Wandering for fifteen years, Jiang Sheng picked up five elder brothers for herself.

For their sake, little Jiang Sheng went through fire and water, desperately making money.

The elder brothers didn’t disappoint her, giving everything for their little sister.

Until the General’s mansion discovered the switch of the legitimate daughter, and hastily brought her back.

But they didn’t treat her well either.

Some ridiculed her vulgarity, some laughed at her ignorance, some scorned her coarseness.

Yet no one knew, the new top scholar was her brother, the newly rich royal merchant was her brother, the returning victorious little general was her brother, the saintly healer was her brother, and that one… was also her brother.

However capable the fake young miss is, does she have five elder brothers to support her?

Note: The main characters have no romantic relationships, the female lead has a childish personality and focuses on familial love!!!

This is great novel for those who wants a relaxing read. There are many high stakes, but most of the conflicts are resolved quickly so there inst a lot of buildup. The MCs are all very supportive of each other.

It is also incredibly long though 😅

The extra chapters also end abruptly.

Fluffy, cute story about a little street girl who collects orphans/abandoned boys and their struggles and triumphs to the top. Villains aren't too annoying, and some even become good people. So far, so good. No angst, just enjoyable reading.

Update: After chapter 157, I finished reading with MTL - Really enjoyed this novel, it was an even-paced historical novel. There is almost no romance, it's mainly a rags to riches story of a young girl and her ragtag brothers and how they slowly get ... more>>

rich/powerful/revenge/justice.

At the very end of the novel, the MC is 15, and her and her brothers have all found their place in the world, but are all single. There is a large cast (especially in the Capital, Fengjing) and the side characters and development were satisfying.

From the village to the town to the city to the Capital to the aristocracy to the imperial family, the story slowly unfolds on the little ragtag family and their hidden backgrounds.

The epilogue chapters are good too, but I could only find a few. I hope the translator can do them all.

Reading the sypnosis it seems like the focus is little Jiang Sheng but it is not. This is a story with multiple protagonists. The world building is slow but not as repetitive. A mix of slice and life, business, and politics. Growth happens because life gives you challenges.

For me I liked how the villains characters are portrayed. They seem liked real people. For example the fake miss, sure she is a bit malicious but it's hard to blame her. A kid who was loved by her family but everything changed... more>> when the truth came up. She became riddled by insecurities then turning her character into something malicous however even she was just also a victim of circumstances.

Author slowly created a world by telling us the POV of multiple characters. The downside is that they do overshadow the kind female lead. Her character is unique but simple. She remains like a loving supportive sister with emphathy and occasional good ideas. She doesn't get a lot of growth however she is already strong from the very beginning. Kindness seems s*upid but it is also her greatest strength.

A lot of villains strayed from the right path because they are full of darkness in their heart but MC still retains this even if life was initially hard on her. Everyone has their ups and downs the difference is if you focus your view on light or darkside of life. <<less

Really love this one. Really digs into ideals, morals, and life experiences. An idealized world, but without shying away from the darkness brewed by the world one wants to idealize.

(Having said, prepare a bucket of tissues bc PEOPLE f*ckING HEARTBREAKINGLY DIE WHEN THEY DO AAAAAAAAHH.)

There truly was struggling, like a shounen manga doing level ups to fight bigger bads, but written plainly with thoughts so it feels like a genuine life, not some random Mary/Gary Stu unlocking a new power move. I'm usually not a fan of power creeps bc it easily harms world-building, creating plot holes, if not done right. But this time, I wouldn't have even noticed it until the kids looked back on the past. In the end, I just become proud and happy for them, if a bit of heartache for their struggles to reach their heights.

As for some of the comments I glanced over in other reviews, a bit of spoilers to counter:

Romance
Spoiler

No romance, please look at the tags.

[collapse]

Blood Family
Spoiler

Jiang Sheng never fully goes back to the Jiang family, it's not a matter of being slow. She just has a family she never leaves in the first place.

[collapse]

Family
Spoiler

This is a family-orientated tale, both found family and blood family.

[collapse]

MC
Spoiler

Our MC, my baby Jiang Sheng, is but one character out of an assemble cast. She has a focus, but she is not the focus.

I repeat, this is not a romance. Not a rom-com, not a childhood sweetheart take, not a phoenix rising to meet a dragon, or a 'doting CEO, weather is cold, bankrupt someone'-isk romance, NADA.

[collapse]

Having said all that, there really might be people who find this against their tastes.

You could call it slow-paced, an upswing of status built on a lifetime (however short) of work, but it is not filler. It is not suspense for suspense, it is details based and formed into a bigger picture, growth made from growth. But some might just find it too slow-paced for them, so if you think you won't like it, I still suggest trying some chapters to see if it'll fit you anyways.

Because I applaud this author for digging so well into human psychology, the patriotism of soldiers, the non-black and white of human lives. While still making me agree and wish my babies grow up well, like a fluffy cotton cat that you just want to stuff your face in all the time, even if you need to go on a business trip to support them. (Disclaimer, I have no kitties or business trips.)

You might have wanted a final doting ML, rather a loving found family, both blooded and not. There is no one to sweep away troubles, one single hand to withstand all blades at all times. One to simply sweep the FL off her feet from one second to the next. This is an assemble cast. I ask you take a chance on my roster of found siblings before you decide a single ML is all you need for love.

TL;DR: NO ROMANCE, look at the tags. FOUND FAMILY BASED, look at my babies grow. Slow-paced or well-done non-filler storyline, depending on view point. Solid 5⭐️s in my view. <<less

Look, it’s decently cute and the brothers’ plot is interesting enough to keep me reading, but I think potential new readers should know that it’s been 330 chapters and yet little Jiang Sheng is still not a permanent resident of the Jiang estate. I like slow plots but this one is really really slow.

First of all, NO CP. This is purely a family relationship novel.

I can't really comment on whether I like it or not. I like some parts, I hate others.

What I like in this novel is how karma is presented. It also illustrates acceptance and letting go.

... more>> Overall, I felt unsatisfied. I felt like I wasted several nights to read this. I gave this 4 stars in consider for the author writing a good plot.

What I don't like is there are some unrealistic events. The ending also feels a bit rushed. And, I wished there was romance for the MCs. <<less

Okay so I had to MTL the novel till the current chapter sacrificing sleep and it was worth it. The ML is very age-appropriate and what I mean is that she acts her age but is just a little clever and cautious because she is from the street. The way she gets her brothers is also very realistic and so is their growing up. The characters are very real, and the real and fake daughter tussle has not started yet. There is no love angle, though I have a sneaky... more>> feeling it is going to be Brother no 5 whose identity is not clear as of yet. There is no rebirth, no transmigration, no golden finger and each character is written well. Just hope the translator continues to post regularly.

MC picks up brothers like a farmer picks up cabbages off the ground. She finds 5 new brothers in the span of days and they all go home with her like some lost puppies with no questions asked.

It was still quite an enjoyable read in the earlier chapters, but there is no character development from the MC. Even though she grows up, she still is described as simple and always smiling and loving to her brothers. The only thing that does change is that she apparently becomes fat and her... more>> brothers call her a little dough ball. But her character remains simple throughout, which is boring af.

Her brothers do get some character development but its not very interesting or satisfying. There is no romance and no CP. I skipped to the end
Spoiler

and it turns out the 5th brother becomes the emperor.I'm assuming he went back to his og identity because his siblings kept fighting their political opponents and were too weak so he had to step up the game.

YOU SHOULD READ THIS NOVEL.

Feels like the most dog blood novel I've read. It is fluffy, heartwarming, and you can gain a lot of lessons. I think this was fate, me finding this read, cos the lessons in life resonates alright. But sfgjkdhgjs. IT'S SO GOOD. Because it left me with mixed feelings, like man 😭 okay.

I'm not yet done, will prolly be back to write a complete review after. If you're contemplating to read this, then READ THIS AAAA. I usually read to escape and destress from life responsibilities,... more>> so if you want to relax then this is good. Very good. <<less

omg This novel is something!! It feels like watching your kids grow up.

Character development is cohesive, each siblings have their own development arc, and all are well written.

You could feel the helplessness when theyre up against forces that are overwhelming, and later having enough strength to confront them. The villains arent just villains, theyre well-written and for some you cant help but wish they repent ... more>>
Spoiler

like the 2nd prince and Fang Yuan when they k/lled the nomad's 3rd prince. Or the swapped daughter

[collapse]

There are some scenes that doesnt make sense to me tho eg

Spoiler

When the swapped daughter fall off the ledge, how could her handmaid just not see her walking to the ledge?? Author wrote this scene wholly from the perspective of the fake daughter, and even with how chaotic things were at the scene, how could anyone not noticed?

Another one where 4th brother's first mentor, Dr Wu, was supposedly sent by the emperor to supervise/aid the 5th brother. If Dr Wu was just a wandering retired imperial physician who had once had superb influence, I would accept that as it is. But then it was described that Dr Wu was young, and apparently hes from a clan that the emperor confided in making it that the emperor was watching 5th brother from afar like an awkward expression of love.., it just feels like Author was trying to give 5th brother another bond tht chains him. EVEN THOUGH, it was claimed repeatedly that emperor has casted all his love to the eldest prince. Contradicting lol

[collapse]

Also I was hoping that
Spoiler

Fufeng would live and be with them 😭😭

A more accurate translation for the title might be: "After Picking Up Five Brothers, No One in the Capital Dares Offend Me".

The story itself is pretty cute, although I have difficulty giving it a full 5. Despite interesting events cropping up, it drags on somewhat.

What the author is quite good at is complex characters. Some of the villains are 2D, but a good number are actually quite easy to sympathize with. I am in the same boat as another reviewer who felt that Jiang Sheng could really have done with... more>> some character development, but it does seem like there is some mystery behind her swap as an infant, which might lead us somewhere! <<less

I will certainly pick this up again in the future because I haven't finished reading it yet.

If you want a fluffy read, then, this is the novel for you. Up until chapter 85, there is no major schemes happened yet or some tearjerker scenes where you'll bale your eyes out.

This is family love, there's no romance up until the present translated chapters.

Spoiler

But I think it would be with her fifth brother, Cheng Yan. He's the most mysterious one and the one who got Jiang Sheng's first kiss, I mean, first initiative kiss for a family and the first hug.

[collapse]

As of now, I would rate it 9/10. <<less
