I thought this would bore me but I don't know why I can't stop reading it, really. Like, the story in itself was enjoyable and relaxing ✧◝ (⁰▿⁰) ◜✧ and it's the first time I've read a novel about ancient China, I'm glad it didn't disappoint me

So this is the fluffiest story in all of fluffworld.

Super chill, super cute. Definitely a good read if you want to just read about a cute couple and how they are living a simple farming life.

There was a whole chapter that just describes their furniture at home. O.O

I love this story. It feels different from a lot of other transmigrating into ancient China stories. Namely the lack of genius, military, medical and modern background of the main female protagonist. Which makes the story quite different from the usual transmigration novels. I really like the interactions of the main characters, I can't help but melt from their cute interactions. It's really nice how the story progresses despite the lack of drama I often see in other novels. It's fun reading about the main couple doing cute things.

If you... more>> like cute couples doing cute things, slice of life, stories without constant drama (so far anyway) and novels that have less focus on combat elements, or maybe you want a change of pace from novels filled with overpowered protagonists transmigrating from modern times to ancient china. I suggest you give this novel quick read and see if you like it. <<less

OK I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I’VE READ!!! The relationship between MC and ML is so genuine, sweet and seems so natural. Every moment between them leaves a massive smile on my face, the author has made them both so loveable. Such a fluffy read!!!!!!

As of Ch46, this Novel is a sweet, quiet, island of peace in the ocean of fantasy & romance stories I've read recently. ... more>>
Spoiler

The story goes at it's own pace, there is no huge drama, any harem, or flashy stuff to speak of. I truly love how straightforward, honest & sweet the MC's are. Most times, I barely paid attention to the fact that Mr. Ex-Assassin is technically an OP character, since said power is mostly used for very sweet purposes, buhahaha. This Novel is truly about two hardworking, shy, awkward & incredibly sweet characters building a life together. The rest is cherry on top.

[collapse]

Sigh... I am a selfish person, I really wish this story keeps going just as quietly until the end. <<less

Cute story so far. It's a bit slow right now but that's how I expected it to be. The main male lead is such a tsundere lol. I really like the MC as welll. I'm interested in how their romance will go.

There isn't nearly enough chapters, but as others have said this is interesting. The idea is somewhat unique and the writing is good. It's a good read.

Now if only it will update.

I realized belatedly this is actually the second time I've read this series, and I understand some of the reasons why I dropped it the first time. It's not horribly written but I just can't bring myself to like any of the characters. The MC is a total pushover and everyone around her takes advantage of this to some extent. The ML seems to dislike this but never does anything about it because the MC 'likes' it.

Spoiler

The family they attempt to buy their first home from break the contract when they realize they can't buy their new home in the city. One could argue that not making it too hard on the family would keep the MC from forming bad blood with the villagers but it's pretty clear that most of the village is on bad terms with this family anyways. It would have been fine to at least gotten a small compensation for wasting their time. I mean it's their fault for taking such a risk in the first place.

Worse was the first rushed embroidery job she was suckered into helping a village girl right after the MC got married. The MC just happily accepted w/o discussing any terms because that family had helped during the wedding. Ok, fine but when the girl got a bonus because the job turned out so well, the MC refused any money from the girl she helped.

And then they refuse tuition for the disciple the ML takes... and the MC wonders why their savings is evaporating?

[collapse]

I really wouldn't want to live in that village even if it's pretty. Villagers, gossip, back bitting, 'favors'... bleh Then again I'm the type that would prefer a cabin in the woods.

Spoiler

Oh, I almost forgot that the whole transmigration thing was half-assed. I don't like when stories give zero background, but this story spends at least a couple chapters about how the MC was mu*dered and the reaction of her family... that they must find the mu*derer! and then it's never talked about again. At least not by ch. 47. I mean the reader knows who did it but they spent all this time on her OG family but it doesn't get resolved. We don't know if the antagonists were caught or not.

At around chapter 100 I felt there is no point in reading this story anymore.
Spoiler

The last straw for was when the ML ended up being a long lost prince WTF???

[collapse]

Everything goes perfectly for them the ML and the MC are just too OP and I guess it was okay if it stopped when they got kids and then they could live happily ever after. What came after that was just useless filler that doesn't add anything to the story except making the characters even more OP

It's a good thing that the story is not long, the translation is good if you want something to read just to pass time this story is for you, a solid 3

There is not much I could add after I read earlgreyt`s review (Thank you earlgreyt :D) because the review matches exactly my thoughts after reading 74 chapters of this story. *brushing my teeth*

Anyway in the beginning I really liked the sweet but capable FL and mysterious ML...

The further I read I really believe they are a well-balanced match even though I gradually started to get the feeling that the FL gets less capable except for embroidering. And the charm of the mysteriuos ML is sinking the more he "pampers" (if... more>> you want to call it "to pamper" if his wife isn´t even allowed to do some chores) his wife rotten.

Where is the brave independent FL from the cave?

.... Probably also drowned in all that syrup or more according to the story: hidden behind fluffy bedsheats.... <<less

I'll be honest to say that I would give this an honest score of 3.5/5 but rounded it up to 4 because NU can't do half points. But first, let me air out any possible biases. I'm very picky about books, doesn't matter the genre, but it matters if I can't connect with the story or characters, or even something as vague as the themes of the book, I will drop the series after reading at least to chapter 50. (Or if there are less than 50 released chapters, then... more>> the latest one.)

The Story: it starts out very interesting and really cute. I like laid back and easy-going romance stories like this. If anything else, a fantastic novel which has a similar vibe to this would be "The Snow Country Hunting Life of the Northern Nobleman and the Raptor Wife." But! I have issues with this story. For one, I'm just not gonna pretend that I wasn't genuinely disgusted that she was doing the deed at the age of 15 despite the fact she was from the 20th century. Second, I am a bit disappointed how quickly she stopped growing as a character, of course one might say "Oh! But she and her husband are able to grow into a stronger couple--" she is not progressing as her own person in all honesty and that is all on the author. I do understand it's very happy-go-lucky in ancient times, etc. Etc. But I am a very big fan of this sub genre and my reccomendation from above is a good example of it. I only wished the author could have expanded her character specifically. Reading about an overly meek and dainty "I want to help too! But my husband wants to take care of me, so I'll just blush instead." Sort of repetition just rubs me the wrong way. I'm not asking for a BAMF heroine, I didnt read this story for a girl like that, but trying to enjoys a story about a meek white lotus who also doubles up as her husband's "widdle wife" is boring at the very least, and at maximum straight up annoying.

The story over all is extremely sweet and fluffy and pairs just right with my beating bleeding shoujo loving heart. If you're looking for a:

• Simple

• Loveydovey

• Domestic

Plotline, look absolutely look no further than this. It's a enjoyable story, and without a doubt I want to finish this story, but I can already feel that this story will annoy me a times. <<less

Another reviewer described this story as a hidden gem and the description is apt. For me, the pleasure is in the small details which gives life, colour and credibility to the story world. This is not a fast-paced action novel, although at the time of reading (ch 76 atm), there's strong foreshadowing of conflict to come. In the main this is a sweet, heartwarming tale of two people in love and the community they live in. The translation quality is consistently good, with unobtrusive and useful notes to help the... more>> reader visualize and immerse themselves in the story. <<less

This is a hidden gem!

MC is fluffy but not a pushover.

ML is... I did not expect him to be so sweet.

I am so in love with this novel, farming, cooking, character growth, fluff... My eyes have been bleeding and my heart parched after reading OP, dense or vengeful heroines. I was like what the heck, I wanna read and learn a few fun things, not stress myself. I needed this, it cleanses the heart hahahaha

A sweet story, fluffy, lovely romance interaction and both characters.

I especially love the early chapters, after they got married it's getting a bit boring because most of chapters only disscus about usual thing, a lot description about designs and food and rarely focus on telling things about the charaters or their dialogues.

I'm really looking forward to the future chapters though and I know the main/major problems haven't appear yet, and there haven't been any sign of it. So I hope it will soon.

Really great slice of life novel. Although the male lead is in fact an assassin, except for the first chapter when they met, there hasn't been any combat in the 62 chapters I've read. It's all about the female lead and male lead living together. Very heart warming and relaxing. No generic arrogant young masters/mistresses that the MC's have to "outsmart" every three chapters.

... more>>
Spoiler

Well, I say that but at the chapter this release is currently at, 62, a girl who has a thing after seeing the male lead and trying to talk to him once or twice just showed up at their home, pretty much ignoring the female lead AFTER she tells her she's the main lead's wife. Soo.. I dunno if this aspect will change for the next release.

[collapse]

The reason I've only rated it a 3 out of 5 is because although it's a slice of life and relaxing, it can be somewhat stale too. One chapter was completely dedicated to describing their house after it was all finished being built. These aren't tiny chapters you normally find with a female lead main character either. Sometimes, it's almost TOO slice of life and somewhat dull. I'm not saying I'd prefer combat or the above arrogant rivals and what not. Just something actually interesting, instead of a description of their day to day life. Doesn't even need to be a sort of conflict. Just something INTERESTING. This point drops it down a star, and the other star is for the long gaps of time between chapter releases. A few months later I might stumble across it, only to see like 7 new chapters added. This is the kind of novel that you read up to it's current translation, then forget about it for a year or two until it's done, as opposed to other novels where you can come back a month or two later and have a bunch of new chapters to enjoy. <<less

Oh my gosh! I was so hooked up on the story that I read all the translated chapters in just one sitting! The novel is fluffy and light; the couple's interaction is so sweet that I tend to put a smile on my face all througout. Kudos to the translator. I look forward to read this in its completed form. Thank you ?
