Pampered Consort’s Acting Awards

Description

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

In her last life, everyone said that Su Ling had a good life, a matchless beauty born from a high family. Her father was the Great General of Zhen and her elder brother was a high official of the Supreme Court.

She was married to Prince Jin as his consort and two years later she became the empress of Great Zhou.

Nobody can compete with someone so honorable.

Like this, in the first year of Yanxi era, Duke of Zhen deserted the army just before the war, and so, the Su family was accused of treason.

Su Ling died in the back palace after giving birth to a son.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the daughter of a fifth-ranked grand scribe—Qin Ling.

Waking up from the dream, although she will no longer be concerned about the fickle man, she has no choice but to enter the palace once again for the child she had given birth to.

On the day of the draft, the emperor leans against the Dragon Throne with drooped eyes and without a word while rubbing his eyebrows impatiently.

Even while sighing, he never lifts his eyes once.

Until Qin Ling walks in, and with the exact same face as Empress Su, says: Wishing the emperor boundless happiness, good luck, and a long life.

Up the throne, the emperor suddenly raises his head. He looks absent-minded and the tea cup falls to the ground.

Desperately whispers: Ah Ling.

Rarely is an ML the way they should be. I actually really appreciate the way the author slowly works in the ml's reconnection with the FL. As someone who is in love with someone no longer with him (not a spoiler because the author spoils it multiple times in the author notes), the love feels stronger if he refuses to allow someone to replace her just because of similar appearances. This is what a ML should be - dedicated to the memory of their love, not to replicating the image... more>> of them. I also love how he doesn't shirk away from finding out the fl's perspective of the past, which paints his actions in a bad light.

Also, while there is a lot of misunderstandings, I don't get the sense that they rose purely due to miscommunication. As a product of the environment, they each were forced to be cautious with each other and learn to read subtle cues. But regardless of how well they can read cues, the information bias can still lead to them not knowing what can be shared and how to correctly interpret each other's actions. And to add to this, there are characters (I see an obvious villain in the manipulative empress dowager and the consorts raised in a Gu-raising environment) who will purposefully create circumstances that make it impossible for the couple to live as they would like, especially since they sincerely want to do well for the country and for each other.

I'm not sure I like the side princess though. She acts without thinking and does the upmost to make everyone's life difficult. A spoiled princess that can't really do anything except rely on her status and weep. I honestly hate her side couple. Her having flings with her servants was just about perfect and perfectly suited to her frivolous, shallow nature. Even though some of this is explained later, learning about how she "pursued" him just highlights how juvenile and inconsiderate of the consequences she is. Her getting together in the end was like watching a pig gobbling up a first rate pearl.

But more than that, what is it with the women in this story? Each is more indescribable than the last. Illogical and prone to temper tantrums and cold wars. Able to scheme but unable to consider the bigger picture. Even the fl, though she is portrayed as strong and does seem better than the rest, is so tedious when she gets offended.

The ending also came abruptly, with what felt like little resolution to the political troubles between the Emperor and aristocrats. We never found out the resolution for many of the wonderful side characters. Though knowing the author, they'd probably end up with horrible wives who will stop talking to them the instant they feel slighted. So perhaps it's better their romance was left to the imagination. <<less

Hello, this is Translator Wook of the Wook's Teahouse (now of Travis Translations as per March 25th) . If you're reading this, I assume you're somewhat interested in reading this series. Thank you very much for your time.

After reading up to Chapter 75 I'm now confident to provide you with a more thorough and hopefully spoiler-less review. This will be my last review update for this novel.

Some warnings by the author and myself.

1. The male and female leads have golden fingers, which means they are omnipotent. This is a Mary... more>> Sue novel.

2. The female lead has already died once, and has reincarnated in a new body.

3. This story focuses on emotional lines.

4. The history is not based strictly on a certain dynasty, more like a mix of everything, hence, a made-up history.

5. No pits, a happy ending novel.

Story has depths, you will not know what the hell is really going on until later on, beautifully written and structured. There are plot twists.

Starts off a bit heavy and gloomy, but it gets brighter and a bit comedic starting from the end of Arc 2, hence why the author describes it as a "light story", and states that this should be lighter than it's predecessor, Chang'an First Beauty.

All in all, since everyone has their own taste, I can only say, give this a try, and see you in my teahouse!

"Let us be kind to each other as the heart is already fragile, life is already hard, and this translator still wants to live a few more years."

Wook, signing out. <<less

I read translator's chapters 1-3, then MTL to chapter 65.

FL was an Empress who died in childbirth after her family fell from power. She is reborn 3 years later into the body of a young girl about to enter the Imperial harem draft. She decides to go, so that she can protect her 3 year old son in the palace. Interestingly, while she has a different name, she has the exact same face as when she was 16 years old in her previous life. From what I understand, the ... more>>

ML Emperor was always faithful, and he fell in love with her later on in their marriage. In her new life, when they sleep in the same room, they share the same dream of their past, but from both of their perspectives at the time, which resolves their misunderstandings. There is a doozy of a secret involving her family's fall from power that is explained around chapter 65.

[collapse]

If you like historical novels by authors Qian Shan Cha Ke (Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage, Rebirth of a Star General, etc.), Butterfly's Shadow Beneath The Moon (Eight Treasure Trousseau, To Be A Virtuous Wife, I Am This Type of Woman, etc.,) or Mask Feast (Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid, etc.), you'll probably like this one. Unlike the cover, it's not a fluffy face-slapping kind of story, but a thoughtful, detailed, rebirth story. Also, the translation is excellent. I'll update this review when more chapters are out. <<less

I am hooked. This is really good!

There are 4 parts of the novel, and currently we are in the 2nd part. I can't wait to read more!!!!!

The FMC is a reincarnated queen, whose ambition is nothing but to 'save' her 3, 5 years old son in the deep palace. She lost faith to ML in her previous life and acting coquettish just for her son, the little prince's favor (as until ch 49, we will wait for the clearer pictures later).

The ML is an ambitious third prince who ascended the... more>> throne, now the emperor. He suspected that the FMC is the reincarnated queen and treasured her the most now.

But, before all of these, from the flasbacks of the dreams (their previous life), the ML did not treasure the FMC and did not explain to her his actions which lead to suspicion, distrust, and misunderstanding to FMC. I gotta say, all of their problems and heartaches came from the ML's action and inaction. <<less

I think the low rating is because people thought It was one of those face slapping ridiculous novels from the beginning. But I'm pleasantly surprised and excited that it's not. I'm always looking for good quality novels and the writing and translation are so good!

i binge mtl-ed this for 1 day and its worth it, even though a lot of my grammar cells died a tragic death.

totally recommended!

Spoiler

the empress was actually reincarnated due to the emperor dabbling in taoism-kind of incantation perform by a monk whose disciple was the intel broker, which may actually shorten the emperor's lifespan.

don't worry folks its HE!😁

I loved that novel !

I've read the translated chapters available and I MTLed the rest.

The novel isn't finished for now, but I loved it.

I want to read it again when all the chapters will be translated bc the MTL version is sometimes difficult to understand...

Many thanks to the translator

For starters I'm not entirely sure why would anyone look for the character's redeeming quality in a revenge-focused novel. In my opinion the story flows nicely albeit just a wee bit too slow, the side character's romance is... shocking as well. Basically everything you'd expect from the author.

The title made me brush off this book too many times lol. Good thing I've decided to read this book since it is sooo good.

I’m someone who reads book for emotional purposes, yeah the one with drama or angst sometimes tragedy. What I like about this story is that the author made it very suspense especially the angst part, made me really excited to find out more. MTL-ed the rest chapters but the it still made me feel very emotional.

Some might dislike the ML because of MC’s pov, but don’t!... more>> It is the usual trope of misunderstandings that made it more tragic/sad, it just that the ML made MC wait for him (political reasons) but MC is someone who is very rational (ML had become Emperor so concubines is inevitable etc etc)

Don’t wanna spoil because it was such a good read at least for me... but there’s a part where I was unsatisfied with

Spoiler

The ML and MC when they sleep together (literally sleep on the same bed) they dream of their past both on their pov. There is an occurrence wherein they’ve stopped dreaming and it’s because........ I do wish that it continued atleast to the part they’ve separated thru death of MC. But it didn’t :<<. BUT there’s a part later wherein MC dreamt of ML’s sufferings after her death, yeah those 3 years.

What I was unsatisfied with is that I wish that the ML also dreamt of MC’s sufferings wherein he was avoiding her because of Su’s treason and country’s matters (life of an emperor is pretty hectic) also during her pregnancy (plus concubines makes trouble for her) she’s so depressed and premature labor that caused her death. More angst :>

[collapse]

It’s their misunderstandings and insecurities that made it angsty, anyways it was also very fluff so fulfilling xD. The extra chapter is so funny lol it summarizes the whole book with their memories of previous life intact

Thank you to the translator for introducing such gem really. :>>> <<less

It’s a 4.5

Great story. Especially with the extras. Don’t expect fluffy romance or even strong romance. The love story build up little by little and is not very explicit until towards the end. The extras make up for it. Story is more focused on FL trying to get a place in the harem with a very political backdrop story going on. I love that the novel is short and how past lives moments are being introduced allowing both to know what was the other’s perspective of the same event.

Lovely and heartbreaking story, so far I quite like FL lead attitude which she doesn’t really care much about the past and constantly trying to survive for her and her child’s future in harem. I wish for the faster updates though I almost die waiting for the next chapter huhu

5/10. Honestly, I had high hopes because of the ratings, but it didn’t live up to my expectations. The writing felt super draggy, with too much politics and constant flashbacks. The ML’s redemption arc was weak, and there wasn’t even a 2nd ML to spice things up. I got so bored I started skipping chapters halfway through. The plot lacked depth, and it just wasn’t for me.

The cover made me miss this gem of a novel... Really, the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" has slapped me in the face...

Anyways, this novel is wonderfully written. It progresses rather slowly but builds the suspense and fills the gap with detailed world-building and other information about their past. This really gives a sense of depth to the characters and their contrasting reasoning and perspectives.

Too bad there's only 39 chapters out! I will be patiently waiting for the rest of the novel to be translated :)

A novel very similar to "the empress of military lineage" although the only thing similar is the bitterness felt by the FL for their past life, for what could have been but was not. I really liked the evolution as a couple of both protagonists. Not to mention the end. A little bitter, for those who start reading the ending for it is an open ending. For me both protagonists lived happily watching their children grow up.

I think overall it's just an ok story. I actually didn't even bother with the extras. I forced myself through the main story and by the end it was disappointing

I found myself gradually not caring for the main couple but even the secondary couple isn't that good either. So it was really hard to invest any emotion to any of the characters.

No intriguing characters or any interesting conflicts. No good villain either. A rather basic and anti-climatic story.

This is ultimately a readable but passable novel. You're not missing out... more>> much if you skip this, imho. <<less

The story was ok ok, not that wow. I liked that FL rebirth was know to few people which is a new way of thinking. There was not much of a fluffy, but I REALLY enjoyed the extras (I tried to read from another site, but the translation was manageable)

Views: The male lead complicated things he wanted best of both the worlds. He complicated his relationship by thinking he was protecting her but actually he was the one who hurt her and he still expects her to forgive him.

Interesting story so far. At least it is not more than 500 chapters. I have read up to chapter 39. It is holding my interest. Story about FL who died after childbirth. Rebirthed to look the same and entered the palace in order to see her son. From thereon, it is story of present and past alternatively where the FL and ML past relationships and misunderstanding were played in their dreams. There is also a mystery about FL's family who were supposedly punished due to alleged treason. Looking forward to... more>> see how the couple reconcile their differences and the outcome of the FL's family. Fast moving plot and some details which we ignore will reveal itself to be important later. Well written story. I recommend it. <<less
