Buddhist-style Delicate Beauty

Description

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

There is a common trope in old-fashioned romance novels—where the female lead must have a rough life, be beautiful in appearance, suffer from being forcibly taken by a wealthy man, and run away after being pregnant…

One morning, Jiang Rao wakes up to find herself unfortunately transmigrated into the novel “The CEO’s Beloved”, which was once extremely popular. She became the substitute bride who was abused both physically and emotionally by the male lead, and had desperately wanted to escape his clutches. However, the original female lead was delicate and weak, and the greater her heart was, the less action she took!

Before the transmigration, the original female lead said, “Even if you can have my body, you can never have my heart!”
After transmigrating, Jiang Rao smiled indifferently like a Buddha, “With money to spend and a villa to live in, I don’t need to worry about anything or wander around aimlessly. I don’t plan to run away anymore. It’s too tiring and terrifying to follow the original plot. I’ll just wait to die and be reincarnated early.”

She thought that by deviating from the original plot, the real fiancée would return to take her place perfectly after the one-year contract ends.
One night, she heard a low murmur in her ear, “My sweetheart…”
Jiang Rao, “???”

It's really a cliche & old-fashioned domineering CEO meets poor girl novel, with a substitute wife twist, just like it says in the description. The MC's actions cause enough changes to make this the good timeline, but the ML is still kind of bad.
Spoiler

In real life, a guy who can threaten people with a gun, tell others to break someone's leg, and lie to an amnesiac woman that they're in a relationship is a huge red flag that should be locked away in prison. He gets minimal points for not taking physical advantage of the MC despite toeing the line of s*xual harassment. Sadly he's still much better than the og ML who went insane from FL's escape attempt causing his only surviving relative grandma to die. Og ML both loved and hated FL & shot her leg to permanently disable her. If the novel really is their past lives, they should have made it more clear that ML won't just go off the rails this time. It honestly made me disappointed that MC later didn't address the og ML's actions at all, treating it all as just a bad dream. The ML does show signs of growth at the very end, when he lets her go free for 4 years, but it's really hard to say if he'd actually moved on or changed since they just skip over the separation for a tearful reunion & happy ending cliche.

[collapse]

It kind of feels like the author wanted to add certain romance cliches - amnesiac ex, wife-chasing crematorium, melodramatic emotional blackmail, etc. - But then realized these things weren't going to lead to a happy ending & had to figure out how to write themselves out of the hole they had just dug. A novel for the guilty pleasure reading since this would never be okay in real life, but he's fictional rich sven scum so ¯⁠⁠_⁠ (⁠ツ⁠) ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

3/5 but my fingers slipped :P

To be honest, I just hated it. The male lead had no reason to like the female lead, and her and his whole relationship was forced by the author. It's not a romance, it's just pain and suffering on both sides, it doesn't have any sweet or happy moments, it's just the MC trying to escape the ML.

Firstly it was not really a special plot novel I was reading but I had the feeling that I had to finish this one without skipping I was right during the last 20 chapters the feelings and emotions were just right I dont regret reading this I was going to rate this 3 before reading the last 6 chapters but those last chapters were the best ones believe me they were interesting telling the the truth and essence of the story why would you like to give the story 4... more>> stars because they both lived happily together.......

Spoiler

actually the FL is the real Jiang rao herself we and she comes to know this truth in the last chapter when she discloses this in the previous life when she committed su*cide ML went crazy that he opted and tones of spiritualtaoist to gather and bring back the soul of FL but failed because of which he also opted to commit su*cide just like her because he was not able to endure the pain and longingness for ML that's what made them repeat their lives again but FL ended remembering them in last chapters because in beginning she was believing herself to be in a characters body but later she came to know that this was her own body she was reborn along with ml.... ML regretted his actions so much that he ended up releasing her after 4 years they met again with a happy ending

[collapse]

Warning... these things looks good and okay only in stories don't apply and take inspiration from these things in real life and don't expect guy/girl will change in 90' turn for a better good if you see people like ML better stay away from them... just sharing my feeling nothing else

Novel was good.... redemption was 9/10

Ending 10/10 <<less
