Description

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

Ruan Xi was reading a novel with a laid-back female protagonist at her own leisure. When she woke up again, she had transmigrated into the book and became the female supporting character with a good life, Ruan Xi, of whom the female protagonist envied.

In the story, the character Ruan Xi was the replacement for the engagement that had fallen through because her transmigrated, legitimate older sister had abandoned her fiancé from a rich family. Later, Ruan Xi was pampered to the heavens by her husband and became the winner in life as an imperially mandated first-rank wife to an official.

Ruan Xi, who had transmigrated over, watched as her transmigrated legitimate older sister prepared for that marriage happily. Similarly, her legitimate mother had also decided on another marriage agreement for her.

Ruan Xi: “……”

Years later, after the sister is suffering from her husband’s family, she came to Ruan Xi to see her struggling with misery. When she stood at the door of Ruan Xi’s house, she watched the cold and violent man in her previous life hold her in the palm of his hand with all kinds of wealth and love.

Dryer and blander than boiled chicken made by a white child. I think the translator did the best they could but my god even that couldn’t save it. There’s a recurring line in the story that I feel describes it perfectly: “... ”

That’s it. That’s literally it, the MC came across as so detached and unaffected by everything it’s like she’s not even part of her environment. Her chemistry with the ML was nonexistent too. I couldn’t even enjoy the story’s smooth ride because the scenery... how to say... it’s... more>> all just autumn grass on a plain that stretches as far as the eyes can see <<less

Very easy story to follow. Obvious plot cliches but still enjoyable. It was quite fast paced despite the long texts. The flow, especially when the troubles came, was never slow so the reader wouldn't be bogged down by the bad feeling.

Giving this a 5-star review because the current ratings are abit too low imo, but honestly this novel is more of a 4-star.

this novel is easy to read and relatively simple. All schemes and plots are uncovered very easily, while that's not a bad thing but as someone who prefers deeper plotting and the humanisation of villains to add more intrigue and a deeper sense of connection we see none of that. No villains really face any repercussions and repent for what they did, they are just removed from ever... more>> causing trouble again... and that prevents it from being truly satisfying. Then again this isn't a revenge novel

The character setup for the FL and ML are absolutely wonderful (except for how OP they are) and that is honestly what kept me hooked till the end. I love how respectful the both of them are to each other, and the ML is honestly one of the best MLs in c-novels (the top is still xjx from malicious empress for me) — I especially love his interactions with his mother! I've yet to see a ML who has such pleasant parents honestly. The FL is extremely likeable as well, but truly she's very OP and most obstacles are easily cleared

would definitely recommend for an easy read and for laughs <<less

So the entire premise of this novel, is a book within a book within a book. The novel's legitimate third miss, Ruan Xi's legitimate sister mentioned in the blurb is a transmigration "protagonist" as well. Only for the middle ring around the inner ring.

Ruan Xi, is the protagonist for the outer ring in this premise. Which is the ring, that the novel that is being read.

... more>>
Spoiler

The inner ring's protagonist is eventually revealed later on as well, and she too, is a transmigrator.

[collapse]

The rings that I'm talking about, is almost exact as the math diagrams showcasing the relationship of Real numbers to fractions to integers. Which is complicated, but I'm just using the diagram as a reference on how the book within a book within a book works.
Each "book" has their own plot to follow, which is the underlining rule of this particular novel. Which also helps support the other rules for outer ring, once you understand the "rules" then the other ones are more readable.
Spoiler

The inner book's "rule" is that the inner protagonist must be with that particular ML. The middle book's "rule" is to have the protagonist have many accomplishments to further develop the setting world. The outer book's "rule" is to have it's protagonist to have little difficulty in passing conflict, which is seen in the other books "rules" too.

[collapse]
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this, while yes Ruan Xi's sister is used to help further along the plot to some degree. It's likely that if she wasn't used, technically speaking, the romance would be the same as it would be with using the sister as a plot pusher.
Spoiler

She's just that one person you'd get along with at first, only until something bad happens. Then she leaves you in the dust, which is technically a fake friend. But like with most fake friends, she comes back once something good happens.

[collapse]

While I don't understand the use of both female and male supporting characters. I assume that this is just a cultural thing for most Oriental country authors. Like how most English authors use the path of a Hero as their formula in writing. <<less

All in all, the novel is quite good. Read the spoilers at your own risk 😂😂😂

... more>>
Spoiler

Although, there's a multiple transmigrated people from modern times (3 in actuality) and 2 got reborn, even the OG Ruan Xi of the novel (the one who married Qi gongzi) , got a chance to be reborn and have her happy ending with Qi gongzi again even if she was in different body.

Anyway, you can say that the MC, transmigrated Ruan Xi, got a ' good luck halo'. It is not an OP golden finger but was needed and a must in her current life.

Unlike Ruan Ning/San Niang, she got a 'platinum level' of golden finger (having a healing system and a plentiful knowledge of modern inventions blueprints). Although her golden finger is a first class but she lacks the proper IQ for that time era (she got the modern concept of lifestyle). On her 1st transmigration, she lives as if there's no Emperor above all and even if she knows, she thinks that ancient people are s*upid and got that supremacy vibes that she's above all. In short, she's courting death in a lavish way 😅. Maybe that's the reason why the Emperor edicts her to follow his deathbed.

On her 3rd life, being reborn in transmigrated novel. She didn't acts lavishly just like her 2nd life. Since she's envious of her 4th sister's life from the 2nd life of her, she wants to continue the engagement of her's to Qi gongzi (the one she was engaged with and push to her 4th sis on her 2nd life). Pity, she doesn't have the memory of the OG Ruan Ning in both lives where the OG already 'insulted/looked down' Qi gongzi, making Qi disgusted to her.

Later on, still, Ruan Ning keeps pestering people around her, dragging people to a pit or shameful manners without feeling remorse as if they deserved it and its their fault first. Ruan Ning totally lost her braincells 🙄🙌. At least, she didn't lost the 'inventions' due to lack of IQ.

In the end, she still follows what's the supposed plot of the OG novel (Plot-sama is actually strong in this regard, although some things diverse from the OG novel but the end result is there 😬).

Speaking of the OG novel...

The OG novel is supposed to be, Mu Qingci, the novel's female protagonist, is a transmigrated modern girl to ancient times. She doesn't have a golden finger and only knows to eat good food 🤭. It wasn't mentioned what her previous life but always mentioned that she's a foodie 😅. She later on marries 4th Prince and bear the 1st son of him that will be the future Emperor making her the Dowager Empress. Its supposed to be a slice of life type novel for her.

Whereas, her fellow transmigrator, Ruan Ning, got a golden finger of a healing system and a plentiful of 'inventions' and 'discoveries' on her plate when she got transmigrated. It makes her feel that she is like the protagonist of a novel. She throws away her engagement to Qi er gongzi (an illegitimate son of a Marquis family) to her 4th sister, Ruan Xi (an illegitimate daughter of an Earl family).

She lives a lavish life and 'invents' a lot of useful things and even 'discover' high yield crops and seeds, making her a well-known young lady that's being admired by many low to top class men. Also, making the Imperial family aware of her, specially the current Emperor 😏 that she laters regret. Since she was an unmarried girl in a noble family, the Emperor (who's on his 50s) makes her his concubine (since she cures the Emperor of his illness via her healing system). This Emperor is not that muddled not to used RN well and later discard when his life ended, avoiding trouble for his descendants.

When RN becomes the concubine of the Emperor, she really hated it since she wants to marry good looking and top class man (like Wen Ting Zhou and later on Qi Yue An-the ex-fiancé of hers). She regrets a lot of things and envies her 4th sister's good married life with Qi er gongzi. Making it her demon when she got reborn.

[collapse]

I like how the translator puts explanation to some words and phrases. She also retains some Chinese words for the proper title or name called, since chinese got specific name calling towards family and there's no English equivalent of it, so retaining those titles is better than translating them literally making it quite nuisance.

I also like, how the author put another ending or rather Epilogue and an extra chapter to the story, making it a good ending to almost all people (specially that last life of the OG female Protagonist, she totally deserves it).

So yeah, maybe I've written a summary of spoilers 😂. But, try reading it and maybe it's your cup of tea and you'll like the novel. You'll surely understand what I'm trying to explained in my spoilers 😹😹😹 <<less

I like it but I don't love it. Not my favourite but also not the worst. In my opinion, I would just tell you to read it to form your own thoughts and comments because all in all, my scale tips more to the favourable side. A super light read and it all just seems very convenient for the female lead, so at some point, the story becomes a little bland. However, the FL and ML's relationship is really cute and there's not much drama actually. Most of the drama... more>> is really just for the sake of having a longer story. The antagonist is really really s*upid and silly. S*upid to the point where you're just frustrated and angry with the character. Overall, it's not a bad read to pass time.

One thing I really love is how detailed the translation is. The translator of the story would explain everything in a clear and concise form and would even include pictures to show how the descriptions in the passage would look like. <<less

Liked the story. I like be the FL personality. She is very hard working in order to fulfill her new role. The story doesn’t have much face slapping and when there is it’s pretty swift and deadly. The villainess ought to be one of the biggest idiot I’ve seen in that role, even with all the cheats she has she managed to make herself unhappy.

This book has become one of my favorites, and is highly recommended. Placing some points, I will write some spoilers, read at your own risk.

• The translation is without a doubt the best I've ever read! Plus all the sayings and unknown Chinese words were explained wonderfully!

• It's a slice of life, it doesn't have extreme situations to make readers distressed, so it's not for readers who want to read the intrigues of a harem.

• The husband of the first life is not the ML, but rest assured he also... more>> has his happy ending with his destined partner.

• One thing I really admire about this book is that even supporting characters had their endings written, even if in a superficial way.

• In my view, there are no plot holes, everything is in its place.

• I liked the way their love wasn't something "at first sight" but something that developed with the interest they both had.

• ML is sweet and kind despite being sly, he is not your typical yandere it's really refreshing to read their romance.

• FL is smart, beautiful and lucky! And your golden finger, despite being very small, for me is the best a woman in ancient China could wish for.

• The villain is transmigrated and reborn she has all the powers with healing system knowledge of manufacturing various things, but on the other hand she is s*upid, very s*upid.

• It's basically something focused on the love of the protagonists <<less

This novel was surprisingly endearing. I found myself enjoying the hilarious antics the villains get up to and their strange thought processes. Since everything goes well for the FL, you need the constant messes the villains kick up in order to make the novel interesting.

I do think the golden fingers that the FL get are a bit illogically good. Her luck is so good, and it makes no sense. She's not really obviously smarter or better than many other characters.

The only good thing about the FL is that she doesn't... more>> covet what isn't hers, doesn't have petty thoughts, and doesn't take other people at face value. <<less

  1. I enjoyed the first half of the book. As always with CN historicals, at some point, the story drags & becomes repititive. Having dumb antagonists is irritating and exhausting. Especially when they are brought up every other chapter.

    The ML and FL were the ultimate OP characters. Nothing bad ever happened to them. The ML could solve any mystery and always came to the fl's rescue.

    This story made me believe that too many cliches spoil the broth. So many people transmigrated. Then were reborn. And also had golden fingers. Just too much going on.

    Edit: 2 stars. Without this review, this story wasnt at all memorable for me.

Great translation!

The story itself is very "laid-back", just like the title! It's entertaining and an easy read, where everything goes smoothly for our MC and ML. I wish there was more of a focus on how the MC overcame her inferior status or something instead of being so easily accepted by everyone. Any conflict that she does face is easily resolved, which doesn't make for a very exciting read, but overall I still enjoyed the novel.

While many people seem to criticize the legitimate daughter / sister of our MC as... more>> being s*upid and a terrible antagonist, I think the author did it on purpose. I'm not sure if the author is trying to make a point about being unable to avoid your fate, like another reviewer said, because the fates of many characters in the story changes. I think it's more of a commentary on what people who can adapt to changes in their environment and can assimilate into society / culture, and what happens to people who can't.

Spoiler

For example, the sister / legitimate daughter is a transmigrator. She is aware of the novel's plot, has "golden finger" and given her birthright and family background, she could have had an ideal life (or as ideal as a woman could have had in ancient China), but instead, all her plans backfire upon herself and in the end, she ends up with a worse fate than her previous life because she refuses to conform. Basically, her behavior is abhorrent and her lack of self-awareness only causes things to exacerbate.

[collapse]

The relationship between the MC and ML is sweet, but not very exciting. I would have loved if we had found out more about the MC and her original fiancee and how their relationship developed. Similarly, I would also want to know more about the real protagonist of the novel and her different lives with the Fourth Prince. The extra chapter at the end was too short.

In short, a good, easy read. Characters are interesting enough that I wish there was more about them. <<less

It's one of those mediocre novels, which you read it for passing time, but gets better at the last chapters. The beginning, is decent, explaining FL's circumstances in the ancient time, however it gets quite boring.

The reasons I got through this novel:

... more>>
Spoiler

Ruan san niang, was like a clown actor, which made the stale or boring novel have some spice.

The FL is Mary Sue, lets be honest, you'll understand if you will read this novel, that she will barely suffer any grievances, except her circle of people. ML, the typical, FL's fated from the start.

So, in conclusion, Ruan san niang, through her crazy and bad decisions, made the novel worthwhile and give me a laugh, even with its plotholes and cliche plot. Example: of how FL saved ML appearing out of nowhere, for unknown reason of why ML was even in that place

P.S the extra is really cringe

[collapse]

I recommend for passing time read with a HE.

P.S: Bed scenes, slightly detailed

It's a light read.

Romance is really cute, ML doesn't force himself on FL. Not much obstruction happened, so romance is smooth sailing. Not much distraction by side character as well. FL and ML is well balanced, both are outstanding, so it's not a Cinderella-kind of story.

Antagonist is really really s*upid, blinded by arrogance.

... more>>
Spoiler

I was actually hoping she will repent and grow brain, but unfortunately no.

[collapse]

There aren't much fight. It's not a long read so plot mostly centered on FL and ML. Although there is also royal character, FL is daughter of official, ML is both official and son of noble, but there is no royal fight to the throne, or country-related crisis or something grand like that.

Although, the concept of transmigrating - reborn as the same character - reborn as different character on the same era - reborn as character in different era is confusing. Better forget it and not dwell to much in it. <<less

Not gonna lie, the story is interesting.

I still don't like these endless repetitions of cnovel tropes. Like, of course both the main protagonists are the prettiest, nicest, most intelligent and overall bestest people in existence. It's especially aggravating around the middle. At least their s*xual life is on an acceptable level and not as ridiculous as in standard cnovels. Although I will never understand the obsession with hickeys in these stories.

And although the story is interesting and very rarely gets boring, the level of depravity and s*upidity of the villains... more>> and the righteousness of the heroes and their skill and coolness resolving even the gravest offenses can get pretty annoying at times, too.

But what's most annoying is that the parents don't even try to educate their children. How about actually *telling* them what they did wrong and what would be the right thing? Nope, punishment *must* be enough. Go kneel for three days and reflect. Yeah, extremely effective.... No wonder the story world is overflowing with psychopaths. <<less

It's an okay-ish story (3.5 star). The translation is good. Thank you translator

What don't sit right to me was:

... more>>
Spoiler

1). The MC got married and pregnant at 14-15. I know it's in ancient setting and it was normal at that time. I understand. I DO understand. But understanding it and liking it are two different things.

2. What's wrong with the 3rd young lady? She was s*upid, annoying, and a troublemaker, but they just let her be? While other villains (legit. mom, concubine of ML's father and her daughter) were killed? Is it because she didn't killed anyone yet, but they did. So it was justified to kill them? I am sorry but I had been waiting for her to be killed and had killed her several times in my mind. I am tired reading her s*upid actions, but she lasted until the end and wasn't killed... or am I too evil??

3. And the poisonous rogue/cosmetic. It was mentioned at one chapter, then was forgotten? Or did I skip how it was solved? I mean it was mentioned as the caused for ML's aunt death which made ML avoided female and possibly the death of MC's mother. I didn't read the continuation of this

4. And the last was the forever-young formula. What happened with that? Did the Yang get it back? Or...?

One of the best translations ever. Yuulation did a very good job explaining things and I really appreciate the notes.

This story tells us what happens to a transmigrator who flaunts her golden-finger, who is petty and thinks that she's very special because she has the power of knowledge and goldfinger.

The story revolves around a supporting character who was barely mentioned in the story but has a good life with a doting husband and children. The transmigrator sister envies her and tried to steal her fate by changing fiancee, this sister... more>> is very arrogant and small minded and so she's never happy and never content with whatever she has. She basically tried to ruin everyone around her with her pettiness but the supporting character, Ruan Xi, remained happy with a positive mindset.

It's very easy to read and very enjoyable although the first few chapters were a little bit slow. The romance has a good pace. <<less

Enjoyable with a good translation quality. The multiple rebirths/ transmigration of the characters can be a little confusing with th different endings of different characters except for the FL. She does have good luck as aside from her original self where she died young from heart disease, when she transmigrated and then reborn to 2 different lifelines she had a good life with doting partners. That Ruan san niang is the real loser and totally cuckoo - she deserved her outcomes regardless of how many time she’s reborn.

a lot of wholesome and fluffy-sweet dog food, mixed with satisfying and comedic face-slapping. The political and social conspiracies are not complex because they aren't this story's focus. The translation quality is really superb.

although it was a bit preachy at times, the MC establishes from the beginning that she aims to 'do as the romans do' and live within her means without ambitiously striving for unrealistic endings.

her 3rd older sister and the original novel's female protagonist serve as two extreme foils to MC's character, with MC being the happy moderate... more>> example. The 3rd older sister is short-sighted, arrogant, scheming, covets what others have, and absolutely can't stand seeing anyone have anything good. She is simultaneously a respected pioneer due to her knowledge as a transmigrator from the modern era, and a social pariah as her inappropriate conduct constantly becomes public spectacle. At the other end, the original novel's female protagonist just wants to live a peaceful and laid-back life, enjoy her days as they come, and eat delicious food. She has no ambitions to use her transmigrator- or protagonist-halo to better her life, and she genuinely enjoys shipping the MC and ML as a bystander from afar. <<less

This Novel is Absolutely Wonderful with Satisfying Ending!

This novel is slightly a Unique one. Because there's 3 Transmigrator female characters and ONLY MC who knew about the fact of all 3 (her, and 2 others) based on the novel she had read. And not only that, but this novel also showing about Other People's reactions if or when they find out or suspicious or aware about the Unusual Circumstances/Abnormalities that was shown by 'them'. It's really Interesting!

MC and ML is Smart. BECAUSE they're smart, when they encounter troubles, they easily... more>> solve or clear them all.

ML is Powerful, while MC is Smart, Calm, and luckily has a Golden Finger. Only shortly mentioned and brought up, but still an Important one! But also because MC and ML are Calm and Smart people, the story doesn't have much drama or conflict.

But the Villain... The One True LONGEST Villain IS SO s*upid!!! Gosh, she has the Biggest Brain Hole in the Universe of Villainess!!! Her Egoistism makes her so Evil and so s*upid!!! Like seriously, she COULD have chosen the Non Villain Route. She COULD be Greedy without being Villain. But SHE FCKING CHOSE TO BE VILLAIN AND THE HOLE IN HER BRAIN ARE SO WIDE AND ENDLESS!!! SHE'S LIKE A c*ckROACH; HARD TO KILL AND NASTY AF!!!

The Villain is also a Bad luck for the OG!Female Protagonist. But the extra chapter make us happy and relieved for her.

Anyway, Truly Amazing Novel and I'm Truly Loving it Sooo Much!!! For the Eternity and Beyond~! <<less
