Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away

Description

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

I am a princess, moreover, I am a fool of a princess.

Born in the imperial palace, my appearance is as average as that of the white radish and cabbages in the fields. Throughout the four seasons of the year, my face is always displaying a dull expression, eyes forever shrouded in haze.

But in reality, I know of the secrets within this palace.

Including hers, his, and theirs.

Just leisurely living my days comfortably in the palace like this, I firmly believe I can continue to play dumb to the end.

Taking your hand, dragging you away. Not leaving, you say? Very well, close the doors and release the hounds. (Expressionless face)

Loved it. I like both MC and ML’s characters. Most of all their interactions are just so so natural. ? Gaaaaah. I’m happy to be bale to finished this and still can’t help to want more of the MC and ML.

I actually got intrigued by the summary and descriptions because MC is really pretending to be a fool. Unlike other novels that along the way, they totally forgot that they’re acting. This one, she actually consistently acts like a fool.

I love ML’s doting behavior from the start til the end.... more>> I loved MC’s development too!

Ahhhhh. Such a good read, indeed, given a chance, I would probably reread this especially the MC-ML interaction. ❤️ <<less

Such a complex plot and interesting characters! Really good character development, you can understand how they fall in love, and the MC is hilariously tricking everyone into playing along with her. One of the few stories I'd reread.

The story is well written and the translations is extremely great.
The other characters also well build, and I really like how some peoples' mind became more mature with excellent character's growth.
Just that, this story really have a bittersweet taste and painful feeling in it (though I must say that the romance and drama are still slightly better than 'Mei Gongqing' since it's not fully made me helpless). Truly, this is better, it's just that you'll still have tear stained face, bloodshot and swollen red eyes after reading it.
But still... it's all end happily ever after. To me, everything is good as long as MC obtained her happiness.

It’s a very good read with interesting plots and conflicts. Just a little sad that it was ‘short’ in my pov and could have been expanded more. If you enjoy romance, strong MC, level headed MC, comedy, and drama, than the novel is a very intriguing read that will be perfect for you. I started reading it and couldn’t put it down until I finished.

The MC isn’t someone who is OP even though she’s a transmigrator. She’s very ‘human’ who goes through many strifes and conflicts. She as a whole... more>> is finding out herself and doesn’t like acting like a Mary sue, trying to save people or is forgiving. I like how her personality slowly shows the changes and it’s very consistent in the story.

The love between the MC and ML is more realistic in a sense because it’s not a first love at first sight with an OP ML to carry her at all times. He’s very ‘humane’ where he acts on his feeling and is more relatable than some of those OP ML we see. You see his struggle, his achievements, his emotions, his pain through the snippets given to you and from the MC’s discription. <<less

This story was notable for its female MC. Unlike other court intrigue novels, she's not catty, she's not vengeful and she preferred to stay unnoticed in the background. All of the court intrigue that happened around her, on the other hand, was well written. The story did feel rather weird due to how passive she was for a majority of the story. Things happened around and to her, and she just floated along with it passively. It's not until near the end that she actually decided to act on her... more>> own will, I'm guessing as a show of character development.

Also, I couldn't understand what the guys saw in her to be so obsessed with her - but I ignored that for the sake of the story. <<less

i quite like the characters here because it gives a balance to the personalities (except the fighting skills, of course) of the characters. The characters all have a back story as to why their personalities have turned out to be twisted and was showing only their true selves to MC. Having seen the sincerity, honesty and "doesn't care" attitude of hers, the 4 men here are all trying to win her as their wife for they know that having her, they'll have someone whom they can trust and is... more>> loyal to them.

after MC's reincarnation, she decided to act like a fool and only mind her own business due to her past life in which her fiance and sister's betrayal
Spoiler

her sister tried to steal him using the old method of having-sex-while-he's-drunk and ended up forcing him to marry her. An Ran, her former name, who's suffering from cancer died after rushing to witness with her own eyes their wedding

[collapse]
in her former life, she still acquired another sister with the same situation as before (this twin sister is still favored like in their former life minus stealing her beloved since she first plan on not loving anyone else but herself). She had only come to live in the palace as the dull and fool fifth princess, not once thrown affection by her father emperor but she's contented that she can eat and sleep as she like. She also didn't trust everyone completely because she knows that everyone has their own demons and is not easily fazed by others. She's also has her own principles and always like to test the patience of whomever is talking to her.

but of course, she had already love another man in this story but still tried to not to return the feelings until the guy will only see and love ONLY her to the bones. This is due to what happened before in her former life. <<less

I'd say, 4 stars or 4.5 if you're very generous?

The second half, as others have mentioned became a bit much for me. Please read others review for why. Honestly, the MC has some great patience to be able to pretend to be a fool. This characterization set up for some rather funny conversations and dynamics between her and the other characters. The only thing I found really questionable was the intimacy that was demonstrated towards her by particular characters. Namely, if she's a fool, then wouldn't that be taking advantage... more>> of her?

I mean, it's a good read but it's not amazing or compelling. Let's be real, with the genre and premise of the novel, that's already good enough! <<less

This is such a hidden gem. I love the unyielding character of the MC and ML and how solely dedicated the ML is to the MC.

Spoiler

even if the MC was ill treated it didnt appear to be that bad because everything just slid her shoulders. The MC and ML interaction is really cute.

[collapse]

It is rather light hearted in the beginning but it slowly builds a heavier tone 2/3 of the story. The story keeps you hooked and wanting for more.

I wished the ending could have told a bit more about their life after though. Seeing as how the MC was always passed around by the different supporting ML, I wished the MC and ML could have gotten more screen time. <<less

It started off quickly I must say.

First chapter in and the MC decided to let herself be kidnapped. Basically for lols.

Though the MC is super calm, so you don't have to worry about chapters filled with worrisome anguish. Besides for the MC's stomach lol.

There's also handsome men swarming around her but she doesn't seem to see them romantically at all.

... more>>
Spoiler

Even when Cousin Rui pushes her down to kiss her, it doesn't feel romantic at all. Rather, it feels bothersome, like having your drunk friend being overly touchy in an affectionate manner while you try to take care of them... Which was what was happening anyways.

[collapse]

MC is as the tags say, super apathetic and calm, cunning ebouento avoid drama by acting as an idiot, while retorting and referencing all sorts of modern culture in her head.

It's a pretty fun story to read! <<less

I knew this would be a great read when I read the description and I'm so glad I was right! The MC is lazy but not lazy in a bad way and never really talks and because of some misunderstanding people thought she was dumb so she decided to play along with them, and she played a little too hard and it lasted a decade or so. Because she's dumb people tell her their secrets and she knows a lot of stuff that would get her killed if she didn't... more>> play dumb. She thought she could play all her life but obviously it has to come to an end.

Out of all the mls I'm glad the author chose the right one because I feel all the others wouldn't have a problem using her to get their goals and don't truly love her. The romance is kinda slow because she does not trust easily and her and the ML didn't really like each other at first.

The ending was really satisfying as well and the side stories were fun to read. It was an overall pleasant read and I would give it a 4.5 because it almost lost me in the middle.
Spoiler

the side story of her ex-fiancé kinda depresses me though

There's nothing much to say... just really great novel and totally love it. The FL here is pretty simple and lazy, she gets into trouble but she doesn't care.. Her response to trouble is really what makes her character good.... super recommend this for anyone looking for romance, it won't disappoint at least its what most think

i love it!! ah-lan is truly a character to love with all your heart. I also find it interesting (funny too) how her character goes from extremely calm and keeping her cool to cursing the sh*t out of everyone who pisses her off (this change in temper is due to all the men rubbing / breathing themselves all over her neck/ear).

-----

get ready for lines like this that will crack you up:

... more>> ah-lan: please sleep (expressionless face)

man A: sleep with me

ah-lan: please sleep (expressionless face)

man A: hold my hands

ah-lan: please go to sleep (expressionless face)

man A: why dont you lay with me

ah-lan: f*cking lay down already and go to sleep!! *pushes the guy*

---

she unintentionally attracts men like flies!!! the more she shows people she doesn't care, the more they want her to care!! in her words, "whats that got to do with me? did I offend you in some way I don't know of?!" she know everyone's secret, and no one knows, she knows... because she plays a fool (ret*rd). shh keep quiet..

this novel is full of dark secrets. but dont worry, ah-lan (the MC) will tell it to you simple, she has no time or desire to stall us readers.

i just simply love her to death. your heart will cry and be filled with laughter on repeat. its a good novel. one thing I must say is, most of the characters in this novel has a role to play. they all come together nicely, so dont just think the author throws random names at us.

Spoiler

ah-lan is truly heartbroken from the beginning. so hold her tight at the end of this novel, cry and be happy with her.

Truthfully, I didn’t quite like the way the story goes to-and-fro and the serious and twisted parts. But this story just attaches into you. The way the story reveals the characters’ circumstances and plot twists are incredible and definitely not cliche. Though it is not recommended for binge reading, or you’ll get overwhelmed by the emotions acquaintanced in the story.

All-in-all, an unforgettable novel experience!

The start was really damn good and pretty funny but the second half got a bit too serious so I stopped reading, still really good tho. Edit: I was wrong, I read the rest and it is one of the best novels I have read the ending works soo well it's just great I have to say that although I got more serious I was really damn great. 10/10 IGN

Great novel! I'd give the first half of the novel a 5/5, and the second half a 4/5 which I still consider well done. The female MC has a great personality. She's not some heroic "I'll stand up to everyone and save everyone blah blah" MC that you see in every other novel. She simply wants to be left alone in peace. Her idea to get this done? Pretend to be a fool. However.. This somewhat backfires on her as people tend to speak plainly in front of her and... more>> confide secrets to her. Thus begins craziness.

The reason I gave the second half a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 is....

Spoiler

that she gives up the whole fool act, acting a bit more like the generic female MC. Don't get me wrong, when I say a bit more, it really is only a bit more. Trading barbed words with people and the such. I kind of wished she kept the fool act longer to be honest. I also wish there was more to the side stories at the end, as although they were irrelevant to the plot more or less, it could have brought great entertainment if they were fleshed out

[collapse]

As for the translating and editing, except for a few chapters, they were extremely well done. This made for a nice, easy and enjoyable read.

Really recommend this novel if you want to see how a person would act if they time traveled in a more realistic sense. Keep your head down, stay out of the way, all that jazz. <<less

This is a novel that has your usual FL reincarnation gimmick into a royal court filled with bishies, scheming and intrigue. Cliche' right? Well, our wonderfully snarky FL is having none of that nonsense. She plays the fool instead of being a venomous demoness, and learns many interesting things as a result. However, the world is not so kind as to permit eternal apathy. This is a tale of a jaded woman and her attempt to navigate a world of ambition and desire, in the most hilarious yet poignant way... more>> possible. Xia0xiao1mei, as with previous projects, has provided an excellent adaptation of this novel with a clear and fluid translation. If you are a fan of this general genre, but are bored of the usual "climb to the top thru schemes" bit, give this one a shot. It is well worth the read. <<less

This story is really good. Worth reading if you are into romance, unusual female MCs and transmigration. I won’t summarize the story as other reviewers have done this quite well. MC’s strategy to survive harem politics is to go low profile and act like a fool. This act allowed her to be relatively straightforward and honest as she couldn’t be faulted for being an idiot. The story gets deep at some point, author portrays the characters as multifaceted with flaws and positive points, even the antagonists. I still haven’t really... more>> decided on a ship although the OTP is quite obvious from the start. <<less
