A modern girl travelled to an ancient Chinese world, built a business empire, made tons of money, enthralled the most promising young men, revolutionized government structure, gave birth to a baby boy and then got killed by people who felt threatened by her.
This novel is about her son, who grows up quietly by the sea until he is recalled to the capital and gets involved with all the shadowy, powerful figures who knew his mysterious mother and have been waiting for him all along... The MC is also a transmigrated modern person, but it's rarely mentioned.
Huge, huge spoiler:
technically, it's not transmigration. Modern Earth froze over, and people were cryogenically frozen. Civilizations crumbled. Survivors had to start all over from scratch - like cave people then to feudal society - and now they're at the stage of an ancient Chinese civilization - because the cryogenically people were slowly released and influenced the surviving world with Chinese writing and culture. MC's mom was one of the ancient cryogenically frozen people, and the MC was a special baby that was experimented on to have the memories of an ancient person from when Earth first froze over. Anyway, that's what they mentioned in one episode of the drama...
This is a very long novel to read. There are 974 chapters, and chapters 77 onwards are locked at web novel. You have to pay in money or "stones" in order to unlock the chapters. This can get expensive and time-consuming.
This is mainly a political drama novel. Every action has 2-3 deeper meanings, multiple schemers, and it's all about the fight for the throne, fighting other countries, controlling the finances and trade routes, and sometimes learning cultivation. I managed to read to chapter 516 of the English translation, but I can't read anymore. There's just too much scheming and plotting. Also, the MC is ruthlessly killing a lot of people, which I'm not a fan of.
In the novel, the women who are older than him are all beautiful, more powerful than him, and want him dead (Princess Royale, Empress, Empress Dowager). The women who are younger than him are all pretty, and admiring or in love with him and perfectly happy to share him with all the other women. The only exception is his grandma, who carefully raised him. So although the women in the story seem very complex and varied, either they are his older enemies or his younger lovers/admirers. In the drama, he's totally in love with his fiancee/wife. But in the book, despite that, he manages to sleep with several other women and they end up as his concubines or mothers of his children. Hence the harem tag, I guess. There is absolutely no jealous scheming for his attention though. All the women who love him are happy to share him with other women.
Also, a reviewer mentioned that the MC sent his beloved to be married to another. If I remember correctly, the MC was 11, and his maid was 16, the age when regular girls had to be married off. He made sure she married well, and protected her later on in the story. He wasn't in love with her, he just took care of her as his servant. Although, he does take one of his later maids as a concubine.
The translation was fine, but some of the royal terms were a mess. The king's nephew is referred to as "Crown Prince" (he's not), the Princess Consorts are called "empresses", and concubines are described as marrying in like wives (they're not - concubines are s*aves, wives are masters).
Anyway, I couldn't read beyond chapter 516 because the political scheming was getting too deep, I couldn't relate to the MC anymore, and the female characters weren't interesting to me. I'd still give it 4 stars though, because it's a good novel, it's just not for me. I enjoyed the drama, which was much faster (the negotiation at Hongle Temple for the Northern Qi was quick), and had a very fun, quirky soundtrack that really added to the feel of the story (especially the '80's comedic sounds). However, halfway through the first drama, the lack of female characters became wearying to watch (for every few hundred male officials, guards, middle aged men, cultivators, soldiers, peasants, servants, and employees, there would be 1 or 2 beautiful young women).
A court conspiracy/politics story but not too boring, a harem story but not too disgusting, a wuxia story but not too overbearing, and a sci fi story but not too cliche. Honestly this is truly one of a kind type of novel that I can’t quite place how special and memorable it is.
Fan Xian is one of those MC that pulls through the obstacles with considerable struggle and doesnt win each battle. He relies pretty much on his wit, shamelessness, quick-thinking, and clever deductions and of course LUCK! But somehow they dont get on my nerves. I’ve read two of mao ni’s books and although the MC seem to be similar in character, mao ni still manage to portray them explicitly special with unique individuality that puts them characters far apart and different from each other.
I just cant believe I’ve finished the book. I think this is the only book with more than 500 chapters that I’ve read that I can’t get enough of. With other books, I just cant wait to get to the finish line, and felt quite relieved when I did (Nightfall included), but with Qing Yu Nian, I keep wanting more. Fan Xian is such an interesting character and his life is unique too. And Wu Zhu! Gosh Mao Ni really prepared quite a surprise in the end. I never thought Wu Zhu was actually ‘that’ (which is why I considered this book has sci fi element).
Mao Ni’s imagination is truly outstanding and his writing is truly breathtaking.
I'll change my rating if it turns for the better
