Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Description

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

All Chu Lian had done was to read a book where the female lead had cheated on her wonderful husband. While wondering why, before she knew it, she was waking up in the body of that very same female lead!

Wait, did that mean the handsome husband from the book was hers now? Chu Lian decided to welcome him with open arms!

However, what she got wasn’t the kind husband she had been expecting. Instead, his personality seemed to have been completely flipped! He left her all alone on their wedding night… and just five days into their marriage, her dear husband abandoned his loving wife and left to enlist in the army!

Fine! Be that way! She could pass her days perfectly well somehow, even if she had to do it alone!

Chu Lian put her household in order, charmed the rest of her new family, and did a little business on the side. She even opened up some new trade routes! Her days passed peacefully and leisurely… Until her dear husband got into trouble at the frontline of the war.

Hmph, isn’t he crawling back to me for help in the end? Forget it, I’ll go save him myself!

One of the main reasons why I enjoy the novel is because the characters Chu Lian (MC) and Changdi (ML) have strong personalities. The MC shows how independent she can be, her world doesn't fall apart just because she doesn't have a man by her side. While for the ML, it's understandable why he acts the way he does due to misunderstandings. This leads to a slow paced romance, but for this novel it fits in perfectly with the plot. I can't wait to see when the ML finally becomes... more>> sweeter to the MC.

As someone who absolutely loves to eat, the numerous amounts of food MC makes causes me to crave frequently. I feel eager to read more about what types of food she would prepare, the way the food gets describe I can imagine myself as one of the side characters drooling by her side.

Spoiler

Her friendship with Princess Duanjia is very adorable. In the world, there aren't many that the MC can truly call a friend, so having such a person by her side is a wonderful thing.

It's a bit slow compared to other novels, but I think the story is good so far. I love how the MC conquers everyone and everything with her food. At first, when the plot had stuff about food, I thought it was weird and out of place. But now I LOVE the chapters where they mention her cooking because it's interesting to see how everyone falls in love with it and how she can make the circumstances change. I also think that the food has a comedic aspect to it... more>> since everyone who eats it instantly becomes a foodie. I also enjoy reading the comments at the end of the chapter by other readers, asking for more food chapters. <<less

This novel is good! The main protagonist is carefree and just want a peaceful life while eating delicious food. She doesn't have the attitude that most main protagonist in a Chinese novel has, which is thinking all about revenge.

Spoiler

And its quite hilarious to see Chu Lian's servants reaction every time Chu Lian cooks.

I would prefer to give this novel a 4.5/5 if such were possible. The concept is unique, the characters are enjoyable, and the pacing is steady. My only problem thus far is the distinct lack of romance after 90 chapters, but the comedic misunderstandings between the MC and male lead make for an enjoyable read none the less. I'm looking forward to reading what happens next.

I intend to update this review in another 90 chapters or so.

I give this novel 5 stars because I had fun reading it... The interaction between the Female lead and Male lead is really funny at first then very sweet later on... At first you will be disappointed with the Male lead cuz he was angry with the Female lead because of what happened in his past life... But after He realized that The Female lead is different from his 1st life and how she is very good to him... He will treat her like a Queen... I love how the... more>> Male lead gets very possessive of her that he even gets jealous with her female friends.. lol I recomend this novel. :) <<less

You can follow the logic of characters but it doesn't reduce the frustration you would probably feel towards the ML, because the author did such a good job to help you emphasize with MC

Initially, the characters are so frustrating since they keep having misunderstandings towards the other (mainly the male) however, that's all going to be gone later in the novel (I just know, it's that feeling).

Anyway, the main part is... there's just a good amount of food talk in there *drooling* seriously, it's so good :D

Spoiler

It's actually really funny when the husband actually tries some of the wanton breakfast meal she makes (or directed her maids to make since they won't let her make it herself) and ends up eating more than half of her breakfast. It's funny because she made that for herself and not for him to eat lol

I just feel that this is going to be a really cute story later on :D <<less

At chapter 40:

not enough chapters to determine whether this is one hell of a good novel or just so-so. But kudos for the unique plot. Just a little bit miffed that the MC is too soft. The ML is also hateful but I guess I can understand why that is. In the future, I want to see him grovel. A lot. Also, amazing translation team!! Thanks for giving us a new novel to read.

At ch190, the story is a bit bland. It feels like everyobe is after the MC.... more>> And though she fights back, the anger that you felt because of the villains will be amplified because of the MC. She sucks at fighting back. Plus after having spent some time in this world/time, she doesn't understand the value of her recipes. Seriously, its frustrating to see her being taken advantage of. <<less

It's very brand new. I've never read a novel that had the same concept as this, so when I saw the title, my interest was greatly piqued. The female lead is a foodie. She doesn't care about the ML, but she also doesn't hate him. The interactions between the MC and the ML can be hilarious sometimes. Though I'm waiting for the ML to open up to the MC, but that's probably going to take a while because of the things in the past. If you're interested in foodies, misunderstandings,... more>> and a bit of drama, then this novel would be quite enjoyable for you. <<less

Well I kinda pity the original host. Like I always do with transmigration stories. Things are hard for women in ancient times, how can she reject marriage with this guy who has such high position, she doesn't even have a mother as backer, even if she was already in love with someone else, she just can't....

Maybe like she could fake her death and become a commoner or something using a money she stashed.

Yes, she cheated on him and used him in her past life but it is all because of the status of women in old times I think..

Who would want to marry someone they don't love...

Like men can have 381919 wives but if a woman cheats on single guy it is death for her in those times....

So sad.

Can't relate so I feel pity for og host, her life was really hard in her maiden house now, no mother, a father who doesn't care, a grandfather who doesn't care, plotting sisters and cousins, so hard

The plot is not bad, the writing stile is alright too. My main problem is just how much the novel focuses on the romance element. It feels like the book was intended for female readers.

I wrapped up this novel a while back and, while it held my enjoyment, there's a definite shadow of misogyny hanging over it. Don't get me wrong, I adored the cooking scenes, watching folks getting enchanted by MC's 'innovative' (for ancient times, though these recipes exist today), and her journey from restaurants to hotels. The whole business, culinary arts, and the amazing people involved were a total thrill. Boredom? Zero, zilch, nada.

But now comes the sticky bit – the story's got some major turn-offs, including the unfortunate habit of belittling... more>> lower-class people, especially women. Cue the cringe-worthy moments with female servants throwing themselves at noble-born men. I mean, it's almost comical how often this happens. Granted, it's wrong, but let's not forget these ladies are in dire straits. They're slogging day and night at their masters' beck and call, a constant specter of potential abuse hanging over them.

Sure, they're not blessed like our MC, who lucked out with her noble family and dodged the whole concubine drama. But hang on, there's more – MC takes her two female servants to revive the appetite of an old nobleman. When she jets off, one servant decides to stay behind and gets entangled in a web of chaos. The outcome? Tragedy, but the writing seems to want us to relish in her downfall. It's a whole lot of misogyny that leaves you scratching your head.

And oh, MC, seriously? There's a moment where she mouths off something a modern 21st-century city girl shouldn't be saying. Ancient times' preference for boys over girls is well-known, yet here she is taunting her dad for not having sons. It's like, what? It's a puzzling contrast with her supposedly modern values.

And don't even get me started on the sister-in-law and grandma. The author seemed to give them the short end of the stick, portraying them in a not-so-flattering light. There's a lot to unpack here, and it's not always a pretty picture. <<less

Hmmm, I'm disliking the ML a lot even though I understand why he's behaving that way. But he's so freaking petty! It's super annoying to read about him. Kinda lost my interest.

i have mixed feelings about this. While it was a really enjoyable read, and I was entertained enough to read up to the very last chapter, I feel as though there were some aspects of the novel that really could have been done better.

the food p*rn and mc's management of a restaurant were interesting and her character was quite likable. Mary sue-ish but not over the top. Some people have said in other reviews that her being physically weak was disappointing but it's reasonable, she's healthy and able to do... more>> like, basic horseriding and self defense, and thats more than enough as a noble lady who isnt going off to become an assassin, lol. Also on the food p*rn: if youre considering reading this, the food will NOT disappoint I promise it's amazing.

the transmigrator AND reincarnator aspect was very, very fun and made especially the beginning chapters super entertaining. I think that once ML acknowledged he liked her, he also became quite a nice character. The ending chapters were especially satisfying, considering
Spoiler

how the original chu lian also showed up and was dealt with. It was very exciting. I also REALLY liked that the main couple acknowledged that they had communication issues and took steps to try to resolve it.

[collapse]

however I think the author could have handled the ML and some other side characters better.

ml:

Spoiler

the first meeting between the ML and MC is ML strangling her because he thinks shes the original chu lian. Ok, an understandable reaction, it absolutely makes sense, but it really soured their later interactions in my eyes, especially since MC continued to treat him reasonably well and he remained a Really Big A*shole. Then again later when he falls in love with her and wants to make love to her, and keeps going despite her saying no. Sir you held it in for hundreds of chapters you can hold it for a few more, yk? It really annoyed me.

[collapse]

other side characters:

Spoiler

all her maids apart from one being corrupt and thinking of either leaving MC or becoming husbands concubine? It got irritating. And I also think madam zhou could have had a really nice character arc with her maybe developing her own talents or shining despite chu lian's other achievements. Instead we have her turning crazy and into a villain. Imo disappointing, but I suppose its to be expected with this sort of novel.

[collapse]

overall id rate this somewhere between 3.5 and 4, a good read, interesting and fun. <<less

ILOVEDIT! After being put off by negative reviews for a long time, I finally decided to read TMR and do not regret it. The ML's initial hatred towards FL and the FL's dream of living a lazy life was understandable and it was lovely to see them both evolve as a couple.
Spoiler

I was disappointed when the granny turned against FL tho

[collapse]

Overall a fun read where everyone had their HEA. Everyone except for the villains of course ;)

Half way trough the story remind of another novel called Feng Yin Tian Xia. They both similar if you into an ancient time drama, misunderstanding, couple, and tell mostly their personality.

This novel is about a girl transmigrated into novel she half way reading. She doesn't know her husband is reincarnation. Mostly the novel is about her as a wife Chu Lina. I like how slice of life it is and detail it is. There's SR and also tell their personality not just the MC and P.

The main point mostly about... more>> her life living with in law. The exciting news she knows how cook. I look up cook/foodie on novelupdates. Some tell how she cook meal and just say the name. Idk why ppl rate bad. You give up in the beginning not half way or end. Yeah, MC is bi polar w/e. He was betrayed by his wife. He's going to be careful around her and watch her action.

Half to the novel ch400. It talk about them. Idk why the people who translate change name for MC husband. I'm confused why. He's name is He Sanlang not He Changdi

chp500 got boring. It more about the MC and P. You find out she a business woman open so many stores. There her husband side family move in. There is one family member change their view about her. Other more family came back. chp600 It tell who her birth mother is and her real birth father is too <<less

I enjoyed reading it. It was translated and felt more like an english novel then a translated chinese novel. I enjoyed most of the characters even if they were just there to progress the story. One of the things I liked about it was that it wasn't a one versus the world type of webnovel then say Surpreme Magus. Characters genuinely cared for each other and it made it a welcomed change that everyone wasn't trying to kill or r*pe the MC that seems to be common in female MC... more>> webnovels. Yes people will complain about the domestic violence and r*pe like scenes. Sure it could've been a bit better written and thought out, but it's a period piece. Relationships were very much like the ones written in the webnovel. I'm not going accept modern views on relationships in a webnovel that closely follows ancient china.

The reason I rated it low 3 stars was due to the ending. It felt really rushed and like a big f*ck you to the readers that made it to the end. I'll explain in the spoilers. Other then the quality slipping near the end, the plot was good and enjoyable up to that point.

Spoiler

I really hated the end. The time skips were the sign of the webnovel's quality going down. It almost felt more like a long narration about an event rather then a story at that point. It was just so unsatisfying. They finally realize that the other has transmigrated or reincarnating and all we get is a tiny paragraph saying how it didn't matter who they were in the past. Just felt like an author that gave up.

Light and fun but has some problems. If you're reading this for the romance pack up and read something else because its appalling.

I really enjoyed the first half of the story and how the main character made a life for herself.

The middle however and the romance portion was disappointing. The story is written to be fairly light and is obviously intended for younger readers. The big issue with that is that the ML is not someone to be idolised or desired and the MC never bats an eye. Domestic violence?... more>> MC carries on as normal. Extreme jealously/lack of communication/emotional abuse? Oh he's just a lunatic and the MC doesn't even consider her options. Of course there's the "usual" business of every time the ML is intimate with the MC he bruises her and leaves her sore and the MC is crying and screaming that she doesn't want to (to the point her maids are going to go in and beat up the ML). I know that its supposed to signal that the MC is virtuous but its so over the top that it goes into a whole other territory. The icing on the cake is when we hear about how she's so cute and small on the ML's lap that she's like his daughter. Then within a page they're getting intimate. I get that the author is going for an emotionally unavailable male lead who gets transformed by the sweet purity of the main character, but it just fell into a whole other category of wtf for me.

The MC is a Mary Sue - she's travelled everywhere in the world ate all the delicious food and knows how to make it and despite all this experience she's completely inexperienced and a virg*n. She's sweet and lovely and her fatal flaw is that she likes to sleep and not to scheme. I get it if its a purely light read but then its out of place with some of the actions of the ML.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way - the rest is not too bad. I love the dish desciptions, and I like that the MC just doesn't care about some things (doesn't try to verbally spar her opponents into the dust). I really enjoyed the premise of a trasmigrator meeting a reincarnator. I thought it was well translated (and I would like to say a huge thank you to the translator for slogging through to the end!) I'll probably read to the end just to find out what happens with the plot (which is really picking up and is interesting). I will be skipping all the "romance" though. <<less

I loved this novel! It was an interesting concept, with even more interesting MC and ML.

And I have to say, I don’t understand why some ppl have problems with ML's trust issues. I mean, if you've been driven out, with your whole family ruined, by a greedy evil biatch, who even cheated on you and used you, I'm impressed the ML didn’t choke MC on their wedding night upon seeing "her" again. The way he was making his escape is way too tolerant, and it just helps them to later... more>> get their relationship better. And in the while we can see how capable our cute MC is. Maybe she's a bit Mary Sue-ish, but I like them this way :D

I have no problem with their s*x life, she's shy even though she made up her mind, and just needs a bit of pushing. She's openminded for these things, but even in the 21th century, girls tend to be shy, aren't they? I think everyone was shy at first, no matter how many p. Rn or h. Ntai they watched/read, when you are doing it with a living person, you're just shy and insecure about your body and inexperience.

So I recommend it! And its even fully translated, with great quality. There were maybe a little flaws in the story, but not much plot armor, its 5/5 for me. <<less
