Before her rebirth, Wei Luo was an innocent little girl.

After rebirth, she appeared lovable on the outside but was a different person on the inside.

Those who learned of her true nature yielded to her.

Only the prince regent regarded her as a treasure; no matter how much he pampered her, it was not enough for him.

Anything she wanted, he gave her, including the princess position that she didn’t want, which he stubbornly pushed onto her.

I'm done with this story the beginning was really good but as chapters passes it only gets worse. With the exception of the very beginning everything goes well for the MC, she has her father, brother, empress, ML, etc on her side and an amazing life. I especially hate how the author put all female characters who weren't MC friends to a miserable end a d all of her friends to a happy one.

her sister was only 6 when she came back. She was heavily neglected by her father, who extremely pampered his other children, didn't have no one love or guidance and when she tries to get herself a good marriage partner (the wrong way, I admit, but the only way she could think of cause her father didn't give a sh*t about her marrying) obviously everything goes wrong and in the end she dies of su*cide after being gangr*ped numerous times by her husband friends and guards

I would like so much to see a story were someone transmigrates to her body or her going back to the past and trying to live a better life

there's the other girl who really wasn't bad. I'm not going to a lot of spoilers, but imagine being rase your whole life to be something, even the empress tells you and when you discover that ain't gonna happen. You'll get sad and mad right? Right! And have all the right to do so

Like come on I gave up on the novel none of this girls deserved what they got and I'm not even gonna mention MC bastard cousin <<less

Enjoyable read when you’re bored

  • ML is a pedo period but if you’re like me who can differentiate that this is reality and fiction then go ahead and read it
  • MC is NOT “smart”. Her schemes are simple. I feel like there’s nothing much to her aside from her beauty.
    Spoiler

    in the middle of the story till the end she became a “pampered” spoiled chuchu but she has the MC halo so we cant hate her that much lol

    [collapse]
  • the villains are bland,
    Spoiler

    the side characters have bad endings

    there’s not much details about them and it’s just.. ruthless. I like ruthless but this is an unjustified kind of ruthless
  • Spoiler

    li song couldve been much more... I felt better when he went back to the first timeline of FL and married her BUT still doesnt justify what he did to wei zheng in the 2nd timeline. He’s an as*hole but the author whitewashed him so much to the point that readers feels conflicted

    [collapse]
  • wei changhong couldve been much more. The author’s favorite is Wei Luo🥲

My first ever josei novel and I still love and read it until this day. Don't know why people gave this a low rating, why don't they just accept the story and the circumstances the way they live in? Ignoring that, the story is good and I think it's masterpiece.

This novel is about a MC who had tragic past, so after her time travel she turned into a super selfish bit*h who cared only and only about people who were good to her in her last life and close friends and family. For rest of the characters MC was very emotionally lacking even to sympathise with their tragic situation. Anyways if you are willing to get past this then the whole novel is enjoyable.

MC and ML both are very level headed. And like others I don't have any problems... more>> with their 9 years age gap and both getting married when MC was 15yrs. I mean common on this is a historic novel what do you expect?? Fluffy moments were good. As for mature part well it's more like semi-passing (because only the start of the deed is described) comment here and there. So not like 18R book.

I really like the extra stories where in different world MC and the male antagonist get a chance to have their own happy ending. I liked it alot how male antagonist right all things that he regretted in his previous life.

Definitely recommend.. <<less

So, I've read this quite some time ago but I've re-read it a couple more times because I found it really entertaining. Of course, I'm going to be biased in this review.

What I love about this story is how the author brought out the culture of ancient China. I'm not sure what dynasty this was based on, but when I read it, I could just picture it. The scenery, the clothing and accessories, the food, etc--- which I would like to commend the translator/s for. They did a really good... more>> job about it. That's definitely a big part of why I enjoyed this book.

In terms of plot, character development, world-building, this novel probably doesn't deserve 5 stars. But I gave it 5 stars because, like I said, I enjoyed it. I like the MC (Wei Lou or Ah Lou), at first because of her deviousness. Imagine a six year old child who would decisively and viciously attack her kidnapper. She presents herself to be a simple, spoiled, lovely daughter but is actually always calculating. But then, I have to admit that the author kind of watered down her personality, which made her unlikeable to other readers.

I love the relationship between the MC and her brother.
Spoiler

Although I wish they could have written more about the brother's love life, and let him move on from being a siscon. I was rooting for him and that younger Gao girl.

[collapse]

The ML was the typical, domineering, arrogant, oh-so-perfect, beautiful male God. I love that he was loyal to the MC. There weren't any love triangles from his side and any rival (or hopeful rivals) from the MC's side gets solved by him easily. <<less

An unexpectedly good novel to read for pastime.

I kind of understand why some people would give this a low star - loli tag. But I don't really feel the loli vibe unless someone in the story will brought up her age. The artwork also helps that the MC didn't look that young. Aside from that, I just automatically change the age 13 to 18 in my mind.

I just find the story entertaining. There are some parts that can make me shake my head in disappointment but most of the time... more>> I find it likeable.

The MC is your typical reincarnated, abused but beautiful daughter. What I like about her is how she has some flaws. She's not overly smart or cunning. Her way of revenge is how (I think) a 15/16 y.o naive girl who died and reincarnated would think.

The ML is also that typical overbearing prince who's cold to everyone except for his beloved. There's nothing really special or different about him from other MLs.

The villains on the other hand are everywhere. I just feel sorry for the ending of some of them, most doesn't deserve such an ending.

The winner on this story is the Empress! I won't say much but her life story is very interesting and the ending that she chose for herself is how a great former warrior should choose.

Sadly, this story feels incomplete. It felt that it was ended abruptly just bec I want to read more about the ML and MC's reign, the BFF and cousin's side story, 9th prince side story, and most of all the brother's love story!!

I would have given this story a 5 star bec I really really like this but the side story that the author wrote ruined it for me. There are characters who deserves it more than that character!! <<less

Slow paced slice of life. I enjoyed how she dealt with the antagonists, and her mother issue. I also liked how the empress dealt with the emperor. I was a bit put off by the romance... she is so young it's borderline pedo so I did not enjoy. I'm not sure I would recommend. Try at your own risk.

4.1/5.0

I wanted to score 3.8 but that will be explained later.

Overall, I enjoyed the adventure of the MC and the unique story frame by using parallel time line concept. It will entertain you from a passive perspective to active perspective of the MC which technique can be mostly found in romance transmigration story. In addition, the way the author engage the complexity of cause and effect story through the MC perspective is something to look for. I can't explain much about this but you'll get what I mean after reading... more>> it.

At first, I thought that this is a typical story centralised to the scheming beautiful MC and ml. But after following up to the end, there are realistic aspects when it comes to both romantic or familial relationship which is a plus to me.

However, there are certain things that I'm not comfortable. Age differences, harassment and the characters 'overbearingness' (the major reason I want to score 3). Well, I could overlook this because there are worst cases like this in real history. And I wanted to see it in positive light such as how the author put the effort on addressing things that are considered taboo, unusual and normal in both ancient tradition or ideology though it may not be perfect.

I feel like the author could do much more to perfect the story frame style and give the characters more depth. And I really appreciate the efforts of the story world building. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it up to the end. <<less

Good read 5/5

The setting is accurate, highly descriptive and well researched. The principles and morals of the characters may seem “backward” but they are realistic considering the time period of the novel. Fair warning that this novel may not be for everyone’s tastes.

LOVED this story. I really love the plot, the main characters personality, and the characters overall. I really can’t say much, other than the fact that, there are going to be tons of scheming in the beginning, however as you reach towards the end of the novel, it becomes more heartwarming and fluff, especially the end where they show Wei Lou and Zhao Jie’s kids.

Honestly the MC is not a mary sue and clueless innocent type of MC despite her great beauty and innocent facede. Her attitude is more humanly because she doesn't forgive those who have wronged her in the past and present (including her own mother which I truly understood)

I found this novel has its own uniqueness and ML is especially doting.

I kinda felt bad about MC twin little brother not being mentioned in Epilogue...i want to know his ending but author decided to forget him.

I stumbled upon a comment on another story, comparing CM to the story.

The commenter condemning her/himself that she/he was once too young to love/like phdflc plotline of CM.

I roFL myself thinking that she/he must be a teenager who suddenly transmigrated into an adult, considering CM was completed recently.

This book is good if you're looking to kill a huge amount of time. Huge. I know people say it's short at 171 chapters, but each chapter is really long and by each chapter, I'm including the.1 and.2's. So it takes many many many hours to read, and honestly, it's not very good.

I do not mind this book. It is not particularly good, but it's not horrible. A lot of people are complaining about the descriptions of how pretty the MC is, well there's only like a paragraph every few... more>> chapters, I don't think it's too excessive. And then there's the whole age gap thing. Ok, 9 years is quite a bit I'll admit, but they don't portray it too creepily and they do address it, except there is this one horrible horrible pointless disgusting scene where

Spoiler

the ML touches himself (if you catch my drift) to the thought of her and he's 22 and she's 13 and it's horrible horrible horrible, and it doesn't add to the story at all and also makes me concerned for his sanity because in the dream, one side there is blood and gore and the other he's f****** a 13 year old...

[collapse]

but other than that it's really not that bad. Also, people talk about how the MC doesn't give people a chance for redemption, but she does, at least where I'm at, for one character

Spoiler

her younger stepbrother, though more on him underneath because the author really messed him up

[collapse]

Though it is true that she was unnecessarily cruel to several characters, and she could have tried to change her 5 year old sister rather than letting her get worse and worse, and several other characters that had nothing to do with her yet somehow got caught in the mix.

Now to the things that genuinely piss me off. First of all, there's the messed up timeline, where she's talking about what a 'despot' her younger stepbrother is, but the author forgets that when the MC died, he was only 8 years old. 8! Yes, he beat someone to death on the street, by himself, with his own fists, when he was 8 -_-. Hmmmm... let's think about that. Herculean strength? Then she constantly refers to him as an adult, and what a horrible person he was, to justify her hatred for him, and let me repeat that she was never an adult, let alone him. Maybe that's the problem with using characters that are too young, in all honesty, you forget about the age thing and pretend they're all adults.

Then the way the author says things and then immediately contradicts herself. It happens multiple times, sometimes within the same freaking chapter.

Spoiler

In one chapter, she claims that she knows this guy likes her because the look in his eyes is the same as those in the village from her previous timeline that liked her. He's this guy that she has humiliated multiple times and hates her guts. Literally the last person ON THE WHOLE PLANET who would ever like her, and she knows that he likes her from the look in his eyes. Ok, fine, I can accept it, but the next chapter, the ML, who has always treated her unnecessarily kind, is described as looking at her with love and lust and wanting her and all that stuff and she's literally like, "Why is he helping me? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" Mkay, so she can recognise love in anyone's eyes EXCEPT when it affects the plot, and is the ML. Ok. Alright.

[collapse]

Not to mention, and I cannot emphasise this enough, the author DOES NOT consider the ages of her characters when she writes her story. Some of the things that she writes about are horrible, and aren't ok but do happen in many other books, but because her characters are so young, they are not alright anymore. She forgets this age issue and goes on to include them anyways, like when

Spoiler

her 'evil' sister is r*ped by a bunch of men, and SHE'S ONLY 13!!! (or even younger actually, can't quite remember). And honestly, she didn't even do anything excessively horrible to the MC, just wanted to save her mum and be loved by her dad, which later developed into hatred of the MC, but she cannot be blamed for it because she was 5 years old when it happened, and she didn't even know about the plot and is described as being innocent. Then the author had to add in how spoiled and 'evil' she was because otherwise, we readers would realise she was just a kid being petty and who loved her mum, who was practically tortured. Oh god, the stepmother did horrible things, but reading about what happened to her killed me.

[collapse]

I honestly can't remember anything from before the age of 10 or so, yet these little kids, at age 5 and 6, are doing all these things like holding grudges, plotting revenge plans, FALLING IN LOVE? Ok, you are WAAAAAAAY too young for any of this.

But all in all, not the worse thing I've read so... read at your own risk. I can see the appeal, but I can't feel it. I know I bagged out the author, but I get that it's hard to write a book, so I do want to thank the amazing translators (honestly the translation is great) and the author and editor/s. I was entertained for a while I guess. <<less

This is my first time writing a review that's why I'm a bit generous today. I'm giving 4 stars for this novel. (Else, I would've given a 3.5 stars for this one.)

  1. Author - the author is great. The idea is fresh for a usual revenge/reincarnation type of novel. Basing on the chapters i've read, the author forgot some instances, and wasn't very consistent. These are just minkr things, so it could be ignored.
  2. Translator - quite good. Few incorrect grammars and spellings, but tolerable. It's just that I some points wherein modern terms where used for an ancient novel. Specifically, lipstick was used instead of rouge or something similar. It's fine, but it just feels a bit weird. Tho I'm not sure if that's what's exactly written in the original text, then my comment about this is invalid. Anyway, I still would like to thank our dear translator (s) for your effort in translating this novel. Without them, I wouldn't be even writing a review about this novel right now.
  3. Novel - it's all about a pampered MC who always spaces out, a cradlesnatcher male lead, a bit confusing revenge plots (i feel it's a bit lacking in impact compared to a usual revenge novels and a bit forced if I must say)
Basically, it's a novel you can read when... more>> you don't have anything else to read. I can finish it, coz of the fresh ideas... But I don't think it's a novel I can read again after finishing.

Well let's give it a benefit of the doubt. I'm more or less just in the middle part of the story. I hope my impression for this novel changes... To be more positive. <<less

It's exciting during the early chapters..

How's she reborn and given the chance to avoid misfortunes and planned to save people that she care..

But, that was just only in the early chapters..

Later on, the thrill sources were like, slowly gone..... and the story became boring..

I felt regret on how the story developed..

Well, I'm done.

Thanks for the translation anyway..

Lovely story and very enjoyable plot. I especially like the author's writing skill which is very good at describing human natures and characters vividly, like in good works of literature. The story flow and the descriptions of the emotions and logics of characters are not one-sided only to main characters, unlike in many other web novels. And, also this novel has much less cruelty than many rebirth novel.

At first, I'm doubting and delaying reading this because of some negative reviews... but dang, after reading this, I truly love this start from finish.

The translation is really good.

MC might be unforgiving and selfish to antagonists and to the people that made wrong to her... but she's really lovable to the people who are kind to her. However, ML is truly evil and only good to MC. He's extremely possessive and jealous that it borderline yandere... LMAO

The lead's sweetness is out of the world.

I also love that:

Li Song got chance to redeem his self in the other parallel world and got a happy ending even tho I slightly feel that he didn't deserve it because of his previous evil deeds.

The ending for the leads gave me a satisfied feeling.

However, only sad that Wei Chang Ho's ending was not mentioned whether he got married happily or not. Or still having his sister complex... LMAO

And I also love to know the Emperor and Empress ending story. <<less

I have mixed feelings about this one. The story itself is brilliant but there were times when I felt like our main character was a bit brash and harsh. Yes, she did reverse the bad development for the people around her but then it influenced the other people, some innocent, to have lesser fates that they deserve.

Romance wise, this story is full of it. My heart keeps thumping to be honest and it was quite challenging at some parts because it makes one think 'Ah if only that happens in... more>> real life...' The pacing was a bit slow for me but the development of the story, although predictable, was still quite exciting.

To be honest I love the side story. I felt that character was really wronged on the original plot so it's really nice to see him achieve a happy ending.",) <<less

I really enjoyed the story, it's cute, quiet. Do not expect big twists, or moments "Seriously ?????" But it's nice to read. Not all the other women in the novel are villains. The protagonist has friends, which is very realistic and well built.

Treatment of the antagonists is somewhat exaggerated. It is something like someone employ a kamehama in response to a pinch.

As a minor character of the Empress, I really agree with her.

The translation is excellent, and the explanation pictures are well selected. It is interesting to see the sweets... more>> and the hairstyles. Thank you to the translator for the excellent work !!!
