But why does the supporting male lead look at her with increasingly odd eyes? And what of that Wulin Alliance Head with the personality disorder? You’re just a random bystander, what are you getting involved for??

There has beeen so many amazing plot lines in this story! All the suporting male leads are lovable and the male lead powerful. But what draws youto the storythe most is the fact that the femalelead is skillful, quick witted, beautiful, and talented someone who I wish to be. Its only a couple chapters from ending and im crying.

It was really good in the first 100 chapters, but after a while it got a little... meh. The chapter I'm currently reading is so boring. I love the MC. She's like a daughter, but the plot is geting sour. We barely know anything about anyone other than her, even the ML is kind of unknown to us. Dropped. Sorry, not sorry.

The basic premise is cute, but very early on (sub 50 chapters I'd say), it becomes very obvious what the canon result would be at the end of the novel so it loses quite a bit of unpredictability. That said, it's still a pretty fun read that focuses on a pretty obvious gimmick but one that isn't often used in novels.

That said, it relies a bit on the setting to really work, the protagonist's constant worry grates on the reader's nerves, but given the insight of characters around the ML... more>> (primarily his mother to be honest...), the social status aspect and her actions take on a more understandeable nature, albeit still stifling/annoying due to clashes with modern day values.

All in all, it's a fun ride, although it feels slow since there's small surprises plot wise, but the ending just rears it's head too early on.

Edit: the writing takes a nosedive in terms of believability for the last 30-40 chapters (not that it was particularly realistic to begin with) but the overall rating doesn't change.

It's a really decent read :3 <<less

I'm utterly confused on how this novel is getting such a high rating. Tarroyn hit the nail with his/her review, but I'll just add my own perspective. I'm on chapter 47, which is more than enough to establish a real story or a lot of worldbuilding, but it has done neither. It's simply a story of misunderstandings without comedy or action to support it. The romance is just s*upid because the characters are written to be purposely obtuse. I thought it'd be like I am a superstar (before it went... more>> to racist shit), but it's not funny at all.

Don't get deceived by the NU rating. This novel is nowhere deserving the rating it gets. <<less

This is the first CN I read and I love it. The story is slow but it does not tires me out. Especially that the author introduces new male supporting characters that keep the plot interesting. And the protagonist is ony a sub-chara, a concubine, with this situation there will be a lot of conflicts.. May it be in a political or social levels.

COMPLETED

This novel's romance is really down to earth. You can actually feel what our female protagonist is feeling and the love connection between her and male lead, albeit slow. I love and hate the interactions between her and the male lead of the story. At times, he can be sweet, but then later he's turns into a dude that doesn't understand people's feelings. Sometimes, I think he's just not good at expressing his feelings towards the female protagonist (FP), other times he can be pretty good to the FP.

... more>>
Spoiler

In the latest chapter that I read, the male lead actually wanted to marry someone else as his official wife because of the emperor's decree and he expects the FP to understand him and still love him. Later, he had the guts to expect her to throw a tantrum so that he may feel loved due to FP acting out due to jealousy. This is totally the fault that the FP is a concubine. So sad, at one point the FP thought he wouldn't marry the official wife (miss Lin).

[collapse]

Spoiler

This is a transmigrator, romantic, slice of life story set in a novel with ancient China as the theme. The FP was reading the novel before she was transmigrated 'into' it, except our FP has a talking cactus that only she can listen to, so she uses that to listen on other people's conversation via the child cactus that's in the radius of the speakers.

[collapse]

If you're looking for a novel where the FP is sometimes easy-going, smart, an actor, brave, funny, a little naive in love and where the male lead is just like an alpha male that's also a little naive in love, but loves the FP and is having a bit of trouble expressing it, which can be funny sometimes, then you should definitely try this novel. <<less

The novels is so light and fluffy that it makes it so easy to continue on reading without noticing the chapters are slowly disappearing. Chapters are rather sort (compared to other novels I read) so it isn't hard to catch up to the latest chapter updates.

It would be nice to see more female companions for BXX that aren't her maids. But we have gone this far in and no good ones have appeared yet. This novel would also be one of the novels where I don't have second lead syndrome.

I... more>> recommend this novel for those who want a lighthearted read, you will get s**ked into the world of talking cacti and a MC who believes herself to be cannon fodder no matter how much time seems to pass... hopefully she eventually realises she isn't just "cannon fodder" but the MC of the show!

P.S. Somehow cacti can be rather cute for some reason... Huo'er really is the star of the show XD <<less

The main character for this novel is so cute! But at the same time...

... more>>
Spoiler

I applauded the author for making the normally hated weak, damsel in distress type female MC (I won't say female lead because then it'll get BXX confused with LQZ) less likely to be hated and ten times more adorable by making the female lead, LQZ, more annoying. (I would say a million but she was already cute in the silly, clutzy, slightly kiddy, small animal-y way) At the same time the FMC isn't completely weak, it just takes 130 chapters to prove it. The ML is so lovely too... bashful, dominating, awkward, possessive and determined to be gentler just for our FMC who can't go 10 chapters without at least 10 injuries and 20 misunderstandings. The FL isn't totally loathesome but you get the 'What the hell are you doing?!' or 'is she s*upid or what?' kind of thoughts. If you like this one then in some ways it's similar to Demonic King Chases His Wife, only I think BXX is less annoying then SL (at least SL before chapter 1180+), it's japanese counterpart would have to be Record of a Self Proclaimed Villainess' Fiance and I reincarnated into an otome game's villainess with only destruction flags.

[collapse]

Main point is, if you like a puffy female main character, dominant but awkward male lead and a lot of comical misunderstandings then this is the novel for you! It's one of my favourites, so I highly recommend it. <<less

This novel is so much fun to read and updates so quickly. I have to check back everyday for new chapters because you just want to know what's going on. It's not overly full or repetitive like other stories it's unique and fresh because the real MC of our story thinks she's just a side character. There is no overpowered rewards for her migrating which makes it interesting to find out how she's going to deal with many situations.

This is such an amazing, awesome, beautiful, funny (insert a lot of adjectives) story. It's a fun story, where I have to refresh my reading list, in order to see if it updated.

The "mob" protagonist is so dense, frail and super duper misunderstood that she unconsciously became the female lead of the story.???

Anyway, I totally recommend this for all those likes a silly female lead and troubled virg*n male lead (that doesn't know how to...?). And ofcourse, the confused second male lead, with other flies that swarm around our "mob"... more>> protagonist. <<less

WARNING FLUFF overdose! most probably due to the low EQ of a lot of the characters and a lot of misunderstandings but the novel is not lacking in fluff at all !

It's not the typical transmigration story that we are familiar with. The MC is an actual normal person who transmigrates. She isn't OP, not in the typical sense. Her help is not some legendary creature or divine space but an actual * le gasp* spoiler.The male lead isn't the typical cold hearted male lead as well. He is... more>> quite adorable kuudere. Everyone has the typical mindset of the ancient times so as a modern person with modern thoughts, you might get a bit uncomfortable at some points (a very small amount of points though). I would like to warn you that the romance is slow going because the MC is D.E.N.S.E as hell. She gets scared too easily and has little to no interest in believing that the ML might have some feelings for her instead of the original female lead inspite of the lead female and ML being at odds with each other. The lady doesn't seem to understand her presence itself has made the world drastically different from the original story of the novel she transmigrates into. She is adorable though. And too delicate. And really really frustrating. She is the type of person I would enjoy reading about in novels but rather not meet in real life bacuse they are always s*upidly troublesome. You'll understand if you read the novel. The characters the well developed and not one dimensional. No ' villian' yet... Kinda.

The best thing about this novel (aside from the amazing translators) are the fans. They are so done with the MCs denseness and the constant c***blocking of the the ML that to vent their frustration they have resorted to leaving hilarious fanfics as reviews. Really worth a read (even if the the denseness and the slow romantic progress can make you want to tear your hair out at times). <<less

I love everythimg about this novel so far. The cactus thing was a little mystery but the plot and the characters were solid. The misunderstanding was hilarious and the MC was amazingly crazy, it'll surely make you laugh. Her attempt to be a plain, no presence second female character to survive totally backfires. ?? Totally recommended.

This is a pretty unique transmigration. Getting prick by a cactus while reading her favorite novel only to end up in it as the seemingly unfavored consort of the prince Li a notorious brutal military man strict and staunch who disdain women for their scheming nature.

The novel is so good that you wont want it to end.

The protagonist is not like any other that quickly adjusts to seeing women beaten to death and does not have the adept ways of other heroine who transmigate to the ancient from modern day... more>> in fact she panic at times since she is not used to the ancient lifestyle and does not know much of how to scheme. All she's got going is her diligent nature in making it alive and going back to her time. The only possible way is gettting the female lead of her favorite novel and the prince Li to fall in love fast and not die as she predicts. <<less

This story is very amusing. ?? The MC transmigrated, but she isn't like those normal heroines who were always right in their decisions. It's amusing to see her reaction when she realizes that she made the wrong decision.

The MC transmigrated inside a book, and she's desperately trying to hook up with the supporting ML because she's afraid of the ML. However her actions led to where the ML falls in love instead! Hahaha! ?

As much as I like this story, it's also just a bit annoying. The male lead obviously likes the MC, but she continues to be terrified at every single moment that he's in the room. Also, she's so fragile that she seems to get hurt at EVERY chapter.

This is reminding me all those japan villainess noble girl reincarnation but instead the Chinese version.

It's full of funny moment and fluff.

The male lead is so tsudere that even the servant and other don't know that he really love the female lead. Hell even his closest friend did not see that!

... more>> So you can't say the female lead is dense like those jap novel.

And female lead, you can say that she almost seem clever when determine to carry favor with someone. But mostly she clueless and a truly innocence in some area.

And hell the cliff is real in this novel. I almost die of waiting for the next chapter! <<less

A funny read. If you're tired of typical 'arrogant assassin/doctor transmigrates into a peerless cheat' stories, give this one a try. Like My Disciple Died Yet Again, this is transmigration of a fairly ordinary woman into unusual circumstances.

The cast of characters she interacts with is kept fairly small, with sufficient descriptions to tell you who others (such as servants, friends of characters, etc.) are. The story is light and has plenty of misunderstandings. It's far from a serious read, but not a waste of time.

As a side note, the synopsis... more>> seems to have some things mixed up, unless it's describing much farther into the plot. <<less

This is the type of tr*shy junk food novel that you know isn't that good for you but really hits the spot when you're craving that particular type of turn-your-brain-off entertainment. There's drama, there's comedy, there's juicy scandal & romance - just don't think about it too hard & enjoy the fun car crash. The MC is just trying to survive by any means possible, and those means just happen to be hilarious.

3/5. Too many supporting characters and love interests. Very skewed morals. No clear reasoning and bg for characters on how they act. Main leads have v poor communication. Too many loose strings. I cannot feel any romance. Author really bad at making u root for any character. Plot armour intensifies. Cant seem to want to finish this story bc I dont care anymore.
