Refusing to Serve Me? Then Off With Your Head!

Description

Someone said: “My bed, it’s not your first time sleeping here. Why aren’t you coming over?”

Me: “Your majesty, this wanted fugitive is not a concubine in your palace. I’m not obligated to sleep with you!”

… Makes no sense the concubines are left idle, instead wanting a criminal awaiting execution like me to waste energy both mentally and physically.

Someone said: “Really? – – An Yi is surprisingly very righteous!”

Not lightly nor heavily, he lets out a decree: “If you don’t want to sleep with me, then off with your head!”

I really like the female MC in this. She's not relatable at all but yet I feel so empathetic and sympathetic towards her. She's the most "real" character ever created for me, and damn is she a good character.

this novel really pulls at your heart strings and if you give it a chance, will perhaps be a treasure to behold.

Also, damn the general. Damn him to death. I hate that guy so much. I can understand why he did the things he did but damn him. I hate him even... more>> more than the female rival, even if she is a lot more one dimensional. I hate this guy the most out of every character from every novel/manga, including villains, that I've read about. <<less

It feels like a rollercoaster of a romance. It can be so funny I can’t stop laughing and then it makes me cry. It can be hard to understand the plot at first but as the story goes on, it becomes clearer and clearer. It almost mirrors her brain damage and path of healing. I have read it twice and you definitely catch more the second time around.

I really hate how the FL, who seemingly is portrayed as independent, is so spineless facing the ML. I also hate how the ML, who as the big emperor is apparently oh so deep in love with her, is treating the FL with an attitude of a petty, grudge loaded a**hole. It really doesn't make any sense. I really tried to go on but at ch. 44 it was no longer bearable.

This is beautifully written. With the female lead's unusual character, the male lead finally finds meaning in his life.
Spoiler

it'sonly that second male lead, Yan Ping is s*upid. He can'teven see that the broken sleeve he disgusts is actuallya woman. When he has become sober and know the truth, the FL has already been devoured by our pampering ml. Muhahaha

The plot is pretty well developed. The story is written in a jumping timeline, and not in chronological order. The amount of forgiveness is a bit high I suppose, but it's not very annoying. There are some other things that irritate, but all in all the ML is not that hateful and the MC is only slightly eyeroll worthy. The supporting characters are fine except when they're women. I actually think it's somewhere between 3 and 4* but it's always better to go with the bigger number. Recc to those... more>> in the mood for soup, aka smth light and not an actual meal. <<less

Highly recommended. This story gave me the same feeling like The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. The story started in the middle. The timeline jumped here and there, but that's what makes this story beautiful.

The truths were revealed one by one, and your opinion about each character would change throughout the story. The MC in this story is truly pitiful. She suffered a lot. But she slowly healing in the care of ML. Truly beautiful.

By the end of the story, you will have a whole different understanding of everything that happened.... more>> It makes you want to read this novel again the second time and by the second time you read this novel, the feelings is so different. It's like you read a whole different story cause you've had the understanding of what actually happened in the story. I can't describe it.

The first read you will cry, on the second read you will cry harder. This story really hits me <<less

This is simply a gem. The story is so sweet and heartwarming. It also makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I love both MC and ML. MC (An Yi) is not your usual protagonist. She was raised as a boy so she is a bit unruly and mischievous. ML (Zhao Wen) is a reliable emperor who has successfully united the kingdom when he was still a crown prince.

... more>>
Spoiler

I initially thought that ML is Yan Ping, MC's first love, because he was often mentioned in the first chapters unlike the emperor (ML). Thankfully, it's not.

[collapse]

MC and ML met for the first time on the most embarrassing moment in MC's life.

Spoiler

She was pushed to the pond by Yan Ping because she clinged to him then she tried to dry her clothes completely n***d at the side of the pond. She was caught by ML's sight who at the moment leisurely taking stroll around the pond. Then her cover as a boy completely blown out in front of him.

[collapse]

There are many sweet moments between them. Both of them have tragic past and cause them to hurt both physically and mentally. But they unconsciously cure each other's trauma and become depending on each other.

The ending is also satisfying. There are many extra chapters for more stories with different POV.

Spoiler

The story from Yan Ping's POV is actually quite sad. He secretly loved MC but at the same time he supressed his feeling because he though that both of them are men. He could only act hostile towards MC to hide his true feeling. And the worst of all, he betrayed MC to get her father's military seal.

His action makes MC heartbroken. Later he regrets it all his life even more so after he knew that MC is actually a woman. But it's already too late. MC no longer love him and she become an empress.

This is a gem! Like a truly rare one! It’s not cliche. Storytelling is unique. I don’t understand the low reviews. It’s not hard to follow the timeline and storyline. In fact, I like how it makes me think and fill in the gaps in my head. There’s just one thing though. I wish the author gave more details to the kissing/love scenes. And not just fade into mornings. I mean, I wanna know An Yi’s pov about it atleast. Thank you author and thank you translators!!!

I was honestly dragging on reading this because I usually don't like dense protagonists (cuz they're either annoyingly frustrating af or just so dumb its angering) but surprisingly Xiao Lan wasn't that much of a bother for me. Was it because the author was pretty good in characterizing her? Anyways, I felt her "s*upidity" was a cute flavor to her personality.

I enjoyed reading this, it was honestly better than what I expected. What I liked about this was the unusual structure, don't let the first few chapters turn you away... more>> from reading, it was indeed a bit confusing because the structure of this didn't follow the usual timeline but instead the begining of the story happens in the middle. You don't have to fret, everything would be explained eventually. Whats also nice (for me) was the crucial characters (& some of the side ones) was given a portion of the story in their pov by the author.

Overall, this was pretty light hearted, not much of a drama. The issues more or less revolve around the mc's self, her character development and her growth as a person. <<less

I really enjoyed this! The FL is a really good character and I really enjoyed how she reacts and how she views the world. A really likeable and strong character.
The PTSD was written really well and the ML has a really good character as well. Even though he can be overbearing, but he really tried his hardest to heal the FL and care for her.

Highly reccomend!

I've already come back a few times to reread this novel. The writing style is somewhat different since the story is told from the MC's point of view and her way of thinking is rather special. At first the story kind of confusing but somehow that is also part of its charm. Though I do advise to read some other reviews/comments/spoilers.

The MC is very cute in her own way and the ML is also very sweet on her.

... more>>
Spoiler

This is also one of the few novels where the emperor stays faithful and only loves one person with no harem involved.

Another reason why I really like it is because she didn't end up with the guy who didn't treat her the right way the first time. When he finally "mans up" enough to make up for the past she just doesn't care for him anymore and I very much enjoyed him regretting and craving for her forgiveness and favor.

The beginning was a bit confusing but it gradually evens out. The male lead is charmingly adorable and sometimes I felt like the female lead is s*upidly cute. Setting aside the writing style, the story line was interesting. It was short but it was fun.",)

Very cute, very sweet. It's super confusing and annoying at first, but once you get past the beginning it's really enjoyable.

I really liked the character of the MC. She seems dull and innocent, but she's carrying so much hurt it drives her literally insane. People say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference; this story is the perfect example of that. She's so numb to her pain that she doesn't even feel anything anymore. Honestly the way she thinks does get a little overdone though, almost like a child.... more>> She can be kind of an unreliable first person POV as well; narration will say something but you know that's not what she's actually feeling. Although maybe she herself didn't know that's what she's feeling.

Tbh I still don't really get why ML liked her. It still feels kinda like he just wants someone that wouldn't plot against him, and it could've been anyone. I was expecting some "she saved his life" or smth at least, but his devotion for little to no reason is a little ridiculous.

Also, that second ML. I wish the author wrote him a LITTLE better. How he lives the rest of his life saves his character a little, but still. I wish he were a little more hesitant and conflicted, a little more doting towards MC, not just basically changing overnight the moment he finds out she's actually a girl.

I also really like the character of xiao huang. <<less

Two stubborn leads and a lot of hidden romance.

At first, you may not know exactly how the story goes but just continue to the flashback parts. Their romance has too much history and I loved that. He might not be totally honest but he is without a doubt totally in love. She is a great HE! So sensitive and so strong!

Spoiler

A fun and powerful empress I must add.

If you are here for a comedy-romantic novel, this is the one!

Love this novel. Well written, even though it is a bit confusing at the beginning, though I feel that's part of it's charm. You piece together things with the flashbacks.

FL is pretty normal, with no special powers. She's charming, making assumptions here & there, dealing with her past & her guilt. ML is there to help her deal with her past & move forward. Supporting characters are good & have all their own stories and reasons. Even you supporting ML! I think the author tried to guilt trip the reader... more>> with giving him his backstory from his POV but still, you messed up so move along.

Very enjoyable read with a great FL just trying to deal with her messy life, & being forced to face it. <<less

One of my most favorite novel I found here. It's short but with the right amount of angst, comedy and fluff that im looking for. The first few chapters might really be confusing for first time readers but I dunno I liked it nonetheless. Reading it again for the second time still made me cry and I dont think ill tire reading it again and again. (≧◡≦) ♡
