Poison Genius Consort

Description

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

Easily cowed and bullied, she was the useless, ugly woman with no talent in medical skills. Supported by millions, he was Tianning’s most respected duke with the power to move all under Heaven. On their wedding day the bridal sedan was carried to the front doors, but the Duke of Qin’s gates were shut tight.

They told her, ‘Come back tomorrow.’

All alone, she walked step-by-step full of pride through the duke’s doors. Little could they imagine, this unattractive good-for-nothing was a beautiful, genius doctor of poisons!

After transmigrating to the past, poisons expert Han Yunxi finds herself on the verge of being married off to the country’s second most powerful man, the Duke of Qin. Her future life seems set–except her husband is an unfeeling ice block, her in-laws think she’s a eyesore, the empress dowager wants to use her for her own goals, and poison-related plots abound.

Alone, the intelligent (and sensible) Yunxi must carve her own space from the intricate web of court intrigue and the jianghu, relying on her words, wits, and wisdom to survive. Adapt when necessary, use force when required; to survive and thrive is the name of the game to a prosperous life.

No matter what, she’ll prove her right to live!

It was great at first, but I'm sorry to say I got bored after awhile. I have read a lot of transmigration stories, and this one doesn't really stand out from the rest. It's a little slow for my taste. I'm hoping the more I read, the more interesting it'll get. But for the moment, I won't get my hopes up.

It is a really bad story. The MC is weak and allows herself to be taken advantage of over and over. She is meant to be a master of poison but only ever uses them to get superficial revenge instead of just killing people that she knows have tried to kill her and will continue to try to kill her.

The ML is a scumbag who is cold towards her and treats her like dirt even after she saved his life.

If you like getting angry while reading a story, then this... more>> is for you. Otherwise, I would look else where. <<less

I liked the novel for the suspense and the events but not for the FL or the ML characters , I feel like the author might be a male from the the perfect description of the ML and how the FL acts silly in many situations like she gets herself in many troubles knowing that she can easily avoid it.

Classic transmigration with a very very good slow burn romance. Over the overused dogblood plotty design of poison and the transmigration cheat, I actually love how the romance bloomed.

I'm not sure why some people think that their falling in love is sh*tty, but I absolutely love it. The translations were fantastic, but reading the raws, you could really understand why MC still fell in love with ML despite being that supposedly rationale woman from the future who should just be focused on survival. But lo and behold, it couldn't be... more>> helped, with Long Feiye. He has such a domineering indifferent attitude, but all the warmth started with little things of settling old scores-- she saved him so all the little good favors started because he just wanted to get even.

Spoiler

But what will ML do? The indifference is coming from all his pressures and goal in life. Besides, MC is someone the empress dowagar forced onto him so he wouldn't immediately put his guard down. He is someone who has ideals and goals as high as the mountain so he knew he shouldn't be distracted by some love and affection. But he still fell. And boy when he fell, he was insane for his jealousy that he couldn't help. That even when he found out (actually he was one of the first few people who confirmed) that MC is his mortal enemy -- heir of the clan who owed blood to their East Qin, he just smiled and kept it to himself, determined not to let her know and bury all the evidence so she wouldn't hate him and leave him (alright besides, the transmigrator MC also didn't really want to keep revive a dead dynasty at first) and was working real hard to not tell a soul that the one they have been looking for to kill is actually his wife.

Anyway, what I love are the moments when the ML loses control because of MC. Because he was not someone who is like that. He generally plans for everything and has a lot of Plan Bs to the last letter of the alphabet. But suddenly, he couldn't explain what he felt when she ran away. So I don't know why people were saying that MC has no self-respect. Because when she felt already realized that she likes him and found that her feelings won't be returned, she actually dared to run away because she is someone who won't throw her pride for a man who won't explain why ML, as someone who supposedly treats all women with indifference, suddenly treats another woman better-- his shimei.

And ML went mad he scoured the whole continent to find her and from here their feelings gradually developed. I don't want to spoil everything but the little angst whenever they have some misunderstanding were all good.

[collapse]

So yes despite the overaching and overused plot, stay for the romance. Because when the ice block who is the ML melts, she will become his weakness. <<less

I MTLd the rest, but the translation is beautiful.
This is a fantastic transmigration story with vivid characters and storytelling as well as ample romance. The only downside was it takes over 1, 000 chapters for them to consummate their marriage which was just too unrealistic. The FL is OP, but only so in 2 areas — poison and smarts (which one might expect of a doctor anyway). Her hubby is also OP—but aren’t all MLs? I will say her hubby is VERY tsundere for the first 500 chapters, so... more>> if that’s not your thing it may be a turnoff.
Overall, it is a great story with a lot going for it.

4 stars. <<less

I really liked this novel at first, it was even one of my favs. But then everything started to feel boring, which is okay, my cup of teas can change quite fast. I loved the couple, they weren't the sweetest but they definitely weren't the worst.

I've MTLed to the end and I simply didn't think that it was worth it so I dropped the novel. I can't go through the long chapters so... I give up. Lol

The villains are quite generic if I must say it, but at least they... more>> are handled quite well. I agree with another reviewer that says this noveel isn't suitable for those that like realistic novels. <<less

I am so addicted. Very well written and excellent translate work. The character's development is good. I am satisfied with them all except for the female cannon fodders who come accross as shallow and vicious they always blame everything on the FL which is so unrealistic.

And I don't like the ML, he is a jerk. Yunxi deserve better. She should be with Gu Beiyue or Gu Qishao who really appreciate her as a person and treat her as a woman

  1. The romance really only starts from chapter 300 as 300 chapters worth of words are required to melt the eternal Ice berg long feiye
  2. ML's character is due to his upbringing and circumstances forced upon him - so sit back to find out instead of putting labels on his head
  3. Once the romance starts, its not a sudden 0 to 100 thing but a gradual increase in doting and tunnel vision for the ML
  4. Spoiler

    MC falls first so well what do you expect with an ice berg

    [collapse]
  5. Spoiler

    ML really is s*upid in assuming things on behalf of the MC and keeping so many secrets from her but you have to understand under all that is a deep fear that she will leave him. Thus, he hid everything from her so as to spend more time wuth her before he has to 'wake up' from his dream

    [collapse]
  6. Spoiler

    The very important scene that everyone is waiting for aka confession from ML, only really happens at like chap 841... so really really slow romance (this is right after their first time too)

    [collapse]
  7. I really loved how ML doted on MC. Like he allows her to do whatever she wants and gives her his handmade tea or helps her clean up the loose ends afterwards.
  8. MC is really smart and witty imo. Like other than moments where shes blinded by love, she can really scheme to screw with whoever that had offended or screwed with her. She also schemes very well with ML, their level of understanding and cooperation is so beautiful to read.
  9. I must say... majority of the supporting females in this story are not lovable at all... practically all of these flies are or were in love with ML at some point and are really really REALLY annoying...
  10. Physician Gu is best male supporting chara!!!!!
  11. All in all, I loved this story a lot and will 100% recommend it to anyone who is patient enough to read 300 chaps of pre relationship build up and
    Spoiler

    500 more for the confession/first time

This novel became one of my favorites quickly! From the beginning the storyline captured my attention right away. It has a good story and character development. There are a lot of scheming involve which can be a little too much for my liking at times but overall all the schemes are good! Both male and female leads have their own secrets that will slowly unfold throughout the story. This will keep you on your feet because you will be curious to find out their secrets. I found myself excitedly looking... more>> forward to read the next chapters due to my curiosity. Spent a lot of late nights reading this novel. I do highly recommend this novel if you're looking for a good storyline, good writing translation, slow build romance, strong romance, ice cold male lead, smart scheming female lead, arrange marriage, jealousy (eating vinegar), scheming, some actions scenes, and good character development.

In comparison to the Chinese drama adaptation, the novel is 10x's better than the drama in my opinion because I dropped the drama after watching it halfway. Will try to pick it up and give it another try due to my love for the novel but I know I can't anticipate too much since dramas adaptation are usually slightly changed a bit compare to their novels. <<less

This is actually my first webnovel, and it quickly became my most favorite one. I spent around a week for binge reading and when I ran out of new chapters I quickly went back to the beginning to re-read it. I came after watching the drama; I really like the drama, and I like the novel even more. Long Feiye quickly became my most favorite ML, and Han Yunxi is also one of my most favorite MC. She's not cruel, not OP (I found OPed MCs really annoying and sometimes... more>> unbearable), and she knows how to use her brain really well. For many readers the romance might be snail slow, but I certainly didn't think that way. As a person who doesn't believe in love at the first sight, I can't believe in a romance where the ML fell hard for the MC just because of their eyes or poems. Instead, I can clearly see why Long Feiye fell for Han Yunxi, and I also enjoy their feeling for each other grow. I found myself enjoying every little change of Long Feiye's action toward Han Yunxi. <<less

I personally enjoyed this story. This is actually the first Chinese novel that I read and this story is the one that keep me for searching more novels. The only thing that I don’t like is the fact that the MC is always getting backstabs. You will understand when you read it. And it’s getting more boring in a way. But the ML is not bad, he is not abusive and their relationship is growing normally and not those stories where the ML fall in love at the MC at... more>> first sight. <<less

Amazing novel, well written, the female lead is very witty and relatable. She isn't OP she's just a normal doctor who transmigrated into ancient times and she undergoes many obstacles for survival.

The female lead doesn't depend on the male lead like many other novels. She can protect herself with her own skills.

The romance is slow but just be patient, it's worth it in the end when the male lead melts. Take note that most of the low reviews are from readers who didn't read past chapter 300. Although in the... more>> beginning of the novel the male lead is very cold to the female lead it's important to understand that as a powerful duke he still has to be cautious of those around him. The male lead isn't going to be suddenly in live with the female lead at first sight and that is one of the most realistic parts of this novel which many others often forget.

Translation of the novel is very well composed and probably one of the best that I have seen before.

There are many comments about how irritating the female rivals in the novel and the fact that they are too OP with powerful backgrounds yet are very arrogant. To describe them in one-word c*ckroaches because of how resilient they are no matter how much karma comes back at them. <<less

I love the way this story is written.. though it could get frustrating at time but in the end all worthwhile!! I'm on edge frustrated and excited when I finish a chapter and waiting for the next update. At times like that I wish I knew how to read in chinese. *sigh... but all said and done I really enjoy the progress of the story and love the main female character!

Definitely my favorite novel! I found this novel when browsing through Novelupdates and decide to give it a try after reading the summary.

'OMG I found treasure!' was what I thought after 5 chapters.

I'm not a fan of slow romance but I couldn't stop reading this. This slow burning romance between HYX and LFY is brilliantly written and just makes me want to read more of their sweet moments. And also the other characters get to find their other halves (eg: Tang Li and Ning Jing).

I love the way the author... more>> develop each character and it is a joy to read about all of them. Everyone of them is complex and multi layered. Its great to read about their thoughts and to try to understand them.

This novel is full of political intrigue, slow romance, fighting, poison masters (of course!) and so much more!

I also really appreciate the hard work the team from Volare has put into translating this novel. I LOVE YOU ALL! !? I have been following your translations for over 2 years! Thank you so much! <<less

As someone who loves fluff to the max, I wasn't interested in pgc at first, coz that giant iceberg really just that, giant iceberg. But if you can hold until the part when he start to melt, there you have it... you'll get the fluffiness in vengeance.

The MC isn't too OP which is a plus, although some villains are so annoying that they almost unrealistic. But overall, I love this.

I started this novel two weeks ago and I aam obsessed with it. I love the female lead because she is so independent, smart, beautiful and very loyal. She is falling for him at a great pace and the story is at a good pace. The OTP suffer from TRUST Issues and both are having a hard time communicating.

Let me say short and clear, since the other reviews have expanded a lot already - I like the refreshing take on the transmigration and the clearheadedness of the FML but wow, she needs to clean up the mess of the backstabbing and annoying antagonists - at least make them stop bothering if she can't kill her... BUT noooooo they just keep coming back for more like flies.. thus minus one star

Holy crap! Is the FL a masochist, like nobody should be this much of a pushover. Save yourself some heartache and go read a better novel.

Spoiler

Alright, I haven't finished the novel, and I really don't think I have it in me, honestly. Overall, the FL is a masochist, she was this brilliant doctor who, I am guessing, specialized in toxicology, but the authors seem to have ignored that profession. Upon reincarnating, she is blatantly ignored, which any person would have just fled to a new country. Does she? Nah, she decides to stay and get abused, despite having a lot of knowledge about poisons, especially the undetectable ones.

For example, the princess literally tortures her, and she just gives her ringworms and treats her later, like what the actual f**k! Look, I don't really like novels with senseless killings, but this is going overboard. Ugh, don't even get me started on the tsundere known as the ML. The royal family, except for the crown princess, are terrible people, and if I were in her position, I may have poisoned the entire palace and fled to a new country.

I wanted to give 5, but I don't know what happen and it became 2. Tried to edit but nothing change. Will try again later. I have read quite a lot web novel, but I must say this is my favourite. I love all the story arcs, the MC coldness and ruthlessness, HYX resourcefulness. I especially love the built up to the tender moments between the two leads. People who loves fast paced plots/ relationships might find this story boring (at first), but give it a chance at least until... more>> chapter 200, you will change your mind. This web novel was beautifully written, and is eloquently translated by Ruyi. Up until chapter 750, I had already cried 3 times, it is a testament of how Ruyi really does a good job translating the emotions in the original story.

The only complaint I have is, the translating is still quite a long way to go. But something worth having, in this case reading?, is worth waiting for. <<less
