Definitely one of the entertaining non-transmigrator/reincarnated novel I've read even though it's the classic revenge story.

Definitely one of my top 3. Not too much drama, funny with a little bit of political intrigue. I read to relax and feel good so as much as possible I try to avoid novels with too crazy plot which makes me wanna pull my hair out. This has just the right mix of what I want to read, and the naughty bits mixed in doesn’t hurt as well. Pleaseeee do give this a try☺️

It was really enjoyable for light reading. I am a big fan of political fights & scheming but I am not into much inner palace (harem) fights and this is exactly that. I'd say its pretty good writing considering the short length of this series. The story pretty much revolve around our main characters I would love to see more of them bickering tho (because they got together pretty fast) I would for more push & pull but I'm not that much dissatisfied. I'd say its good, i'll give it... more>> 5 stars

Ps. If you came for the smut tag like I did, I'll say this to you, there isn't much but the spice is pretty decently written so its good to me. I stayed for the plot though eventually <<less

The story is fast pacing, typical light-novel and quite enjoyable. No over complicated plots.

There are also warnings before any mature content, and still countable, which means it's not a lot.

At the halfway of the novel, some storylines are predictable. Thankfully the novel is short, so it's worth reading but no re-reading for me.

Pei Khan is cute but he is crying at the end of the novel. I wish there was an extra about him.

The antagonists are not as strong and clever as the male lead. That makes the 2/3 of the novel quite dull. Oh the crown prince lust over FL but it does not develop any further, I'm quite disappointed. I thought the story would go dark or something XD

The story starts off nicely and then slowly goes down from there. It is still a good read, but at one point you feel that the characters become boring and repetitive. I feel sorry for the Crown Prince, he becomes the sacrifice by the author in order to make the plot interesting (yet makes no sense). The end is rushed and illogical, especially with the set up of Pei Zhang. Overall, I give it 4 stars.

A good story in general, I liked the relation between the main couple but I wish there was more than the bed life. I find the schemes in the second part necessary for the story to be 81 chap but I wasn't really interested in that. The FL was good but not really integrated to the scheme part because all she was doing was asking questions to her husband. The ML was good too, very loyal, smart and doting to his wife.

a romance in ancient china revolving around scheming between the princes and their people.

You may have read quite a few novels about FL going inside the imperial harem and fighting there... it is not the case here ^^ to begin with, the MC isn't our FL, we have 2 MC here, the main couple. the story has many PoV but 60% is divide between these two.

the story only has 81 chapters and they're not that long either. that also means there's no time to make in-depth machination with useless characters.... more>> Each character is connected to the others one way or another, and they all have reasons and a full role in the novel. What I'm a bit dissatisfied because of the length is that the characters are weak. It's the first time I'm reading one of those "fighting for the throne" story with apparently crazy intelligent people but there's almost no show of power (secret service, alliance...). When it is said the story is revolving around scheming, it's literally the case.

Another point I found that's quite a shame: the FL lose her interesting character from the beginning in a flash. the little lion seems more like a cute cat, she's weak, extra weak and can't seem to be able to survive in the royal setting. The characters are also not cruel enough... I mean,

one of the strongest concubine being blackmailed many time by a simple widow many times before thinking "I should kill her" just make this story seems cute

My impression on this novel is a bit divide, but the author made a good job tying every lose end each time till the last chapter. It's not an impressive read, but not a bad one either. the chapters ends makes you wanna read the next meaning it's quite well-written.

tldr: it's a short story so the depth isn't as overwhelming as other long novels, but this one has the advantage to be nicely written with a concise and interesting plot.

also, s*x scenes are... meh xD probably the part the less well-written of the novel but you still get 5-8 chapters of that. <<less

This is the first web novel I read where the setting is in ancient times. At only 81 chapters, it's a nice and quick read and left me wanting more, honestly. I really enjoy the main couple and their interaction. The pace of the story was really good, up until the end where I felt was a bit rushed.

MC is the elder daughter of the Prime Minister and his first wife. Due to her father's betrayal of his first wife, MC and her mother move back to their hometown. That is where MC grew up and where she meets ML, the 9th Prince. ML always bully her as a child. He's 6 years older than her. But it's more of a "boy chase girl on the playground because he likes her" type of bullying. After her mother's death, MC moves back to the capital to stay with her father, her stepmother, and half-sister. Her half-sister is engaged to the Crown Prince and wants to marry him but can't because MC is still unmarried. When ML hears this, he rushes back to the capital to marry MC.

ML is known as the "gentle" 9th prince while MC is known as a calm and gentle young woman. But they both know these are just facades. MC refers to ML as an expert liar and ML calls MC his little lion. ML has always had a soft spot for MC and MC is grateful for his care and protection.

This story is about their married life and has plots and intrigues surrounding the royal family.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Both male and female leads were strong characters from start to finish and their chemistry was wonderful. If the story was written to make a reader experience changes in emotion at the appropriate times, then it was successful.

I actually thought that this was a very cohesive narrative. It was what it was from beginning to end; a rare kind of steadiness that was probably helped by the length (rather, the lack thereof). It was just a little boring...? Well, many things happen and many tragedies are perpetuated but I found it difficult to connect with the characters emotionally. TBH I think the core of the story is not the romance but rather the lesson "revenge begets more revenge" and "violence begets more violence."

Basically, ML and MC just wanna live a carefree life eating food and playing around but nobody will let them. And so they have to continue responding to schemes until literally everyone is dead. Also it definitely felt like a bad end for poor Thirteenth Prince since he gets stuck in the palace as Emperor as all his loved ones have to move away from the capital because "a mountain can't house two tigers."

Rating: 4 rounded off to 5 because of the low rating and due to the ending being quite satisfying and even had the cute side story

Been reading some reviews and sure this story has some mature content and graphic/gore details but maybe since I've been reading quite a handful of other stories that centres about revenge, I wasn't deterred when it turned dark. I think this isn't even that heavy or full of angst.

To warn future readers though, if you've read To Be A Virtous Wife, Chu Wang Fei... more>> etc, you might not like this as much but if you are just looking to pass your time, come try this out. It's not frustrating and 80 chapters is just about right. If you found that it's not to your liking, you did not waste too much of your time. And if it's not so bad or if you liked it, since it's completely translated you can immediately find out the fate of the characters. <<less
