Well I do enjoy this story. I accompanied since it have a few chapters. It's basically a slice of life in old times with a hint of xianxia.

I like how the MC is, although she is a bit s*upid and naive and get a lot of troubles.... if wasn't for the ML and steward shu she would probably have a bad end (well not totally because of her cheat). I like how she was able to change fates not only from her family but also of all people around her... more>> (closely related or not). I confess I was a little curious about how would this world be developed in the future.... Because we don't have only MC who transmigrated, we have more people too, and all of them changed a lot the story of this world, with their actions.

ML I think he was quite good, if we take in consideration that this was ancient times, ML and his family was quite good to MC. Yes, he is childish and pettysh, also I fell like he want to monopolize her to much to be healthy.... but he control his urges quite well.... His father and brothers are the same so is probably a trait from his family.

I also saw people saying about pe*ophilia and I doesn't think it's true in the mc/ML relationship. Yes the ML took interest in MC when she was too young (like 10 yo). But he didn't convet her in a s*xual way, he even told her a lot of times that her young body didn't peak his interest and she should grow first. He likes her because it's her we can clearly see this in the spoiler I will let.

MC also is not useless without her cheat ok (also will put in the spoilers) she just lost her confidence because she was too dependant on it (even ML thinks that she shoul use her cheat less).

Spoiler

First: what made the prince look to MC first was: he couldn't read her emotions, she had clear eyes and he could fell calmer around her. Later he found her maneirism different and funny and start to fallow in love with her. He also respected her greatly, he was willing to take her probation period. He did pamper her and wanted to put a "mark" that she was his fast because he wasn't confidant to truly have her.... we can see that a lot of young lords have interest in her specially because she acts out of norm from normal girls in that time, and MC family also doesn't likes him because of his status, MC also was reluctant are first because she though he was just using her as plaything and because of his status. The two of them only kissed when she was 16, before they would only high each other or held hands (don't think this is the mentality of a pe*ophile). Also although MC had an adult soul I also doesn't think its pe*ophilia in her side because I think in this novel soul is immortal, they don't count the age of the soul and MC andp was a soul matching. Huge spoiler in the end she goes back to her old body and world and ML also transmigrate.... She is an hospital and he is her doctor, he reconize her immediately with the few hints she gave him about her past life, but decided to wait and see if it's truly her (in other to not scare her). In the end she calls his name when she saw someone with almost the same looks as ML in his previous life and he decided to tell her the true.... Yes MC is a sucker for good look people and this came from her last life lol. Although except from ML she look at the others good looking man as a fan girl look to their idol.

Second: after 670 ch we have a plot where MC and ML went to develop a rice plantation in the south.... but we have traitors who want to kill her because of her achievement is a stone in their way.... In this trip the divine stone officially could break his shackles and goes back to his world. MC stay really worried because she thinks she is not good enough without her cheat but ML tried to dissuade her because he thinks even without her cheats the food she cooks is really tasty (her hard work in the previous life wasn't for nothing), the medicine she makes is also quite good).... Later she was kidnaped (i told she was naively s*upid) by one of the traitors and was forced to produce a "immortal pill", she is starved a bit and had to work hard for many days to make. the pill (the divine stone reached her how to. make before he left but without his help it was harder to make because she had to pay attention in a lot of things that the stone helped her). After some days or month she is able to. sucefully make the pills without her cheat so yes she isn't useless just her cheat took away all of her confidence. She also is injuries in this ark and if wasn't for the Divine stone returning (with a hint of his goddess) she would be done for lol. It was one of the few chapter that actually described the ML torturing people.

Also we have few chapters in the end about her children... although MC is soft her son is black-bellied to max level and doesn't let pass the small grivances lol

[collapse]

Overall it was an interesting story, I like it. <<less

It's so difficult to find a good novel with female lead. Most just follow the standard formula - OP MC with 100 cheats instead of just one, then prince appears in Chapter 2, and then it's kind of all about him.

The only reason why this novel does not seem to follow the formula at first is the distinct lack of MC OP-ness, wrapped in a family drama arc that's dragged out way, wayyy, wayyyyyy too long (well over hundred chapters). MC could have relocated her parents and siblings early on... more>> (as soon as she had money in her pocket) instead she allows her hard-cheated money to be taken away and family suffers near death experiences. Even when they move it's just to the other side of the village so the family drama arc is not even over at this point.

And then when you finally think the story can start for good, it just falls back to the formula instead.

The farming / cooking / hunting makes it somewhat bearable to read but not by much. Still better than some other female MC formula novels. <<less

I'm pretty sure that the author doesn't like the concept of "cannon fodder".

The author doesn't even have the heart to kill the villain/antagonist characters in the story eventho MC and her family almost died by them many times. Moreover, those antagonist characters often got away from their bad deeds with only light punishment.

This is the only thing that I don't like from this novel. Other than that, this novel is good or at least above average.

So, I'm going to remind you not to expect a satisfying revenge plot in this... more>> novel. If you're ok with this, then you probably can enjoy reading this novel. <<less

I will give 4 ⭐. I have mixed feeling about this novel. Its neither great nor bad. Its a great story of common people of ancient china. In many historical novels we get to see through the lifestyle of nobles and royals but here in this novel it shown the lifestyle of commoners. MC not only changes her family's poor condition but also her whole village prosper by her decision. That process was great to read. ML and FL both are mediocre. To be honest I don't know why many... more>> people have problem with ml. Seriously he isn't that bad, I have read other novels with much worse ml.

In the name of filial piety MC and her family gets in a lot trouble by her evil step grandmother and aunt but MC doesn't do anything to them and that's too infuriating. I also didn't like how mc's godmother tries to take control over MC like her thinking about her marriage and whom to choose as her husband, asking her to say in the capital with her. She should remember MC has her biological mother and father too. And when bringing gift for MC she never remembers mc's twin sister. That was too much for me. Another negative part of this novel is there is so many repeated events that it gets boring. Chapters could have been shorter and interesting if this same repeated events were deducted from the novel. I was really hooked up at the beginning but I really can't finish it at all because of this damn repeated things again and again. Seriously author could have finished it with 300 or 400 chapter. <<less

Not bad..

The FL not too OP.
Step by step.. she controled her 'cheat' the magic-stone.

There's also another transmigrator character the the story, so.. together they help each other.

There's quite few refreshing comedies scene/lines which didn't plagiarized from others.

Other than this... the down side of the story was the ML and FL's-Younger-Brother behaviours. At first, its was 'ok'.. but.. as the story flow.. they both getting more and more annoying🥱😴

I had wrote a long recension, but it got deleted by a missclick...

Basically, I think the novel is very enjoyable up to certain point, but it has very big flaws like the confusing naming (eveyone calling everyone "broter"-"uncle", ecc... and all the surnames looking similar and even being used multiple times on different families, like Zhao, Zhou, Zhang, Zheng, Li, Liu, Lu, ecc...), the absurd and creepy romantic part (every male falling in love with a 9-12 yo child, and the child itself being actually depict "drooling with salive running... more>> down from the corner of her mouth" every time she sees one of the many extremely beautiful androgine males found in the novel).

The writing also is quite annoying, with long explanations being repeated multiple times, sometimes even two times in the same chapter and then again and again in the following chapter using almost the same words over and over.

I still liked it, since the concept is very similar to Ascendance of a Bookworm that is my favorite light novel (both stories are on an adult young woman reincarnated in a sicky and weak poor child, using their modern knowlege to make money and arise from poverty).
The issue is that the magical cheat Xiaocao has is too omnipotent, able to resolve almost every challenge the child has, from curing disease and injuries, to magically grow crops, to controlling animals and making them human-like intelligent and able to understand human language, ecc...

In the end, I still love the theme, but after chapter 400 the story begin to be less interesting
Spoiler

(the lass has enough money to buy pretty much everything she wants and she is in love with a serial mu*derer who kills people over petty things and she doesn't seem to dislike that part of him that much...).

[collapse]

When after 500 chapters of her being descripted as an animal lover (few chapters before she described her "dogs" as an irreplaceable part of her family), she casually and without much reasons
Spoiler

introduced in the world dog fights arenas,

[collapse]
I thought that I had enough of the nonsense...

A real pity, since looking only at the chapters between 80 and 400, this could have been my second favorite novel of all times... <<less

Enjoyable story, a bit too much filler as the chapters are LONG. Some funny comedic moments. It's a josei novel, but certainly accessible to guys as well. I enjoyed the ending. Recommended.

I finished this story in the morning and honestly it was quite a satisfying ending :)

A few things:

  • The translation is superb! They even have annotations at the end of every chapter for Chinese terms we may not be familiar with

A very heart warming story with an OP ML and even more OP FL, quite a few family drama at the begining but it lessened as the story unfold. A lot of characters are big foodies, their interaction will make you smile. All in all, the story is full of positive energy and sweet, good to uplift ones mood. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ! Thank you the TL team and the author for letting us read such a wonderfull story! I am gonna miss Xiao Cao and co ! (TT-TT)

reading HunnyBunny 55's review turned me off this novel. Family drama and the demand for filial piety even though your mother/father or grandma/grandpa is about to sell you off to prostitution and s*avery takes too much heart to take and forgive. And then if you don't show filial piety while the entire bunch is happily waving you off to a lifetime of misery, you're the one bad apple because you don't follow your elder's advice and since you're this unfilial and evil you don't deserve happiness or pity anyway. Puhlez.

well,... more>> the good news is that there's actually a C-novel very much like this who has a very ruthless and OP MC who at the first page of the novel, attempted to mu*der her sister's trafficker. She was seen by the ML so the sordid mu*der did not conclude to its satisfying ending but the mere fact that there was a witness did not bother this MC at all. She sashayed out the ditch where the attempt took place, look the ML coldly in the eye then airily and gracefully walked away with nary a batting of her lashes.

then she proceeded to teach her evil grandma a lesson, slapped her aunts and uncles' faces like they're mere pancakes, then when she became a prince's consort, totally ignored her future father in law's sovereignty by mu*dering his beloved consort first by putting poison in her makeup then by torching her withered and decaying body in a planned arson attack. Then to top all that, she put a man's dead body besides the concubine's carcass, hereby not only putting the adulterous title on the whore's name but also putting the title cuckold on the emperor's poor head.

the title of this very engaging story? My Crown Prince Consort is a Firecracker. <<less

The story is more on the slice of life genre with a hint of romance set in ancient China. The difference with this story is that there are multiple transmigrators in the story, and does not necessarily focus too much on the class difference. The story is not as tightly based on such. In some aspects, the story may be a quite slow especially since it talks about new dishes being introduced in ancient China which the MC creates or new crops which the MC helped grow with her mystic... more>> stone. While she was talking about the process of making century eggs and popularizing it, I honestly went to buy some century eggs at the store the next day because I suddenly craved it.

MC is a mere commoner born in unfair circumstances even within their family. Her ability to rise through hardship is detailed, with the steps she took to earn money and help her family is written down step by step. My only complain about this story is how slow it is. It's very detailed, and it can get a bit boring when you want to focus on the romance aspect when the author finally started working on it. The romance is quite slow with the story, especially since MC was not a white flower or Mary Sue that a prince will fall for her tears and weakness. It's enjoyable how the ML was chasing his future wife when he realized how he felt later in the story. I personally did not mind the age difference here, because the ML liked her for very pure reasons and he voiced how he was willing to wait for her until she was old enough. Also, MC was already 30 or so in her past life. She's strong willed and was already old soul-wise, thus there was no grooming or anything bad about it. <<less
