During their childhood when they were neighbors, Xie Zhen always bullied Li Yu.

Who told him to be as beautiful as a girl?

After parting for many years, they met again in the capital. With a tall stature and heroic bearing, he seemed like a completely different person.

Not only that, but his identity had also risen to that of the sixth prince.

Hearing he wanted to marry her, Xie Zhen was almost scared silly:

What’s his intention? Taking revenge on her?

Initially was a relatively good story with cute interactions between the MC and ML, but as the story progressed and it got to the point where they've "grown up", their relationship is anything but endearing. It's expected that their attitudes and the way they hold themselves to change with age, but possessiveness and jealousy at every turn doesn't make for a relationship I like to see. Especially after their reunion of so many years of them apart, ML was so forceful with his behavior towards the MC that I nearly... more>> dropped the story there and then. Things said when they were still children being brought up when they should've matured already and leading to further misunderstandings. I had a lot of expectations, but was sorely disappointed. <<less

I will not be giving any rating to this..I am only 6 chapters in. However, I have some expectations from the story the way that it is going, and if it manages to, that will make it an easy 5/5.

First off, yes. Early part, it is cute. But no. It is not the adorable kind of cute. I don't know if it is because of the incompetence of the TL (They do a good job so far, actually) or if the other readers missed it, but the 'cute' aspects are... more>> getting way annoying, and forced. It always was. You don't make a cute story out of adjectives which describe the characters like they are albinos. Cuteness comes from the speech and the interactions, and this story is only starting to go that way.

6 chapters in, and I HOPE and pray that this story goes the drama way. It has an ensemble cast with quite a few of them being introduced, and with just these characters and their interactions, I dare say that this can become an absolute gem. Unfortunately, I have seen other reviewers say that this goes the cute path and not the plot/drama path, which would be a shame. I am not saying that this story cannot be a drama and a cute one at the same time. It is just that the author hasn't been able to make this into a 'good' cute story.

What do I mean? Drama wise, this has the potential to be 5/5. Cuteness wise? I would give it a maximum of 3/5.

I hope that I am wrong, and the author actually succeeds in combining them properly. The characters and foundations already layed are quite promising.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, but the romance looks VERY promising as well. It would really go along well with drama. Cuteness? Lets wait and watch. <<less

This is so cute and adorable novel that hooked up. I can't help but yearning for more chapters. I wanted more cute moment of MC and her sister. It's interesting and beautiful novel, it's slice of life genre.

Similar to all the other reviews here, the beginning was absolutely adorable and I love it so so much. However it all went downhill after just a few chapters where the translation went to shit. Like the translation became so horrible that it was obvious the translator just did it through google translate and never bothered to check through. It was hard reading the book with all the wrong pronouns and mistakes.

I did manage to finish the book but I didn’t really actually read the entire book and just skipped... more>> to the last chapter for the happy ending. And yes there is a happy ending.

So on to story, it’s really cute, there was a little bit of character development for the characters. All problems were easily solved. Not much drama. But with the translation and everything being horrid, it got me disinterested pretty quickly and the story soon became bland for me. <<less

*poof* *MiRA appears out of nowhere* *you are in awe*

hi.

so, I read this book because of a recommendation. There is a completed and translated version, but to be straight up honest with y'all, the translation sucks. Why? Probably because they MLT'd it and forgot to edit it. For example: in Chinese, the pronouns he/she/it are all pronounced “tā.” 他 (tā). This is the most frequently used pronoun, so sometimes when referring to a female character, you'll see him or he, instead of she/her, since google translate is a hit-or-miss translator.... more>> For me, the way the book/novel/fanfic is translated can make-or-break my positive experience of that book/novel/fanfic. That's why I took two stars off.

the remaining star was taken because the book was sloppily put together. The idea of the book itself, the characters and whatnot are all pretty similar to what you might've read before, (i.e. Chongfei Manual) but the final product was kinda like what a kid would do, stick all the bits n' pieces together and pray. If you're thinking about reading this novel, read Chongfei Manual first, the plotline is quite similar with a bit more appeal for those who like the "rebirth" category. To be fair, this book is probably the bread-and-butter for most, since there's a solid audience for novels like this, but if you want something fresh, this ain't it for you.

xoxo, MiRA

I guess this is a no for me, at least I tried to read some chapters. Idk why maybe it's just the genre I'm not fond of. What I can say is that this novel doesn't piqued my interest.

4.5/ 5 rating. First time reading historical story. I loved it. Well written story. From childhood to adolescence to adults neatly woven story. I always like when the female lead is active and fast witted. You will love every moment when male lead just pampers her to the most. Even the love story of second and third leads were awesome. While reading you will understand what it is called as caring, pampering and spoiling the loved ones.

This story was short and sweet, endearing in it's own way. The cliches are there and while the drama is predictable, it's far from irritating. Things are dealt with swiftly by the ML who works hard to show his affections for the MC, who hadn't quite accepted him yet.

Our MC is cute and naive; young but smart in handling her surroundings - she's not as s*upid as her personality may assert.

I loved how their relationship bloomed. A 10/10 cute couple. A nice short story that I think many should enjoy.

Side note: I'm slightly disappointed that side stories were never really given closure. <<less

The attitude and character of the characters do not match the actions and statements made about them throughout the novel.

Spoiler

Like when the emperor says that ML is decisive and has a strong character when throughout the novel he was so naive, I think the crown prince and the love rival (Gao Xun) stood out the most: they had more courage, more intelligence, they had more development, but The author left them in the background, she should have made them the protagonists, the circumstances did not suit the main characters very much, you can easily separate them from the intrigues and shorten the story more so that some situations do not feel so forced, such as when Ml. He is facing the first prince, as if it were the most anticipated revenge, I felt that the crown prince should have ended things there instead of Ml, it felt more correct that it was the crown prince than Ml, the relationship between him also feels forced. ML and the crown prince, I don't see how they can get along when the crown prince tried to marry the FL with intrigues, the whole novel until the end wait for the plot twist where the first prince and the crown prince conspired to kill the adoptive fathers of the Ml, it would have made more sense with the character of the crown prince shown throughout the novel, as if he hid his claws from the ML for something he knows, I am also disappointed in the Fl, how he continued to encourage Gao Xun, making him jealous. Ml, ah but when ML did it, no!! He must be punished, he must be treated as a bad man, but when she does it, we all have to be understanding, and in the end, why? So that every person who remembers Gao Xun's FL cries, I felt that there was more to tell between Gao something better, he even blames the ML when the Fl's brother is punished, as if he had something to do with it, they make the FL seem intelligent but without the script on his side he would have finished off her and the whole family a long time ago, I expected more from the secondary couple, from the general's sister and son, but it gave me a feeling of a strange taste towards a child, as if that were good, I became cloying, I liked the dram between brother Xie Rong and Gao Ruyi, a little more mature, there is also the mistake when they punish Xie Rong for not complying with the decree, from then on I knew that the author did not even bother to find out things, at least Xie Rong had to die there

Much like the rest of the reviews, I felt that the beginning was interesting but later on became very "forced".

I disliked the misleading summary as well and thought they would spend more time with each other as children. Turns out she didn't really "bully" him? She doesn't even remember the first time she annoyed the ML. The tsundere side of the ML was a bit too much tbh. He's very forceful and seems to have low EQ. Their misunderstandings got to be a bit too annoying/boring to read as well.... more>> Only in the 50+ chapters did it get better when the MC's mother told the ML to be more honest with the MC.

When reading ancient China novels, I know I have to regard their ages a bit more lenient, but for the MC to marry the ML at the age of 14 even before she got her period is a bit much. The MC's mother didn't even teach her about periods? I find that ridiculous. In most novels, there's usually a momo who'll teach the MC etiquette too and I find this novel to be lacking in proper royal etiquette.

Gao Xun is also very pitiful. Honestly MC's and ML's romance did not feel like childhood romance at all. Gao Xun seems more like a better candidate tbh. Especially with the MC's temperament. Xie Xun and the guy who chased after her also feels more like a perv.

Did not enjoy the story at all. Gave it a 2 since I did manage to go through it.

I think I should avoid stories by this author since I disliked Chongfei Manual too sigh. <<less

I love this novel so far. A refreshing change from all creepy age gap novels where the female lead is 14-15 and is chased and bullied by a male who is at least a decade older and way more worldly wise
Spoiler

(Xie Xun vs Zhong Shuang)

The MAIN couple grow together and nope it's not pedophilia because the translation I'm reading shows two inexperienced teenagers working through their problems and getting familiar with each other physically and emotionally.
Spoiler

For everyone dissing the story for being border pedophilia - it's the sister's story that's creepy.

The Main CP characterisation makes a lot of sense when you put the writing in context of teenagers in love / first love.

Plus point there is not much harem or inner court drama to drag the story down.

Overall a pretty good story to while away your time.

Surprised at the rating actually. First, I thought it's going to be okay. Then it gets more boring then more frustrating. As a general idea of the story, I think it's alright, but for the details? Not so great.
Spoiler

For example, the FL's first menstruation, the girl didn't know a thing. She thought she was injured or sth. Gosh, as a girl with developed (biologically) body, someone should have told her. I mean, there was months before her wedding. As a duke's descendant, even concubine's child wouldn't be that clueless.

[collapse]
There's also no build, considering this is a romance novel. Just some emotionally dense guy and overall dense girl's misunderstanding.
So, like, don't waste your time. It has not been translated that much anyway.

Not voting because I didn’t read very far, but this book is not enjoyable. It’s just cliche and clearly the work of an amateur writer. The protagonist is 5 years old but already so beautiful. Anytime she talks to any character or has any scene they have to mention that she is so beautiful. I’m fact, she’s probably the most beautiful girl in the town (she’s 5 -_-). They go to an event and what do you know everyone can’t help but flocking to her causing another little girl to... more>> get jealous of her beauty. Author can’t write kids well at all and can’t stop stressing how she’s so beautiful to the point that it’s unreadable. Don’t waste your time. <<less

I sincerely enjoy reading this funny and kind of romantic novel. Though the translation is not that good, I've read it three times.

Love reading the relationship & daily interactions between Yan Yu and Xie Zhen, especially when they're young children. Yan Yu is a quiet person while Xie Zhen is very lively and mischievous. They both are complete opposite though they're at the same age.

Yan Yu and Xie Zhen were still teenagers when they got married. They both are immature but they learn quickly and devotedly to love & understand... more>> each other. Each of them knows that they only want each other. They're an adorable and funny couple.

Besides the Yan Yu and Xie Zhen couple, there's this Zhong Shang and Xie Xun (Xie Zhen's younger sis) couple. They have a very hilarious relationship. I just enjoy reading how Zhong Shang's persistence and dedication finally wins Xie Xun's love. They're a very cute couple.

Putting aside the poor translation issues, I have to say the main plot was ok. It wasn’t spectacular but I’m the sort to read any junk as long as it’s mildly interesting. The childhood sweetheart concept was cute.... more>>

Felt that Gao Xun was kinda done dirty but at least he died a hero’s death.

I normally don’t write reviews but Ihave to say I got up to this chapter and I was incensed bc of the side plot.
Spoiler

the whole story with zhong shang and xie xun made me so so so uncomfortable and angry. The more I read on the angrier I got as I know they’ll end up together. He basically is perving on a young girl (i think he’s 20ish and she’s only 14). Even considering this is a historical novel, they even say that they’re not considered a woman until 15... and ZS even made a comment saying GX was a paedophile when he thought GX like XX... this made me so angry that I had to leave a review lol.

[collapse]

because of that side story I have to give a low rating. Without this disgusting story maybe it would have been at least a 3.5. I don’t care how the author tries to romanticise it/redeem him as he had a very bad reputation. He’s basically a paedo and the whole story gave me the creeps and I couldn’t finish it because of this.

rather than focusing on a relationship bt a literal child and an adult there should have been more on Xie Rong’s story. <<less

Honestly, I was frustrated in the earlier attitude of the female lead. I sometimes like haughty characters but I wasn't able to tolerate her in some parts of the story.

What I like though is that there are other POVs and couples being highlighted. I was just sad for the male lead's younger sister. It was good when the best friend was indifferent to give justification to her judgment and actions, but in the end she fell (ugh).

But good thing I always love nice couple stories like the ML and FL's.... more>> I'm just rambling stuff. ❤️ <<less
