Big Disclaimer: in*est

The author went full Japan, because three of the four CPs involve in*est. There are children involved, and degree of acceptance by the reader will really depend on if you accept in*est between couples who weren't raised together as opposed to those who were, and whether or not it matters if the in*est was known before or after the couple got together.

Despite the summary stating that this is somewhat omegaverse, it's not omegaverse at all.

In this universe, there are three sexes. Male, female, and qingzi, which is not... more>> really an omega but more like a ger. Due to the low fertility rate of their world, males can take a medication which transforms their body into that of a qingzi, who are physiologically identical to men except they are fertile and have a lotus blossom marking on their scapula. The offspring of males and qingzi are only males, while the coupling of males and females can birth both males and females.

Spoiler

The CPS are:

ML x MC (cousins, not raised together, unknown until after they had kids)

ML's dad x ML's father/master (cousins, raised together, known immediately)

MC's third brother x MC's second brother (half brothers, not raised together, known before they got together)

MC's sixth brother x shadow guard (non-in*est)

To review, ML's father is the emperor's half brother, so ML's father is MC's uncle. Meanwhile, ML's dad and ML's father are cousins.

MC's second brother was swapped at birth with his mother's side cousin, and was later sold a s*ave to a pleasure house. He is their true second brother, while the one who retains the title of second prince has no relation to the royal family at all.

And although MC's sixth brother and his shadow guard share no blood relations, MC's dad adopted the shadow guard into his family so he could have a status and they could get married.

This family tree is one big circle.

[collapse]

In terms of the actual plot, it was straightforward at best. There is an overarching conspiracy, but it is easily dealt with and there are no twists. The ending was disappointing because the author portrayed the emperor as so enigmatic, only for him to make a pretty lame choice of heirs in the end.

Spoiler

The emperor had seven sons, of which numbers One, Four, and Five are antagonists. Three and Seven (MC) are blood brothers, while Six is their half-brother and cousin as their mothers are sisters. Two was born to a low ranked concubine and was shipped off to bumf*ck nowhere, while the rest of them are in the capital.

Sons Four and Five are dealt with, while One was never in the running. Two turns out to be a fake!Two, a changeling who was swapped for his cousin (Three's love interest and half brother but they decide to never disclose this). MC pairs up with ML, Three pairs up with Two (not the cousin but the half-brother), and Six pairs up with his shadow guard.

Since the emperor can only take female partners, this leaves him a choice of only One and fake!Two (who he has no idea is not his real son). What does he do?

Decides to pick to make MC and ML's infant firstborn the heir instead.

What?

[collapse]

As for the romance, well... in*est win*est, I guess. I don't actually know what ML's personality is other than the fact that he's a somewhat shy, genius doctor. Even the introverted shadow guard has more personality than ML. Oh well, everyone happy ending and had kids at the same time... <<less

This novel is so sweet and fluffy!!! My heart melted on multiple occasions, the MC and the ML's interactions are so cute. The side CPs also add some flavour and alternative ships for the reader HAHAHA. IMO, there is quite a nice balance of imperial feuds. A rather impressive backstory for the side characters as well, considering the short 80+chapters. Definitely recommended! Especially for the readers that enjoy stories like The Wife is First!

Basically the same as the wife is first.

Well it's not like I finished reading the wife is first but it's the same environment

The MC rebirth and atone for his Shou and pamper him

... more>> The royal family struggles and conspiracies

Cousins marry cousins and brothers marry brothers

I mean I am against in*est cause it brings disabilities and mutations to this world

Yi in ancient history noble families marry off inside their own family to keep their lineage pure so it doesn't really matter especially since it's a fiction, it's not like man can give birth

Thanks

Very good novel, at first glance it will feel like the wife is first novel. The relationship between MC and ML is heartwarming to the point of making you jealous. Recommended.

Giving this a 3.5/5

While it's a nice fluffy and sweet story enough to give you a toothache, I felt like the second chance/reset part was meh.

... more>>
Spoiler

while Lixuan did everything to set things right in his second chance, I think he got off way too easy considering when he started with his second life, things just went... so smoothly for him. At that point in time he had already rejected Qiyang, and 3 years had come and gone, I hoped the second life would've at least started with Qiyang losing all affection, and making Lixuan work extra hard to win it back. I mean in the past life, Qiyang's last words were for him not to love Lixuan if there was a next life, so dafuq happened with that? But alas, that's just my take.

[collapse]

There are barely any heavy angst/drama, which is nice. If you're a fan of The Wife is First, then you'll probably enjoy this. A fair warning though, as other reviews stated, which I'd also mention again, there's in*est here. If that makes you uncomfortable, then maaaaybe steer clear.

What I do like in this story is that even if there was a thot character (s) who tried to ruin the protag by going to their room and trying to frame them (just like with any other novel), it was just a one time event and protags are actually capable of protecting themselves. Didn't had to waste many chapters for the eventual face slap. Feels good man. Also nice is an actual supportive family, especially the empress and the best bros, considering they're royalty.

All in all, nice enough read if you're bored and looking for some nice light and fluffy stuff, but beware because in*est. <<less

Alright. First of all, the rampant in*est might be a turn off for some. So this is a heads up from me. But if you are pretty open with ancient China culture + royalty intermarriage, then you will be able to enjoy the huge dog food coming your way.

#ger-like (but claiming to be omegaverse when it's not) #seme MC #some pregnancy progress #buns+childcare. No dog blood and there are also multiple couples. It's also good that the shou was able to make friends which he never did last lifetime. MC... more>> made sure to pamper his wife like what he failed to do in his last life. Fanwai focuses on the buns and their cuteness. 3.5 for me. The.5 is for the gong for sticking to his word of doing things right the second time around. <<less

Again with the fanfiction flavor. I am starting to wonder if the work here is becoming less and less professional. It doesn't matter how much "fancy" words or expressions you try to impose there to make your work look more "serious", the style and the flow inevitably betray you in the end. If the flow is not smooth, then it's not ever gonna feel "natural".

It's irritating, I have the impression of being on fanfiction. Net

The introduction part where we got to see how miserable MC (Jun LiXuan) died in regret was brilliantly done as my tears could not stop. Then we'd read MC got to change his own fate after he woke up. He directly told his parents he'd marry ML (Ling QingYang) and provided reasonable excuse for his past behavior why he wanted to marry now. MC also tried to change his rough indifferent attitude towards his brothers (of the same mother or the ones be raised together by the empress). Then he... more>> got married to ML who was actually very skillful in medicine. They lived in harmony and so in love with each other.

And then, we had conflicts among the princes and they tried to win the competition and get rid these princes who went overboard with schemes and who were the cause of MC downfall back then. The princes also involved and marched the soldier to war and politic with foreign country. But there were also CP for the brothers and it spent quite some chapters to solve them.

It was really interesting to read but the ending made me unable to feel satisfy and only 3star rating. And some things had big difference in before and after rebirth. For example, why no one wanted to help ML to help MC back then. ML's medicine master was not ordinary person. And the emperor too, so many things made me questioning if those were only dream for MC. <<less
