This is a 3.5/5 🌟 for me.

It was alright. The unusual pairing is refreshing, by unusual I mean to say that the FL is physically stronger and the one who leads the relationship compared to the usual domineering/alpha ML. The ML here is actually cute. However, I do find the story lacking. The scene where the two worlds overlapped was narratively passive and I felt like it could've been written better. Anyway, overall it was alright.

It is quite good. The ML is not a sissy. He was kidnapped, weakened, and powerless to defend himself as being abused daily. The FL is strong, unique, and doesn't follow conventional ideologies. To prove he is worthy and of their marriage, he left to go to war. He didn't just get strong out of nowhere --- he studied with the prince growing up and they are trained from everything of literacy to physical combat.

He is a true gentlemen whereas the FL is a wolf. Lol. Their romance is touching... more>> as there are roadblocks, primarily his family. He is a noble and while she is his savior, her background is a commoner. What touched my heart is
Spoiler

He broke up with her without saying why (reason is he think he had ED), later he sent her a painting, she replied with basically "clean cut of all connection" onto the painting since it was his choice, he then went to her city although still not fully recovered, and asked her to take back the "break UP" painting without saying a word. He just kept waving the painting in front of her

[collapse]
.

What I didn't like is his mother. He made it home badly injured but his mother punished him with sticks bc he insisted on marrying the FL. So it worsened his injuries that he remained bed bound!

The translation is just a step above machine translated. So at some junctures, it is hard to read and does not flow well with frequent misuse of pronouns.

The author also cut to different scenes without reconciling that the current scene ended. The story is fast paced - namely the wars and frequent accomplishments of the ML.

Overall, it was a good story. There are loopholes and unexplained ending to some characters. The ending was primarily for the ML and FL. It also leads to questions about
Spoiler

are they permanently in her world. Can they go back and forth? Did the ML cut his hair in her world or left it long??? Lol.

[collapse]

I also think the author is a secret fujoshi. In other novels, the FLs are threatened with r*pe by the villains. Here it is the beautiful males who are threatened. <<less

Transmigration set in ancient times. Not a gender bender but the girl is strong and the guy is weak. But he accepts her for who she is. She is extremely independent but he accepts her for that.
short Tory. Fun to read.
Translator does a great job!

DEFINITELY A GREAT READ!!

I loved how strong the MC was. Instead of the usual ML being the one who saves, it was MC who's strong. But ML was also strong and a great military strategist. It's just that MC is such a brawn and a monkey. I love how both of them are so sweet and so touchy. The fact that everyone was so against them at the beginning was so annoying. I mean like, bruhhh, if MC did not save ML, there wouldn't even be a son for you... more>> to marry off to. But nevertheless, that doesn't mateer because the couple didn't care about them and we're still lovey dovey. Sigh~ I really envy their relationship!

Translation was great! The characters were great! I loved the character development of Shizao with how spiteful and overbearing from the start and then became a little tsundere where MC just bullies him. Really really great story! I don't really like historical because of the harem concept or like their are too many political drama and dog slaps everywhere. But here, there is political drama but it's not really the main point (?), more like it's there to get the main story going which is the action packed romance of our beloved couple. It really is great! I really love strong female MCs like the one from mistaken marriage general something.

DEFINITELY A GREAT READ!! <<less

I love this story I was hooked from Chapter 1 onwards and can't put it down. I was even late for work as I just couldn't stop reading this story. Strong independent FL and very supporting ML.

MTL to complete

Really great start, went down in the middle, but picked up in the end..

Beginning chapters: Really kept me hooked FL was pretty smart and decisive... the atmosphere was quite serious ... more>>
Spoiler

ML was tortured And in danger of being r*ped

[collapse]

After that arc it was so going pretty well
Spoiler

FL rebuilds her life by opening a dessert shop. I thought it was going to be a slice of life where she tracks her empire but sadly, no 😥

[collapse]

But then, Idk what happened but the next chapters felt like fillers and were rushed.. I was about to skip it but the chapters seemed to go back to the plot.

I like how they dealt with her transmigration still rushed but haven't seen this in others.

CHARACTERS: FL is dominant and OP in martial arts while ML tho strong can't beat her in the field (sometimes in bed *wink*) sweet couple and I love how the FL teases the ML 🤗

Overall: Great start.. a mess in the end.. but there were unique points that kept me hooked 👍 <<less

Characters are likable, good set-up. It is short, but it said what it wanna say. Aside from the main characters and the prince (forgot his name, the cousin of the ml), no other characters are fleshed out. The author has no interest in other things other than their (MC and ml) interaction. That's not a bad thing, but the author glossed over A LOT of things (world building stuffs are just briefly mentioned)

Cute and Light.

Man, I really like this novel ! First of all : Cute romance. Very, very cute.

Loved the ML, loved the fact the MC isn't op, loved that she is both smart and stronger than the man FOR ONCE !

FINALLY, FINALLY a modern woman who looks like a modern woman ! We can see that not only on her ideals, but also in her natural way. Not ashamed of her sexuality, not ashamed of her way of life, doesn't give excuses for her behavior and have that confident way that only... more>> a woman who know her rights have.

I'm not gonna lie, I like all Female MCs, even if they're not that realistic, just because I'm tired of male protagonists, and as a woman I like and empathize more with woman protagonists, also, I love seeing strong woman as the main character. But this MC is EVEN BETTER and is pretty refreshing to see such a good modern woman character in a c-novel ! <<less

Welcoming a Strong and Independent Female Lead.

The FL got transmigrated into the body of a mentally disabled girl in the ancient times. Fortunately, the body's innate physique is strong so she has a natural talent in martial arts which she developed later on. (She embarked on the path of business. Martial arts was for defense)

ML was captured by the FL's master because he was enamored with the ML's beauty. ML was abused but not r*ped. (Thank god. I cannot fathom the physical and mental damage if that happened.)

FL... more>> rescued the ML and then started the journey of having their love tested.

It was honestly a good read. I did not get bored as it has substantial humor in the characters' interactions.

There's also a mystery in there that was very fresh to me. (Will not tell, go ahead and read it. Lol)

For the ending, it's funny but was a bit lacking for me. It was vague on how, where and what did they really decide to do with their life. <<less

Too adorable for words, the way they just work together and accept each other is wonderful. Sweet and fluffy, even with all the obstacles they have faced.

This is another case of a short novel that should be longer. Alas! The fluff is worth it though. Lovely story!

A cute fluffy relationship between the two main characters. The FL doesn't overly rely on the ML, she's independent and badass. But she doesn't shy away from pursuing her feelings when she has the chance. The ML also adapts to her modern sensibilities and chases her despite many obstacles.

Unfortunately the ending is rushed and rather abrupt. It leaves some important questions unanswered. The ENG TL is also lacking, but it's readable.

If you're looking for a relatively short fluffy read with a domineering and strong FL I recommend this!

10/10 so good, it felt like a movie. Though I wish there was a extra so we can see more of the ending but overall it was great. The relationship between them have me feeling single : (the FL is so badass I love her. I would totally fall for her too if she didn’t already have ML ; (speaking of ML I love him so much he’s such a little cutie. He’s shy and submissive but was strong and brave at the same time. I JUST WANT... more>> TO BULLY HIM >:) <<less

Amazing. Smart couple. Has communication. Light enough to binge it in a day

while their relationships has hindrances, it was reasonable due to the differences in their status. The sufferings that they faced together made me feel for them. Specially for the ml. ML is also not that frail as he could withstand all those things done to him.

He is a scholar, pure ancient man that is very loyal and doting to his wife. I really loved his character.

... more>>
Spoiler

that scene where he let her go in the cave broke my heart. Where he understood her intentions to escape and was willing to let her go as to not trouble her further in the beginning ahh

i find it funny that he's more prude than the fl. Lol. Loved it when the FL is proactive when it comes to teasing their husband. Haha

[collapse]

the FL is rational and while she has a lot of strength, she's not overly OP.

Spoiler

"Who cares about feudal ethics anymore! He caught my eye, and my heart is moved. He is interested in me too, so why can’t this happen?

Am I an idiot?

She figured that she could just go on with this relationship, and if they didn’t work out, they could just separate. For a male god at his level, this was a good deal!"

she was willing to try to have relationship with him. And I really love how she reacted once she read his letter. And while her heartbroken for a few days her life still goes on. It's like she didn't need him to succeed in life but she was happier if he was there.

and when they finally solved the issue together she said.

“Xingzhi, I said I will wait for you.”

She looked up at Yu Xingzhi and her eyes were sparkling.

“But I didn’t mean that I was going to stand behind and wait for you to take care of and protect me.”

[collapse]

tbh, the ending felt a bit incomplete. It was unsatisfying that several things are skipped or summarized only when honestly the story could've went on to explore more stuffs but its an overall great and fun read. <<less

One of the most sweet, loving stories I've ever read.

The MC is cool, direct and finally expresses some of the modern world cheekiness toward her ML, that I love. She is shameless and funny, witty and loyal to a fault.

The ML is the most adorable person ever, he is a SIMP in capitals because for dear life this man genuinely can't live without MC, but not in a toxic over the top sense, more like in a devoted and loving way.

The rest of the characters are funny and entertaining enough... more>> but certainly, this story is absolutely based on this pair love story.

I would've like to read a more detailed scene of their wedding, but I love the ending.

One of my favorite couples so far. <<less

To be honest, I read this novel just because author's previous work, Dandere general and his Lord (You guys have to try it if u into political or water Margin's like story, MC is very cool OMFG, uniting country and abolished s*avery, eventho you are a little princess in male dominated world, plot is realistic except the system, eventho there's loophole, but it's not severe like heroine saves gentlemen)

I'm a huge fan, and I read this just to catch glimpse of my fav characters, Qianye and QiaoShang, but oh... more>> well

To be honest, I have high expectation when I read this because previous novel, but utterly disappointed since there's big gap in quality of story, character development, plot.

This story kinda nice to fill time, but It doesn't really stir my emotion like dandere

Spoiler

what I don't like, MC's ability really makes her superhuman, with big disparity with other person, there's big gap and it makes her too stand out, in weird way. The romance half to end between MC n ML kinda weird. The enemies!! Omg, they're too one dimensional, really makes me disappointed, Huge difference with dandere general's villain, which is has character's depth and reason, why they're doing that

[collapse]

Overall, this story is not my cup of tea, I read this just because to catch glimpse of my Fav characters <<less
