Description

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

With a dad who made it big, his scheming b*tch of a concubine, and a pushover for a mother, Yan Yan’s life was bound to be rough. No matter. In her opinion, absolute strength could overcome any number of schemes in household struggles. As she became used to acting fierce, everyone feared her as though she were a wolf or tiger. She thought no one would want to marry her, but someone by her side actually said he had deeply rooted feelings for her.

Come, come, little fatty Luo, tell this lady how many years ago you’ve had these deeply rooted feelings for me.

Little fatty Luo: T.T… I won’t tell you that it was in my past life, even if you beat me to death!

Due to various reasons, Luo Huai Yuan only had the dirty thoughts but not the courage in his past life, and missed out on his consort. After reincarnating, he is determined to treat her like a treasure. He won’t fight back when beaten. He won’t yell back when scolded. He also wants to have her give birth to a bunch of fat little children for him…

A really good read. Loved both the ML and FL. The ML and FL were the ideal pair and spoke everything and there were no misunderstandings, especially the ML who tells her how he feels all the time, The FL also becomes more like him as time goes on. This was really pleasing to read.

ML and FL fit each perfectly. Both make up for each others short comings. An ideal pair.

ML - Is a transmigrator in his first life where he lived as the useless fourth prince and... more>> later died by poison by his brother. His only grieving would be his wife with whom he couldn't live properly. Later he is reborn when he 10 or 11 years and he starts planning a new life where he plans to marry his wife again in this lifetime and live happily.

FL - She is very strong and level headed and smart. Since her mother will be too soft and her brother too young, all responsibilities of taking care of her family and saving them from other concubines fall on her head since a young age.

The story is all about the ML planning to integrate into the life of FL and solving all her problems and create a safe future for them.

Marriage and children

Spoiler

They will be happily married and there will no concubines and other jealous girls and boys fawning over them. The ML would have earned a lot of money and make a lot of contacts since a young age for their future so he will take care of his family very well in all aspects. They will have two children a girl and a boy.


His fifth brother would have also come back in time, they both join hands to fight against their brother who killed them in their last lifetime. Later the fifth brother becomes the king. The ML will give up all the governing rules as a prince and goes back to being an idle prince enjoying his days happily with his family without any responsibility.
They will have 2 children. First a daughter and then a son.

This FL is flat and ML doesn’t get enough chance to show himself because he’s been forced by the narrative to behave like a mindless wife simp and it doesn’t work because she brings nothing to the table. Her character is basically kind of like the noble tyrant girls who shout and beat at people to get whatever they wan by using the backing of their family. Early in the novel it’s good that she’s learned to use this but then it goes nowhere and is never tactful about it,... more>> so instead of it being a plot point that helped her grow, it’s made into her entire personality.

She’s full on, “I’m not like other girls” and it’s like girl you bring nothing to the table and there’s no need to be looking down on girls and the methods they are restricted to. She likes martial arts, so that’s the only valuable thing to her but like apart from contrived instances by the author, there’s no point to her knowing martial arts and thinking she’s better than other because of it. As all she does is lounge about enjoying the life her husband created, she is not an asset.

Not just that, she doesn’t even have the art of speaking or being even a quarter as aware of everything as ML is and therefore at comes across as wilfully and hopelessly dumb. She’s basically a shade of dumb angry jock. So the ML lead simping for her makes no sense. Although the little bit we see of her in the prologue is better than what she ends up being like in the novel, wish that Yan Yan was fleshed out.

———————-

The mother is so dumb and infatuated that your blood pressure will go insanely high when reading the first chunk of the novel and make you wonder if she was enchanted by a spell or dropped on her head as a kid. This woman took away her children’s childhoods, forcing them to grow up fast, put her old parents in turmoil and to an extent never learns, even when she “wakes up”, she still acts like a fool and honestly it would have been better to have her deceased like the other moms in other novels. She is truly insufferable.

———————-

The father character is complicated and not really a villain and certainly not bad enough to deserve the perverse “punishment” the author metes to him. TW for SA.
Spoiler

I am utterly disgusted by the father having r*pe used as a form of punishment for his negligent attitude towards his family. The more you read the novel and how the leads themselves behave, plus the “good guys” and winners of the book and the villain who he is held by, the more you pity his character.

I wanted him to face the consequences of his insecurities that led him to make incorrect decisions about his household and his career, yet he’s instead r*ped, forced to let his rapist continue to r*pe him, then “saved” by his rapist and forced to live with him. This man is utterly destroyed because a dude is into him and wants him and because he made some dumb decisions and the author laughs at it and makes it seem like a fun CEO plot. It’s actually really devastating because unlike some of what our leads do, especially the FL, you actually understand his initial grievances and plans. The author also adds two scenes, one when he’s about to be r*ped and one later, whereby you realise this man actually loved his foolish wife but he never let himself feel it or understand. Even his concubine was never loved or respected by him, in the way he cared for his wife, which is partly what led that jealous idiot to bring about her downfall. It was never all fake but it was rooted in too many deceptions to ever have a happy ending, heck I’d love to read a novel where Yan Ting is the one reborn and can live his life properly with his wife this time. Author also decides at one point to have the father as a r*pe victim, lash out at his wife by almost raping her. They also decide that after having forced by the narrative to love with his rapist in secret for years, it was cute to have a moment of him Stockholm step up to save him and then have that vicious and vice scum XXR tell him that even in his next life he won’t let him go. Really freaking disgusting to read, especially if you’ve ever been SA in anyway and / or been a victim of DV and been unable to leave.

[collapse]

———————-

Don’t get invested in side characters, as author shows glimpses of interesting things happening such as the insanity surrounding the concubine sister of the FL but then it never goes anywhere. Same goes for many plot points, you’re constantly left by the author with this line-

“However, this was something for the future and won’t be mentioned for now.”

Seriously at one point I thought I was re-reading be same chapter because of how frequently this line came up. Quite irritating and wouldn’t be as annoying as it is, if the focus had been more on the lead couple in a non-repetitive way and personalities / characterisations had been developed well.

Genuinely wouldn’t recommend this novel, there’s only so much time we have in life and it’s pointless to waste it on something like this, that was a good idea, had some good set ups but then becomes a half boring and half infuriating mess. Two stars for the good translation, the few laughs fatty luo brought to us and the potential this novel had. <<less

Quite an enjoyable read, not heavy, not too long. FL is strong in martial art while ML is the schemer. It doesn't have much suspense, mostly because author keeps spoiling ahead.

I like this novel because FL can afford to be unordinary and basically do whatever she wants due to her privileges.

ML is... let's say some parts are really better be left out.

... more>>
Spoiler

Such example is the wet dream part, which is really creepy, considering the mental age of ML and current age of FL.

[collapse]

The yaoi side story is also not my cup of tea. Toward the end, the story is said to overlap with the novel Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid. I skipped that part a lot.

Spoiler

Based on ML character, he's absolutely not going to to be the emperor. I believe he is the biggest winner though.

The overlap kinda ruined my mood. Based on the other novel description, it's an "ordinary girl" coupled with "powerful boy" kind of story. The kind I hope can be filtered out from my reading recommendations.

It was so-so. The fluff is good and the story agreeable when in FL perspective. The ML is not bad per se but his overall presentation and mannerism is a bit hard to swallow. The beginning was great but the quality of the story decline as you keep reading. But it's readable and entertaining enough.

Boring. Lack of any real dialogue. A chunk of the story is recapping this and that happened. We're told "oh he's so crafty" but given vague details. I find the ml, while devoted to fl, gross that he gropes her all the time once they get engaged. She initially wants to push him away but uses his bulk to subdue her. Literally wanted to puke when I read that.

A childhood friend all of the sudden touching and kissing you without consent but because he's shameless and silly is suppose to... more>> be ok? I know it's suppose to be a "funny" trait of his but I found it revolting. Looking at a 10 year old lecherously strikes a bad chord in me.

I also find it hard to believe such a shrewd business woman (mom) can be so naive. Somehow with everyone robbing her blind she still manages to grow her wealth? Unbelievable. Honestly when they explain that FL is bad with words and hard with her fists I though author was talking about herself. She beats it into us that ML is soooo smart, FL is soooo strong, but eventually she is like any other boudoir woman. Husband doesn't tell her anything. Just sit and wait for him to return. "Oh just leave it to me blah blah" and then he magically solves it for Fl. No idea what he did but plot armor is strong. Very much like "accept it and move on" type of storytelling.

Thought they'd be a team, a power couple but no just another bland story that junked all it's potential.

Very mediocre writing style. I didn't realize this was same author as the counter attack of canon fodder, which also annoyed me with the lackluster story telling. I would have preferred more effort went into the story than those long authors notes, spoilers etc. If a story was well written we wouldn't need those explanations. Honestly anyone could have written this story. Very generic and vague. Being a shameless fatty seemed to be the main trait. Very little characteristics beyond that.

Infuriating, as the idea was good, actual execution was very poor. I was looking forward to this non mainstream couple but I was irritated at the end. Just feel like it was lazy of the author. In the same genre as bargain bin paperbacks you find in the clearance section of a grocery store. Nothing wrong with it if that's what you like. For me it was a waste of time. Would not recommend. <<less

The story is quite good. I read almost 200 novels as of now and must say this is my first novel where New Year was mentioned so frequently that I was fed up with it (Just my musings😂). Didn't read Chambermaid yet. Hope it doesn't have many new years 🤣.

Good read. Recommended.

Personally, this novel gets a 4.5 out of 5 from me, but I'm rounding it up to 5 to improve the average score.

Characters: It's easier to consider this story as having two protagonists, Yan Yan, the Duke Zhenguo's grandaughter, and Luo Huai Yuan, the Fourth Prince. Rather than an MC and ML, their roles are more balanced since the perspectives switch between them both. Character-wise, I'm giving this novel a 5/5 score, because the people in them feel so real and interesting. Prince Luo ("Fatty Luo") certainly isn't your standard... more>> handsome-as-jade male lead—he's overweight for most of the story. He's genuinely a friendly guy, but he purposefully acts the fool to hide his cunning. Yan Yan fails at most of the elegant womanly arts and chose to pick up martial arts, at that, and is unabashedly courageous. Interestingly, the reborn character is the Prince here, not Yan Yan.

From the first few chapters, I already know that the lowest score I could give would be three stars, simply from how different and unexpected the ML is.

This novel flies miles above similar historical ones in the depth of its supporting characters. There are s*upid people, evil people, and s*upid evil people like in many c-novels. At some point, you get tired seeing too many cannon fodders hurtling themselves into su*cide-via-main-character, though. Here, the supporting characters use their brains. In real life, most people aren't that blind once the power difference become quite great and insurmountable, and they will actually back off. This is rare in a c-novel, and yet you actually see it here. Many of the villains/obstacles have sympathetic backgrounds—even if you don't agree with them, you know where they come from.

Plot: Roughly speaking, the first half of the story involves Yan Yan's attempt to protect her brother in the inner court, what with her having to deal with a pig teammate (her muddleheaded mother). On Luo Huai Yuan's side, he's trying to stand on his own two feet away from the palace. The second half involves when the couple are married and now they're trying to create backup plans in order not to get dragged into the fight for the throne.

Historical Setting: The author takes a very realistic approach to aspects of historical culture in the story. For example, what happens when a young unmarried shu-girl ran away from home and couldn't be found after more than a week? And her household still has other girls of her generation that needs to marry? Her family begins thinking about the marriageability of her sisters/cousins and declare her dead. If she was found in a brothel later, they can just say she was a lookalike. Harsh, but it was better than risking gossip/exposure to cause all the other girls in the family to be unable to marry.

Also, it takes someone who had seen historical records or something like it to read between the lines of the kingdoms' political sentiment. Like Ancient Rome, not-so-sedentary tribes beyond the borders of the empire is considered barbarians. They are not saying that the barbarians are bad people, just not as civilised. Same with most foreigners. If you think this is xenophobic, well, this sort of attitude can be easily seen in many established kingdoms across world history.

Plot-related complaints about pirates from Fusang (analogous to parts of Japan) is also something I feel would reflect the attitudes of the people in the world. It's the same way that I wouldn't blink about tirades against Barbary Pirates in novels set in the western world's Age of Sail, for one. I don't suddenly jump into the conclusion that the writer is somehow inserting anti-Japanese propaganda. Every character sees things through their own biases, and that is reflected when they speak too.

Look, if you expect the empire/kingdom's attitude to be 90% cosmopolitan to other people outside it like in the modern era, it might be hard to read the second half of the story.

TL;DR: Chubby Prince wakes up as a ten year old once more after he and his consort gets burned to death in their manor. He swears he'll love his wife better this time and give them a better ending. This is his third life already, since before he was a prince, he remembered his life in modern earth, which becomes the source of his business ideas. The princess consort is a whip-wielding, martial-arts practising young woman with a blunt tongue who has to do the whole inner-courtyard fight at the beginning since her mother was weak.

They fight crime they fight threats against the kingdom and make money while they're at it. <<less

It was a really good read. The plot isn't rushed or too slow, the pacing was just right.

The characters have depth and the plot is well thought out, while the ML has some annoying sides to him he's very sweet and thoughtful. The FL is a bit too gullible at times but it doesn't stick out too much. I loved her unyielding ways gotta admit that. The growth of some characters that were shown as annoying at first was also very well done and realistic. The story itself is definitely... more>> a 4* but bcs of one of the things bellow I gave it a 3*

Loved the fact
Spoiler

she actually rejected him at first and the fact that the love she has is the kind that comes with familiarity, while the one he feels is obviously based off acknowledgment, awe, respect and desire

[collapse]
. Also loved the way it's shown how claiming to love doesn't absolve you of what you've done, and that love can not be without action and consideration or it's just self satisfaction. And that it isn't exclusive to romantic relationship but is especially relevant in parent child relationships.

Now on to the bothersome bits. For starters
Spoiler

the wolves. That is not how wolves act like wtf, you

[collapse]
like, please don't do tis to me. I shaved off one star because of that like legit.

After that comes the very very very obvious racism to tribal groups in China, a lot more in your face than usual. Coupled with racism to japan and a few other places, and a nationalist angle which is not surprising considering. I'm put off by the whole 'country is god' narrative and the 'to disobey is to betray' rhetoric.

Spoiler

The way ppl reacted to the fact daddy was sharing warmth with a dude was kinda off brand for ye olden China

[collapse]

Ughh also the whole 'u get vicious if u in the meat business' like, no? Also butchers and people who keep animal farms with the purpose of selling them for meat are different professions and it definitely does not make you cruel? Working in mass produce factories nowadays is different and can make you depressed and all, because the way it's run is terrible and dismissive of both animals and people working there.

Their wedding night too like, made kind of 0 sense and was in the minus IQ category.

Oh right there's also the whole mother's milk thing, like, it don't rlly matter which woman is feeding the baby tbo, the milk will adjust to the baby that's suckling on the nipple, it doesn't actually matter if the one feeding it didn't give birth to it.

Other than those there were a few things I wanted more of, like
Spoiler

the concubine sister and her life, the pirate wed cousin's story -he wasn't present at all his setting just makes a person curious- also the cousins that vanished after marriage, like they were sorta consistently present in the story till then so I would've liked to see a glimpse of their lives or smth.

[collapse]

I somewhat noticed that when writing reviews I mention a lot more of things that bothered me than things I liked.... It might be because I always write them a day or 2 after I finish reading or that I do actually consciously think 'gotta rmmbr this for the review' and when there's things I like I don't rlly do that.... I'll try to do different on the next one I guess... ------> went and added a few more above this tho it probs don't seem that way..... <<less

Love the story!!! It very well written. The story divided by two main focus, first FL story and how she overcome her difficulties with ML help, and then the rest of the story focusing on ML.

FL is strong, smart, beauty and dignify. ML is the one who transmigrated and reincarnated so this is his third life.

And in this life he finally fullfil his promise.

... more>> The author describe the whole family situation and the intrigue inside, very well written!! Overall this story worth 5 star.

Translator PCP also very good on bringing this story and translate it nice and smooth to read. Kudos for PCP!!

I also read the counterattack canon fodder chambermaid first before this, between two princes, I like little fatty Luo more!!!! (人*´∀`) 。*゚+ <<less

The story even barely start yet everything has already so hard, felt like bouncing a steel on the rock.

The villain isn't even that great yet the FL temper and the pig teammates really made it an aghast story.

The story isn't bad at all but the character just not on my "konomi"

But the translation are good 👍

* Re-review

I won't edit my last review but just add a little bit after finished screening the books. The story is definitely good, and I give it 5 ⭐ for the rating. The FL, Her character is refreshing though, to have a fierce and domineering FL is sure a satisfying. And please remember she ain't someone with super power or anything like that, her only advantage is her marital family power. She is a child that fight through and adult scemming, it's naturally hard for her to retaliate even more with her fierce temper. Her character development are really nice and satisfying, her actions came from reckless to calculating, she is extremely smart too, however I still don't quite like the FL set of character though.

The 20 or so early chapter is really depressing, but after you go through that everything will be smoothened. I myself can't believe this is a light plot despite the so gore opening.

The ML and FL have their own perspective and story also both are the MC in this novel, both have a big role for the plot that can stand on its own. The ML are hilarious, fatty luo lol. Smart brat.

FL

Spoiler

FL is a smart girl, I do think she is actually really smart, hence why she always winning on a banter and able to see through some adult thought when she is a child. She is brave and decisive. However she is indeed weak in hidden schemes, I think mostly it's happen because she is not very keen for that kind of backhanded thing and just don't even bother to learn nor mind it.

[collapse]

ML

Spoiler

ML is transmigrator or reincarnator. I love how the author make him as someone unperfect even though he is a prince. His characters are really refreshing. He mostly use his time to gain money and power for himself and his little consort. I just realized though, I think this story is corelated with other story I have read, but I forgot. Those with the mute prince. From this story point of view we see more of the palace internal politics that I personally unable to see in the previous story.

[collapse]

Mother

Spoiler

her character is infuriating, even more than the father one. She start as a very very annoying character for me. Although her character develope on the nice track, it still doesn't fade out completely and still able to anger me through the end. I agree that for some point instead of her able to see everything in good light, she just refused to see the truth. She is trapped in her delusionary world and reject everything thats not compatible with her world, glad she is at least Willing to open her eyes.

[collapse]

Father

Spoiler

now, he is a very sad character. He is bad but also not that bad actually. Yes he is sumbang but a least he had a decent affection and attitude towards others too, especially his parents. He is smart but unable to use his brain on the right place and getting tossed here and there. If only there is someone who guide him properly, I do think he will not go that far. But yeah he just made a wrong choice on the wrong time. I see his shadow on his son too, Ya Hong. Whenever I see this two characters I just felt really really sad for them.

[collapse]

I recommend this story, don't be trapped by the Early chapter, you haven't even taste any filling by that, and I'm going to start reading throughly again.

Really liked it! My only issue was the chapters that were basically repetitions of what happened on Counterattack of the cannonfodder Chambermaid. If you haven't read that one before, they are necessary chapters, but if you have, they're skippable. Other than that, good writing, likeable characters, had fun reading.

The first 1/3 or half of the novel was background heavy. The author took the time to build the background and base of the character's (FL's) family. This helps with explaining FL's character and background, but it also means that we barely see FL or ML much at the start. So if you expect quick and sweet romance from the get-go, you're not going to get that here.

Author's notes are actually pretty funny and interesting, almost more so than the story at the initial phase. Lol.

The story on a whole... more>> is more on the family / (rear) court struggles, and royal struggles in the second half, with very little on the romance between FL and ML. So if you're here for ancient china melodramatic (dogblood) family drama, this novel is for you. Else, this novel is going to be draggy and long-winded. <<less

Be warned, it's not filled with fluff. However, it is light and uncomplicated, without angst as well. Of course, there is fluff, it's just not the focal point of the novel.

Shameless ML conquering our innocent and honest FL. In between, there's drama about both leads' problems and how they overcome it.

I went in looking for 100% diabetes and fluff in a romance novel, yet I couldn't stop reading this even though that part was a bit lacking. Not a single lull or boring moment throughout the journey. No unnecessary prolongation... more>> of issues, plentiful satisfying face-slaps and heartwarming moments.

Translation is amazing. Top tier 10/10 no joke, no brown nosing.

P/S: try to ignore author's note, he likes to put in spoilers. <<less

I happened to read this before reading the 1st book, Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid and was pleasantly surprised. It is a typical scheming book but the FMC doesn't play by the rules, aside from the initial ~11 chapters which leaves a bad taste in your mouth due to her being bullied by everyone even her mum, the FMC never takes sh*t from anyone thereafter. She has a strong background and strong martial arts so usually the FMC will suppress anyone she doesn't like and it's great.

The Male MC... more>> is also quite good he's realistically trying to make the best of a bad situation and as someone from the modern world has a decent amount of smarts which give him a good golden finger. The Male MC isn't a hottie or anything he's just incredibly sincere and always considers the FMC first, overall a great match with our FMC.

Plot wise there are schemes, there are evil women, two faced families and a decent portrayal of life in the era without getting too bogged down in the boring traditional stuff. A great read to pass the time and I look forward to the other books in the shared universe. <<less

This is worth it! If you ever feel like putting down this novel from reading the first 20 chapters, please continue and you will have more satisfying chapters later on. This one is pretty long despite only having 180 chapters (yes that is short in CNovel standards) due to long chapters. You will follow the childhood to adulthood of our MC and the intricacies of aristocratic families. It is realistic and the characters are not without shortcomings which made the story more charming. Favorite character development is ... more>>

This one made it to my Piqued list.

Set in the same universe as Counterattack of Chambermaid Cannon Fodder with overlaps of some events & cameos by the main characters. I read Chambermaid first but found myself liking Lofty Consort better. And surprise, surprise the main reason for this is actually the shameless male lead, Luo Huai Yuan instead of the titular lofty, noble & strong female lead Yan Yan. Luo Huai Yuan is a delight to read about. He is a transmigrator & a regressor but you can feel his... more>> helplessness in a world where he has no power or solid backing. He schemes not for revenge but to fulfill his promise to his consort. He knows his limits & not once did he have any thoughts about the throne. His only thoughts revolve around Yan Yan, ensuring her happiness & safety.

I'd love to read more about his antics & how people around him view him. Among all the josei novels I've read, Luo Huai Yuan is the male lead I'd love to know & read more about. <<less

Amazing novel ! Definetely need to be hyped up.

Lots of great face slapping and seems to be quite historically/realistically accurate. Of course, with schemes and conspiracies, as well as silver tongued characters.

Relationship between FL and ML is super cute and sweet with loads of pampering. And lots of fun too, especially with a reincarnated ML from modern times with a great sense of humour. And with no side concubine !! Which I love.

... more>> Happy and satisfying ending.

At first I was scared it would be similar to counteract of chamber maid (other novel by author) but although I haven't read it, it doesn't seem to have the same amount of blood drama, but is more light. It has a good balance of drama (to not be bored) and sweetness, if you have a soft heart like me, this will be perfect.

Overall, very enjoyable read ! <<less
