Very mellow story. Though its a cliche novel. Its still a good read. Chapter length are not long but not short

MTL: 2.5-3☆ (35-40% understandable. There's a few names/phrases that just doesnt translate well in MTL, but still readable)

... more>>
Spoiler

MC died in a plane crash (?) And transmigrated into a young lady's body who's currently being sold by her Di-born sister (daughter of the main wife. MC is in a Shu-born daughter meaning daughter of a concubine)

So yeah, love at first sight for both MC and ML. It was fast love.


ML's family is just plain wicked except for the third brother who gets along well with MC and ML, who is also being mistreated like ML. Honestly, ML's mother is just super irrational. There's just so much drama with this family ugh.

Dont get me started on the ex-'fiance' of ML. This just makes me sick. I dont pity her at all. I wish MC couldve reacted more on this. I almost wanted her to just pack up her kid and move on. ML can just go f*ck himself. This is just straight up being irresponsible and disrespectful on so many levels to MC. Dont say you feel bad for the ex-fiance and her family, his softheartedness is making his WIFE who is 5 months pregnant with his child, who just gave birth to his eldest child 10 months ago, very very uncomfortable. He felt bad for the ex-fiance and co. But doesnt feel bad for HIS WIFE. This is just b*llsh*t. I mean, MC battled against your family for you, help you make a living, but you cant even battle against your ex-fiance, you cant even protect her? F*ck. I hate it so much I wanted to drop the novel. If not for my curiosity on how MC's brother will find her, I have no reason to continue here. (And yea, im so fed up with the b*llsh*t ML pulled that I tried to skip chapters to see if MC and brother will meet again and when I confirmed, only then did I calmed down and reread from chapter 'MC-Almost-Miscarriage' ithink thats c119)

I would really REALLY like one of those cold, aloof, to-MC-only-cute-and-soft type of ML here. MC deserved someone better. She's from affluent family, she's kind and capable, she's got this loving and influencial brother, seriously, I want her to divorce him.


ML, MC, Third brother's family build their business together along with the aunt of ML who he grew up with.

MC's brother is a sis-con ❤❤❤ He's my favorite character here.

If I were to obtain such a happy and simple but comfortable life with a bear like husband who acts more like a giant puppy, I'd be more than happy to forget the fact that I was exchanged with a pig too! 😂👍

This novel kept me entertained although I did get frustrated a lot with ML's disgusting family which consists of: a lazy and gambling addicted first brother and his shameless wife, a sister who frequently bums off food from her natal family, wastrel youngest brother who can't accept the fact that he's a dumb idiot aaaand of course we can't forget the parents! I lost count how many times I screamed at the dad to grow some balls already or wished for the evil shrew mother to drop dead coz boyyyy she was like top tier bıtch! Which is why her ending left me very, very satisfied.
Spoiler

Her 2 favorite sons (the eldest and youngest) were unwilling to get drafted to go to war so they formed a wicked plan to get out of that situation which is to deliberately stimulate their mom who just recently had a stroke. These 2 white eyed wolves, along with their wives, forced their mother to die so they can get exempted and avoid going to the battlefield coz they have to observe mourning period as filial piety. Talk about sickening! I wonder if their mom was beating her chest in regret in the afterlife knowing that her 2 spoiled and precious sons intentionally killed her? Tsk tsk. Good thing Tiezhu and his 3rd brother Tiegen separated from this shıtty family early on!

[collapse]

The sick ex-fiancee Tian Cuilan arc: I actually didn't feel that angry at Tiezhu in how he handled the situation.
Spoiler

Tian Cuilan deliberately stopped eating just to make Tiezhu come see her. Her mother then of course kneeled in front of him with many people around so he was forced to do so. Even his paternal aunt who went with him pitied the sick (in the head) Cuilan which made them go back a couple more times just so the scheming bıtch would not starve herself to death again. Tiezhu finally stopped giving a shıt when Wanwan almost miscarried. Tiezhu basically told the Tians to get lost and let their daughter die if she wants to, coz that crazy wench ain't his problem. About fckng time 👏👏

[collapse]

I mean I get that him being not resolute enough to stop seeing that darn Cuilan after the first visit was an insensitive move and he was slow to notice that he's unintentionally harming his wife's health but what do you expect from a simple man who doesn't have a single bad bone on his body? Scheming, malice and stuff like that is foreign to him unless his wife spelled it out for him lol. He did redeem himself though and learned his lesson the hard way and he realize that being kind hearted shouldn't be extended to just anybody. I laughed when he said:
Spoiler

"I leared that I shouldn't underestimate women, shouldn't underestimate others' scheming because not everyone is as good as my wife Wanwan." Got that right!

Sooo, delulu woman's family finally got tired of her fake suicidal act and got her married off far away to an old widower. 👋

[collapse]

As for Lin Qinglan, the di sister who sold Wanwan off, I feel like her ending was acceptable enough although if you ask me, she should've gotten a slap or two or a dozen back to back to back slapfest instead of Wanwan's "forget but not forgive".
Spoiler

Qinglan's MIL confined her at home, withdrew her power in managing the household and gave it to her husband's concubine instead. Then her mother who was her co-conspirator in selling Wanwan off was sent by her father to some faraway village, never to be seen and heard ever again.

[collapse]

Qinglan comparing her life to Wanwan even after so many years was the best revenge for me. Yes, Wanwan's social status is lower than hers. Yes, her husband although doesn't love her and has many concubines but has a high rank. BUT! Who's actually happier between the 2 of them? Wanwan's the one who's being cherished and deeply loved by her husband and Tiezhu only has her in his eyes. That alone makes Wanwan a winner in life.

Sweet slice of life.

By the way, how the girls, Lin Qing Wan and Xiao Hua, meet again is described in Xiao Hua's book, Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid (mega spoilers) :

... more>>
Spoiler

"When the Jing Emperor came back from the royal study for lunch, he had told her (Xiao Hua) a story.

This story was rather complicated. It was about a concubine's daughter being sold out of the capital by the evil principal wife.

If nothing was out of the ordinary, that girl would have lived out her life in a remote countryside. Unfortunately, this girl had a capable older brother. He had risen up in ranks rapidly, and spent countless efforts to find his younger sister.

At that time, she had already married and given birth to children. She had married a local farmer and given birth to two sons. The brother could only accept this low-born brother-in-law of his, and bring them both back to the capital.

Of course, that principal wife didn't have a good outcome. Because the events ended up spreading after the girl returned to the capital, the people all disdained her for her malice and lack of motherly virtue....

The brother in the story was Commander Lin of the Jing Prince Estate. He was now both the Dingyuan Marquis and the commander of the capital guard office, and was His Majesty's trusted aide. As for his sister, she was the girl who was sold out of the capital with Xiao Hua by Trafficker Qian, and given to a farmer as his wife: Lin Qing Wan."

So: Lin Qing Wan's brother finds Lin Qing Wan and brings her and her husband and their children back to the capital to live. Empress Xiao Hua and Lin Qing Wan become best friends and Lin Qing Wan visits the palace regularly and their children (Lin Qing Wan's children and the Empress/Emperor's children) grow up together in the capital and become best friends, and then their children start to get married off too... Lin Qing Wan married a lowly farmer, but her brother is a Marquis and she's the Empress' friend, so her status is high too now. It's in the last few chapters of Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid, which is now completely translated.

Okay, I really liked the story.
Spoiler

The original owner of the body was sold by her step sister to a s*ave trader. She was then bought by ML with the wild boar he hunted. Okay here is now the cliche, I think part. The ml's mom is partial to the 4th son. He is a scholar that wasn't able to pass the exam to be an official. So family treated ML as a money maker since he knows how to hunt and bring fam lots of money that they were able to buy lands and improve their house. But family is ungrateful, they wanna squeeze ML dry. So yada yada I wont actually narrate all the parts. But here are some things. Family had separation so the ML and 3rd brother separated from the main house. Since then they improved their life through the recipe that MC knows, it a sausage recipe. And they went to sell it in restaurants and stuff. Until their business bloomed. They build a house. She got preggy, gave birth to a baby boy. Then she got preggy again, it was still a boy. Then author tries to give plot by putting the ex fiance of ML in the picture. The ex is a barren woman who divorced her husband since yeah she's barren. And you know how chinese are in the ancient times. She was having delusions for ML probably because she was too sad I guess. I mean she didnt think too much of ML when she married her ex husband. That was before they found out she was barren. Girl tries to scheme and yada yada. Then after that part she met her brother that went to the army and didnt return for so long. He became a subordinate of the ahem future king. Business is good, they expanded a lot then bro invited them to the capital. Bro wants them to stay there. MC and ML doesnt want to. Bro got married to a girl he saved. In the end, MC and ML stayed in a mansion in the outskirts of the capital. Then 2 chapters was written for mc's sister in law and brother's perspective. Then done.

[collapse]

Okayy what I like about this story is that it doesnt have angst like dog blood novels. People who love slice of life like me will like it. Also the MC is not that omnipotent. Sure she knows some recipes but thats it. Thats her only golden finger, the food that she knows how to cook.

Okay for the downside part,

You'd think I'd hate the annoying in-laws or some annoying side character in this story but the one I hate most is the ML.

This guy is the most incompetent ML I've ever met. Ofc we have bad ones like straight up incompetent ones in other novels, but those wouldn't make you this mad because the novels are already bad in the first place. This MC is actually a pretty good one, too bad she had the misfortune to marry into this family and this sort of man. The way she... more>> constantly have to remind us that he's a good man makes her sound like she's coping. Almost like an abused victim in denial. Seriously, this author isn't bad at writing but their novels aren't all that great too. They're not well-known for a reason and this is definitely not a case where they're underrated. They deserve only this much attention. <<less

I finally finished all 3 novels in this series. 1. Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid 2. The Lofty Fierce Consort and 3. The Prestigious Family's Young lady and the Farmer. It was a really great ride and I enjoyed all series with immense joy. Each story has it's own flavor and eventhough the 3 story overlaps, there is no redunduncy in the plot.

Unlike the first 2 books, this one has no political intrigue at all. The story focuses on the life in the country and how Qingwan and... more>> the gang got rich before she was found by her brother. Some of the plot kind of reminds me of Fields of Gold, wherein the family was taken advantage of by the matriarch of the family and there is a favoritism with the sons and another son who is studying to be a Xucai. The difference is that the FL, Qingwan has no gold finger at all.
Spoiler

Qingwan was schemed by her sister and was handed to a human trafficker with specific instructions to send her far away and marry her to a mudleg (I supposed that means a poor farmer). She was taken to the market and sold to Yang Tizhue in exchange for a pig and some money.

[collapse]

I supposed she was lucky eventhough she was exchanged for a pig. It was love-at-first-sight for her and the ML. And even though the ML bought her, he tried to give her some dignity and respect by marrying her properly and did not let his family bully her. And she didn't let herself suffer as well. She has a horrible mother-in-law and a yes-man father-in-law, and a lot of lazy bums in the ML's family but her husband takes her side and wouldn't let her be wronged. Her husband is no persimmon either. Yes, he is filial to his parents but only to an extent. Even if he is often taken advantage of, they are scared of him because he's the most capable earner in the family.

I like that their life as part of that family was not dragged. They were immediately separated after the ML was hurt badly and their lives got so much better after that. That's where the FOG comparison comes in again. The ML was hurt by a bear and almost died just like how the MC's father also almost died in FOG after being attacked by a bear. The difference is that the FL here has no golden finger but the ML got better through medicine and proper care and nourishment. Social image plays a big part in this story just like how in every novel in chinese has filial piety as one of the concurrent issues. Even if they are not from noble houses, it'll be hard to live in a small village with a bad image like an unfilial child so the FL used exaggerations to describe her husband's injury to let the family think that they are going to be a burden from then on and will give them a chance a separate from the family. I think the most pitiful character her is the third brother and family who were also often abused by the mother-in-law, and the FL's presence helped liberate their minds from being too filial, esp the third brother just lets them be trampled on (filial piety), both husband and wife developed a backbone and also separated from the family.

There's no revenge here. Just a slice of life and being earnest in life. Through the end of the story, the two brothers who were neglected and taken advantaged of separated from the main family and had a very rich life while working and learning hard, while the two brothers who were cherished by the parents stayed poor and lazy. As a person who often thinks about my own family, I sometimes thought maybe Tiezhue and Tiegen could have helped their other siblings in some ways even if they are bad, because aside from the eldest sister, the other members of the family didn't approach them nor harassed them after they were separated. (I read it a second time and realized how horrible the situation was after ML got mauled by a bear. He's in bad shape and waiting for some money for the medical fees but the family's matriarch don't want to give some and threatened to hang herself, the father just sighed, the 4th brother still asked how to get the money for the cheatsheet for his exam, and the 1st brother just felt sleepy. Nobody even visited him in the hospital or asked if he's already dead. They are horrible and don't deserve any help.)

Afterall, they did help other members of their family like their Uncle's family and some close friends. But I do get why they didn't although I don't approve. In one of the year they were going to give their parents annual allowance, they tried to give them more that what is stipulated in their separation agreement, and when their youngest sister is going to be married without a dowry, they thought of giving her some, but decided against it because they often gave an inch and the family took a mile in the life when they weren't separated yet. They just didn't want more troubles for their family. I like how FOG MC did it right, by giving more than what is right to help since they are still family but also having a bottomline and not being a pushover.

This is not a revenge novel. Although the villains did get their comeuppance, the author did not make it extra horrible and the leads didn't have to do anything for revenge but just earnestly lived their lives to the fullest and let others be envious. And no golden fingers. Just good business model that started at the backyards and got larger demands because they supplied to a large area. <<less

It is not bad and I enjoyed reading this story.

I don't like overpowered MC and long chapters novel, so the MC and the chapter length suit my taste.

MC and ML have very good relationship as married couple. Their relationship develops very fast, but it's ok.

For me, the main themes in this story are family and business. ML family isn't good. His mom is partial to youngest son and also eldest son. She only wants his money and never thought about his feelings. I can see it's hard to live in... more>> ancient time when filial piety is very important (even though the parents are very partial and unreasonable). In bad family environment, MC used her modern knowledge to do business and since then their life has gotten better. If we talk about ML ex fiancee, I think she is "sick".

I've read Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid (another story from this novel author). This story's MC is a girl that Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid's MC (Xiao Hua) met during their journey from capital to the north.

ML and MC's relationship develop too fast and by fast I mean real fast. And she got pregnant too soon in the novel.

ML's family is a bunch of tr*sh especially his mom, the only one that is nice and okay from his fam is the 3rd brother. His mom is a total b*tch who is emotionally abusive and sometimes physically abusive. His dad is a weak guy who can't wear the pants in the house and seems to can't control his hateful wife. He just like ML's mom is a... more>> lil d*ck to how they treat ML in the fam.

Bruh I wanted to slap the sh*t out of the mom when she tried to kick out the pregnant MC and injured ML from the house, and when she beat up the 3rd brother and his wife! I hope she goes to hell! Too much drama with his family!

Not gonna read anymore cause it's too much angst for me. <<less

This is a very good novel, at least until the translated part chapter 78.2. It is milder and more realistic than most transmigration novels. However even though it's 'mild', the MC is no meek girl, she is assertive and protective for her own and her beloved ones' benefits. She is not vicious or hateful either, she has compassion but she knows how to fight back, her mentality and attitude is really like a modern person. MC has no golden finger except for the inherited embroidery skill of the original girl.

The... more>> ML, somehow I have not much impression of him apart that he is sweet and clingy. But it is fine, I love reading about the MC. The side characters are excellent, their interaction is really enjoyable. MC's business plans made me drool, in the end I really bought myself Chinese sausages to nibble while reading.

Unfortunately the translation slowed down (and stopped?) after it's moved to a new website. I really wish I can reach out to the translator. To be honest, (without any intention to diss the website, I swear!) the new website is not convenient in many aspects. There is a white menu bar that keeps pulsating on my face covering some of the texts when I read on mobile, it stays even after I registered (and donated) It is hard to leave comments to encourage the translator, and finally when I spent money trying to donate to the translator, I failed to do that. Why not just use the easy and fast Kofi? Aaaaahhh. <<less

Very mellow novel. It was cute and satisfying. A nice read.

... more>>
Spoiler

Although I am a bit dissatisfied with her brother for not telling his wife that he loved her after so long and leaving her insecure like that. It just really sucks if you're in her shoes. The worst part is that he knows that she feels like that but everything is fine since she is easily satisfied. I mean she understands him and loves him and she's happy but she doesn't know he loves her and will spend her life doubting if he ever did whilst being satisfied just loving him without answer. I was left hanging. Will they ever know they love each other? I'm pretty sure he knows but it seems she will never know. It's frustrating.

[collapse]

Anyways, the story was cute and I love how the MC adapted to the life there. She struggled but she managed and honestly speaking the romance was a bit fast for me.

Spoiler

The ML was fine but although it kept saying he really cared about her, he really was frustrating sometimes. Like his EQ was pretty low. But at least he knew his wrongs and made it up to her. Still it was expected since he is from that time and he is a farmer with no education and little family love. But I didn't really like how they didn't really mention that the whole business came from her. Like it was all his achievements and thats what all the village thought. I know he was the main one working but man at least tell people it was thanks to her. Idk. I just feel like only he knows all her efforts and successes while everyone thinks it's his. He treats her good and is grateful and in love but still. Maybe I'm just being fussy but it made sad how she adapted so well that she went along with society. It's realistic but it's sad how she didn't try to change it. Nevertheless I like that it was realistic. Men mattered more there and she knew that. How unfair yet I'm not really mad at the book.

This is almost a cliche transmigration story where the MC use the modern knowledge to improve her life and was able to meet a ML who only sees her and is a pearl on his big hands. But I'm a sucker for this kind of cliches, so yeah it was definitely worth a read. The MTL is kinda readable too, but it was thanks to the translator that piqued my interest on this novel.

It was ok in the beginning. But it got boring as time passed by.

I read this pretty mundane story to reduce my stress but reading about bickering and narrow-minded relatives makes me even more stressed. It's the same cut and mold of all rural place transmigration stories that I've read. The formula is transmigrated women who can cook or sew well + boorish devoted husband + annoying relatives = subpar novel who will stress you out but it can kill time.

The personalities of characters are becoming more flat as time... more>> goes on. The MC becoming an ancient woman in heart and action. And in an annoying way.

There's more telling than showing. The narrator just tells you what's happening. There's barely any meaningful dialogue apart from bickering and bland coaxing. And even with all the narration spanning a few chapters, the time skip will not exceed 1 week.

I'm dropping this. <<less

I'm dropping this novel here. It's not bad, but it's not something I enjoy.

Firstly, the ML is very nice and kind, but there is very little romance. In fact, romance doesn't even take a back seat - it's walking.

Secondly, I don't enjoy reading about people going through hardships just to have enough to eat and wear. The fl's in-laws were disgusting people and it made me emotionally exhausted reading about the horrible things they did.

If you enjoy reading about hardships and despicable people, you'll enjoy this - no judgment. It's... more>> just not entertaining to me. <<less

Thankfully when I read this it was translated up to the separating the family chapter. If not, idk how dizzy will head will be thinking about their crazy parents drama.

Overall, the fact that FL is transmigrated from other/future world doesn't play much part in this novel. She doesn't start inventing modern stuff or anything, and her embroidery skills also originated from the real but dead person. Love this novel so much!

I enjoyed it at first, but then my blood pressure began to rise every time the ML mother behaved more unreasonably than necessary. I know that reputation at that time is very important, but what is its real importance when you are just a peasant cultivating the land?
I didn't really feel that she got what she deserved (I read the spoiler from the reviews and I still feel angry)

The MC even continued to do the basics for her parents even after the breakup, and the ML praised her... more>> broad-mindedness, which made me want to throw my phone away. (Give money in advance and then give them basic gifts at the new year)

There were many solutions to get away from this family and from the village, where everyone kept their eyes on every step they took. I felt upset when they changed the layout of the house so as not to attract suspicion around them for having a lot of money. I mean, your business focuses on supplying to restaurants. Isn’t it better to move To the city? There is no land to farm anyway after they rented it

She may want to blend in with her surroundings, but I still think that it is for the sake of her children and for herself that she move to a more comfortable and better environment, especially since she comes from the modern era and knows the pleasure of comfort.

My feeling of frustration throughout the novel has not found an outlet until this moment, and I have had enough <<less

Completed thru MTL, with MTL barely understandable at times.

This is a passable time waster for readers who are ok with mundane stories of poor, rural, agricultural China. One will be annoyed at a good handful of seemingly narrow-minded characters, which is actually quite reflective of what happens in reality. Their challenges appear quite trivial, but that's what poverty, narrow-mindedness and greed can do to people. It's more of economy/rags to riches type of story with some drama. There is little world-building, but isn't necessary for these kinds of stories IMO.

FL... more>> is ok, one of those transmigrators that

adapted easily and harnessed their knowledge of the modern world.

ML is adorable and quite decisive, he just stumbled a bit at one point but he recovered with a vengeance and continued being consistent. Some characters needed a while to have a break through but others are un-redeemable. There's an appearance of another character here who has their own story, but I'm not compelled to read hers at the moment.

It is a bit longer than other similar stories I have read, so I recommend reading those first then this if you still can't get enough of this genre (or looking for a lighter read after reading an excitement-filled one). <<less

These days, it’s hard to find transmigration/reincarnation novels that does not have elements of martial arts, medical prowess or cooking skills. If I have no choice, I prefer reading something that is not overly exaggerated and this one didn’t disappoint.

There are typical elements of shameless and vicious characters but not overly done to the point of making the reader drop. Whenever I read new series of the same type, I usually look for what they’ll do something different to other novel. This one has a few unique takes that I... more>> like enough that made it a stand out.

For example the conscription that forces people to send their land to avoid going to the army, thus causing the land prices to plummet and the characters obtaining a lot cheap lands. I like the business side of things.

When it comes to the face slapping things. It is ok. The main character is not cruel when taking revenge but sometimes I feel it is lacking. Or maybe, it’s because I read the MTL version so I didn’t felt satisfied...

At first, there were some scenes that were not much elaborated and I was confused until I saw that it was a shared universe with 2 other novels. Got to read them at some point.

Overall, it’s a good story. There are a lot of novel I MTL’ed after I ran out of translated materials but I usually drop almost all because of difficulty in reading. But this novel, I managed to finished in about 3 days. So it says a lot that this one is worth to read for me. <<less
