Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife

Description

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

Other people’s bad reputation, if not because of themselves, then it’s slandered by others. Jing Wan’s bad reputation wasn’t because of herself, but schemed by her future husband. Jing Wan’s bad reputation wasn’t caused by others, but of his design, only for the sake of marrying the woman he has had eyes on for two lifetimes! One unable to take a bride, one unable to marry. Because he was the number one handsomest man, but she wasn’t the number one beauty. So it was still her who has earned? What the hell?

After marrying, the husband’s close beautiful servant girls didn’t try to crawl onto the bed, but instead served her like an ancestor. The previous stewards didn’t monopolize the power, but instead handed over in great detail all the properties and even the husband’s private funds. So strange no matter how one looks at it! After getting along day and night, she discovered that her husband suffers from a severe case of crazy, please cure!

“Husband, just what do you like about me? I’ll change, just please stop being weird.”

His disease acting up in seconds, telling you with his actions, just how strong his possessive desires towards you are, that’s how much care you must give back.

Alright, for the sake of his disease not becoming more severe, and seeing how there’s no concubines or mistresses or other little demons, Jing Wan rolled up her up sleeves and went all out.

This is honestly one of the best translations I have ever read! The translator spends so much time making sure everything is as accurate as possible while still keeping true to the original content and context of the story. She makes sure that culture components are explained and even provides a ton of examples. Outside of the translation itself, the novel itself is amazing. It is an incredibly deep novel with rich world building and a lot of characters that are unique and interesting all on their own. You really... more>> do have to read the novel within the context it is written which is ancient China during a time which upheld Confucius teachings. Also keep in mind that the story is fiction..... if you have an issue with age gaps or some violent episodes I wouldn't read this one. Yet again this translator is so great and regardless of what you think of the story, the effort and work that she has put in deserves a ton of recognition! <<less

I’ve read a lot of historical setting cnovels and this one is a slog to read through. Within the first few chapters we are told how MC is the pearl in her grandmother’s palm. She is favored by all those in her family that have any sway and envied by those who don’t. She is gentle, refined, beautiful and deserves all the good things. Her strict grandfather even favors her above all his grandsons and sons. So far she has barely any personality and there’s nothing interesting about herself that... more>> sets her apart.

The dialogue goes on and on. One character can spit out paragraphs worth of dialogue. Usually dialogue is my favorite part to read. But everyone talks the same way, and likes to lay out every little bit of reasoning. They follow the same cadence except maybe the ML, but he’s supposed to be a little freak so.

The writing is detailed but boring, a lot of tell. Nothing hooks me in the first 20 chapters. The family/political dynamics are nothing special so far and even the main character doesn’t exhibit any trait that makes you think oh! She’s interesting I want to read what happens to her next! I started reading because of the high reviews, but I won’t go on. <<less

It was a nice read but I got bored after Jiangnan trip arc starts. Kinda disappointed with how ML treats their son (in extras) and how 2nd ML ended up. Another thing is despite this novel is so big I never got good enough crumbs from my favorite side characters like FL's brothers and best friend with their daughter life. It's actually very good but to be honest if the author could shorten a lot of things and just keep interesting things this novel would have been so much better.

Rewriting as of Ch 177. I had a lot of concerns prior to starting this novel. I love this setting, and I love everything that people said makes this novel great: political intrigue, focus on the political and familial dynamics, etc. I was concerned about the title and some of the tags, and as it turns out, rightfully so.

The writing is absolutely amazing. The characterization and depth of the plot is on point, and this definitely ranks one of the top novels that has such a large cast of complex... more>> characters. There is such a wide range of characters and personalities such that even if you don't like one or a few, it's still so worth reading for everyone else. The MC and ML are really obviously meant to be from the start, though I find him incredibly annoying in the earlier chapters (personally felt like it lessened a bit later, but maybe because his screen time also went down a bit).

However, this novel is not for everyone. READ THE TAGS- the novel is dark, there is a LOT of cruelty, and there are some reallllyyyyy twisted characters (they still have depth though! imagine that.). There's a lot to unpack in the novel, so some people may find it slow. I thought I knew what I was getting into with "obsessive love" and "male yandere"- it's not your standard novel for these tags. Take it seriously. I almost started skimming all the sections with the male lead and the main thing that keeps him from being like those crazy overbearing CEOs is that he's not abusive to the MC, and in fact, quite the opposite. He does have his redeeming qualities and ofc, the necessary sob story for whitewashing, but that doesn't make him any less.... intense. Novel is R18 in all the ways R18 is taken- I'd even say 18 may be a little young considering the other novels that tend to be tagged this way. <<less

This story wasn't perfect but nevertheless, I still enjoy it until the end. It brought me joy, thrill, heartache, and tears. However, although the title indicated that this story was about FL, after reading it, I feel this story inclined more to ML because he was the one who controlled the story from the beginning while FL was unaware of any of his scheme (although in the end he came clean to FL). Yes, this is a story about how ML schemed to make FL his while also secretly participated... more>> in battle of throne so he could protect FL better by putting her in the highest position. But it didn't mean that FL was only a dodder flower. In fact, she also had a share of her own glory throughout the story. Many said that what she achieved couldn't be separated from ML's status but so what? She lived at the feudal era where a man was a sky so for her to rely on ML and tightly grasp his heart was also her ability.

As for the characters itself, I think ML's character was quite realistic, compared to many other similar novel genre's character. In other novel, after a character reborn, mostly they had a grudge but the didn't have a difficulty to assimilate in their current life. But ML couldn't. In his past life, he got shunned, betrayed, and lastly, he lost the love of his life, FL. He nearly went crazy because of it but he endured because...

Spoiler

.... he promised FL to watch over their son in her stead.

[collapse]

And no matter how happy he was when he was reborn, the physiological trauma that he got from his past was still there. He also had a hard time to assimilate himself in the current timeline and didn't know how many times he had a mental breakdown brought by a nightmare from his past. Only because FL he could stay sane. Also, because of his trauma, he could only had FL in his heart and towards other, including throne and his kin, he simply didn't care. Because of those traumas, I could understand how he became that unlikable although I still couldn't approve some of behavior no matter how miserable ML in the past.

Spoiler
    • I didn't like how he mol*sted FL when she was unconscious. If he really loved her, why not wait until they were officially together and get her consent?
    • I didn't like how she took advantage of Chen Zhen Ming and Sun Yi Lin so he could smoothly marry FL. I know that he didn't care of other people's feeling other than FL but I still feel a little heartache when seeing a good man like CZM and SYL were indirectly destroyed because of ML's scheme.
      Spoiler

      Although CZM's career wasn't affected much but he turned into an emotionless machine when it came into a relationship. And SYL, how could ML destroy such a brilliant person until he turned into a dust? He could've a bright future but because of ML's scheme, he couldn't let go of FL and in the end made a irreversible mistake. I couldn't help but to cry when reading his ending.

      [collapse]
[collapse]

FL also wasn't perfect. Mostly, she was a likable character. She was smart and wasn't a pushover, except in front of ML. But I still didn't like how she treated her parent.

Spoiler

I know that she didn't like her father because he had so many concubines and her mother because she was weak but aside from that, I think their parent wasn't that bad. She should understand that they came from another era. Maybe her father's concubines and her mother's weakness was unacceptable in the modern era but it was quite normal in the feudal era. Moreover, they didn't treat FL badly and they even tried hard to get close to her. But FL was judgmental from the start and refused to get close to them. Although over times she softened a bit but it still feel so half-hearted to me.

[collapse]

As for the ending, although it's considered a happy ending but I still feel a bittersweet because of it.

Spoiler

It's really rare for a story to go way until the end. Yes, literally the end. Mostly, the story would end in the happiest moment of FL and ML, surrounding by the people that loved them. But this story ended with their death in each other's hand. I still bawled my eyes out because of it.

Aside from FL and ML, this story had so many partings that made me sad, for example: FL's grandpa and grandma, grandmaster Liao Chen, Sun Yi Lin, etc. I know it's realistic because no one could live forever but still, my heart really couldn't take it

[collapse]

Additional note: after reading the raw, turned out there were some untranslated chapters where FL and ML would meet again in the modern era. <<less

Great story, but very complicated plot. I like the relationship, but male guy is too unhinged. Female is smart and cunning and very spoiled, I like how they are so strong though, both Mary Sues.

The bad part it it's very deep and you need to be at your best brain power to read and understand all the details. But I love it. Plot just goes on and on and both characters are just liking each other... kinda. Because as I said if female wasn't so crazy she couldn't live with... more>> the crazy, evil, kill for everything, too op male guy.

This is like face slap and stomp to dead plot. <<less

I really love this story, but this review is really for the translator, Jen. Thanks so much!!! I'm in awe of the care she has taken to help make this book come alive. The sheer amount of footnotes, explanations, character trees, and even sketches that she's provided helps so much! This book with it's extensive world building might have been confusing if not for her notes. Also, the quality and care Jen has taken with this translation is very evident. It's not easy to find stories that are translated with... more>> such care and I totally recommend reading this one. Thanks so much! <<less

I started this because a reviewer said it was yandere done right.

Although I'm only at the beginning its not keeping me engaged. In ch. 8 the MC mentions the consequences of close relatives having children together and I felt like I heard angels singing because as someone in the scientific field this is something I think about A LOT when reading historical novels.

So I was excited and wanted to leave an early review to share this excitement, but then I saw some 1 star reviews. And you're telling me this... more>> man is 22 and she's 14?????????

I know marrying young was rampant in all royal families but that doesn't mean I can mentally block it.

So because of that disgusting age gap I'll be dropping this one. Maybe one day these MODERN authors can incorporate some modern thinking into their stories and have adults be with adults. <<less

One of the best reincarnation story I've ever read. Both the MC and ML are reincarnators and that really makes sense (unlike other novels where the MC and/or ML are reincarnators just because), and even though the ML know about some future things doesn't make him all conceited and acknowledges that his meddling would make future events change. The plot is great and super consistent without s*upid and unnecessary face slapping. 100% would recommend.

This one is surely a must read if you like Eight Treasure Trousseau. Even better in terms of story telling. The negative is this one surely loooooong. Because the author really describing the background of each character. Even minor character sometimes get 1 or 2 full chapter to describe the background story of characters. And most of the background story later evolved into the main story. So you can imagine how vast the story in this novel.

MC is a modern world person reincarnated into the ancient china. This means already... more>> 2 story. ML is reincarnated into his younger self, means another story line added into MC (modern world, original world when she met tragic ending, and current world in the novel timeline). Only ML remember her tragic past and he working hard to change the tragic past of MC into happy life for her (and mainly him of course). Thats why for some people maybe will confused at first because so many plot described here.

The most attractive part of this novel is ML character. He is surely the best tyrant I ever read. He’s surely a devil. So ruthless, egoistic, twisted, hateful, but so brilliant. You can understand his underling feeling toward him. Fear, hate, but admiring him in the same time. Other tyrant in other novel not as twisted as him. When you read it, you can understand what I mean. And his obsessive behavior will explained slowly in the novel. He originally not an obsessive person, but due to his past with unhappy ending to MC lead him into the present devil he become now. This also the best feature in this novel. Their past memories is not describe in the early parts like other novel, but hinted here and everywhere even until chapter 280 even we still have many questions regarding his and her past. Clearly the mature tag for this novel due to psychological twisted plot and personality of the characters.

the translator not flawless. But she clearly trying very hard to explain even give us pictures to make the readers understand about the era better. Difficulties of understanding lies to authors that using so many chinese classic idioms and hard to understand to non chinese readers. But still a very good journey of reading that I enjoy so much. <<less

It started off pretty good, but then went downhill for me. I feel like it's extremely slow paced and repetitive and had a lot of unnecessary information. I read the spoilers for it and I'm glad I stopped here instead of continuing because it's just some mess that I don't like.
