Higher Level Wife

Description

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

For an ordinary working woman to transmigrate into the body of an official wife of a nobleman, described by the emperor as ‘peerless talent’, life should be good, right?

Too bad the official wife was an eyesore to this handsome ‘peerless talent’ husband. Hated as a political chess piece that prevented the dear husband from taking his true sweetheart as the official wife, she was universally despised by the entire family and was tossed into a corner of the inner court to fend for herself.

If that’s not enough, this scum man also tossed a pair of unloved children born of some lowbred woman he had accidentally xxx with into her miserably poor courtyard.

Thus, she was set on a course of self-destruction…

Or so everyone thought.

Instead of self-destruction, this is the time to hone one’s self-sustaining skills!

We are far away from the inner court battles and our face is an eyesore to everyone. So, let’s just spend our leisurely days shut away from the world! Our transmigrator is very satisfied with the lifestyle of an abandoned wife.

Only…

Father of these children, why are you here?

Poking your nose into our private paradise after five years, just what do you think you’re doing!?

Humph!

Children, it’s time to defend our corner of paradise!

The translation is excellent. The translator make a great effort to make an ancient Chinese settings fluid in English. I can follow the story well.

The story itself is great. The FL knows her boundaries and no ex machina so far. No forced story. That's rare.

Not to my liking and preferences.

The fact that ML treated the OriBody like tr*sh is a problem. The fact that FL living with ML (with his other concubines) didnt settle well with my perspective.

If the FL is an exact ancient person, we can toletare that (as part of cultural history), but shes's a modern woman with broader understanding and exposures (and still living at the mercy of ML polygamy is not nice) should have more options. This story' didnt settle well for me.

Interesting writing tho, but annoying

There's a lot of negative reviews, but honestly it's a good story. You just have to keep an open mind. It's not your typical devoted ML kind of story. Though, the FL is reincarnated, it should be understood that both are living according to the ancient society they live in. She has adapted to the circumstances of said society. The ML was born and raised with a golden spoon. He isn't flawless, and is dramatic. The FL also is just playing the role of main wife as is expected of... more>> her. There is a lot of harem intrigue that she is forced to deal with in order to survive and raise her adopted children. It definitely is a slow burn kind of romance despite them being married, for the FL at least.

As for the translator, she does often change the storyline, but in my opinion it doesn't take away from the story. She also comments in the chapters, but if you view it as reading with another person who gives their own opinions, it isn't cumbersome and annoying. I don't often share the same opinions, but everyone has a right to their own opinions.

Edit: The translator has stopped writing their opinions in the chapter, and instead there's a few comments in the beginnings or ends. That should stop some complaining. <<less

At 1st I like it... the FL seems to be intelligent, independent, and have strong will...

... but my interest drop to zero in chapter 23, can't even finished it...I can predict what will happen as the story progress and I HATE s*upid WOMAN... and that is what the FL is.

..I don't like the ML but his personality and character is normal in the time where he lives. (but if I met and get involved to someone like that... heh heh, good luck to him)

... so I put the blame... more>> on FL... if the man is a b*stard, why stay?

... can accept the other parts of the story and any kind of story except s*upid women for an FL (i can't understand them and disdain them)

and yes, the situation might be what is happening in ancient time, can't argue with that, but it's not my cup of tea, so drop it, bye.

Always a pleasure to read about food with Gumiho’s translation team. I can see why the author says this is an improvement on ‘The Feast’, it is a more mature protagonist with a lot more responsibilities and more deadly political and harem machinations. Less food p*rn, but the kids make up for it. So far the ML is a selfish ass, hope to goodness he can redeem himself.

Leaving a review here because I think this novel doesn't deserve the low ratings. This is a better written story than the author's other novel The Feast. Compared to Feast, it's a more realistic story for a person in the MCs situation. She's trying the best she can but can't help how her options are limited. The Feast, while initially funny, has too much fluff and at some point you just want it to get moving with the plot.

On the ML, he's still scummy so far but is showing... more>> some signs of growth. It was despicable how he neglected the 2 kids but he was 13-14 when he had them. I'll wait and see how ML redeems himself before passing judgement. <<less

I had to drop it. The scumbag husband was too much for me and as a modern person, she should not treat the so call “husband” with her own hard earned money and effort. She is surprisingly ancient in her behavior.
