I dont get why people rate this bad. This novel is good read. If you are looking for good plot this ones worthy.

What I like in this novel? It has the great loads of humor esp on earlier chapters. The barkings of couples are a hit. You know how best friends turn to lover except they are bickering each other all the time like thing. The love story isnt forced too. No unnecessary drama like appearance of third party to hinder the romance just to progress the story and a... more>> forced "i love u-i love you too" exchange. The way it progress felt natural for me esp for this kind of set up.

Whats cons? Since its tag as smut I am expecting allot on this side since I came for this (hehee). If you are here for smut then this one is not for it. Dry on this part. Stated but you wont feel it (you know what I mean?). Fluffy but not so sensual which is what I came for but I stayed for comedy and plot anyway so its a win win. Author's kinda newbie on this side. Also, it maybe realistic ob others but it was tag as comedy so I am expecting a light ending where his father, the emperor, would accept his son. Although it goes on different direction it doesnt destroy the plot but 2 chapters for ending felt lacking for me. Ambigous and I felt I needed more.

Btw, I complete this on other site and came here bcs quality of trans is kinda meh. This site gives better translation so read here instead. 😉 <<less

I like the ending and the fact that MC and ML were true to themselves and the things that are most important to them the whole time.

I will say the MC here is just like a pretty little flower. She didn't really do all that much, although she did majorly step up one time that really mattered. The story is more about he conspiracies and schemes of a changing dynasty.

I also appreciate the interesting portrayal of characters. Many of their endings were quite tragic, but their characters were multi-dimensional.

I truly think pei lam just wanted to escape and live in obscurity somewhere unknown. However, he's clever, and who knows if he's truly willing to keep suffering in oblivion? He is very pitiful though, almost similar to rui wang from To Be a Virtuous Wife.

Listen fellow reader, personally, I love this story. The translation easily gets a 10 in my book and I think this story was something new from the deep scheming stories most C-novels have, and I also love how the ML and FL aren’t omnipotent rulers of the underworld badasses. It’s more realistic.
The ML and FL are smart, they have no shame in lowering their heads today if it means living to tomorrow, they don’t carry minor grudges like a ball and chain, but will retaliate in little petty ways... more>> (which I found pretty cute), and they work so well together.
Their relationship is genuine, not that the ML thinks the FL is interesting because he’s never met a woman like her before, and slowly starts butting into her life before a relationship is established.
The enemies are established from the get go, and we’re not introduced to supporting characters as the story progresses who are there just to be faceslapped. This is not that sort of story. The antagonists all have— I’m not sure how to say it— I guess they have substance, they’re not just there to be evil for the sake of being evil (some are), but take the Crown Prince for example
Spoiler

He was sort of s*upid and narcissistic as ML points out when he brings the Crown Prince back to the Capital, but he was still an antagonist with way more depth then I expected. I mean, how many princes in c-novels do you see running away from the throne and literally forsaking everything because it’s “impure” or whatever? Also, I’ve seen many arrogant, self-righteous characters, but the author took a unique approach when creating the Crown Prince, and this made him a deeply impressionable character in my opinion

[collapse]

The ML and FL aren’t too deep and while it helped the story progress fast, it didn’t progress too fast.
Spoiler

they’re honestly more focused on being together and protecting themselves then amassing power. The only time I can really think of them scheming was when they avenged FL’s mother, hooked up the doctor with the maid, and played the Emperor when he separated the ML and FL

[collapse]

Also, they’re not the impenetrable archetype I’m used to in C-novels. They make mistakes, they fall into traps, and I’m impressed by how quick on their feet they are.
Spoiler

When another Prince’s wife tries to frame FL for making her miscarriage, FL doesn’t even hesitate to take the poison too because she knew the only way to avoid implicating she and ML was to harm herself. After all, the last thing you’d expect of an expecting woman is to feed herself the poison she gave someone else. The ML knew what she did and put on a damn good show in front of the Emperor, and to really hit the nail on the head, FL even fake faints after messing with the Emperor’s sympathy

[collapse]

Finally, the smut is to die for. Just read it you won’t regret it. But if you’re hoping for a deep and complex plot, then this story might not be for you. Or it might, who knows? Give it a shot and find out, won’t hurt to try something new. <<less

This novel started off very well. I enjoyed the interactions between the MC and ML, no matter how sly the ML was, he would always put the MC first. The part that kind of confused me was that the revenge part seemed to be a little bit forced and written carelessly.

The author wanted to potray the MC as a strong woman who wasn't naive and would exact revenge on those who harmed her, but she kind of just mostly depended on the ML? She did kinda risk herself and baby... more>> with the poison and all but to me it was just reckless and foolish. Maybe I've been reading too much of independent OP FL novels so I'm not really used to see this weaker version FL.

There's also the crown prince's existence that I'm very much confused of.
Spoiler

Like what purpose did he serve in the novel? At first he seemed to be a villain, but then it was revealed that he was just his mother's puppet and he actually sought for freedom. Then there was this part where he was detained by ML and he turned out to be a bit twisted. I suspect that thr author would insert another kind of plot twist to his story but nope, he killed himself after the argument with ML. I felt that he served no real purpose in this story.

[collapse]

There's also Bei Dou and Xiao Tu's part. After being fed with their cute interactions I had hoped that there would at least be a few chapters dedicated to them. <<less

This is one of the most tasteless novels I've ever read. Sometimes it feels like I'm reading a bullet point list of actions instead of a narrative. The dialogue is awful and awkward, the characters are bland and honestly? The leads are just annoying. They want to be ruthless but the next moment they're crying because they're responsible for someone's death. Make up your minds! The FL just disappeared by the end of story so I don't really care about her, but the ML is the most wishy-washy ML I've... more>> ever read.

Amazing. <<less

I really enjoyed it. I think I'll even read it a second time when I'm bored and I have nothing to read. It was a nive read, the ML wasn't an as*hole and they had a nice relationship. It was nothing revolutionary, but the ML it's kinda like a gem among the sea of tr*shy ML.

This is a good story with very likable main characters. The ML will do anything to keep his wife safe which is even more endearing. I very anxious at times because of all the sticky situations the characters for into. The story isn't all that mysterious or intriguing as the supporting characters are all very two dimensional. It's still a good way to pass time though.

I read this whole story and I have to tell you, it is amazing. A well written story with feelings and some dirty jokes. The last chapter and side story just bring the emotions out of you with its love between characters and everything. I have read many mains stream novels TMW, LLS, MW, the desolate era, and many others but this one is only one I find worthy enough to write a review about.
You should definitely read this.

I'm rereading the story, and just for kicks, I read the reviews. Shock! I think the summary fooled people into thinking this was a historical romantic comedy along the lines of snarky cat and mouse play that ends with true love. If you, like me, pick it up again after forgetting the summary, you would be totally immersed in a world of light intrigue, revenge, and human relationships in a historical setting.

By "light", I mean that, in comparison to other historical intrigue stories,... more>> the focus seems to be more on the relationship between the MC's and they just happen to have other, heavy stuff going on. (As contrast, MGQ has a woman tossed about by circumstance, culture, and her own traitorous heart, damn that fleshy beating beast. If that MC is barely managing to tread water, these MC's are standing in the shallow end with time to splash each other mischievously.)

Strangely enough, one of the things I like the most about it is that the female MC is a strong minded girl hiding culturally inappropriate behavior without the need for the rebirth/reincarnation crutch. The love story is sweet with elements of kindergarten style flirting. The partnership is sassy. The intrigue is just adult enough to make things interesting without making things too heavy for a fun read. Keeping in mind that old politics are dirty, things get dark-ish, and the emperor is petty (but what kind of emperor have we not seen?), I probably wouldn't read this as a bedtime story to children, but it's only a deal breaker if you were shopping for a different genre entirely. <<less

I came for the Smut but the plot made me speechless. The plot is slow in the beginning after 60-70+ we can see the schemes and it made me feel the pressure like I was the one in the story. It would be better if it was written more beautifully.

So this was an interesting read-through, not too bad but not amazing. There were some interesting plot points but not anything that I haven't read before. The ending did feel a bit abrupt but all in all, they finished up all the storylines.
Spoiler

I do feel bad for their oldest son though. : (

I don't have the problem with the writing style that some people have, but I still dropped this story. Neither main character was particularly interesting or likeable, I didn't find myself rooting for either of them. Some of the scheming was just too silly, like the official wife of a Prince doesn't need to scheme to deal with a maid come on she can just have her flogged, there's no such thing as a maid with a strong enough backer to stand up to an actual Princess Consort, unfavoured or... more>> not. <<less

I love this. Of course because the FL is not reincarnated nor transmigated, but mainly because the story was not overkill--good length, great humor, and there's no excessive praises for the lead characters. The lead characters still have their moments of unknown, they retained their humane side and not become too cruel with plenty of justifications. This is so refreshing~ the translator did an amazing job too, they cautioned for nsfw chapters with humors, the jokes didnt get lost in translations (without excessive explaining too) ! It's amazing, I wish... more>> more people would read it--it deserves to be rated higher imo. <<less
