Before her rebirth, Wei Luo was an innocent little girl.

After rebirth, she appeared lovable on the outside but was a different person on the inside.

Those who learned of her true nature yielded to her.

Only the prince regent regarded her as a treasure; no matter how much he pampered her, it was not enough for him.

Anything she wanted, he gave her, including the princess position that she didn’t want, which he stubbornly pushed onto her.

Probably one of the most enjoyable (despite some minor things I dislike) I've read? Historical and for once the FL cuts all problems at the root. No nonsensical "i know this person will plot against me but I'll wait till they get me to retaliate". This has saved alot of people's lives.

Third time rereading.

It makes ABSOLUTE sense for the FL to be vicious and 'hateful' if you must, many of you I assume will let things slide until you get harmed irreversibly.

FLs in a historical setting need strength, whether they... more>> protect themselves ruthlessly or by other means.

I think many people still want to ignore that this IS ancient times, not the mention she's older than 6 years old mentally.

I'm not labelling ML as a pedo.... Again it's a historical setting, , , and we haven't seen him say he's especially into little girls. Which I'd assume is NOT the case. <<less

I placed such a high expectation to this story but I didn't expect to be disappointed in the end.

The age gap between the FL & ML is something I can't take. It makes me uncomfortable... I can't endure reading the time when Wei Luo reaches the age 15, Zhao Jie will be 24! It makes me sick to my stomach! It could've been alright if the encounter between Wei Luo and Zhao Jie was a little later in the story or when Wei Luo is a little older than 8... more>> or Zhao Jie is not older than 15...

Hate when Changhong has little to none weight in the story. I'm not pleased by the explicit bias Wei Kun has. Changhong clearly came from Jiang Miaolan and is Wei Luo's twin, he's supposed to receive the same amount the FL gets or probably gain a little more because typically, in this ancient setting, boys are more valuable than girls... I felt it was useless to make Changhong's existence as Wei Luo's brother if he's going to be sitting in the sidelines for the most part of the story.

Dropped the story at Chapter 21 because I felt its getting boring watching a 15yo resume her schemes in a six yo girl's body. I shouldn't read stories with children, currently in the process of forming their personalities, as the MC. <<less

I love this story. The storyline is a little messy; an 8 year old child already being promiscuous and doing crimes?????? The “villainess” of a sister is also understandably upset with the FL, her family definitely doesn’t like her and prefer the FL. BUT I don’t care. I love this book!!! I love the petty FL!!! And I absolutelyyyyyy love the ML. Kinda wish I was the FL in order to marry him. They’re relationship isn’t for everyone. They’re age gap is huge and they start exploring early on. Keep... more>> this in mind before reading. Some people mind, some don’t. I really love them together though and don’t see anything wrong with their relationship at all. For the time period I thought it was pretty mild. <<less

The plot and characters only deserve 3 stars at best, but the writing style is good so that makes it 4 stars.

MC is physically perfect and described by the characters as having a good personality. Personally, I find her personality to be very stuck-up and self-centered. She often looks down on others and allowed her past life to dictate her attitude even when things are obviously heading at a different direction. She also does not bother to care about others, even when she's causing harm, as long as she is... more>> fine. Meanwhile, ML is a h0rny person who loves MC - that's it. I did not see any indication of him having a deeper character than that. MC's twin is a bland character. He's very stagnant and does not have another character aside from being a sis-con.

The romance between MC and ML is good though. It has its shining moments. The translations are great too! On the other hand, there are a lot of cannon fodders in this novel that just makes you disappointed with their endings. The CFs are pitiful because the author did them dirty.
Spoiler

Cannon fodders:

Song Hui - blame the author for hurting this angel

Li Song - he was questionable during latter parts of the story, but he was heavily dealt with at the beginning when he does not deserve to be treated like that

Wei Zheng - author just hates her. Her mom got separated from her, her family treats her as air, even relatives do not care about her. She's a product of bad parenting, but she's not really evil. Then, her life ended up being full of sufferings. She just wanted to get laid, she did not deserve what happened afterwards.

Gao Danyang - the empress promised to act as matchmaker between her and ML. She wasted her youth for ML because the adults around her made her hopeful that she will be his wife. It's the adults who are at fault here.

All in all, this is a pretty good light read however it has some plot holes and it lacks a lot of character development. I've read The Royal's Cute Little Wife from the same author and I found it better than this one. It is a light read, however some parts of it have the tone down to a revenge rebirth novel and others are simply pampering by overbearing male lead romance trope. It is too heavyhanded to be fluffly and yet it is too simple to be revenge story.... more>> I don't feel I wasted my time reading this however I keep thinking more in the bad points than in the positive ones.

A lot of people seem unhappy with the ages of the main couple however this is probably historically accurate so I don't mind it too much. Rather, I'm not confortable with the ML's attitude. I know he's meant to be a black-bellied, overbearing character however I still feel he's way too forceful. I dreaded his scenes because he always forced or coerced the MC to put up with anything he wished to do. This is probably a chinese novel trope as well as the painful s*x, however I'm still very discomforted by the constant lack of consent.

Good points:

    • The translator is so wonderful! Not only the translation quality is superb, she also includes the best explanations and images of chinese food, clothing and items. You really feel you're not missing anything.
    • The Empress and Emperor's story is pretty interesting and it evolved in a way that actually makes sense.
      Spoiler

      An outstanding female general that helped him win his throne and focused her life purpose on her children after she had to leave the battlefield to become empress. She was a proud, determined person who cared about her family the most. The emperor crossed her bottom line when he failed to protect her family and treasure her love. I think the ending with a regretful emperor was pretty fitting.

      [collapse]
    • Wei Luo did call out the ML on his hypocritical views and at the last chapters their relationship did get better in the sense the ML actually seemed to listen to her opinions properly.
    • The author included an issue that's rarely seen in this kind of novel
      Spoiler

      even if it didn't have a huge impact on the plot and it was easily solved, I appreciate that the MC actually had fertility problems that weren't related to someone else's schemes

      [collapse]
    • Fourth aunt Qi-shi is amazing! She's the most likeable character to be honest. She doesn't get as many scenes as we'd like to read about but she's a wonderful woman.
      Spoiler

      Even if Wei Luo thinks she doesn't really treats her as her own daughter, we sure can see that she does. She just didn't need to scold her at any point.

      [collapse]
      She's reasonable, warm and helpful.
Bad points:

    • In my personal opinion, the protagonist is too bland to be likeable. She has standards for what she wants (which she got with a husband that only is good to her) but she doesn't really have many traits apart from being vain, beautiful and stubborn. She's rather passive and a total pushover since the romance started. Apart from the 6-7 years old arc that happened inmediately after her rebirth where she actually put effort into her schemes to protect herself and her brother, she never really seemed to do much. She could get violent at times but she rarely had to even act since most of the time the ML or others did all the work so she could have a smooth sailing life. The most bothersome part is that she's so aimless... she simply doesn't seem to have any dreams or a purpose in life. We only know she invested a lot of time and effort in her beauty. That's all. Her twin brother is even blander and he's just quiet and loves his sister. That's all we know of him. He's a rather robotic character. He follows her around, carries her when she's tired and... that's it actually. He's the most underdeveloped character of them all.
    • The maddening lack of consent! It's so prevalent I just couldn't stop feeling bad.
      Spoiler

      It's even worse because of her young age when the s*xual stuff begins (she was 13 years old)

      [collapse]
      He even favored groping her breasts even though she clearly expressed it was hurting her and it only drove him to be rougher. The ML could have runied her reputation so many times whenever he stole her away to a corner and threatened her with being heard or noticed so she'd accept his groping and kisses. Even if he's oh so powerful, there was still a risk and she was known to be engaged to someone else. She not even liked him in that way at the time. And later, did she even really like him or did she come to accept him due to gratitude for his help and pampering? Was it resignation? I'm not sure. Even the ML thinks at some point that he has to pamper her because she'd leave with whoever treated her the best It felt totally like a s*xual assault most of the time. It was just wrong.

    • Maybe it's meant to be like that but the whole pampering relationship between the MC and ML was like a pet-master thing (it got better close to the end). He is indulgent with Wei Luo but it seems he's pampering a pet more than a wife or life companion. He doesn't respect her thoughts, her refusals or even her feelings. Everything is about his own desires and his kindness to her is because of his own whims, he doesn't really seems to respect her. He touches her whenever and however he likes. He is good to her because she's his. He keeps her at home and if she dares disobey him then he will punish her with s*xual stuff. Meh, I'm not really feeling their "love story" at all.
    • Plot holes and some facts that don't make sense. The nanny disappears all of sudden after the childhood arc (or is that normal? I've read in other novels about nannies that go with their misses when they marry but in this one she just vanishes and she's never mentioned again). The Duke's family seems to have good servants and informants however they also are strangely clueless at some points. The duke and first uncle are useless and rarely even mentioned. The political stuff is too easily solved out of sight.
      Spoiler

      We don't get answers about the fate of the Chen clan (empress militar family) apart from a mention of her father probably force to retire. The rival family (consort's family) doesn't seem to do much either. for all that the emperor was supporting them to supposedly suppress Chen family.

      [collapse]
    • The fate of cannon fodder in this novel is truly too cruel.
      Spoiler

      Zhen was unpleasant and didn't like Wie Luo but apart from her despicable plot with aphrodisiac she never harmed anyone and yet she was repeatedly gang r*ped, mistreated by her husband, humiliated by her in laws and forced to kill herself. That was way too horrible. The concubine sister who pushed Wei Luo also had an awful fate punished by a forced abortion and being sold to the red district. Gao Dayang was forced to marry a foreigner promiscous prince and was beaten by her husband to the point he caused her to miscarry.

The story is good just timeline is confusing. Anyway, the MC isn't really likable. The main issue is her bias to the My brother, and the fiancee.

Sigh.

Now the issue mainly is how she broke poor hui's heart. I'm more mad at the author, why would she let the feelings grow? Poor dude (in my imagination) looked like he lost the will to breathe and basically live.

Still though the book isn't bad, I like reading it until she dumped Hui, then I was like know what, I'm done.

Chongfei Manual focused more on the development of relationship between the two MCs. Not many conflict appear in the story, and the author also did not drag a conflict between MCs and side characters for too long. I appreciate the fluff, the way the ML pining for the FL and pampered her since her childhood is quite adorable. Some people might find the age gap a bit uncomfortable, but since the story is set in ancient China, I think it is still quite acceptable (as most girls married young back... more>> then).

FL can be a bit ruthless and cunning sometimes, but not too severe. She's also very protective of her twin brother, whom I really hope to be able to get a little side story about his thoughts. The ML is portrayed as a cold-blooded, vicious and ruthless prince, but the novel did not say much about this side of his and focus more on his interaction with FL.

It was quite an enjoyable read for me and the translation is great, hats off to the author and the translating team. <<less

pretty good; however, I sometimes think that the author should have made this either a really fluffy novel without cruelty, or they should have created a better balance regarding the viciousness of certain characters - now it's a mixture of both and kind of odd at times. Li Song, the emperor, and Wei Luo's mother also really made me mad with their inconsistent and hypocritical behavior...

Overall, the story is pretty cute with plenty of fluffy moments and revenge exacted on all necessary parties. I like that Wei Luo most of... more>> the time wasn't the one to exact the revenge, since it would be illogical for her to be a genius at scheming like Shen Miao for example because she only lived as a village girl in her last life. <<less

I've read this story already but I love reading it again and again.

In all my reading about BG historical-romance stories, this is my favorite, my number one most recommended story ever.

Although there's part of it I don't like, it doesn't decrease my fondness for the story. In fact, it made me love this story even more.

... more>> Seriously, I'm trying to find a story similar with this kind of MC especially her way of thinking.

There's a charm in this story that is way different than TBaVW, to be honest.

Also, me hoping that the author would have an enlightenment and make a side story or a parallel world for MC and LS because it's too interesting, really. <<less

I am so glad with Li Song ending in this alternate universe!

Maybe he was indeed an arrogant and unreasonable person in his previous life.
But he mets Wei Luo. He hates her, but later his hate turn to be love, and then... he changes.

All he does now, is for her. All he he does now for one reason only: will she likes it?

So I am feel so bad, when he throws his family heirloom to her before he leaves. It means he will devote his love to her only in this life, right?
But for sure, she didn't accept nor appreciate it.
And then Zhao Jie, burns with jealousy, cripple his martial art. It was mean dead already!

I feel so bad for Li Song!
He didn't do anything wrong anymore, except for loving her.
For his love, he was even willing to let her go....
He lost everything. It was so cruel destiny!

So I am so glad when he reborns and meets with Wei Luo again. He rewrite his fate, and finally able to be with her whom he love dearly and longing in both of his life period.
He deserves it!
Indeed, he deserves to be happy....

This is a cute story. Not crazy long, just the right amount of chapters so that it's not dragged out. Many parts where I got anxious, but was pleasantly surprised because nothing bad bad happened. I like that the characters for the most part all had an ending to their story and the bad guys got what was coming to them.

tbh was hoping for more of a protagonist sponsored revenge. Although the MC was able to get revenge and have a somewhat fulfilling story, the ML seemed like more of a protagonist than our MC and the MC was only able to avoid harm/take "revenge" by resorting to using the ml's power. Story seemed to lean towards ML more than our MC.

age difference wasn't a problem in the stort just over look it if you can.

overall decent story where the MC isn't too over intelligent/powerful but still witty and achieves... more>> her wanted end goal. <<less

To summarize, the ML and FL are completely ruthless and overpowered too. Everything is smooth sailing for them. The first few chapters are interesting, but then it started to get boring in the middle.

The funny thing is that I thought Song Hui was the ML at first (I did not read the translator note). When I realized that Zhao Jie is the ML, I almost dropped this due to the pe*ophilia (kind of) feeling I had. But then this was a story of ancient times, so I think that might... more>> be normal?

Overall, the narrative and the plot are really nice (shout out to fuyuneko). It was a good story

Spoiler

one thing that make me rate this 5 instead of 4 is that the author took pity to Li Song. I'm glad he had his own happy ending.

I did end up finishing this novel but there were parts that I felt dragged, especially after MC and ML got married. The author spent a bit of time on MC as a 6-year-old which is sort of awkward considering that ML was 15 years old at the time. ML is pretty typical of the MLs from these kinds of novels: a Prince who is said to be ruthless and merciless, who's performed meritorious military feats at a young age, but shows a different side of himself only to MC,... more>> which is kind and gentle. MC is a bit annoying, in my opinion. She's pretty much a spoiled brat who uses her beauty to act like a white lotus. She also uses her knowledge from her previous life to judge and condemn people. For example, in her past life, her fiance Song Hui whom she was betrothed to since birth ends up getting engaged to her half-sister because MC was missing. So after her rebirth, she harbors a bit of prejudice towards him. She doesn't want him but she also won't let her half-sister have him. She breaks off their engagement on the day his family came over to discuss the marriage. This takes Song Hui by surprise because he's always been told that MC is his little bride and MC never made it seem like she doesn't like him.

Spoiler

My favorite scene though is when MC bit ML when they first met and after she escaped in the horse carriage, she looks out at him and tells him "Not. Tasty. At. All". LOL. She's such a brat but I thought that was so cute. And then when he visits her after the incident, she gives him the medicine for the bite so he wouldn't get mad at her.

[collapse]

The author seems to start what could become arcs of their own but never follow through so we're left confused. For example, after MC was bitten on the neck by a love rival, ML asked Imperial Consort Ning (who's a villain) for a scarring cream which she sends over with no difficulty. I kept waiting for the rest of the novel to see if something would happen (like maybe the cream was a poison that prevents pregnancy or something). It was confusing because she's this evil person but she once did one good deed towards MC and ML. Because of things like this, there are so many characters who are in the grey areas as opposed to being black and white. Like many villains, the author gave us a side to them that is considered redeeming, only to not give them a decent ending. There's also a love rival of MCs who received what I thought was a harsh ending. The only thing she did was had a love for ML (she also grew up being told that she would be ML's bride).

Also, I don't know if I was mistaken but I felt like the author alluded to MC's mother being transmigrated that's why MC's mother was very mysterious. She was reborn into the body of an orphan and MC's father fell in love with MC's mother at a lantern festival while she's solving riddles. I wish the author explored this a bit more. To be honest, I'm left feeling unsatisfied. <<less

If a time travel reincarnation is up your thing, this should be right up your alley. ML is pretty solid, it just made a bit uneasy that he sorta maybe idk... watch the FL from child to teen and it made me a bit uncomfortable when the 'interest' was clearly implied and the FL was basically still a child at that time so.... yeah

Typical story of a MC, reborn to take revenge against her villain step mother and step sister, who encounter a prince who will take her to reach the pinnacle of life. The translators did a great job, but the story itself had quite a few annoying "flaw" in my opinion:

... more>>
Spoiler
  • For exemple in the first life of the MC, after being rescued by the peasant family, why didn't she try to go back to her home in the capital ? instead of waiting 10 years to do so?
  • After being reborn she waited 10 years before breaking of her engagement with the guy she was engaged since birth, although since the beginning she knew she didn't want to marry him. Same story for the ML, he never really clearly said to his cousin he wasn't interrested in her, instead he waited till being engaged to the MC to tell her to marry someone else...
[collapse]

In almost EVERY chapter we are reminded how beautiful and perfect the MC is. She is always described as the epitom of beauty since she is 5 yo. It is almost sickening.

Spoiler

I find the ML a little bit creepy to be sexually attracted to a 12 13 year old girl, when he is 9 years older

[collapse]

Actualy apart for the MC and ML, and the MC's two girl friends, the other characters had a pitiful ending or were under exploited or we dont know how they en up. We can say they werent "canon foddered" very well... like the twin brother, the MC's mother, the guy the MC's was engaged with since birth... <<less

Interesting story, the MC is not OP but she doesn't need because people are not very smart in this story and most of her enemy got a very bad end (a bit pitiful).

The story, except at the beginning, is basically a slice of life of a young and extremely beautiful girl and her lover/husband who pampered her to no end with explicit scene in the second half.

This is not the best story, but I wanted to know the end of the Story so I read it in 3 days.

Edit: I have read so much rebirth/transmigration stories and this is one of the best I've read. The plot may be simple but it is well crafted.

Simple plot, simple characters, a whole lot of sweet moments. If there's one thing that's missing here, there wasn't really a villain. They just encounter problems or minor setbacks along the way. I think the author could've made it darker if he/she wanted it to, but I think it was just right.
Spoiler

Honestly, I was kind of disappointed that the MC was able to carry out her revenge so early on in the story.

[collapse]

P.s: I see a lot of people hating the age gap. But honestly, it wasn't so bad for me. I think that age gap is totally fine for that era.
