Description

Zhao Yelan was born as a criminal s*ave and was rescued by the Third Prince. After years of painstaking efforts to put him on the throne, Zhao Yelan became a sycophantic minister whom everyone detested, but he was actually given a marriage by that person to general Yan Mingting, the lone star of Tiansha.

The general caused the death of his own father, his mother, his wife, and his dog. Everyone hoped that the curse would also kill Zhao Yelan as soon as possible.

On the wedding night, Zhao Yelan, who was dressed in red, took out a dagger, his eyes sharp: “What do you want?”

Yan Mingting held his hand tightly, and borrowed his dagger to carve a large character on the head of the bed – – Early.

“You’re weak and frail, get up early every day and practice horse stance with me!”

“?”

The common people thought this marriage was truly wonderful!

They heard that this big minister was beaten every day. He had to repair the roof tiles when the house leaked and also work in the kitchen. He served his husband and was very obedient, and from then on, he didn’t dare condemn people.

Hey, the general was truly mighty!

Zhao Yelan sat lazily by the bed, playing with the dagger, and raised the ends of his eyes slightly: “Where did these rumors come from?”

“From my dog mouth.” Yan Mingting, who was in horse stance, patted his thigh. “Madam, please take the seat of honor. You don’t have to get up early tomorrow.”

I enjoyed this novel a lot. MC, Zhao Yelan, has led a harsh life. Even though he seems sinister, he tends to put others first. This causes him to play the role of bad cop so others can be the good cop. It's a good thing that he was forced to marry ML, Yan Mingting. Although ML is a general, his heart is pure. He sees through MC's scheme and doesn't let MC mistreat himself. He dotes on MC, wanting MC to be happy.

At first I didn't wanna read this... more>> since I thought MC had loved the emperor and was wronged by him. But MC never loved the emperor and misled the emperor to think that he did.

The writing was good, with a happy ending. I read it all but only scanned the extras concerning the alternate universe extra. Alternate universe scenarios normally aren't "relevant" so I only do a look-see in case there's something worthwhile... in this case it didn't seem so.

Spoiler

ML had come back to the capital to investigate his father's mu*der. Although he was reported as dying in battle, he was actually poisoned. After MC and ML become closer, ML confides to MC. MC helps ML and they narrow down the suspects.

MC's parents were killed by the late emperor when he was a child. His parents were commoners and good people. They had rescued someone once but got implicated because that person had rebelled against the late emperor. After his parents died in prison, MC was branded and sold as a s*ave. The emperor was the one who bought MC.

SPOILER...

The mu*derer is actually the first prince. He used to be the crown prince and colluded with another country to poison ML's dad. He was wary of ML's family siding with the emperor (who was the third prince at that time).

it's fun. ML is incredibly charming, straightforward, and sincere. He's a good fit for the MC who's very scheming and is very used to deceits. The politics parts are quite interesting. It's quite rare to see a story between an emperor and his subject of the same age, usually the emperor will be a generation older. Here we got to see how an emperor treat his talented, loyal subject who helped him usurp the throne. Mc's reputation was bad, but his talent was undeniable. So the emperor married him into... more>> ml's family. I quite like how subtly cunning the emperor is. He knows well that MC is such a refined and fussy person, + wen and wu officials are known to not get along with each other, yet he still married MC off into ml's family (appeasing the court and the people, yet there's an obvious hint that he doesn't want MC and ML to have a happy married life), taking away most of mc's power but still be able to keep MC by his side by putting him in hanlin. Idk, I think it's kind of fun how he loves MC but not enough to choose him over the throne. <<less

It was not perfect, but still very very good. The ML was a cutie, and though MC was not a good guy I did not hate him cz this was the only way for him to survive. Recommend

(♡ ὅ ◡ ὅ) ʃ♡ Very nice story! Just go for it and read!

The Meng-Ming couple is the sweetest. A very satisfying read and there's also an alternate story/ending, the "what if...", of course I prefer the original one. The alternate story is good too but there's a lot of unanswered questions, but it's not a big deal and there's also angst which I really don't mind.

Special shout out to xiao Gao and housekeeper Qin, and to the lieutentants that are very close to General Yan! They helped the... more>> story becomes funnier and more interesting.

Last but not the least, thank you to the author for sharing this novel and to the translator/editor for making this novel possible for non-chinese reader like me. <<less

LOVE THIS.

Good mix of politics, romance, sticky hubby, cold hubby, not so cold when they both get together, bringing out the best of each other.

Basically it’s a love for me.

I don’t know how I came across this Gem of a novel. I just had to pass-by and say this was so good. Initially I too thought why is the ML clingy and forceful but hell noo. He is just another green flag bearer. He understood the MC especially his character and knew what he had to do to make him open up to the world he had once closed his heart too. He healed him without even trying a lot. This really is among one of the best BLs... more>> I’ve ever read. It will have to squeeze into my best green flag 5 danmei MLs. Anyways I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants something with a mixture of good emotions. It ain’t too angsty or too funny but just balanced well. Very Good Novel. <<less

The main leads are perfect for each other. I like the pacing and how angst in most parts but sweet. What I like about this story are how the author didnt neglect the side characters. They had attitude and made the whole story alive. Though the end was rushed but I already enjoy the first and middle which were the best part of the story. ML was such a green flag throughout the story.💕 MC was so lucky to have him as husband and partner for life.

I totally love this novel. I really like strong MC. The ML is also adorable and strong. They are match made by heaven.

I like that the side characters are very supportive. Even the emperor is somewhat likeable.

nearing the end! I can't help but make a review earlier since the majority of the plot has been read..

comments about the side characters that made an impression on me first

best boys for me:

... more>> gao tan & li yucheng!

gao tan is naive, innocent, and LOYAL

li yucheng.. Well, he's li yucheng hehe. For the first part he seemed to he a passing cannon fodder, but he became good friends with the MC due to his persistence! And he had a good character development, too! Sometimes, I think about nhs when I read li yucheng. 😅 sun muyun

is me when I see two handsome men together 😅

ruan xuan, wang guisheng, kan chuan

it's nice to have plenty of honest people as civil officials in this kind of setting

the ML's troops/friends

they were welcoming of the MC which was nice

zhao xuan

it's nice to have a well-intentioned emperor who is not the main character

Spoiler

it's just a bit sad that he died in just a few years

[collapse]

the plot, the MC, the ml:

it has nice character developments, has great timing on when to insert the back stories. And the back stories may have a bit of angst, but not that much. Just enough to sting but will then make you recover.

i really like smart, black bellied, MCs. As well as those who can kill without twitching. 😅 the ML is like a giant playful dog. While the MC is like a giant delicate, moody cat. Hehe.

this novel made me skip some run days and study times. <<less

Loved the storyline... loved the dynamics between the MC and the ML.... they were a power couple... loved their relationship... loved the story with a few twists in between... although I would say the last 6 extras showcasing a parallel timeframe, I can see our MC doing it and I don't blame him... but still the ML went through hell... ultimately its HEA so its fine.. the translation by Neon Dragonfly is awesome... thanking the author and the translator for bringimg us tis piece of gem💎🙏.

This was so good. From the character development to the plot events to the pacing and to the translation... worthy of 5/5.

Many times while reading, I felt amazed that I could enjoy it for FREE. The quality was so good that it triggered in me the primal urge to throw money at something beautiful. (Too bad I'm currently broke.)

Definitely a story to remember. Even the side characters felt so alive.

Aside from the character development, my favorite part is how the author unveiled things to readers without having to explain... more>> anything. A superb example of "show, not tell". It made everything so engaging and it was easier to feel invested in the lives and deaths of the characters, not just the main leads but of the side characters' as well.

When you truly break it down, there isn't actually a lot of action nor intrigue in this novel. But because the execution of ideas was so good and so clean, each chapter was interesting.

The romance part was also so nicely done! <<less

Great novel with very interesting, 3d characters and world development. My only gripe is the alternative ending extras; when we've already read the perfect ending, this sadder, less satisfying ending was a bit of a disappointing way to leave the beautiful world the author created.

However, the main story and all the other extras were perfect. I fell in love with the characters, especially the MC. He's such an interesting personality - conniving and distrustful, cruel yet not abusive, ambitious yet happy to step down. The ML was a bit of... more>> a puppy-dog figure, but in a satisfying way. I love the slow, realistic relationship development between the two characters. You see how they slowly win each other over - first as strategic partners, and then as romantic ones. It's almost a perfect foil for the MC and the emporer if the emporer wasn't restricted by his responsibility to the country.

Another part I found satisfyingly realistic was how difficult it was for the two to start having satisfying physical relationships. It's funny how many romances portray interc**rse as the pinnacle of relationship development, and as a physical manifestion of the characters' love. It works perfectly and both are left mind blown on the first attempt. I think the way this novel portrays first times provides a more realistic alternative. It can be awkward, unequally satisfying, and confusing. If it's not perfect at first, that says nothing about the strength of the love or the relationship. If the partners care for each other, they'll try and improve so that it's satisfying for both people.

Finally, the mystery and plot in this novel is well-paced, and the slow reveal of back story mimics how people get to know each other in real life. <<less

Angsty but im willing to be hurt to read the sweetness and their love :") The MC's past was really too heartwrenching and im so glad that he now has the ML to stand by him and to love him. I also love how the ML does not trust rumors about the MC much but instead his own judgement.

Im also vvvvvvv glad that the new emperor Zhao Xuan is not a bad person :") at some point of time I was really expecting him to turn evil and try to separate them or something but im glad that it didnt happen.

I loved it so much. The story is so engaging & fast paced. Also the MC & mls development of their relationship was so steady & natural. Loved how they both naturally co-existed with totally different personalities. (I hope y'all get what im saying, im very bad at English, sorry!)

One of the best historical Cnovel I've read. Totally recommended.

One of the most underrated and one of the best historical danmei I've read in a while! The MC and the ML are strong in their own unique ways and are easily a power pack couple. The overall plotline is also great, nothing too complex or boring, just the perfect mix of politics, angst and love.

The translation is absolutely perfect, a big thanks to the translator for this!

First of all THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR TRANSLATING THIS GEM!

MC and ML🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘 they are the one of the best, if not THE best BL couple I ever read!

Supporting characters are also great! not boring side stories at all.

... more>> in my opinion Emperor isn't bad. he didn't want to send MC to a far away city and he definitely didn't want to kill him! so came up with the marriage.

I think emperor always loved MC. but as emperor himself said he's selfish. he could never love someone enough to give up his Throne. emperor cares for MC. he never hurt him.

now back to MC and ML. the way they fell in love🥰 I LOVE ml's clingy behavior! ML melted our MC's cold heart to the point, spoiler.......

Spoiler

MC was all prepped to die after ml's death. he even wrote his will😭. luckily ML didn't die and they lived happily ever after!❤️

Light novels. In the early stages the conflict looks serious but as the plot progresses it is resolved lightly and it is fun to read because it warms the heart. MC is not a good person but not completely bad, ML and MC are two opposite people but compatible. I think their interaction is quite realistic between partners, one of them doesn't fully give in and change habits for the sake of the other but makes compromises to live together. A novel that I will probably read again and again.

I have read till chapter 49 so far, and I am very grateful to the translator for translating this gem so well. I'm really enjoying it so far, it's been a pleasure to read. I haven't found a good novel to read in a long time. but then I found this. and this is very satisfying, very good, very good, very good. good things must be said three times. I love that MC and ml, they are so cute and sweet together. MC may look a bit mean but actually... more>> he's cute and for ML I like him a lot, his behavior really won't fail to make people like him... trust me you won't regret reading this, you will quickly sink into his story... every chapter it will get more and more interesting... the writer must be smart...

I love how both searched for light and eventually become the light in their life

{They are just candles to me now, because..... I haven’t been afraid of the dark since we married. That is to say, I found a new light, and he is brighter and more eternal.”- MC }

I love how both trusted and communicated with each other without any drama

... more>> ML is whole Amazon forest. He know when to take action and to retreat. MC had the best charector development here

And I loved when they faced their continued aging life together wholeheartedly

Don’t be afraid of gray hairs. Just think of it as snow that the gods sprinkled onto our heads.”- ML] <<less

Favourite!

There is enough depth to the characters to make it enjoyable. I liked the chemistry between the two leads and how they slowly warmed up to each other. The back and forth bickering is not as witty as some I've read before but still very good and funny/fluffy.

There is enough politics and backstory to keep it going and make it interesting, but it felt like the main part of it was the romance between the two, which is what I like the most, haha. Romance-led stories.

Although the historical setting/emperor aspect... more>> felt lacking in impact (like the palace intrigues/politics/power struggle did not feel like it really mattered... e.g. there was hardly any respect or power boundaries between the emperor and MC), it kind of worked for this novel's setting and tone. It made it a mostly feel-good type of smooth sailing novel (although there were also some bumps along the way, but not too serious).

The tension at certain parts was very nice, I felt dread and worry and that slight stomach tingle which is always a good indication. The fluff and dog food that comes after is also very satisfying. Didn't cry or feel angsty at some of the depressing backstories, but it was enough to get me invested in the characters.

Would definitely re-read. <<less
