Well as everyone can see this is one of those polyandry tags, reverse harem and on top of that R-18 *coughs violently*

I actually saw this one in the forums posted by Aris12 and I’m actually glad someone picked it up. I finished this story which is in mtl (ahahahaha) It’s actually a good read you know with the development of the plot and characters specially the hot scenes well not all of it are described but almost the same coz the author gives a rough idea on what’s about to... more>> happen.

And damn I’d say that’s a lot of vinegar jars knocked over every now and then.

The world is still male dominated but due to a disaster back then a plauge hit the world which killed many women and affected production. Females were in dwindling numbers so that countries made a law stipulating that a woman should have atleast 4 husbands to ensure child birth. And yes women are treasures in the family cause it was hard to produce woman. So a woman can be fined if she doesn’t have atleast 4 husbands.

Spoiler

She tries to treat her husbands equally but at first MC is struggling and may be slightly biased to first husband (which is her elder cousin btw coz shes married to two of her cousins at the same time)

First ML got an irreplacable place in MC’s heart. He’s a talent when it comes to business and caring to the point it reaches heavens (which shows even during their 3p coz 2nd ML is too careless).

Then she subconsciously refuses second cousin cause she feels that 2nd ML is too rough and careless during bed affairs which leads to MC being hurt or uncomfortable

Third ML is a famous son known for playing guqin he fell in love with MC because of a poem MC recited in front of a crowd during a feast. And shamelessly followed her everywhere until she finaly agreed to marriage. As it turns out he’s actually a royal prince and later on becomes the king.

[collapse]

As for her other husbands they’ll either force her through blackmail or extortion or someone who’s really close to her. But in the end she’d manage to love them all and live happily with them and give them children. Try giving it a read it’s actually a good story. <<less

FINALLY! This is the most legit R18 Polyandry. If you want it detailed and dirty then start reading because this novel is made for you!

Although the romance is not the best, quite plain and standard, but the s*x scenes are legit. They don’t roll and then it’s morning, they roll and then details! ? Not sure IF it was really 7 OR 8, I forgot, but she would have a LOT of babies.?

Chapter 21 and I'm seriously considering dropping this. The MC is immature and ignorant and it's not cute at all.

I read some of the comments and I have to agree with them. It's frustrating how MC treats her second husband harshly compared to her first one. Her mother-in-law already warned her that she should treat them fairly in order to avoid conflicts within the household but did she listen? Of course not.

I also had a problem with how the author portrayed social issues such as: associating LGBT+ community with AIDS,... more>> saying Koreans are obsessed with plastic surgery, etc. AND THAT'S ONLY IN 21 CHAPTERS. I understand that it's the author's personal beliefs, but it's unnecessary to project it into their characters. Not to mention, it can make some of the readers very uncomfortable.

Lastly, the MC is supposedly a modern woman who transmigrated into the body of a beautiful young miss from a prestigious family, in an ancient dynasty ruled by women. You'd think she'd have more backbone considering the timeline which she came from and the extremely fortunate circumstances she's now into, but nooooo. She leaves all the decision-making to her first husband and she doesn't seem to have a mind of her own. She only ever speaks up whenever other women threaten to steal her husband and that's it. I couldn't feel any of the power that supposedly comes from being a woman in their society. I would've liked to see her take advantage of her beauty, wealth and status in order to make an impact but sadly, there's none of that so far.

Other than those, there are the typical tropes you usually encounter in Chinese light novels: MC being otherworldly beautiful and pure while other girls are ugly and shallow (god forbid that other girls actually have decent personalities right? Ha ha), s*x scenes bordering on r*pe, the men are rich, handsome and good at everything they do and everybody wants them but they only have eyes for the MC of course. SIGH.

I honestly don't know if I still have the patience to continue this. The s*x scenes are written very well (props to the translators!!) but the elements of the story don't do it for me and the MC infuriates me most of the time with how ignorant she is. Maybe I'll just skip straight to the smutty parts since it's the reason I came here in the first place lol. <<less

Wow! This novel is really... something. It's a legit Chinese reverse harem! And hot steamy R18 at that!! *violent coughing* too much smut is never bad *cough blood*

Just kidding, that's not everything.

If you wanna read a story where women dominate the world, OH YEAH, this is probably it.

P. S. If this genre is not your thing, leave it alone! We don't need your lousy rating.

honestly when I read the summary I felt it was quite interesting and new-the concept seemed very fresh to me. plus I really enjoyed the supreme status women possessed in the book.

im honestly quite disappointed in the MC I mean I would prefer it if she were a bit more... clearh headed. plus I really disliked how she had treated her second husband in the start....i wouldve felt better if she knew how to balance things more....

pls recommend me books with simillar reverse harem concept but the MC must have... more>> brains and be good to all husbands-no bias or mistreatment. <<less

MC puts me off.. The author makes snide comments using the MC as a medium which shows her very VERY narrow view of the world. The author is kinda racist which can make the MC seem like a sh*t character. Also MC is very knowledgeable but lacks any motivation to get going with it. The MLs seem nice but both just lust over her. I cannot say they like her as she hasn't shown her true self and the only time they actually stay together long enough to talk and... more>> get to know each other is spent on smex.

The first ML is pretty good husband, he likes her but I get the feeling that his liking for her stems from the idea that the fairer s*x is to be worshiped, taken care of and are treasures. Cuz she hella horrible as a person given she looks down on people when she herself in her previous life was a poor kid and it seems like she never learned anything during those times she had it tough.

The second ML has it tough as she REALLY treats him with scorn, the fact that he went to work at the docks when no work was available and wanted to earn money without using the family connections to buy her jewelry, she looked down on him for getting a job and the only thing she got out of it was that at least he didnt work fishing out toilets... Like she doesnt even appreciates the fact that he is trying to get her a gift using his own money.

MC is a brat, from what I get, MC is like those people who suddenly get rich then think they are better then they really are. I get REALLY annoyed by the MC, She just isn't a good person. I can understand that she is trying to get used to a new world but I think some of her views of life is ingrained and not something that was caused by her entering a new world. She looks down on the men in the brothels and the famous prostit**es for having all the talents but the very fact that they are prostit**es make them undesirable. For a modern woman, she should have realised that not everything in life is black and white. She doesn't even think that maybe those people who work in brothels were sold or people who were never given a chance. She comes from a poor background (before she transmigrated) but she really lacks the empathy or the understanding that most of us who have seen, read or heard have.

MC is a frog that never left the well, which is a good thing that she went into a world where her very thoughts will be welcomed as most of it can never be spoken as no one would even understand her (given that AIDs/HIV, LGBT, plastic surgery etc are modern terms).

I like transmigration stories like any other person, I just wish the MC's are better people and deserve the title of the MC. This MC is really just a disappointment. <<less

First chapter and we enter into a [bold]BAM[/bold] action. An MC who suddenly reincarnated between two men in the middle of s*x. Good MC for her hilarious comments, poor MC she wasn't able to resist the pleasure.

Hello translator: 3p exactly means threesome.

The novel seems to be promising, in terms of its hotness level. Since there's only a single chapter, I can only comment that it's good so far. Waiting for more to come.

This is less a review and more a warning. Little comments through out the story reveal the protagonist is a racist homophobe. Her stereotyping is both offensive (Koreans will go hungry to afford plastic surgery) and harmful (transwomen try to trick straight men and spread AIDS). I can only assume this is the author's personal views and while much worse has been willingly ignored in order to enjoy smut it might cross the line for some people.

so far, the whole story is good.

The MC had 7 husbands and total of 9 children until in the end, she had alot of admirers hahaha

The S3x scenes are not as detailed as Lucia novel. but it was fine.

... more>> For me (spoilers)

The 1st husband was had alot of sacrifice, willing to be away just for the future.

2nd husband was patience, so loyal, he lost many time or no timing to make a baby

3rd husband, he was caring

4th husband, haha the blackmail. but I think he was sweet, like he broken to jail carried MC because she was sick.

5th husband, what we called Love at 1st sight to MC but sad to say the MC was not remembered him, but soon she accept him.

6th husband, we can called it childhood sweetheart, a servant who grows up together with MC that devote and love MC so much, soon his effort and dream to be with MC that he can tell her how much he feels.

7th husband, well... all I know was he was something a royalty from other county, he loves MC since he was 8. There was no much interaction between them. <<less

Rating: 3 stars

I quite liked the story except for some seriously negative POV's of the MC.

Why I deducted 2 stars:

1. The MC being a biased wife. She doesn't treat her husbands equally.

2. The author's condemnation of certain delicate issues.
Spoiler
    1. She makes homosexuality almost a sin as men who were gay were given capital punishment. Idk if this is his/her own view or not.
    2. Racism.
    3. RZ deploring Korea, Japan and some other countries.
    4. Her wrong info of history. There are many instances, one being: saying that Athena was the goddess of wisdom and beauty and a prostitute/sl*t and made several women sell themselves. I mean, Athena is considered a virg*n goddess and the goddess of wisdom, art, skill, law, civilisation, war etc. But not exactly beauty.
    5. Regarding the Westerners as barbaric and cannibals.
      [collapse]
I understand wanting to glorify one's motherland but that doesn't mean to criticize another's motherland (I'm not a native or citizen of any country bashed here tho). Why I gave 3 stars:

1. The MLs. They were all excellent. (1 star)

2. The R-18 scenes. They were hawt :3 (1.8 stars)

3. The plot. I liked it even tho it was a bit cliche. (0.2 stars)

After reading 20% through the novel, I personally feels that mc's character and the way the story unfold isn't that good.. But the *cough* meat aka s*x scene *cough* is really good..
I feel that the author really pedantic, old-fashioned.. Like blaming gay people for AIDS, and like MC said she glad transmigrated into china, because western country is barbaric, and eat people for meat.. Wtf?
yeah.. This novel has nothing to read, except for the meat.. Hehehe
And when the author randomly put reference to certain movie, kinda feel... more>> wtf again..
To tell the truth, most of the weight from the rating I gave is just for the meat, other than that, the quality only stop at the passing line. <<less

Initially the story was good but then MC started to show her true colours and since then on it went to drain. MC is a selfish, vain and very self centered. She doesn't treat any of her husbands equally and obviously that causes lots of friction in heram. MC is a total idiot who can't judge from bad. Reading such character is a total turn off for me. That's why I'm dropping it. Will not recommend it to anyone. Please don't waste your time you'll just be more disappointed and... more>> frustrated. <<less

Good job to translator. I've read the spoiler for this novel. I thought it was interesting for the polyandry theme with smut they got here. Also the plot. But yeah as many people who give low ratings to this novel. I'm also having a problems to continue reading this novel. MC attitude was kinda turn off especially towards her 2nd husband. She appreciates him but at the same time her attitude was really bias & disrespectful I guess for me. Her 2nd husband was doing a rough job which lead... more>> to him being dirty & sweaty, so he can buy MC jewellery but MC not appreciate it but instead thinking at least he not doing clean a toilet job. Wtf. It was my 1st time need to stop reading novel due to MC attitude. Even the smut theme can't save this novel for me lol <<less

The novel had so much potential but the MC was such a turn off. Once in a while in some C-novels you will encounter biases and some racist remarks. But this exceeds that level. She can't go three to five chapters without saying something ignorant or just plain out wrong. She is also very judgmental and weak minded. The only person that she truly treats well is her first husband, the other characters get varying levels of disgust or aren't even developed enough to get attention.

If you can overlook the... more>> MC not being that great the smut is pretty good. The world building is nice too. Its just the MC that leaves a bitter taste for me <<less

Wanted to stop at ch 12, pushed myself to read until ch 19 before ultimately deciding to drop this novel

Overall rating : 2/5

Characters: 1/5

... more>> FL is anything but likable. You would expect that in a polyandry novel, she would treat all her husband equally but from what I read so far, she's incredibly biased. She's also incredibly childish, lacking people management skills and a total idiot.

Story: 1/5

Because of the FL, I couldn't really immerse myself in the story nor the smut scenes (because she kept displaying extreme dislike for the 2nd ML). It was just an incredible turn off. Also, I don't think author knows that sodomy was prevalent in China back in the ancient times. I can't say for sure if author holds these views (but I'm pretty sure it's leaning towards that since homos*xual s*x was only legalized in China in 1997, before that, it was illegal) but this novel discriminates against homosexuals and transgenders. If you're uncomfortable with reading anything of these views, skip this novel.

Translation: 4/5

For a historical novel, translator has done good work in providing references and explanations for certain terms. It could be seen that a lot of effort was put into this. For that, props to him/her.

It was such a shame. I was looking for a good smut novel with decent plot but this totally missed the mark. Thank you translator for your efforts. <<less

I read this mtl to the end including extras and summarized it and I found it to be a good read, some may be put off by the “breeding machine” polyandry type background story that MC has to adjust to but its a story with its own history and culture.. so avoid this novel if that puts you off.

I enjoyed this novel although there’s moments where I think it was unnecessary or bit off but the system set up for identifying who the father of the child is, it is... more>> reasonable and sound imo.

I read the first 2 translated chapters and came to the conclusion that the translator is just doing mtl rewording w/o checking with a translation checker or even a dictionary for words she’s not sure of.. and there’s even some words that seems like a weblink that wasn’t even removed from the translation...

I’m glad this got picked up but I had hoped that there would be a bit more care towards it so there’s less awkwardness and confusion... just to say the “red scorpion” that was mentioned is not a toy or anything like that... it’s describing his lust filled eyes. <<less

At this point FL realized they all lack maternal love so she's much accommodating. Acting like their mom. The story is good, not much drama if you count her 3rd sister being a b¡tch :)

So far she has 6 husbandos and 1 bedwarmer

Spoiler

1 & 2 Yun Twins (1st- boy and girl, 2nd- boy)

3&4 Royal half brothers (3rd- girl boy twins and 5th- boy twins)

5 PM's son (twins)

6 is her servant. She had 2 but the other 1 died because he was framed. So he got lonely and she accepted him. He didn't want children

7 a man younger than him from another nation. He betrayed them just to enter her harem. She didn't like him cuz of that.

[collapse]

How I feel about her personality

Spoiler

i find her tacky and kinda selfish. At the beginning, she prefered the older cousin over the over aggressive second cousin and didn't know how to balance things out which lowkey resulted giving him a child when he was in his 40s. She does things to benefit her but she isn't really malicious. She just doesn't care much unless it concerns her fam which kinda resulted her fever when she was in prison. She has daddy issues.

She was nice enough to help the woman who sold her the chastity belts tho about giving her husband a job.

[collapse]

How she became queen

Spoiler

this flower thief tried to r*pe her which didn't happen thank goodness and 4th husband gave money to a woman with stds to give him stds as revenge. I didn't really catch on but the enemy prince somehow got stds so he was ruled unwanted and cant inherit the throne. So the Queen who didn't like FL had no choice to like her which she did due to her stuff she did. When FLs father came out he was forced accept a decree from the angered emperor by changing someone's name to the royal name (Dont know which), 2nd is to let 3rd husband became the legal husband instead of the cousin and 3rd something ABOUT someone retiring. They didn't specify when she became queen but time skip happened and she was in her 30s already.

[collapse]
About her daughter
Spoiler

i feel bad for her, due to political reasons, they had to destroy the country she married in. Her king husband comitted su*cide and she locked herself in when they brought her back.I feel that the FL is a hypocrite. She said something like is the husband"s country more important the mother country? Well you guys destoryed her 2nd home and forced her husband to commit su*cide. She witnessed love through her family and her own family destroyed hers. Its understandable if she hated them. FL don't have much empathy tbh.

[collapse]

Since she plagiarized so much poems, she became the queen of poets and gained so much fans wanting to get into her pants. Her goal in this era is to improve agriculture and have a happy family. Do I reccomend it? Yes for fluffs. Kinda peeved about how like she was prejudiced against the Japanese early on since she knew history but I guess taking precautions is good (?). The smut is good. It get less detailed as you read on but its fine.

Generally, on a whole, the set of characters given, are shallow, if I may say so. Set up is very generic; transmigrating modern soul into passed promising pretty young "hot" adolescent raised in a matriarchy society because hey, smut tag. Plot so far at chapter 25, none at all.
Modern soul trying to settle down in ancient china set up and have lots of s*x while doing so.

Character thoughts is really hard to grasp as it never really ever goes into it except that they love the protagonists for... more>> her looks. Also, the author is not LGBT friendly so it might rub some people the wrong way. The stereotypical mainland chinese moral mind set. Anti-homosexuals and so on. In my opinion totally absurd add on as it was literally transparent that the author trailed off and ranted and leaked her world views onto her character.
What annoyed me the most throughout the entire time reading the novel; is mainly that one of the character she's sleeping with is rather a boorish douche bag who is rather violent in bed and she just meekly takes it that way despite having the power to put him into place. (she for real is not loving the abuse herself, she uses somebody else to threaten him instead of taking matters into her own hands despite when she's completely capable of doing so and had the ability to, she had handled matters smartly before using her wits so it's not like she's a dum-dum)
And let's take into consideration that the original soul of the body she's currently possessing DIED from having s*x with these individuals she has an intimate relationship with (do not consider this a spoiler, please, since it's starts off this way in the first chapter). r*pe tag all in all considered, raping protagonist's body to DEATH is... well yeah, not okay to say the least.
Sorry, but there's gotta be something wrong with you if you think oh, my hubbies r*ped the previous owner of this body to death, lets keep having rough s*x with them, YOLO.
The characters go on and on about loving each other but really if you can note it down is that they like each other's s*xual chemistry and looks, beyond that, there's really NOTHING left. Maybe a bit of curiosity from one to another but really, that's it, and that's also probably the only thing that's still keeping me around, hoping there'll be some character development and actual romance besides raw s*xual chemistry between the characters. <<less

Where other novels are subtle about the author's internalised misogyny, this one is pretty much in your face.

For once I thought, ahhh woman finally have a bit of standing in society cause they are "valuable", according to Chapter 1. Haha, what a joke, women in this novel are glorified baby-making machines, no more, no less. And if one can't conceive, they have to be the villain in the story. 🙄
