Description

Jiang Zhen crossed into ancient times and became the old bachelor eldest Jiang who was neglected by his whole family in Hexi Village.

He was born into a good family, but the eldest Jiang was busy all year and couldn’t even eat a full meal. His two younger brothers could marry a wife, but he was starved to death… Jiang Zhen felt it was unbearable.

You don’t want to feed me? OK, I will kill the chicken myself.

You don’t even give me a glimpse of food? It doesn’t matter, the door of the granary will be opened as soon as I kick it.

You want to tell me that I am unfilial? Ok, I will immediately take the knife to the village and slash people, and let the yamen officer catch all of us.

Jiang Zhen became a local tyrant in the village. He also saw the “ugly” ger who could not get married in the village.

Future father-in-law: “Jiang Zhen is always wandering around our house. Is he planning to rob our house?”

The future mother-in-law: “What to do? Jinge can’t beat him!”

Zhao Jinge’s face was hot… Dad, the wild rabbit that I brought back today is what he gave…

Its a really good book for face slapping and business building.

However, I am dropping it because a side character was r*ped and it looks like they are being made the villain due to it.

Spoiler

shen axin gets r*ped and thinks the ML orchestrated it, he is then fed a bunch of lies about how awful the MC is. It looks like the author is using his trauma as an excuse to drive the plot forwards. I am disturbed and can't bare to read any further

it was fun read at first bc the way MC bulldoze to success was satisfying, some parts made me uncomfortable w the discrimination and power caste stuff, but eh I ignored it but then shen anxin arc came and I'm gonna drop this? I rlly hated this 🗿🗿🗿

i spent, what, a week? For this I feel like I should've read other works instead if this became like this 😭 I often ignore reviews on NU and try before I drop so I tried this and it was weirdly engaging for... more>> me even if this wasn't usually my genre.

Spoiler

what made me drop was shen anxin arc. I hated how author gave everyone character development? Like jiang zhen was a beacon for growth and advancement not only to his family, but to his village, to the next villages, and many more. Losers under him became capable men. But shen anxin 😭😭😭😭 wtf I dont want to read anymore he was

Spoiler

gangbanged 😐 organized by his rival merchant

[collapse]

and grew black and misunderstood that it was all shou ML that ordered for it and it was all MC' fault he suffers and then I read reviews that he tried to pathetically destroy them bc of his hate and grudge.

Spoiler

im usually p tolerant of themes, but I hate unnecessary s*xual assault as plot point the most. Mu*der is OK, stealing is OK, cheating I hate but I can digest but I just feel so bad for shen anxin when he was introduced as a ger in an oppressive society that doesn't back down and fights for his right and place. Why? It's such a waste. I feel v bad that in the end he's just another victim to the plot's rotten system. I dont know if he will still get a deserved healing, or if he committed atrocious crime bc of his hate after, but I still, sigh, I feel lost. Every mention of ? Sexism? Gender inequality? That was justified as "bc this was normal during that time" made me uncomfortable after 116 chaps came back to me all at once.

dunno if I'll ever be frustrated with the time I spent for this and force myself to read it, or maybe will pick this up in far future, but this review is mainly for me of future 😐👍 u dropped at ch116. <<less

Summary

If you want to read a silly (and at times nonsensical) story, that is in a Marry Sue alley then go ahead. The adventure parts are interesting enough to keep the reader hooked. The characters are dull or not really likable and it’s this novel the biggest problem. For me this story was a long journey filled with eye rolls, occasional cursing and bouts of helpless anger. Some parts where pissing me so much or were nonsensical to the point of anger. I’ve read a lot of novels but this... more>> was the first one that made me so mad I had to write this angry review.

Characters

Jiang Zhen is not really likable from the start and throughout the whole story He didn’t improve much on his front. The straw that broke the camel back was the last arc of the story and things that Jiang Zhen did. The last bits of any positive feelings I had for that character vanished.

Zhao Jinge is just flat and dull and his bouts of insecurity are eye roll inducing. The most infuriating character for me was Zhao Liu, with Her constant bragging. The only characters that were somewhat interesting and likable were Zheng Yi and He brothers, oh and Madam Liu.

Story & Setting

The novel is taking place in fictional world that is based on our world. Author uses the term ‘ancient’ but to be honest it’s more like medieval, judging from the state the world is in. So the setting is something akin to ‘ancient’ China with the addition of the third s*x – ger; a male looking individual that can bare a child. This one piece of the world building in this story is the most nonsensical. I really can’t find any reason for their existence beside non problematic male-male relationship (like having an open relationship and kids). However even then the romance and love making doesn’t hale much to it. The love making aspect especially. We hale another example of ‘magic hole’ that lubricate itself. And don’t start me on the whole birthing a child thing. For me the concept of gers in this story is really shallow and not founded at all.

As for the story I had the most bizarre experience with this one. I cared for the story and not for the character, well at least not for the main ones. The reason for that is it’s kind of a Marry Sue type of novel. The protagonist can’t do wrong, all his projects are a success, all is going well. Even when there are some mishaps he is never on the loosing side. You know he will be alright so you don’t really care about him. People around him treats him like gold and sunshine is shooting out of his ass. It’s annoying in the long run. <<less

I couldn't read it to the end, I like spoilers so I decided to read comments when I was in like chapter 90, until then everything was kinda fine and I enjoyed everything but I read what is going to happen to one character and I don't want to read it, He was a good character and now I know the author ruined him. I'm sad, he had potential and deserved better And I don't like when authors add r*pe even when it is for a punishment.

I've got mixed feelings about this novel. I gave it a good try hoping it would grab me but in the end I've dropped it about half-way through.
The characters aren't unlikeable but they aren't that interesting either, and it's the same for the setting and plot. The MC is a gruff gong who has a serious case of golden finger. The love interest is sweet but insecure and a bit dull. The whole time I was going "It's fine I guess", and for me personally fine isn't enough to go through another hundred chapters.

★★★★☆ [4/5 stars]

Might not be the best story, but reading until the end, I can feel so much satisfaction in my heart. I finished this with a huge smile on my face. The novel was more focused on the slice of life aspect and I was actually not expecting it, but it's a pleasant surprise. I also adore the MC and the ML's relationship. A definition of true love.

Spoiler

Be warned, Mc's kinda an a**hole. Of course, it's justified and he only reacts extremely towards people who treat him bad first. Sometimes it feels deserved but other times is feels disproportionate. What annoyed me though was how he treated his nephew. He wouldn't share any food with him and made the family give him the eggs and stuff the nephew would usually have. Yeah the family is sh*t he should stand up for himself but the nephew is TWO YEARS OLD. Why is he suffering for it when he didn't do anything.
its been a few times now that the 2 year old toddler cried cause he wanted a bit of mc's food. MC's mom is terrible for starving him but why is he continuing the cycle on someone innocent. This pissed me off so much

edit: wrote the above rant at c17, it isnt mentioned again later (but technically still hapeens off screen I guess)

MC is a businessman and does lots of that type of stuff for most of the novel

Was good for a while then they ruined a cool smart character by making them an irrational love rival

then they end it by having MC colonize a bunch of people and his kids went to colonize america and australia in the future

Probably wouldn't recommend, overall it sucks quite a bit <<less

Charity 3 stars.

This was way too draggy and boring. I had to drop at around 170 or so because it was just so sleep-inducing.

It was interesting at first but I think the author got too carried away with whatever fantasy they were having and simply forgot about plot and character development. For sure, there are crumbs of those two here and there but they are too scattered across chunky chapters that don't really do anything aside from dragging the quality down.

Even the cannon fodders set up for face-slapping are forcefully... more>> given screentime just so there's something akin to "action" happening. Super cringe.

Romance-wise.... well, they're happy and the MC's respect and care is admirable. But that's about it. <<less

Up till about chapter 100, the story is great. It's got cute in-laws, sticky MC and ML, face slapping and some funny moments caused by the mother in law and the guys that work for the MC. It's just the character Shen Anxin that is..... well. ... more>>
Spoiler

when you first meet Shen Anxin, he seems like a her that would be a great friend for our ML, he has a similar person story where they had to take on work and throw away their ger identities to support the family. He seems like someone that could be a great business partner in the future. Then he develops a crush on the MC. Fine. It's not surprising and they seem to cut it off, however. It's like his feelings for the MC melted his brain. After the trouble he went through the first time, did he learn that he should have servants or guards when he goes out? No. Did he develop his business sense? No. Instead he gets wrapped up in tgis idea that he can replace the ML. Then, he gets S.A. Now, aside from the pain, sadness and anger, you would also think about who would set something up like this. Would it be a. The business rival that has been harassing you for years and previously tried to set you up or b. The ML is some kind of plot to get you to stop having feelings for the MC, despite having no reason to do anything. Well, now he has gone all twisty and plotting to take down the main couple

[collapse]

Hopefully this part will be done quickly and can get back to the business stuff and the cute family interactions.

So the first 100 chapters have a similar feel, then there is a sudden sharp turn which will hopefully get straighten out quickly.

Edit: it still hasn't. It seems like the first 1/2 of this story is slice of life and the 2nd half is more action with fights and schemes and general revolution/military type stuff along with more serious business growth and competition. It is really like they took the first half on 1 novel and the second half of another and put them together. The story still fits with the characters and set up but it is a giant shift in tone.
There is also a 3 year time skip. It is still good and there are some cute family moments but it is now more serious and less slice of life.
By chapter 160, there is another 3 year time skip and honestly, the story is now draggy and a bit repetitive. It needs some more cute and comedic moments to break up the monotony.

The extras at the end have the charm of the first 1/2.
The translator is doing a great job. <<less

Like most of the other comments, I personally also feel very disdainful of Shen Anxiu's character development.

Because he is actually a very potential character, but for some reason the author actually develops his character very deviated.

Apart from that, for me there are actually no other problems.

This story is light and fun to read.

the one at the end of Jiang Zheng 'original', that the author took the time to give him a 'future', a family that still loves him with his deep-rooted personality from his previous abusive circumstances (which made my heart ache so much) and that he could move one was super cute and heartwarming.

The story is about ML who is transmigrated into different world where he then meet MC (a ger). And then they begin their journey tobe a wealthy family thru their businesses & skills.

Chapter 1-100 its pretty good. The MC shyness was cute, the storylines are also nice.

Chapter 100-120 MC shyness becomes SO ANNOYING. The story itself after MC had his children, it also became predictable.

The story only has 178 chapters & even after 100 chapter the MC still didn't have confidence where ML always show how much he love him,... more>> it was so annoying. MC also has become strong but that's it, nothing more arrrrrggghhh. <<less

Mtled this

Level of mtl = easy to read

This story is sooo nice and satisfying to read.

... more>> I love the concept of mutual trust with each other. The pair really grew together thick and thin. From poor to riches. From simple farmers to become the founders of a new government and country, becoming the emperor and prime minister of said new country!

My heart just keeps on eating dog food when I read how they support each other. ML is so luckyyy where can you find a wonderful husband like MC? MC is equally lucky *sigh* where can you find such a supportive partner? They seriously complete each other. I cant help but be jealous!

Theres surprisingly a nice world building in this story, especially you can be aware that there are still larger countries around the story.

The MC is strong, but hes not like those other MCs with a golden finger or a large thick thigh to hold on. HE MAKES IT! What I mean by that is that he acknowledged his limitations and he would really make years of long term plans and preparations so he and his family wont be bullied in the future.

Hes a military man from modern times, I could understand where his brute force comes from and he is unable to recreate modern or close to modern technologies. But he looks for people and guides his ideas to create something similar. Which is quite impressive (and took some time to develop but thank you time skip, this wont be like some filler you see in other novels where its like X number of chapters on one topic)

All in all, its s good and satisfying, sometimes I wished there was more. But at the same time I like it that it knows when to close the story and not drag on

Spoiler

lol it actually dragged on 100 + years later in the future. As an extra chapter

ROUND 2 OF THEIR LOVELY LOVE LIFE THAT MAKES ME JELLY

[collapse]

Im actually very very very happy that the author did not forget about the original jiang zhen and he also had a happy ending. (Frikin cried and smiled when I read his story) god this is good karma. He deserves happiness. I AM HAPPY WHEN HE HAS HIS HAPPY ENDING (っ˘з (˘⌣˘)

Spoiler

The 2nd life of orig jiang zhen is actually the descendant of MC and ml

The orig jiang zhen went into the future and my god my heart when his anxiety about his previous life keeps him from being happy when he was born and he was diagnosed as an autistic. But thank god his family treasured him and loved him. Aaaaaaa

When he learned about his previous body doing amazing things in the past (basically MC being the mc) 2nd life jiang zhen decided to become better! He was still very reserved, but he was very smart so he was diagnosed with autism but the high IQ kind.

2nd life jiang zhen was able to find himself as who he was, especially when he found true love with a ger that sincerely loved him too.

I loved when their relationship became the famous " reverse Cinderella" because they thought 2nd life jiang zhen was poor and relied on ning qing when they were in highschool (his soon to be ger wife). 2nd life JZ just didnt want to spend money since he was like that in the past so everyone thought he was handsome but poor while NQ was quite a nouve rich but not so good with grades.

Who knew when JZ 's identity was revealed, he was actually a part of the royal family! XD

Anyways they lived a wonderful life together and im very happy that he also had his share of the happy ending

This novel is really good. I love the beginning when the MC and the ML are developing their relationship. Everything was so sweet and uncomplicated (aside from the MC's bi*chy family). There was also a very gradual progression to get the MC to become eventually successful. Like, the MC had to actually work for his money and every dollar counted in the beginning.

The ending also made sense. From the very beginning, the MC knew that the common people have it hard in this era and can be oppressed by anyone... more>> with money or power so he is working towards a way to keep both himself and his family safe. It was just very rushed. Like, there were a lot of time skips and then BAM! It's the ending.

Overall, the novel left a positive impression on me, but the ending was a little underwhelming. <<less

I couldn't help myself running to MTL this novel. The beginning is so sweet, and it is actually sweet until the end..... even if there are people that are crazy for the MC or ML they can't even make a dent on their relationship.... though in the beginning the ML did have a lack of self confidence, but he gradually grows (self confidence, social skills, wiseness, smartness), this is not a novel were the little shou keeps being protected under the gong's wings, the shou (ML) learns to fly alongside... more>> the gong

Even surpassing MC on management skills

Spoiler

In the extra that he was reborn in the modern original world of JZ he even became an overbearing president that held the sky for JZ

The drive for the story to move is actually something quite simple: MC thought that the world was too dangerous and too outrageous, so he wanted to protect his loved ones which led in to make money..... which he thought was = to power, but he was proven wrong and needed more power...

........ when you are nearing the end and think that MC is not a Gary Sue

Spoiler

since he didn't go to war, nor became a noble, nor made a revolt..... when the court wanted to go after him I was thinking "oh, he is going overseas and begging his business anew" and then! BANG!!

This is five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I like how unpredictable it is for me, well maybe because this is the first time I read a farming Danmei that didn't go the usual route or what was always the side character said MC didn't act with commonly lol 😂

there are quite few reviewers who put their own judgement on. the character based on their 21st century beliefs which is so dumb. There's even one saying that MC is harming a civilian duh.. he is also a civilian being a special force was just... more>> his past life. Even though he was in special forces he is also human.... the Jiang family brought all the bad luck to them and push MC to the bottom, who wouldn't retaliate after two decades of abuse the worst thing wass that it's their own blood. They treated OG MC and MC as a s*ave worst than a human. I didn't think that some readers here would still side with those hideous family even in real life not all are blessed with good parents and siblings and some like MC's family they were also treated as tr*sh even though they haven't done anything bad with them. I'm just at chapter 22 and will update this to see what those other low reviews said really true, because some reviews here are biased and judge not by the timeline of the characters but their own understanding 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I was wondering what those other reviewers saying about that Shen Anxin... when he appeared he really had a potential of a good merchant however that's all there is to him when he started to show his thoughts and actions he is not that an amazing of a character. He's that type of character who seemed to be capable because of how their background made them look like... but honestly he is just a weak white lotus who just wanted to rely on someone. But he is always thinking he was a ger and couldn't do anything but honestly there are characters who had the same situation with him but already toughened up. He is the head of the family so his heart must harden. He knew that MC is married but still harbor intentions towards him. But I just don't like MC casually just saving this beauties and make them fall for him. MC is being called straightforward but can't be straightly frank with his Wife so he can stop his wife from thinking negatively. I still put up with the weak minded of the ML because MC really loves him however what I'm tired of is MC not making clear that he would never love anyone else only MC but instead he just threatened him if you're like this and that" I won't like you anymore". Although saying in a cute way it doesn't help at all there's no security, and if I was ML I would be stressed out always.

I like it that Eldest Jiang also had his closure and a life he deserves. there was a ger who wholeheartedly like, chased and love him. And made me happy that MC and ML met in modern world too it has closure. <<less
