Chuntang Wants To Get Drunk

Description

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

In her previous life, Song Tangning was the most pampered lady in the capital, but because of a concubine-born woman, she died at the hands of her own dear brother and her childhood fiancé. They took everything from her, destroyed her life, and raised the concubine-born woman like a shining sun while stepping on her like mud. Song Tangning was disfigured, had her legs broken, and was imprisoned in a dilapidated courtyard for years until she was strangled to death.

Upon her rebirth, Tangning vowed never to be that stepping stone again. Her cold-hearted and biased brother? She disowned him. Her cousin who loved the white lotus? She cut ties. Her indecisive fiancé? She broke off the engagement.

When the concubine-born woman’s true face was exposed, her brothers and ex-fiancé knelt before her, begging for forgiveness. Song Tangning remained indifferent: “Forgiveness? Hmph, I’d rather burn you to ashes and scatter them to the wind.”

She already had a new “brother”—although this new brother was a eunuch with a bad reputation, known for his cruelty and ruthlessness. Just the mention of “Chief Eunuch” could make children cry. Yet, when he called her “Little Begonia,” his voice was as gentle as can be.

When Xiao Yan was first alone with Tangning, people whispered that it was inappropriate: “I am a eunuch,” he said, “What propriety?”

Later, in a room filled with warm fragrance, Xiao Yan held the little girl whose eyes were flushed from drinking: “Little Begonia, your brother dotes on you.”

[The Yandere Came During the Night on steroids]

Obligatory translator review here.

This looks like a typical revenge plot after gross mistreatment in the past life but the story is much deeper than it looks on the surface. We have a fake eunuch ML and his adopted sister FL who have one of the best relationships I've read in a while.

The palace conspiracy goes deep in this one and even till the middle of the book, there are numerous mysteries that still need to be uncovered. The story gets truly horrific sometimes... more>> and the writer is not afraid to go to unexpected levels of gore but the sweet romance between these faux siblings really balances it out.

I typically love the strong female + minimally involved male dynamic but here we have a weak to strong FL. I think Song Tangning's gradual development is more realistic than other similar FLs.

Our ML is the scary villain that makes babies stop crying at the sound of his name so he is very well versed in palace intrigue and he slowly but surely coaches her to be as manipulative and heartless as he is. It was really cute actually.

They both work together and it's really satisfying to read.

The plot of FL's mistreatment and revenge is truly a side plot and the real story here is the collusion of noble families with the princes to overthrow the emperor and the secret of ML's origin. It's a really interesting palace story I recommend it to anyone who likes palace intrigue plots.

There are no dumb villains here. The villains are very smart but Xiao Yan is smarter. The emperor is powerful but Xiao Yan is more powerful. This novel is one that deserves a drama adaptation because it's really just that good.

Character development isn't just reserved for the FL. The ML who was previously jaded due to past trauma, isolated due to his reputation and only focused on his personal revenge plan learns to let people in again. And not just the FL too. For the first time he experienced genuine affection and support of others and I enjoyed reading about him having the realization that there were still pure hearted people in the world.

ML: master schemer, a trickster, fake eunuch. He gives strong Loki (marvel) vibes sometimes. Deeply involved in the plot, has many secrets, really powerful and cruel, takes a elder brother role with the FL because of a past connection they both have, tortured by his growing attraction for FL. Powerful master manipulator only soft for his little begonia

FL: determined to take revenge on her family, readily makes difficult decisions, initially weak learns to be stronger and cunning from ML, character development from weak to strong under the careful guidance of ML. Has scars on her face for a good amount of time so you won't see long paragraphs about her beauty as is typical in Chinese novels. Very smart and learns to be cunning very quickly. Her character development is one of the best things about this novel

Come for the sweet romance between two unlikely characters and faceslap against neglectful family members, stay for the truly juicy palace intrigue plot. It's a long story though so you have to be ready for a rollercoaster ride with this one. <<less

Why the low rating? This novel is very entertaining and although long it doesn't drag on. The pacing is good and the story is engaging. The female lead has character development and something I liked about this novel is that the male lead is also an MC in the sense that we get to see a lot of him acting, doing, planning and executing in most novel almost everything revolves around the FL but this story is mostly drive by the ML's past. I quite like it.

I checked on the several websites and it seemed that this novel was already completed at chapter 1018 so I would mark my review as completed. I would edit ny review if there's any additional chapter added. Anyway, back to the review.

I actually didn't have much expectation towards this story since it had an average rating but I was in the mood to read a rebirth story in ancient time then I came to know this novel.

And you know, I really didn't regret reading it. This story wasn't actually something... more>> new, at least I've read similar story in the past with some differences here and there but I still love this story. MC got rebirth but she didn't suddenly become adept at scheming. At first, although she was full of hatred towards people who killed her, she was still naive inside. It was ML who taught her and she gradually became like ML, a master of scheming who was cold-blooded and decisive.

Speaking of ML, MC and ML got entangled quite early. Although at first ML treated MC as little sister, he gradually fell and later couldn't extricate himself from that feeling. MC was a bit resistant at first but she also couldn't help but to fall like ML. Later, they became the best couple and also the best partner who shared life and death together.

Aside from MC and ML's relationship, this story focused more ML's journey to the throne and to conquer the world. I love how ML didn't undermine MC's capability just because she was a woman. Instead, he treated her as equal and always involved her in whatever he did.

The ending was quite satisfying but I still want to know about some things that wasn't mentioned in the ending.

Spoiler

I know that MC didn't care anymore about the people who harmed her in the past but I still want to know their ending, like Song Jinxiu, Song Shulan, and Xie/Lu Yin. Song Jinxiu became a pawn to disrupt Beiling's court but he ran away after he's exposed. Until the end, I still don't know what happened to him. Song Shulan became concubine of official family but I also didn't know what happened to her after that. Not to mention Xie/Lu Yin who accused Lu family. Was he also executed along with other Lu family's member? The author didn't mention it.

Also, Qian Qiyue determined to become a female general but later, there was no mention about it again after she got married and had kid.
