I Married an Exasperating Eunuch

Description

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

Chen Hui had traveled through the passage of time, but – when she woke up, there wasn’t even a single female servant surrounding her who exclaimed her return to consciousness.

Instead, the only person standing in front of her was an exasperating eunuch who pinned her with a malicious glare whilst remarking sarcastically, “Since Lady Chen despises and shuns lowly eunuchs such as myself, I won’t force myself upon you.

But, if you’re hoping for me to release and return you back to your family, then my only advice is for you to give up all such hopes! You will never be able to leave my household for the rest of your life, so you have little choice but to stay here till you die!”

Chen Hui: …

It turns out, that Chen Hui had time travelled, and awoken in the body of a lady who had attempted to commit su*cide (by ramming her head against the pillar) to display her staunch refusal to marry an exasperating eunuch.

However, in order to fill her belly full and keep her body warm, Chen Hui had no choice but to continuously think of different ways and means to approach the exasperating eunuch, to get to know more about the exasperating eunuch, to please and bootlick the exasperating eunuch, and to seduce… No, wait, forget about seducing that exasperating eunuch.

The eunuch Li Youde had spent his entire life being a callous, deceitful, and sly person. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that all he could think about during his most desperate hour was – how the mischievous, pampered, trouble-making enchantress at home would be able to continue living a worry-free and comfortable life without him by her side.

I dived in with no expectation but some scenes actually made me chuckle out loud because of how well-thought the ridiculous outcomes from previous banters were.

However, I can’t help but feel that Chen Hui (MC) loses out by a lot in this commensalism (or parasitism) relationship. While Li Youde has his own good but his bad truly outweighed them all. Every characters in the novel think the same way as I do (or I have the same opinion as them) and only Chen Hui thinks otherwise which is the beauty... more>> of her love for him (and why this relationship worked out in the end) <<less

Huh? A CN Novel that has an ML with human flaws and not overly handsome, rich, and powerful? And an MC who doesn't make everyone fall in love with her with her beauty and "unique" personality, whilst depending on a male lead to solve her problems? I must be daydreaming.

I love this story! I found this gem when there were only 5 chapters, and I have been stalking it on the daily ever since. Frankly, it was this story that had me register an account; I couldn’t take there being zero reviews any longer!

Translation: 5/5

The translation is smooth and all ideas come across in a natural, fluid, and sensible flow. While I do leave room for a few very minor grammatical errors (it is a free, excellent quality translation made by a kind soul in their own spare time),... more>> the sentences and ideas are cohesive and clear.

story : 4/5.... so far to ch 9

I feel very hesitant to give a 5/5 on a story when I am only at the part in establishing the setting. Especially when it felt the MC was extremely quick in accepting she has transmigrated. Then again, I am sure the author wanted to get right to the actual story and not waste it by writing a few chapters on our MC going through a lengthy adaptation and reality realignment. Ok. I can dig it. This isn’t my first transmigration reading after all. Most of us are veterans by now.

What I have completely fallen in love with is that this story’s dynamic and love interest is COMPLETELY different from the usual tropes (not that I mind indulging in those ever so often) . It is a breath of fresh air! I don’t think I could say it any better than the translator did; this is a story of just an ordinary girl that can’t help falling in love with an imperfect man. BOOM ! Yes! Something most everyone can be able to relate to! Our MC (So far as I have read) doesn’t have any OP skill or magic or Mary Sue quality. She is a bit juvenile in her actions, but not so annoying as to make me stop reading. Often I ended up laughing at her antics. I really look forward to seeing more of how her character develops. The ML is not the prince/ emperor or leader of the knights, but a man who is cunning but at heart is a coward. He is not described as dashingly handsome, and not to forget he is also missing a (cough, cough)... Have you ever read a love story about a Eunuch? I haven’t, didn’t ever cross my mind till now. There are so many questions about him; I can’t wait to see what happens!

Other than all that, I really don’t have an opinion. <<less

I've read the raw, and it is definitely a story that's worth reading!

The plot follows quite 'unusual' characters a 'real' eunuch as well as a transmigrator that has no particular 'golden fingers'.

10/10 recommend readers who enjoy humourous FLs, MLs that just-can't-help-falling-for-these-FLs and generally a nice heart-warming story about finding love in ancient times! The FL definitely isn't some frail flower waiting for the ML to notice her, ... more>>
Spoiler

she'll climb her fair share of walls to get to him! And yes, be warned, this is a story about a true eunuch, so no plot-twists at the end where the ML suddenly reveals he's been pretending all along...

[collapse]

All the best to the translator and my wishes are with you to see this project until its completion!!

P.S. There aren't a lot of translated works that can be considered similar to this, but if anyone wants raw recs feel free to drop me a message~ <<less

This story is so interesting, and I adore MLs who are different than the standard "Black haired red eyed pretty boy". And I love that so many people really enjoy this story too!!

It now has a comic but unfortunately on the website I've been using, it's been dubbed as marrying a s*upid eunuch. The ML is also drawn Very Attractive 😂 despite him not quite being so? At least not as much as he's been drawn to be.

Unfortunately over there too so much abuse is thrown at the story due... more>> to the ML not having a pen** anymore, saying there isn't any point, what a useless marriage ect to have a husband with no pen**, just die or get divorced ect (stares in Asexuality...)

Obviously these people have boring as heck taste and are only there for p*rn. I'm sure they'd enjoy knowing there are like minded people within the story itself lol <<less

I don’t know why everyone reviewed this so well. I have a high threshold for the behavior of ML’s in stories. I get the relationship doesn’t need to be #goals or even healthy. But this story is just depressing.

Watching the FL grovel and embarrass herself just for a good meal is an awful experience. This guy has all the resources to just see to her material comfort and doesn’t because he seemingly gets off to her pain. I get why he’s offended and mistreats her, I understand his reasoning, but... more>> he’s genuinely a monster. I wanted the FL to leave. I want him to die.

I get what the author is going for. And I love bickering couples too. This is not that. Because the FL has no power and the ML could genuinely beat her to death (as the threatens to do at one point). He has no scruples in how he treats her. It makes the bickering anxiety inducing. This is just abuse and it is just upsetting to read. There’s no progress in twenty or so chapters. All she wants is FOOD. It’s disgusting that he can’t even feed her - and he HAS the resources, he’s just ironically a dick. I am GENUINELY baffled by the good reviews. This is tr*sh. <<less

MC and ML are such gems, MC is lovable, mischievous and clever perfect for insecure ML. Really love how MC always try to communicate to avoid misunderstandings, although because of ML insecurity they still have misunderstandings. But it's such a nice easy read romance novel.

Translator done such a really good job. And Mtl are easy to understand

Spoiler

I cry a little when ML finally brave enough to undress and bare everything

YES. This hits all of my sweet spots: clever writing, interesting premise, atypical FL, atypical ML and atypical romance.

The best word that I can describe it with is exciting-there wasnt a moment where my interest was drifting. It’s one of those rare finds where I dreaded getting to the end because there’d be nothing left to read. Right from the get go the FL finds herself in a frustrating situation and she is very proactive in changing her circumstances. Her methods are... unique to say the least lol.

The heroine btw... more>> is A++++ The 5 stars is all for her!! She is a shameless opportunist-very glib and witty, but still wholesome? which I imagine the author is too since the narration is hilarious.

I love how the translator explains turns of phrases or double entendres right after it occurs instead of putting it in footnotes. It really helps keep the pace without breaking immersion and preserves the comedy because the reader can appreciate the joke right when its happening. It’s a great touch that I feel is very considerate. (Thank you rosyfantasy!)

As for the cons, the ML is a product of the times so theres the requisite sexism, but there are moments when he takes it a step further and is outright condescending to the FL. And during these moments the FL just takes it in stride, which can be aGgravating. BUT, theres already a fair bit of character development and its not even the halfway point yet. So I have high hopes and am sticking around to see how they both grow. <<less

This is not typical Chinese story about OP ML and FL - if U R looking for something different then that novel is just for you;)

What I found fresh was same plot - real eunuch (not someone undercover) and normal girl from modern society. FL is not s*upid, super smart or white lotus. She is normal girl with both good and bad sides, her POV is really realistic. She love ML for who he is and not for his fame, status or money. She accept him for who he... more>> really is (arogant, cunning, shy, coward).

That's why I love it. I couldn't wait so I read mtl version ;) <<less

Literally my top 10 romance novel so far

Don't be thrown off by the idea that the ML is a eunuch. It is what makes this story more interesting.

Translation Quality : Full Marks 10/10

A big thank you to the translator doing this.

Story : 9/10

A romantic comedy well done. Never did I feel like dropping it for a single moment. FL is not a jade beauties for which people fall head-over-heels. Neither is our ML a handsome greek god but a eunuch. A fresh taste to romance genre,

Spoiler

Our FL is poking around ML's room and finds a chest full of glass d*ldos. After realizing what it is, she freaks out and ends up dropping the one in her hand, which promptly breaks into two. Later, ML returns to the room and she has no choice but to climb into the box of d*ldos to hide (all the while feeling disgusted and wondering if these are used) 🤣🤣🤣

Spoilers--they are not. They are actually a "gift" from his political rival (who is also a eunuch which makes it somehow okay..? 😂) Anyway, 100 points for hilarity!

[collapse]

The story is more of a comedy rather than a romance. FL is a transmigrator who simply wants to eat and live well. She belongs to the shameless, flattering, troublesome, good at b*llshitting class of characters. Our ML is your typical tsundere. He initially hates FL, but comes to think that she's a little amusing (even if she's always making trouble for him). There's really not much chemistry or flirtations. There isn't any pampering or fluff--Just two people with opposite personalities learning how to get along.

I usually only read for the romance, but this story is so hilarious I can't even quit. 10/10 I recommend! <<less

This is a typical drama between a silly girl and a posessive man full of DV, BUT! The ML is not typical enough! Not handsome! Not fully powerful! Not a full 'man'! If you like the usual domineering man that love to bully the FL, but you want a little kick, this is your novel. The DV is not heavy since unlike other ML he can't just r*pe the FL wherever but you will still be agrrieved a little for our FL because the paranoid ML always pinch her everyway.... more>> The FL is a bit silly but let just forgive her, she's a normal human. <<less

I truly do not understand the high reviews for this novel. Although I can agree that it has some great comedic elements, MC and ML’s personalities were just too frustrating for me to handle. Many of the reviews argued that MC is smart, and I do see how good she is at scheming, however, her “schemes” often involve in her losing face which makes me feel so irked. I understand that this may have been done to enhance the comedic aspect of the story, however, most of the time it... more>> just made me feel second-hand embarrassment on how idiotic her actions are.

The ML, in my opinion, was just as frustrating with his tsundere like personality. Don’t get me wrong, I usually often quite enjoy an ML who plays hard to get. However, ML’s constant acts of “punishing” the MC (like cutting off her food rations, blaming her for things she didn’t do, and making her wash his clothes and threatening to not feed her if she doesn’t) happened so many times to the point where I can no longer see him in a good light. He’s a real bully. The ML has feelings for the MC but does not realize it himself, thus self-explaining his feelings for MC as amus**ent towards a pet. And don’t get me wrong, I usually don’t mind relationships where ML dotes on MC like a pet. However, this ML often treats her even worse than a pet and likes to act condescending most of the time. I truly could not stomach his personality.

Those aside, the comedic element’s of the story were funny at often times, and I can appreciate the author’s sense of humor. However, the personality of both MC and ML made it hard for me to enjoy the story. Overall, the translation was really good, but the story just wasn’t my cup of tea. <<less

What can I say? This story is insanely enjoyable. I love both main characters so much. They are an amazing couple. There are so many funny moments but the whole story of their love is so beautiful and touching. Read it, read it, you're missing so much if you skip it!

Li Youde is probably the happiest eunuch of all times. And one of the luckiest people out there. Chen Hui is precious beyond words. One can only dream of having such a person on his/her side. She is really like... more>> a light illuminating the lives of others. I'm sure if she transmigrated into Wang Youcai's household, she'd make a decent man out of him, too. She's like that, bringing out the best in people she meets. <<less

This novel is a masterpiece. The MC is funny and cute, extremely loveable, every scene with her is a gem. No wonder she won the ML's heart. Their relationship develops slowly but is never boring. Very touching, very sweet. The ML is certainly unique but I couldn't help liking him.

This is a unique novel. The main couple here is a eunuch and the daughter of merchant that being sold to eunuch (He is really a eunuch. It already cut off, and will not regrow nor will the author make twist that it's still there. No. He is really a eunuch. He is not like the male lead in kusuriya no hitorigoto)

The plot revolve around their love life conflict. Especially around the conflict of ML lack of root. He is a cunning, paranoid, and low esteem men. The MC... more>> realise her feelings sooner, but she need to work extra hard to make sure that ML get it. MC love for ML is like a rain. Slowly and surely give life to the plant. I can't get enough of how admirable and pure her love for him is. I envy ML luck to meet that kind of lover🥺

I agree with the other reviewer. This novel is really unique because it has MC and ML with flaw. And their relationship really grow into you😍

I love forbidden romance, that's why I read a lot of BL, because it's so hard to meet a good forbidden romance BG, and now I found it 💕

The other novel that I know has MC x eunuch is "The Villain I Rised All Die". This is world hopping novel. In one of the world, MC is emperor's consort and ML is the head eunuch. The obstacle of their love is much higher than this, but it's more exciting too.🤣

Spoiler

In one of the special extra chapter in this "I married exasperating eunuch" novel, MC dream about her being a concubine in cold palace and meet ML in the palace. I would love to read that kind of story line in detail 🤭

Well overall, for me, it's 10/5 for BG novel. A unique fresh air <<less

Wow, after catching up (it's been crazy these last 2 months 🥴) I'm happy with the progress they're making. I suppose they were quite smart and realistic with the emotions a eunuch would possess.

Our ML's view of how others see him and his jaded view on love make A LOT of sense 🤔. But, I like the FL's ability to entirely disregard Li Youde's attempt to push her away. She isn't longing for him and he will have to work to win our girl over 😉 (rightfully so).

I want to... more>> see him more jealous and flubbing around the audacious and tenacious Lady Chen 🥳!

It takes courage for an author to make a temperamental and plain eunuch, a real eunuch, the ML of a novel. Being despised all his life for not being a real man, he has zero self esteem and doesn't think anyone could be sincere towards him. He hides his insecurities behind his moody and aggressive behaviour, to instill fear and forced respect on those who are less powerful than him. On first glance, he doesn't have one good quality. Only the MC, a modern woman, is able to not look... more>> down on him just because he is an eunuch and wittingly keeps up with his sudden mood changes.

The novel is very funny and the MC is a treasure. She really has a head on her shoulder and knows when to advance and when to retreat, when to be honest and when it's best to bite her tongue and flatter the MC with half-lies and half-truth. By ancient chinese standard, she is shameless and so inventive in her banter that both the ML and the reader, are left speechless in so many occasions.

Reading a couple of negative reviews, the main complaint is that they don't like the ML and I can see why. He is very unlikeable, especially in the first 50 chapters but I found consistent with his personality. He is angry at the world and at himself for being half a man, fact that is constantly repeated during the novel, so he vents his anger on those who are around him. A wound so deep rooted in his heart, that has festered for so many years, can't be healed in few weeks. It takes a long time to accept and believe that someone truly cares for him. <<less
