Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Ruan Xi was reading a novel with a laid-back female protagonist at her own leisure. When she woke up again, she had transmigrated into the book and became the female supporting character with a good life, Ruan Xi, of whom the female protagonist envied.

In the story, the character Ruan Xi was the replacement for the engagement that had fallen through because her transmigrated, legitimate older sister had abandoned her fiancé from a rich family. Later, Ruan Xi was pampered to the heavens by her husband and became the winner in life as an imperially mandated first-rank wife to an official.

Ruan Xi, who had transmigrated over, watched as her transmigrated legitimate older sister prepared for that marriage happily. Similarly, her legitimate mother had also decided on another marriage agreement for her.

Ruan Xi: “……”

Years later, after the sister is suffering from her husband’s family, she came to Ruan Xi to see her struggling with misery. When she stood at the door of Ruan Xi’s house, she watched the cold and violent man in her previous life hold her in the palm of his hand with all kinds of wealth and love.

The beginning was a little boring and it took maybe 15 chapters for things to spice up. The most interesting parts were when MC and ML steals some time alone to "deepen their feelings." There are conspiracies here which is expected from an ancient china setting. However, since ML is basically perfect, those conspiracies are not much of a problem.

It's also a laid-back read as what is stated on the title. The romance is good. The characterization is good and things were tied up nicely at the end.

Really flat and boring for me. The MC is one-dimensional, the romance is... there I guess, and the villains are so s*upid and only exist to make the always calm and supposedly smart MC look better. Idk, was expecting better, but it quickly becomes the standard story for the genre. The excellent translation is the only thing that saves this novel.

This is a good read for historical novel having "multiple" transmigrator characters and how they adapt in ancient time.

Our main FL (Ruan Xi) who was supposedly a lucky cannon-fodder, chose a quiet life wherein she adhere to rules of ancient society. I like her sweet and trustful relationship with ML (Wen Ting Zhou)... even her in-laws were also good to her.

One of the highlights was also the FL's 3rd sister and OG Supporting Char/Villainess (Ruan Ning) who was also rebirthed transmigrator kept choosing wrong decisions despite her 3rd lifetimes and... more>> wanting to be Mary Sue but wasting her cheats. She made me face palmed myself multiple times with dumbness and stup*d schemes.

OG FL (Mu Qing Ci) was also transmigrated but glad that she still lived as foodie and laid back character like the OG plot and the author didn't make her evil.

I'm only confused with FL's transmigration maybe bc of MTL's translation..

Spoiler

She and the original owner got the same soul in this timeline only... or also other timelines??? Bc Miss Yang, Qi Yue An's fianceé seemed to have the soul of original owner in 1st life.

The title says a lot, the story really is about an MC who is mediocre apart from having really good looks and a good bearing. She has skills sure but they aren't ever shown off as such apart from one or two chapters when she makes her hubby a sachet.

the most entertaining thing about this novel is just the cannon-fodder character (mc's 3rd sister) who had lived 3 lives. The first one in modern times then transmigrates into a novel world in ancient times and is finally given a second... more>> chance at living in the ancient times. Not to mention she still has golden fingers (a system I think) but still, both lives ends up miserably and never learns to temper her arrogance and s*upidity.

As for the ori!protags of the novel they rarely ever show up and have no presence and things should stay that way prolly to the end.

Honestly don't expect much from this its just a really light read about how the MC lives by in ancient times following all their rules w/o standing-out and marrying a sweet hubby. <<less

The MC is the calm and collected type, which makes her sister, another transmigrator, look even more ridiculous. It's a unique take on the transmigrator trope that there three (?) different people who have transmigrated. I think the MC might be the only one aware of the others but I haven't gotten to the introduction of the 3rd one yet.

MC and ML's relationship is fairly realistic. The progress is slow and you can see how naturally their feelings develop for each other. It's so cute.

Update:

... more>> Finally finished

I loved it so much. There's a lot of fluff but it never gets slow mainly because of the MC's sister (she makes enough drama for the while country). I would definitely read this again when the translation is done, the mtl is okay but there were a few parts I just couldn't follow along. <<less

This novel is pretty decent. I like how the romance progress of the FL & ML goes.

Ruan Ning's tossing will make you annoyed, but FL & ML sweet interactions will make up for it.

... more>>
Spoiler

The only problem I find is that, the author just... Makes everyone except the close people who interact with FL are vicious....

When FL got pregnant, other girls (both married & unmarried) envy & wish for her to have miscarriage. This happened A LOT in the novel. Wishing for people to have miscarriage is... So bad...

And the author freakin mention it many times even after the FL gave birth. I mean, yeah sure, you can envy the FL because of her fortunate and 'lucky' life, but to simply ask for unfortunate events to happen to someone who you barely know & didn't even have any intersection with you... Idk what to say.

Author, you made me uncomfortable...

[collapse]

OriFL is just pitiful to be entangled with Ruan Ning. Tbh I really like her a lot, and it saddens me when she died pitifully in her 1st transmigration. But thankfully the author makes up for that in the last extra. <<less

I actually enjoyed this novel. The brain dead side character made me speechless but she remind me to an acquaintance who was the most s*upid woman but never realised it even with multiple failures, she never learnt until today. Although the sister's character was unrealistic to many readers but I think there are always idiots out there because I know one in the real life.

I think the 3rd sister, Ruan San Niang/ Ruan Ning was over confident and unconciously deceptive to herself, she lived through 3 lifetime with many golden... more>> fingers and made her thought that everything should revolved around her.

For the MC, I think her life too smooth and I think a bit boring, her brain dead sister make the story more interesting. <<less

The story formula is great so far with three female transmigrators. There are two timelines but MC only appears in second timeline. The story moves slowly and then fast forward quickly in certain parts, but I like that the MC is calm, smart, and adaptable to the era she was given a new life in.

Spoiler

The MC arrives as the down to earth FL supporting character in a novel she previously read. She appears in the second timeline of the foolish, cannon fodder transmigrator's third chance at life.

The FL cannon fodder has lived three lifetimes and current life is her third. She wasted the first new chance at life and somehow got another chance for a redo. The problem she has is that she always wants someone else's life instead of cultivating a life of her own. She has low EQ and IQ.

The last FL is innocent both timelines and unaware of the other two FLs or that there's a second timeline. Only the MC is aware of both transmigrators and has knowledge about FL cannon fodder's second life and redo. The MC is just trying to live her chance at a new life.

[collapse]

I feel a little bad for the MC's betrothed in first timeline. It implies they had a happy marriage but FL cannon fodder prevents their marriage in second timeline.

Spoiler

Surprise! There is a hidden 4th transmigrator!

It was a good story to pass time. The FL transmigrated sister is rather s*upid so her schemes just ended up being funny to me 😂 I'm glad almost everyone had the ending they deserve (good and bad)

Amazing translation.

It's feel-good story, basically, and I enjoyed it immensely.

And again, translation was superb. If it was slightly worse, I probably wouldn't read it as fast as I've read it in one sitting.

I was in love with main protagonists, such a lovely and heartwarming couple.

Plot was leaning on the more basic side but it was pleasant anyway.

I recommend it if you want some feel good, non brainer story to pass time.

I've read up to chapter 21 and I'm dropping this. The translation is good but the story? I don't know why but I can't bear to finish it. RN is written so badly when she has so much potential to not only be someone who is overly jealous of other's fortune. I don't know why I'm irritated to the point of writing this review. But yeah! I think this is the first time that I am dropping a novel because of a villain. I've read way worse novels with ratings... more>> way below 4 but this one just irked me. I am giving two points instead of 1 for the sake of the translator. Read at your own discretion! Okay bye ( ̄- ̄) <<less

Overall, I enjoyed the novel. The translation was very good and the novel had its moments. It’s definitely very slice of life so expect a slow burn.

There’s multiple transmigrations and rebirths. There’s also two timelines that have occurred. Here’s an explanation of the multiple rebirths and transmigrations.

First, the original novel is a transmigration novel. The OgFL is Mu CingQi. She’s a concubine daughter of the Mu family. She’s fated to be married to the 4th prince (OgML) as a concubine. Because she’s a foodie and didn’t really care about the... more>> in fighting, the 4th prince found it comforting to stay with her. That’s how they fall in love. Her son becomes crown prince and she lives out her old age as Empress Dowager. This is the original timeline of the novel. She actually doesn’t show up much.

Second, the first timeline. Ruan Ning (3rd Ruan legitimate daughter) transmigrates to the OG story as a side character. She’s originally engaged to Qi Yue A (illegitimate 2nd son) due to a promise between their fathers. She doesn’t want this marriage and forces it on her 4th concubine sister (Ruan Xi) due to his reputation as a lazy guy who only visits brothels and has a lot of concubines. She does all kinds of sh*t to break free from her role as a side character, which lands her in the palace as the emperor’s concubine. She dies young because the emperor ordered her buried alive with him when he died. She lives a decade as a ghost so she gets to see a lot of events play out. She gets rebirthed into the same story right after she originally broke the engagement, which is our current timeline.

Third, Ruan Xi is our protagonist that we’re following in this novel. In the first timeline, she ends up married to QYA because of her sister RN. She lives out her life being loved by him after he drives away all of his concubines. He also decided to strap up and started learning seriously. He ends up being an important official later on in life. In the current timeline RX is a modern girl who had a heart condition, which she later died from. She’s isekaid into RX’s body because the OgRX had died from a cold. In this timeline, because RN had been rebirthed, she decides to keep the marriage because she had seen how QYA changed and rose up later in life. Because she’s jealous of her 4th sister for her good luck (because RX picked up a marriage she (RN) didn’t want and got a successful and loving husband) RN decides to humiliate her (RX) by having her mom propose to Wen Ting Zuo fully expecting him to refuse. In the previous timeline, WTZ was a prominent official but he never married or had any concubines so everyone suspected he was gay. To their surprise, WTZ accepts and our story kicks off from there.

An explanation about Ruan Xi because I know it confused some

Spoiler

RX has technically been isekaid into this world twice. First as a baby and then after again as a teenager. What happened was she developed a fever around 12 yo that caused her to “lose” her memories. What actually happened was she actually died and isekaid back to the modern world. This meant that the person who married QYA in the first timeline was another person entirely. And then, she got isekaid back into this world in the second timeline, where she gets engaged and married to WTZ instead.

Very nice and light reading. The Main character, 4th sister, is very likable. The transmigration twists are also nice. But, I did not get to read about the Nun who killed with face powder/blush.

3 stars for me

I may be the outlier since the story was just okay for me. The story was dragging (I had to stop every few chapters since I literally got sleepy reading through it). I think my problem was that I didn’t anticipate that it was a slice of life story with a sprinkle of romance. It was my fault for not reading all the tags associated to the novel...

Translator did an excellent job (makes the terms easier to understand/remember). Also had some helpful info and images. Truly... more>> one of the best translations I’ve read so far. Probably one of the reasons why I decided to finish reading it.

Both the FL and ML are beautiful, smart, hard working, calm, and lucky. Perfect individuals, made perfectly for one another.

The villainess is annoyingly s*upid, and the complete opposite of the FL. I think I would’ve liked the story a lot more if they made the villainess into a cunning type.

Spoiler

At some point in the story, I just rolled my eyes and predicted that she’ll say or act in the most ridiculous way possible. Rather than shut up and think before acting, she’d just flare up and ignore basic etiquette. If it was her first lifetime then I’d probably be a little more considerate. But being her third lifetime (even a rebirth of the same time and place), it’s just ridiculous.

She repeatedly points out other people’s flaws or being improper while acting unladylike herself.

Even the part when her mother was doubting her, she should’ve been more wary... but no... she turned it up a notch. Simply ridiculous...

First and foremost: EXCELLENT translation. Explanations and accurate translations of the Chinese idioms makes this novel easy & smooth to read.

The MC is level-headed, with just a tiny tiny golden finger that was used like 1 time. 2, if you count another instance that's over in 2 paragraphs.

The romance is sweet, makes me smile. The ML is 'clean' in that he never had relations with other women. Though it's not love at first sight, it's close enough.

The antagonist which is the 3rd sis of the MC is just annoying to... more>> read. Once I found out how utterly brainless the author made her, I skipped most of her monologue, cause reading it just makes me annoyed. She's akin to a jumping clown. I get a feeling the author is maybe basing this character on the MC of other bad modern-girl-transmigrate-to-ancient-times novels. Those MCs have major golden fingers that don't make sense, then they use their golden fingers to gain attention and they go around face-slapping everyone they deem 'evil' just because they disagree with MC.
Spoiler

Makes no sense how a girl like that managed to survive so long, even with all her 'contributions'.

[collapse]

Love the fact that there's no other family drama. It's not revenge-theme, and she doesn't go around face-slapping everyone. Doesn't mean the MC allows herself to get bullied.

Spoiler

Other than that 3rd sis, most every other character who harms her get their just desserts.

This is a mix of political intrigue and backyard drama. The premise is nothing new and would have been fine, if not for the completely underwhelming villains and how they are written. The main villain is so full of herself, it's laughable and annoying at the same time. This also suffers from the reckless abandonment of possible good plots (... more>>

) but I guess the writer wanted to end in a Mary Sue way and fast.

There were also some glaring loopholes towards the end of the story, and I was a little surprised that only one character was given bonus chapters at the end because the character was barely interesting at most.

This was a disappointing meh for me except for the fact that it's short enough to binge read (but it still took me a week compared to others that I lost sleep over). It may appear interesting at first, but the development and ending fell very short of my expectations and preferences. <<less

A charming, low key, slice of life feel good novel that focuses on a FL who is the verh definition of a sode character. In the best way. No drama llamas please. Excellent translation that's both atmospheric and well crafted. Thank you 😊 to the translator for their hardwork. And now, I'm off to read their second translation.

Dryer and blander than boiled chicken made by a white child. I think the translator did the best they could but my god even that couldn’t save it. There’s a recurring line in the story that I feel describes it perfectly: “... ”

That’s it. That’s literally it, the MC came across as so detached and unaffected by everything it’s like she’s not even part of her environment. Her chemistry with the ML was nonexistent too. I couldn’t even enjoy the story’s smooth ride because the scenery... how to say... it’s... more>> all just autumn grass on a plain that stretches as far as the eyes can see <<less

Giving this a 5-star review because the current ratings are abit too low imo, but honestly this novel is more of a 4-star.

this novel is easy to read and relatively simple. All schemes and plots are uncovered very easily, while that's not a bad thing but as someone who prefers deeper plotting and the humanisation of villains to add more intrigue and a deeper sense of connection we see none of that. No villains really face any repercussions and repent for what they did, they are just removed from ever... more>> causing trouble again... and that prevents it from being truly satisfying. Then again this isn't a revenge novel

The character setup for the FL and ML are absolutely wonderful (except for how OP they are) and that is honestly what kept me hooked till the end. I love how respectful the both of them are to each other, and the ML is honestly one of the best MLs in c-novels (the top is still xjx from malicious empress for me) — I especially love his interactions with his mother! I've yet to see a ML who has such pleasant parents honestly. The FL is extremely likeable as well, but truly she's very OP and most obstacles are easily cleared

would definitely recommend for an easy read and for laughs <<less
