Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Description

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

Cheng Yujin was the elder twin sister, who was supposed to be engaged to an excellent man. However she later learned that her fiance, Marquis Jingyong, had proposed to her because he mistakenly recognized her as her younger twin sister. Marquis Jingyong and her younger sister had a deep relationship, and after many twists and turns, finally broke through all hardships and became eternal lovers. While Cheng Yujin was the villain who replaced her sister’s good marriage, kept framing her sister, and hindered the main couple to be together. A really wicked older sister and poisonous late wife.

After the younger twin sister was reborn, she revealed Cheng Yujin’s ‘conspiracy’ early on. Everyone scorned her, and her so-called fiance was indifferent. Cheng Yujin sneered and tore off their engagement letter in front of her fiance.

Everyone was gloating and happily waiting to see her regret her actions. However, before Marquis Jingyong had a chance to see Cheng Yujin’s regret, he saw his former fiancee marrying her uncle.

The ninth uncle of Cheng family was truly a hidden dragon, his real power frightening everyone.

***

Cheng Yujin, this coquettish little wife, lightly lifted her eyebrows and casually said, “A mere Marquis Jingyong, is he worthy? Do you think that robbing him away will affect me?”

Almost forgot to say, ninth uncle wasn’t surnamed Cheng. His real name was Li Chengjing, the crown prince.

Ooooh. So good!!! I really like it, september flowing fire quickly becoming one of my top favorite authors! It's really good, from the way MC handles, thinks, and acts is so good, really an empress in the making! She's so cool and I just know I'm going to re read this. ML is okay too, I quite like his part, though he disappeared for a part.

I like how they both conduct themselves, they feel so good to read. I love MC overcoming her family and ML's political part. Though it... more>> did become quite a stretch in the end, as how most SFF novels go, but the entirety of the novel made me not mind it. 5/5! <<less

I enjoyed reading this. Definitely recommend it. It's not for people who love a crowded itinerary of events tho. It focuses on the FL and ML circumstances, not their lives or even feelings, just their circumstances. What I mean by this is, unlike other novels with a similar concept, it doesn't really delve into the details of anything that happens, if we take running a business for an example, it will just mention that FL came to posses a shop, and then that's the end of it. It more focuses... more>> on the circumstances of relations and their dynamics. The bad about it is, similarly to other novels of it's type, it frames unhappiness and misfortune as a sort of mistake in the woman's behavior, when truth is, their lives are much more ruled by luck than anything. That's an entire can of worms so I won't dwell into it too deeply and just go onto the next thing. The FL doesn't really hold much emotion and there is no revenge to indulge in, but it's a pity the author didn't fully commit to that aspect of her and missed out on making this no romo in the vein of Job of an imperial concubine.

There's a handful of things some ppl won't notice and others won't care about, but there a number of tiny 'this was clearly a thought by a modern person' instances in the novel, like, the ML mentioning FL's long hair and the care of it, when men also had really long hair and had the same washing/oiling routine.

All in all an enjoyable read. <<less

I reread this 3 times! Lol, its a great read. CYJ is a real badass MC. Lol she very sharp tongue and vry deep hearted, she doesn’t have much gold finger except her ninth uncle, lol and her perfectionist side, which she horn to survive. M L also considered powerful but in a very realistic way. Both of them complement each others very much. It’s a very nice read. Thank you

A good read. However, not recommended for binging... should be read over a few days or weeks since the constant conniving and scheming gets tedious.

MC, Cheng Yugin, is 14 years old at the start of the story. She is intelligent, mature, and single minded. Through most of the plot, she is scheming to get a good marriage. The importance of marrying well is of utmost importance since her future life and happiness depends on future husband. Women are not valued in her society.

ML, Li Chengjing aka Cheng Yuanjing, is her... more>> 9th uncle but actually a prince in hiding. Only MC's grandfather knows his identity since it is hidden from the rest of the family.

Spoiler

At the beginning of the story, MC had a dream of her previous life when her husband liked her younger sister and she died during childbirth.

Later when her fiancee came to cancel their engagement, she wasn't surprised. Her younger twin sister had revealed to him that she was the one who saved him first and warmed him with her body. After she left, MC was the one who found him in a cave and brought him back. This is where the misunderstanding originated. The fiancee thought MC schemed against her sister.

So MC had no fiancee and a bad reputation due to the canceled engagement. From there, she starts plotting. She uses whoever and whatever to achieve her goals... even ML. She never considered ML as a potential husband since she finds out his identity early on.

ML falls in love with MC first.

Spoiler for later on

...

...

They do eventually get married after ML takes back his identity.

They have boy/girl twins.

ML becomes emperor after his father is poisoned. MC becomes empress. ML has only MC was his wife for the rest of their lives.

I'm not gonna give a rating because I don't think this is really my genre. But it did put Romance in genre and not just Romantic Subplot so I didn't expect so little romance, despite the slow romance tag. Unless it picks up after chapter 100..

This was about the struggles in her family and I guess palace later on but I stopped at chapter 100 so I'm not entirely sure. I really liked "Eight Treasures Trousseau" and quite a few others of supposedly the same genre but this felt really... more>> different. I wanted to skip through a lot of chapters and only read it in fear of missing out on details but it's actually really long winded. It's just weird 😂

I may come back to it later but I'll put it off for now. <<less

Honestly, I didn't expect much when I read this. Turns out it's better than what the title makes it out to be. Kudos to the translator they did a very very good job. This one is a first I read from this author, and I gotta say the novel is really good. I'm planning on read another one of their novels. I usually don't like slice of life stuff, but once it's done with a historical theme adding romsnce, it's quiet nice to read. FL, if I'm to compare her... more>> to another FL, I say she's kind of similar to Wei Luo in a sense where if someone slighted her in the past, she wont give them another chance. She will dislike them and blacklist them. FL is a prefectionist, but only ML can break that wall and make her show her ture self. One thing I wanted more of was the extended story to the extra chapter 2. That extra chapter is so good and really struck me. I liked it a lot and kind of wished there was a few more chapters describing what ML does to make FL marry him. We often don't get a romance novel with ML getting a start over chance and with that extra chapter I loved it so much. I like how it plays on the theme of no matter what life time, he will always choose her. ML is so preverted towards FL it's so funny and some of the chapters I read made my heart beat fast and my face flush red. I almost want to hit him like the FL. Please give this novel a chance. It's a nice read. Not too dark, but also not too light either. A good balance. <<less

Well at first I was very much surprised that noble lady searched through mountains for her sister while having bunch of servants. Just so you know ladies don't do that, they gave orders and wait. If we're talking about well behaved young lady. Maybe she must do everything herself. There was my thought, as I tried to explain her very strange behaviour. Such people do exist after all. But than I was slapped on face as she mocked her mother for trying to do everything herself. Along with fact that... more>> she behaves as example lady we having here very huge loophole.

So what was it? As someone who read plenty of novels I can't help but think - maybe she since very beginning had some cheats? She knew that her sister will find a very successful man and decided to steal? But first live was unsuccessful and when returned she decided to grab even better man. With her being a wife of big man there's very small possibility for her not to knew who would be emperor. So specially made show to get opportunity to knew man and than seduce him into making her empress. That jumping through the window to eavesdrop was too out of her character. Its like opportunity for them to become closer. And that man she fancied was more like a way to make him jealous and back up plan.

Hypocrite MC, ML so typical that he seems without character, idiotic family, plot so full of loopholes, that I started writing in my mind new plot just to feel in. In the end it was boring and seeing MC mocking her family for being greedy than drooling over money herself was enough for me. Hypocrites never was my cup of tea and with family all being idiots so she could shine and ML being all cold and suspicious but falling for her almost right away... Plot... Well it exists only to make MC shine, it doesn't have logic.

In short it was story I disliked everywhere, so I didn't bother to read any further. Kudos to author and translator and their talent at using words to make it interesting, at least it something you don't want to drop immediately, only when you can't bear that raising hypocrisy. <<less

This is far better than my expectation, finding this is such a great joy. I love the characters of MC and ML, both are claimed and smart. This novel is very well written but, of course, not perfect and I enjoy the story enough to look past those.

A worth reading.

This is a well written story & translated also amazingly. Such a joy in reading!

Our FL is loveable, ML also drool-worthy, side characters are not overly s*upid, no excessive plot, and this deserves more than 5 stars.

The translators TT_TT so good! I've read quite some translated cnovels with patreon/ko-fi yet their translations were sub-standard. Not this one (by koffeam) ❤️ I'm definitely checking aerialrain's other work!

This is a good read and a way to pass time. It would make you hook but at the same time maintain your interest. Not as astounding as To be A Virtuous Wife and Eight Treasures Trousseau that would continuously raise your excitement. But was still well-written although the controversies would be treated as 'normal' compared to other court intrigue novels. Easily a 4.5 but I rounded it off.

I had to read the end in mtl because I couldn't wait to know more. But kudos to the translator, who made an absolute wonderful job with the flow of the story so you barely notice the few mistakes.

The relationship between the FL and ML is so beautiful and well developed. They actually sit and talk about their problems like adults even though the author could've waved it away and made them unreasonable because of their age. I think their relationship is a slow burn, but it's actually one of... more>> the few well written ones out there who actually takes the time to set a steady base for the feelings.

The protagonists are very rational and logic people so they avoid a lot of trouble that they would have gotten into if this was another story. But that doesn't make them boring in any moment and the few times that they get very emotional are delightful.

Also, the family of the FL are not condemned by the plot to be eternally s*upid and self sabotaging.

Really, the author made such a good job in everything. You won't regret giving this story a chance, I promise. <<less

The novel is just too great ! READ IT ! It's a must !

The MC is very crafty but you have to feel sorry for her because this is her only way to survival. In the end, being sceming is her way to have a less difficult life. She have 2 pairs of parents but she is more like an orphan (with no one to protect her, to plan for her). I felt tired for her.

And to be honest, I said "crafty, scheming, etc..." but I think "very smart" because,... more>> let's be honest, in the same situation, you should be like her or beaten and bullied.

The story is very well writed and I just love the MC character. She is a good planner so she have to scheme to reach her goal in spite of these hateful and selfish relatives.

Her interaction with the ML are just wonderful. She met her mate. Their love is long-awaited and directly jump to marriage (forced by circonstances and directed by the ML). They are not lovers but become directly married couple. Still, it's very fluid and not unnatural at all because they were a natural couple (without sense of it for the MC at first).

And the sweetness after marriage was great !!!!!!! <<less

A very good novel. Cheng Yujin is very realistic, unlike some main characters who say they have good moral values but actually don't. She also takes revenge and knows how to create benefits for herself by using her horrible family members. She sets a goal for herself and it is a very logical one too. She wants to marry a wealthy and powerful husband that can provide benefits for her, which is something that I'm sure every female in ancient china want. Although she is a bit selfish and shameless,... more>> Cheng Yujin also has compassion, unlike those female leads who take revenge a bit too far and vicious, which makes her even more down-to-earth.

As for the male lead, he seems like a good husband for Cheng Yujin. I also do hope he continues to be like what he is now, and not let Cheng Yujin suffer any further grievances (I mean, nobody in her family even truly cares for her! She's so young and yet, she's more sensible than her adopted mother AND her biological mother!).

I wasn't very into this when I first started, because I felt a bit uncomfortable at Yujin's shamelessness (XD). However, as I read, I felt that everything Cheng Yujin did was reasonable, considering the fact that she never had any familial love. Moreover, the more farther I read, the more I saw how twisted her family members were, thus, Cheng Yujin gradually became my third favorite female lead! Go Cheng Yujin!

Totally recommend this novel, you'll like it. <<less

I lov this novel absolute. This novel always makes me laugh and its contains real bitter life. I had ride a rollercoaster in life and even went off t track. All I want just peace of mind now. I wish I read this novel early on. Cheng Yujin character is not wrong. Being selfish is never wrong w t fact that everything is all ur own effort. Only urself responsible for your life. Cheng Yujin's family character is v common even in this 21st century. I found comedy and love... more>> really in t air. I love cheng Yujin. I hope she got everything she wants in t novel.

I really love this novel. It's quite different from the usual reincarnation/rebirth type that I've read because the MC never really bothered to get revenge to those who hurt her during her previous life or her dream-like life before as what she calls it. She just focused on herself and her dream to marry some rich, powerful man. It may seem like she's cunning and manipulative but I think she have every right to be because of the kind of environment she lived in. Besides I think she's a good... more>> person compared to any of her family. She's smart, independent and she knows what she wants. I stan! 🙌 <<less

actually I was very reluctant to read this novel but I had nothing to do and seeing the reviews I couldn't help but be curious, therefore, I've read it. And let me tell you this was one of the best Chinese novels I've read so far.

the FL personality is not perfect but she's not vicious either, she's very balanced, smart but not overly so. very realistic! the characters have depth to them and are not shallow like most romance novels. the ML is good.

the romance is slow but the interaction... more>> of the couple is very amusing, they have great chemicals going on there it's so refreshing.

but I do have a complaint... the style of the author is mainly good but sometimes some details (like the past of the ML) gets repeated although from different people's point of view but nothing interesting is added just copying the same thoughts over and over again. It personally annoyed me a little but it's okay.

overall a good read totally recommend! <<less

They're all calculative and are reasonable. It's a worthy read. Every characters have their fair share entry and yup! Some will really get your blood boil. I'm quite satisfied with their rebuking speeches and the their romance are not like those novels who exaggerated it to the point that you'll locked them up completely. Their love is in slow pace and I like it since they're getting to know each other and funding their compatibility. Just read it.

This is a hidden gem. It is also one of those historical Chinese novel that is ok to translate as long as you read available translated chapter.

I give this novel a 4.5. It is one of those rare rebirth/dream of pastlife that does not spout overpowered protagonist. I like how graceful the faceslapping are. Plus karma is really a b****.

<spoiler>

FL is described as 'perfect' by others but she is 'flawed.' These flaws are her self-defense mechanism in her a hard life. ML, is her knight in shining armor. He is... more>> a 'perfect prince', but he is not without flaws. His life is even more arduous, and FL is his remedy. I just love this couple so much.

No meng, no fluff, just mutual affection, respect and trust.

</spoiler>

I marathon MTL this novel and hurried over to recommend this novel to you. <<less

This is good!! The translation is really good. I really like broken engagement tag with rebirth in it. While it's a bit too early to judge the story right now, the translation is really great. Wish the chapters were longer! The MC knowing her past acts more tough and determined to live a comfortable life, so it's amusing to see how the ML came and disrupted all those plans.

My only concern is how the former FL is kinda s*upid...
