Description

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

Lin Wei Xi found out after she died that she was just a cannon fodder in a novel, used as contrast to the gentle and considerate and virtuous female lead.

The male lead was her ex-husband, the dignified heir of Yan Wang, his family were superior and brilliant, but the female lead was not her.

The female lead was her concubine-born younger sister, and her husband’s white moonlight, his cinnabar mole, no wonder! After Lin Wei Xi died, her husband finally married her sister as he wished.

She watched coldly at the two like honey in the oil, in love and harmonious, everyone using the success of her younger sister to contrast the impropriety of the original wife.

Lin Wei Xi sneered, okay, since your love moves the world, then this sister will come back and be your stepmother!

So she married her ex-husband’s father, the father-in-law she never met in the previous life, the country’s God of war, who has not remarried after losing his wife, the one that hold military power, the brilliant Yan Wang.

Later Yan Wang, who was in his prime years and used to act decisively, looked at his small, delicate, much younger wife, and had a headache.

No matter, she is still young, he have to spoil her, indulge her, teach her.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this novel yet but again what can I say it was just good lol

one of the best reincarnation novels out there. It was very mild but very interesting and refreshing.

the romance is so cute light and fluffy.

... more>> the MC is smart but human very well fleshed out and the ML just changed my type altogether lol

the side characters are nice, not spectacular but nice

if you're looking for something you'd binge read and then feel a sense of loss once you're done but you're still happy because the ending is just so satisfying, read this one

The translation quality is amazing 10/10 <<less

the story itself is pretty good, but like other chinese novels, why should you describe the FL ethereal beauty which out of this world almost in every other chapter!!! we know the FL is very beautiful, magnificient, ethereal beauty, yadaaa yadaa.. it's good to read it at first, but if you always bring the beauty in almost every scene... well, at least I get tired. but of it is your preference to read from author who describe FL's beauty all the time, then this novel is definitely for you

So preface this by saying I'm reading moonfish jellyfish's translation as the other ones were so confusing. Its great I was so sad to see the chapters hadn't matched up to the other translations as it stopped at c42. The MC isn't OP'd or a white lotus she's intelligent funny and a very much petty. For me she's a break from the norm in these transmigration stories. I'm also slowly becoming obsessed with the ML. In other words I am hooked. Can't wait to see where this story goes.

Update. I... more>> finished it. I really liked it I even liked how GCY was unresolved no unrealistic happy ending for someone who was actually quite a bad person. Very happy with the level of miscommunication compared to other transmigration novels some times it gets ridiculous and I also love the ML not some pretentious holier than thou he seems stead fast and just worthy of her efforts definitely recommend <<less

Moon Jellyfish's translation is really excellent. It makes reading very smooth and easy.

I dont think the story is particularly special, but if you're into second-chance stories of this genre it's good enough, and with this translation it's even more enjoyable.

This is an ok read. I like the realism of their character, I like how the author keep the MC personality just like before the rebirth because no one would be able to suddenly change their personality overnight and she's only 16 yrs old

She's a prideful di daughter, self centered, but also hard working, all her effort was done because she doesn't want to lose to her shu sister but it's also because her father and grandmother dotes on her shu sister more and don't forget the fact that the... more>> shu mother and son were the reason for her mother death, also she's growing up without a mother to teach her how to be a good wife so what do you expect

As for the ML he's a good person but also not. He tried to get along with his first wife that's why they have a son but she's just plain crazy, his mother also tried to teach the child so that he will grow up to be sensible but the daughter in law is just too delusional thinking she's an evil mother in law to the point she just stop trying. He know what he did wrong leaving the child alone with that kind of mother and the scheming s*aves but he doesn't really try to mend the relationship, then again the son is already old, it's hard to correct ones character when they are already that old unless they realized it them self

I don't feel bad for the son at all, I think he is just as bad as the other, he is selfish, self-entitled, he's just s*upid to trust one's word without searching for evidence. He doesn't even try to talk it out even when the MC seek him out. He's just as delusional as his mother, even dare to have thought about his now mother

As for that shu sister, she's just a villain. She looks down on everyone just bc she is transmigrated from the future, a 30 years old adult trying to destroy a 6 year old child future. She always think that she's some heroine from a romance novel and scheming at every possible chance. It is okay for her to schemes against other but when other schemes against her, she feel like they are deliberately making it hard for her. Even in the end of her life she never realized her wrongdoing

The MC really doesn't try to make trouble when she come to the mansion. Honestly I don't think she would ever marry the ML if it's not because GR trying to marry Her off. Even when the MC enter the house and become her mother in law, she doesnt deliberately making it hard for anyone bc she never thought of revenge, but she also doesn't let them get away with their behavior

The relationship between MC and ML is also very interesting. It's not the fast paced relationship but you could see how they slowly overcome their insecurities and trust issues and in the end they could accept each other wholly

This is just how I see them and I somehow understand where they come from and why they become like that. Of course there is time where I dislike the MC and ML characters but I'm kind of satisfied with the story progress and how it ends

There is many misunderstanding in this story just because of the lack of conversation and prejudice. The pride of men is really scary, just because the little suspicion they have and words others said thay can really let a person die just like that. Unwilling to search for evidence and only listen to the claim from other. I wonder how they even become an official with that kind of pig brain, I also wonder how that country did not come to ruin <<less

I would rate it 3.8⭐. Story is good and plot is not too deep and less drama. MC is kinda annoying to me. Her stubborn temperament sometimes got too overboard. ML is a perfect husband material for an ancient man.

... more>>
Spoiler

But I really didn't like how he didn't clarified about his 1st wife to other b*tches who thought he loves his 1st wife deeply. Many time MC was provoked by them for this reason but ML never said anything in the public about this matter. I can understand his reasoning for his silence but still I hoped he would speak up.

[collapse]

Mc's sister aka the villain of this book is the dumbest, most s*upid, egocentric and narcissistic person I've ever read.

I wish there was more lovey-dovey scene between the main couple. Overall 3.8 star for me. <<less

I personally enjoyed the story line. It was face-slapping story in a sense, but at the same time not completely so. I think it's more correct to say this story tells us about our decision in life, and also that second chance don't happen to everyone. Both Gao Xi and Gao Ran in a way, had second chance. Gao Xi through rebirth and Gao Ran through transmigration. GR case counted as second chance jmo because it's a second chance for her to restart her life albeit somewhere else. We choose... more>> the way our life goes. Fate and luck is one thing, being able to recognise and cherish them is another. I like how the storyline isn't too slow yet isn't too fast paced. It's just right for me.

Also, I really wanna say thank you to both writer and translator. The translator mentioned she was not proficient in English thus she only edited MTL version of the novel. When I was reading, I couldn't tell it was MTL, so good job in that. <<less

I really love this novel it gives us the perspective on the people living together with a transmigrator. How unfair it would be if a 26 years old mind compete with a 6 years old MC. The MC has work harder than anyone else in order to close the gap between her and her transmigrator sister, MC work hard to improve her self, to surpass her sister and constantly pressured herself. While the transmigrator use her modern and 26 years old mind to harm people and conspired in order to... more>> achieve her goal. Transmigrator use modern knowledge in order to create something which is already present in modern era and say it was her idea <<less

I like it but is it an exciting read, no it's not. The way it was written feels like how a slice of life genre was written, a bit on the boring side but you understand why each character acts the way they act. There was an emphasis on the character's age and how they were raised. My issue with the novel is, it doesnt have a climax...

i wanna say that im kinda glad that I finally read this coz the title seems a lil too much and complicated but its not. When I first saw I was like hmm eh it looked lyk a rom novel btw a 15 nd 50 yr couple but the FL is 17 nd ML is 33 even tho he is literally double her age and he has a son of her age, I was not too uncomfy and mentally considered as 20 nd him as 30 but its so weird... more>> and shocking for me whenever I read stories lyk this, I ship the couple and want them to be together but I reallly am super against child marrige and stuff nd the ML aka wan yang had a child when he was 16yrs old.... like wow..... like wtf anyways abt the story- overall it was a great story, I really love transmigrator, reborn, face slapping kinda novels so this novel was really entertaining and fun. The FL is really likeable unlike other fls who r super smart (this story FL is but only becoz she works super hard too), super good at everything, super clingy and possessive nd etcerta. yea yea the novel exaggerates her beauty a lil tho... This story really shows the third person pov of view and how irl its unfair, shameless and unreasonable. The most I like abt the story is the plot is not too much as in the revenge and everything actually seemed realistic and possible (unlike other stories involving poison, assassins and all), even tho its not revenge-seeking but loved how the FL clapped whatever was thrown at her. The villain transmigrator getting exposed on her own was so satisfying. the ending was also good, kinda felt a bit bad for the ML son as he was fooled by the fairy tale love story loves indulged in him my this mother and the villain transmigrator ingrate lie he was really happy to be with her yea at first only coz he thought they were trully destined and that he possible fell in love secretly. but he hated her becoz ''they were not trully destined'' was sad and annoying. I was a bit ugh and no bro no when he was falling in love with his mother even tho he imagined her as his dead first wife. nevertheless he deservered it for his ignorance, inndifference and immature foolish beha/viour. The malicious characters down falls were really awesome.

I give this story a solid 8/10

EDIT: honestly the third extra abt wan yang was quite justifiable and I really can't understand why ppl hated him for it tho like yea sure he left her on purpose while she was pregnant but also because he went for the relief and plague he escaped the feud btw the young emperor and the first assissant even tho he went ''cowardly'' to avoid her, he did come back in time and realised his mistake and gathered his thoughts and didnt tell her anything about finding her real identity and decided that he just wanted to be happy with her. I really wanna know how he came to the conclusion that lin wei xi is not lin wei xi but gao xi who is his sons dead first wife coz he never meet her in real life before when FL was in her body only, guess thats a loop. lyk its reasonable and plausible if he finds that its not her in real but also how.... ugh in way the 3rd extra makes no sense and it would ve been better if he actually never found out.

Lin Wei Xi and Yan Wang are absolutely adorable together, and her vengeance is as delightful as it is sensible.

With regards to Yan Wang:

... more>>
Spoiler

I found especially moving the fact that Yan Wang knew Lin Wei Xi was not who she said she was (and maybe even suspected she was Gao Xi) by the time of the proposal and yet it didn't change a thing. She needed someone to care for her, and he wanted to be that someone.

[collapse]

With regards to the ex/stepson:

Spoiler

I get why he acts the way he does now, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he basically mu*dered Gao Xi via spite, naivete and self-centeredness. He's a massive piece of shit.

So, this is GOOD.

The face-slapping is a little later in the story but still very good. MC and ML are both very smart, it's too bad the apple falls far from the tree. It turns out the son of the great general MC has very low EQ and IQ

Overall: a good story, fast reading, quite interesting plot

Translation: 4/5 good and helpful notes, smooth. Minus points for grammar errors (e.g. Missing verbs) that slightly annoy the reader.

Plot (spoiler alert) :

... more>> + transmigrator vs reincarnator

+FL can rationally pursue her new life (although it still includes interest and worry about things and people related to the old life, it is not full of bloody revenge)

+ no bloody face-slapping. Simply karma and consequences of people actions

+ realistic depiction of transmigrators from modern times (not all op, not a saint)

+ has some fluff (I love most of relations between the main couple)

- the ending when
Spoiler

the ML knows but runs away. And in the end they never talk about it (which is not something the FL would leave hanging looking at her behaviorl

[collapse]

- poor son/exML. He deserves it, but I wish him more luck in the future (most of it is due to his upbringing and mother's brainwashing. Nobody would remain normal. Still, it doesn't justify his actions. Life is not black and white) <<less

I love this book so much and I greatly appreciated the relationship between the main couple! It has the right amount of sweetness and drama, perfectly captures how a couple doesn't need to be overly affectionate but still can be toothachingly sweet! I'm so satisfied!

Love reading this heartwarming and kind of funny novel.

Love reading the relationship between Gu Hui Yan and Lin Wei Xi. "They're 2 strangers brought together by fate". It started as mutual respect & understanding and finally, it materialized to love.

Gu Hui Yan is a cold ancient man. He has never fallen in love with any women until Lin Wei Xi appears in his life. Once he falls in love, he falls in love hard and he has a great caring personality towards her.
Lin Wei Xi is a sassy independent woman, yet she's immature when interacting with Gu Hui Yan. Their personalities and background are different, yet, their age gap has no bearing in their daily interaction and relationship.

Though I hate reading the scheming in this story, on the other hand, it strengthens the bond and love between Gu Hui Yan and Lin Wei Xi.

What a journey... This Novel is Absolutely Wonderful!!!

It wasn't Perfect, but it definitely has Perfect and Satisfying Ending!

The MC was Wonderful! After she get the second chance she never expected, she immediately try to be free. She wasn't Reckless, but she does have moment to want to rush thing. She has moment of being impulsive, but in not annoying way. She's pretty smart. Especially because she won't let people trick her anymore like in the previous life. She's not perfect, but she's perfect the way she is!

And so is ML.... more>> ML is Absolutely Wonderful Husband Ever! He always siding with MC, but not because Marriage Image or Unconditional reason, but because he know her character and personality, and because he's SMART! He's not perfect though. If not for his subordinate suggesting him to be honest about the past to clear any doubt or misunderstanding, the relationship between him and MC probably would always has Shaky Foundation.

What also made this novel rather different from other is the step by step of Faceslapping moments. Every 'good' moment feels like one slap at times. But the Big Villain is only One while others was small fry.

But the Final moment is Absolutely Great! And the Ending is Perfectly Satisfying because MC and ML has no secret between each other and that made me sooooooo Glad!!! And I actually Absolutely Did NOT Expect That!

It wasn't as Romantic as I Hope or Expected, but the Sweet moments is Sweet and when Tender is Tender! I don't remember them kissing each other though.... 🤔 but they do hugging and cuddling.

Anyway I Love this Novel! <<less
