"To refuse, she definitely didn't dare refuse, and didn't dare think of the consequences of such a refusal. He was the master, and she was the servant. She was already scared of Eunuch Fu, let alone Eunuch Fu's master his highness the Jing Prince."

Also I'm sorry but I have to say this somewhere bc I keep screaming it occasionally in my room but: SHE IS 14. SHE IS FOURTEEEENNN OK ANCIENT CHINA GO OFF LOVE U U MAKE ME SO COMFORTABLE WITH pedifilia BECAUSE HE IS 25. Ok honestly it's fine, if you aren't expecting this from an ancient China novel you're just as dumb as me but I have modern soft sensibilities and it hurts me

basically it's r*pe but to be very very fair, what can you expect with an overly privileged handsome prince but to expect the whole world wants to f*ck u so therefore of course it's not r*pe in his mind... but god damn it's so sad how she was treated there. I'm really trying to be understanding bc I am not joking with how f*cking good this writing is

ok whatever we're not dumb of course we understand historical context on why it's written that she should be f*cked by a 25 yr old at 14 and expected to give birth in ancient China, but ARE WE GONNA DENY THE FACTS WE KNOW TODAY SCIENTIFICALLY AND THEREFORE HOW HEARTLESS THIS IS TO HER? Ultimately yes it's more realistic to do this to her. But f*ck it if I feel nothing but uncomfortability and low key disgust for how they treat her like a breeder and barely a human. Child pregnancy happen now. There is a documentary on this sh*t in Africa about 10-14 yr girls giving birth and then THEY CANNOT REGULATE THEIR PEE aka their pee cannot be held in because THEY ARE RIPPED UP. So I mean idk if she actually gets preggers at 14 I haven't gotten that far but ok yes if you want realism don't forget to write about the side affects. Shit. That's why it makes it so hard to read. If only this good writing didn't TEASE ME SO TO CONTINUE AHHH

Precisely at chapter 137, I went from 'quite fond' of the FL to 'I hate her, she's so annoying.'

That's a feat, I'm telling you. I could be really biased to MCs that I like. What makes me hate her?

She threatened the ML with the children. She threatened the ML that if he ever left her in a comfortable living place filled with maids and servants, she'll kill her children and then herself by drowning.

All because she was under the impression that the ML will leave her for his principal wife when the ML cannot divulge her the real reason he was about to leave her because he was going to be involved in the struggle of thrones and wanted to keep her safe.

Another commenter had said that she was a proper woman from that period and stuffs, hence, her action is 'logical' and not as forward as modern women. She's not.

She already went through a lifetime, yes. She's a frog at the bottom of the well, yes. But dang. She threatened him with the children. And she crossed my bottom-bottom line.

She threatened to kill her children along with her. She's no longer human in my eyes. Only an emotional monster filled with manipulation. In that moment, I see her previous life, a dirty and desperate pauper seducing her master and fighting with other harem women selfishly for attention. That past life she preached to herself that she'd never be again? She still do it. Disgusting. Her real dirty personality has yet to be shed off completely with mere one death.

She might not be a modern transmigrated woman and not as forward. BUT!

She's not a mere teenager madly in love, she's been in the harem before. She's been in the bussiness before. She had LIVED A LIFETIME. Despite her phobias and fear, she's still a freaking old woman at heart. HOW CAN SHE BE THIS CHILDISH?!

She's irrational and manipulative. The true victim of this is not only Jing Prince who was emotionally inadequate but also her young children who don't even know anything. She used them here. Whether it's intentional or not, she used them. Cruelly, in fact.

She manipulated them selfishly because of her abandonment issue and I despise her for that. I had grown quite fond of her ever since the earlier story and this one chapter destroyed that entirely. I don't get what the author's thinking. She had tried hard to make this story "believable" and I appreciated her for that. But what Xiao Hua doing in this is all but a plot convenience for whatever melodrama she's planning.

No self-respect women would ever threaten to kill her children just because her man wanted to leave her. Her abandonment issue made her a monster. I refuse to think she's a woman.

What I found quite amazing in this story was my change of perspective when the ML's tr*shy uncle and his family was introduced in the story. At first, I found them very annoying and had thought they would have a terrible ending or something like most ML/MC in other novels did when dealing with tr*shy relatives. However, I was surprised when the ML and MC treated the tr*shy relatives as a type of amus**ent and even made it a game. It made me from being annoyed at them to finding them amusing as well. The family was dealt with in the end in a surprisingly harmonious and kind of funny manner.

Dont worry for the segs scene. ML didnt viciously make her couldnt walk for three days, couldnt blame him for everything since he saw everyone in his mansion as his own which is he could do anything to them since that what its thought to him for sure, hes a prince anw. And again he would stop when FL said its painful, and he learn from those mistakes by learning from somebody LMFAO so yea in next segs, FL said she really enjoy it 🥴btw FL aint passive in segs, she even teach him some ways to make her and both of them 'happy' 🤫 for the r@pe imo its in first till second segs (?) bc she enjoyed the rest (iirc) and ML always said he cherised her b4 making out :)

the male twin didnt have a solid side story, he just introduced a girl and bam, they’re together

he is the prince and she is a servant, in that era the master holds their lives. It is Xiao Hua’s great luck that the prince fell inlove with her

He's got a small harem he ignores, she can't say no since she's just a maid (so avoid this novel if you get triggered), and he's very awkward and stilted. Somehow, over a few years, his EQ rises and they end up in a honeypot sweet romance and it's a loyal, sweet, happy ending all around, as they become monogamous Empress and Emperor, he's a great Emperor outwitting his officials, and there's even epilogues of their own children's marriages.

The FL is reborn, the ML Prince is reborn (in his first life he died after his brother ascended the throne, so this life, he's going to take it for himself), there's another brother Prince (who is the ML of The Lofty Fierce Consort who is on his third life after being transmigrated, then reborn again), and a friendship with a transmigrated girl (who is the FL of the Prestigious Family's Young Lady and the Farmer).
