalist.
  3. The poor OFL....I feel so sorry for her. Once I finished the book, I was reminded that Lin Qianzi was probably only 15-16, if that. At that age, of course, all she thinks about is love and relationships! She's a teenager! Of course, she doesn't see the big picture and can't recognize when someone's using her. She's been pampered and spoiled her entire life. Of course, she falls for a smooth talker who says the right words and is good in bed. Girls today still fall for boys (and men) like that. Nothing new there. And of course, she believes the horrible rumors about her fiancee, who is supposed to be bloodthirsty and brutal to women! Her father and his boss (the emperor) have been the ones spreading those rumors, or at least helping them along, so if you never hear anything positive about your fiance, you'd believe what you hear!

I remember being 15. I remember thinking the world revolved around me and that I was special and unique! Why wouldn't Lin Qianzi feel that way? So of course she was taken advantage of time and time again. It was bound to happen! She was a spoiled girl, having been brought up thinking she's always right and that if she complains someone will take revenge for her because that's clearly what her father, Minister Lin, did time and time again. He covered up her sins, made excuses, and never really reprimanded her! And how did her story end? With the ML and the new FL selling her to a second-class brothel, where she again fell for the slick words of one of her customers and refused to leave, even when her father was trying to rescue her from that place. (sigh)

The MC is just adorable.. I do understand why ML and supporting ML dotes on her.

Story is light and funny, overall I really enjoyed reading this.

Sometimes I do wish the MC will be less of a chicken, but then her character developed as she was given more trust and gained more confidence.

... more>>
Spoiler

Her initial objective was to stay alive so she can come back. This requires her to lay low and hug-a-thigh, which is where the comedy lies. Her chicken out attitude, that may seems naive for those who took it as she's being sincere, also adds to the entertainment.

But then her objective changed into protecting the one she loves, which was awesome! And we get to see a more courageous MC.

[collapse]

The ML is loyal, logical, and doting in the current life.

Spoiler

But I really don't get how he can stoop so low to dote on the villain in the previous life. I just can't see any positive light in the villain's previous life.

The translation is very good, and still manage to keep the story so witty. Great job translator, thanks alot! <<less

The truth is, the story in this novel just same like another "classic" transmigration genre that we can find on any novel that have same genre, but the way the author make the story is very fun to read... So no complain for me, I will give 5 star...

Spoiler

Btw im very happy that Yu Kuang & Song Jia Yue finally can find their own happiness and not stuck for FL love for the rest of their life... (even they not telling or making story about how Song Jia Yue can find her own wife)

Last but not least, to bad there is no extra chapter for Luo Yunzheng, and there is no explain for what happening to him too 😢😢😢

......... listen. the fact that this was on my reading list for AGES and given me so much anticipation but was already translated? HUH? ok but seriously, this book is a comforting read after trying to go out of my way to read a bunch of new genres I didn't really like. coming back to the genre that I was originally attracted to (historical romance/ transmigration) IS A GREAT FEELING.

ok but seriously, I heard a lot about this book and how "crazy good" it was, but I'll say it: it's... more>> slightly overhyped. I say slightly because the first arc was the author was trying to walk, then the second arc was the author sprinting. not to mention, the writing style and characters evolved dramatically. suddenly, FL got her shitz together and remembered stuff that wasn't even part of her expertise!! more transmigration! MAGIC POWERS VIA CACTI!! thankfully, the book is a good two hundred almost three hundred chapters. this is a comfort because if the author tried to make it 2000 chapters with no end in sight I'd cry. basically, the book is good. I have no deep analysis of the characters mostly cause I'm looking at it face-view. bye-bye!

xoxo, MiRA

I am not going to talk about the story. It was just a simple transmigration story.

The first 100+ story is alright. But then I thought who the hell write the book which the MC transmigrated. Why you say???? Because the main character (the book which MC transmigrated), r*ped by stranger. And holy!!! She is not angry. She thought it was simple.

And people complaining here ML is rapist (just thought about the MC who reads this book until tge end😂😂😂😂).

... more>> Okay enough shit!!!

The story start with some parody. But later everything disappear like air. The gentle ML also vanished. The silly MC also vanished. And another thing is the relationship between the main character (specially Ml) like a misunderstanding. The ML never knew that MC is just pretending (I don't know about the latter part).

Then come annoying side character. Who needs them. One is assassin, another one is bandit, another one is scholar (but trying to snatching the mc).

You can read them until 145.

So I can rate this novel 3.7. <<less

This is one of my favourite novels because I started reading transmigration themed novels after this. So, for me, this one is the first transmigration themed novels (it might not be one of the first of transmigration themed stories, but it is for me as DCF is my first of the theme). Hence, I do not find it typical of transmigration novels. On the contrary, I find myself referring other novels to DCF. It Will forever remain my favourite my favourite novel as I started reading Chinese translated novels because... more>> of DCF. And I am thankful to have come across this novel. <<less

An extremely weak MC both physically and emotionally. Most of the times she is so dense that when she does something smart it feels unnatural reminding me that the author is behind those actions. Her best idea to avoid being beaten to death is to seduce the bestfriend of her husband/master which imo is the fastest way to get herself killed.

The fact that I can't remember how the story goes is a prove that the novel is not interesting enough. This novel, along with Eight Treasure Trousseau and To be a Virtuous Wife are the first webnovels I've read and I only remember the characters, plotlines, and worldbuilding in ETT & TBAVW

This is not a review, but a complaint.

To start, I’ve already finished this novel and loved it. I was in the process of rereading/revisiting all the novels I’d completed, and couldn’t help but notice that this one a few others were missing their chapter links....

Luckily I could still find the novel chapters online via search engines, but I’m confused as to why the chapters are no longer present on this site. Hopefully this will be fixed, or it will be explained to me.

AHHHHH I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO LEAVE A REVIEW FOR THIS FANTASTIC NOVEL.

Ok so quick mention: I have read this novel at least five times by now and as a busy part-time student, this a a tough thing to do.

This novel is just too good, it hits all the right places. The comedy is gold, the romance is cute but not too cute, and the characters are written phenomenally. For a "transmigration" typical plot, this novel tears down the stereotypes and just makes it more AWESOME. I have read... more>> countless novels with overpowered female poison geniuses or divine doctors, so it is refreshing to read one where the female MC is realistic and yet sprinkled with that fantasy sh*t I gobble up like the piece of tr*sh I am. The male lead turned me off for a while but don't worry, I promise you, he will make it through to you, dear reader, and steal your hear away just like the MC. So without further ado, GO READ THIS GOLD MINE ALREADY!!!! <<less

Spoiler

this is what will arrived to the original novel protagonist even if she make idea on the ML without knowing him and make them as a fact she was friendly with FL and worshiped her and her end will be To be send as a louer class prostitute and humiliate because of the fact that she was r*ped by her stalker only for that she can't mary ML because of the fact that she is not a virg*n so she is not pure anymore this was a r*pe and she is punished for that. This is mysoginist and perperate r*pe culture

[collapse]
so I drope this novel for now maybe later I will give it a second chance but now I can't the autor make a cute idiot girl became a egoist beat for drama. <<less

I highly recommend this novel to at least try it out yourself, because the 2 star reviews I read on this site are subjective to a really high extent.

5 stars from me until around chapter 200.

What I like about this novel:

    • Our MC knows about the tropes of transmigration novels (f.e. White lotus flower female led) and therefore there will be funny situations created about the s*upidity of the tropes and cliches of these novels.
    • A lot of creative (for the most time) misunderstandings, that causes the MC to shine in a good light, which causes the reader to have a good feeling and sometimes a good laugh at the scenes.
    • Realistic ML for his position and the ancient times. Regardeless, there is character growth and he changes, because he loves the MC. Be aware, he is still a man from ancient times, so he will be possesive. The social values from ancient times are different, than our values. Yes, I look at you, 2 star reviews ;D
    • I can't put my finger on everything, but I had 99% of the time a good fluffy and cozy feeling while reading it (until around chapter 200).
Sadly the novel changes at around chapter 200. The MC and the coldblooded ML are too kindhearted to some enemies or to s*upid (why use an easy way to kill, if it could be done more difficult and with a chance for the enemy to escape?) to kill them and just let them live, which caused more heavy trouble/drama later. Also at around this chapter, the story about a growing relationship between MC and ML is mostly done. The story now is more about helping the ML to defeat enemies on the battlefield, rescuing the ML, betraying etc. Basically, at around here, the cozy and fluffy feelings are gone. There is a lot of drama, because of very obvious plotholes and infuriating, s*upid, forced and utterly ridiculous plotlines, that shouldn't happen, because it goes against everything the novel told you about rules and society.

I'm not motivated to finish this novel, since it shifted its focus from romance to a military/strategy/DRAMA novel and the author doesn't know how to write a a military/strategy/DRAMA novel.

I have re-read this novel multiple times. However, I can't bring myself to give it 5 stars rating.

It truly is an interesting read, as it started out with the MC being a concubine, which made it difficult for her to survive in ancient times. The many ways she try to bring the "heroine" and ML together is really cute. The ML is domineering and can be overbearing.

... more>>
Spoiler

The consent is questionable for the first time the ML slept with MC. Following that first time, I can't really tell in terms of consent, as it seems like ML was rejecting it because MC is bad at it. Hence, the resistance is because of how bad the ML is at it than her rejecting the ML and not wanting him at all. I suppose the only way he could get better is with practice?

It does get really unrealistic at some point, which is why I gave it a 4. Later along the story, the MC knows warring strategies, which is totally strange. MC studied horticulture, but understands warfare and how to create gun power. This is a tad too much for my liking.

[collapse]

Overall, their interaction is rather funny, as two clueless people getting together. <<less

Loved it... there's violence, r*pe and other stuff that may be too much for people. But considering the time period, it is the reality of how life really was. I'm impressed by the author's decision to incorporate these type hard to swallow scenes in there, despite this being a romance novel. Then again, I'm a 30 year old woman, who can handle this type of novel lol
