Yun An was a volunteer chosen among thousands by the space time research institute. Simply planning to record the true historical events of the military revolt in the year nine hundred and sixty, she signed the consent form, stepped into the time machine, but a peculiar thing happened during her travel through time, causing Yun An to be sent to an unknown place and time…

This dynasty was not recorded in earth’s history; perhaps Yun An had entered a parallel world.

This kingdom was known as the ‘Yan’ kingdom. It’s regime was similar to the middle period of the Ming dynasty. The economy was an unprecedented level of prosperity, and the men were regarded as superior to women.

The renowned Lin family of the Yan kingdom lived in luxury and extravagance. Their extreme wealth had already continued for three generations.

However, the famous Lin family faced an awkward problem at their third generation— the master of the family had no son.

Although the master of the Lin family had seven concubines, he had not gained a son for years. Master Lin eventually became too old to have any hope for a male heir.

The rise and fall of the Lin family now rests on the shoulders of master Lin’s only legitimate daughter: Lin Buxian.

The Lin family appeared to be powerful and untouchable, but it was actually surrounded with danger.

Their wealth was hankered after by powerful ministers and coveted by their relatives. Lin Buxian was a woman, but she had to step out often. Because of this, she was often denounced by the public. Eight merchants came to attend Lin Buxian’s twentieth birthday, but they heard the shocking news that her past childhood friend had already become the lucky son-in-law of a Minister, and he intended to take her as a concubine?

Lin Buxian made an announcement to the entire kingdom during her birthday banquet; the Lin estate is looking for a handsome son-in-law, to marry and live with the bride’s family.

Even though the story is just starting, I can already say that this will turn out to be a great story. And I freakin love Lin Buxian's character, she has strong personality, but she's also kind-hearted. Her reactions whenever Yun An does something or say something 'weird' is what I'm looking forward from someone who doesn't express much of her emotions.

Yun An's character is easy-going, she's more open-minded and more intelligent but her curiosity and lack of education for the current timeline she's in makes her character interesting and funnier... more>> at the same time. I even forgot how many times she made me laughed lol.

Anyway I really love the story so far, can't wait to finish this masterpiece. <<less

I commend this translation group/person. They have done a wonderful job with their translations. They will release chapters by bulk which is not common with translation groups/people.

Story is fine. I've read some of the other works from this author. There are other reviews about this story so read from their review. I won't delve deeper since I have only read a couple of chapters.

Done catching up to the current chapter.

MC, despite adept in history, is extremely dense. She was fooled by many people many times, and kept being fooled.

In the newest chapter, MC...

Firmly rejected FL even though she won the lottery to marry her. She didn't want to marry FL since she's a woman even if she has male skin, she thinks homos*xual in this era is simply killing FL's future. This is ruining FL's reputation as the First Lady of Lin family. FL is furious. Yet the marriage is settled, MC couldn't leave and she has to marry FL.

Although I'm not into Yuri/femalexfemale-relationship-novel... but the author did The Best job. The plot here are the best!

As a modern person/person from "higher-civilization",.. when we hv a chance to travel-back-into-past... Unconsciously, "Pride and Ego feelings" birth out with-in our heart.

Unsubconsciously, we might 'see' those "ancient people" are s*upid.. so we 'thought' could 'fool, play trick, scam, ' them within our palm..

... more>> THIS!! MOSTLY happen/written in the plots of other novels.

(Lol... to think abt this, make all those 'trans migration/reborn' novel turn out to be tr*shY Novel.. haha)

BUT NOT HERE!

The authour brough us 'deeper' into the "ancient civilzation", how their life look like, how the women live in those years,

Also.. how Yun An, although she try her best.. there is sometime where the situation not into her favour..

But the ending all good..

Very big thum-up for this novle. <<less

The kinda story you keep thinking about long after you've finished it. Incredible writing and translation. My only issue would be the difference in pacing in the last few chapters. Compared to the detail seen in earlier chapters, the conclusion was a lot less in-depth. Admittedly, the timeline towards the end is a bit more compressed toward the end, and after 300 chapters with these characters it's a little hard to say goodbye.

This novel made me travels along with the protagonists. While romance is fine, I become so frustrated when reading through this. Everything MC does, is all for nothing. Her plans are destroyed again and again. Author does'nt give me a break. It's so frustrating. Xiao Shu'er and Li Yuan, I say I didn't even cry when I know they are dead because I was so angry. Obviously author doesn't need to be so cruel. And bad people, some got their deserve-ending but some doesn't. The culprits who made the long... more>> term separation of the protagonists didn't get their deserve-ending. I say MC is the most useless person I have ever seen. She is a hypocrite. I hate the good MC the most. So good that their dearest persons become dangerous because of their hypocrisy. She also didn't revenge either. She is the most powerless MC I have read. I almost anger to death. I hate this novel. It made me to keep reading it but all what's left is regret. I should'nt read to keep me from anger to death.

(Sorry for my broken eng) <<less

I'm currently on ch. 174 and although I've enjoyed the story so far, it think it's started to become too slow for me and I'm getting bored..

This novel is really nice to read, not a lot of angst or heavy emotions of any kind, which is good if you like a relaxing read but if you're like me, it can get boring after a while. I mean... I'll say it again, ch. 174, and none of the core issues have been resolved. Apart from that, major props to the translating... more>> team because the translation is *chef's kiss*

So, I think it's a nice, kinda slice-of-life read. Not heavy on the romance, not heavy on the angst, just interesting if you enjoy reading about politics, merchants and the struggles of women in ancient China.

I would give it a 3.5 stars. <<less

So goodddd, as always. While the science bit makes no sense, the plot is insane, the characters are amazing, the progression is god tier, what is there to not like?

The MC starts off as a completely detached person, and the switch from that into love is soooo well done. The change in family situation, the change in environment, the change in characters, the change in viewpoint. All of it is fantastic. To say it's perfect isn't really true tho. There's some little things that bother me, but that's more from... more>> ideological standpoint and the sorta strange viewpoint of ''ppl didn't know back then, and even if they knew they didn't'' the work is infused with. Everything speeds up at the end a bit too much, and there's
Spoiler

Rui-er's unexplained circumstance, like, tbo I get cultivator Xuan Yi is more important to MC but still. Also talking about the island they made into a country, the system is sooooo coruptable like, ngl.

Don't skip on TNs cause there's one that gives you a heads up when the spicy extra is up, and tells you where it is.

The ANs are at one point super clear about the author's life as a way to explain why she doesn't update at that point in time, and it's all real sad rsns. <<less

I've always been following this story and I always like PDL's stories and of course always grateful to her and Melts for her translation.

There are great characters development and the plot always proceed in a logical sense. The author doesn't make the main character as a Mary Sue and doesn't dumb down all the side characters just so the main character can stand out as a smart or skillful person.

Just wondering if there is a discord for MM like there is one for JWQS. If anyone knows, can you share?... more>> Thank you! <<less

So adorable! Love Yun An's antics, I can't wait to see how she will help Lin Buxian figure out her own path in ancient China. Because if Lin Buxian was born and raised in modern China, I'm sure she wouldn't lose out to any of the successful entrepreneurs her! Melts as always does an AMAZING job with the timely translations!!!! 😘😘😘😘 If you've read the rest of PDL's other novels, this one is more light-hearted than the others. Don't miss out!

Very cute and funny. I really enjoy that the love interest knows main character is a woman right off the bat. I’ve tried some of pdl’s other novels and they’ve been a bit too heavy for me but this one has the kind of fluff I like. A little slow to start; I was definitely hooked somewhere after chapter 10.

This story may seem to be a run of the mill xianxia type of light novel but the author does well in establishing the underlying storyline to build up the story. If you're someone who wants more action and is not patient then you're like me and you'll learn patience because this story is worth it.

Update: - There is a lot of deep thinking that occurs in this story. I'm sometimes completely flabbergasted and how well thought out the solutions to the obstacles faced by the protagonist comes forth.... more>> It's not one of those nonsense OP (i will use my luck and overpowered skills to beat things) type characters. The writing is very realistic for the situation and the character slowly matures through these obstacles. I wish there was less misunderstandings but the misunderstandings also to some extent drive the story forward. <<less

I am thruthfully very excited for every chapter and looking forward for the progress of their story. Thank you so much for another wonderful novel.

I like the charm of both MC. The protagonist have strong mind and strong body, kind of quirky. The FL is intellegent but because of the era she lived in, her capabilities and knowledge are being push down. But over all, they are both awesome.

Story seems kind of nice, but at times I get annoyed by the s*upidity of what is suppose to be a time traveler who keeps thinking that she is not to be doing things to cause a butterfly effect, but then does countless things that was under her control to prevent, but did it anyways. Like getting drunk (constantly) & losing her ability to be able to think clearly!

Other times she talks about this is a parallel world, so then that would mean nothing she does would effect her timeline... more>> so might as well do more to protect herself, but still does s*upid things based off preventing changes in the timeline that she has no idea of for this world.

I'm going to keep reading it for now & see if it gets better, but the repetitive writing about all the time traveling training she took & yet doesn't follow it kind of wastes the story since it is a parallel world & not her original one. <<less

Many inconsistencies, plot-holes, unnecessary exposition, draggy and whiny angry author. The story turned to pile of dung at a speed of light after a certain chapter.

Other than that, it’s a pretty enjoyable read with nice slow burn romance and likeable main characters. I like how many things are often implied than said just like the custom. Its also one of the rare site with a passionate translator, often explaining the references.

In JWQS and FGEP, the angst was between the couple. In this series, the main couple don't really have misunderstandings and it's instead them against the world. I like this a lot because they really seem more like a married couple. However, PDL still doesn't seem to have figured out how to do endings, as similar to her other works the last part of the series seems very rushed and ends abruptly as if someone hit the 100x speed button.
