Description

Gu Shishi, a master of traditional Chinese painting, transmigrated into the role of a cannon fodder in a cliché novel.

The cannon fodder female supporting character was switched at birth. She had barely spent a few days with her biological parents before she was tossed into the wolf’s den by those same parents. Her parents, having no heart to send their fake daughter with a heart disease to live a hard life, forced the real daughter into becoming the replacement. Gu Shishi was sent away to marry the big villain – the rumored evil, cruel, and wife-cursing first young master of the Huo’s.

On the very first day that she had transmigrated, she had to face her fated tragic death….

Luckily, she had also inadvertently discovered the path to altering her fate!

— The more gifts she received from the big villain, the longer she could live and the more cheats she would gain!

hello, MTL-er here! This is an ongoing story, as of 121 chapters currently! It's a story of fluff! The plot isn't much, which is great! It's more of the development of feelings of the main couple, with some elements about thr female lead's painting and interactions with others. Anyway, the maincouple is cuteeee! Haha, I really ship them! It's quite amusing too!

I frickin love this story, ah QAQ Now I regret MTLing this one story in advance because it's still ongoing QAQ

BUT, this really is a nice story. In my opinion, the pace of the story is great. The villain is not too much of an OP, just a normal villain. The MC and ML too, is not an OP character. Yes, the MC has a system, but it's not too much; the system basically guides her to come and shower love to her husband and complete what she didn't have... more>> in her previous life. The system is not a crazy OP one that will just give anything for the MC. Lmao, their interaction is cute too~~

The story really is just my cup of tea. The author works hard o/ translator-san too, work hard o/ <<less

I don't even know how was I able to read until c91. The story is very boring imo. The MC and ML are truly meant for each other. Two boring character whose role is just stand there and be the perfect person.

This is a fun novel to read, and as far as dog blood drama and romances go, this one is actually quite healthy and fair. No excessive punishments or immoral revenge, the ends the villains receive give them a chance for a future where they may turn a new page.

The villains are also not too cartoonish and not overly dumb. The upper class is also portrayed to have good people and not too polarizing.

For the romance, I love that the ML isn't domineering in a unhealthy manner. He's quite the... more>> conservative and jealous type, but never crosses a line or lashes out. He uses his influence within the law and is morally good as well. No dubcon.

The MC's painting background also makes the story more interesting. She doesn't become an instant genius businesswoman or socialite, but focuses on her painting and the art circle.

All in all, the story follows the tropes of it's genre but, unlike many others, tries to execute it within morally upright limits. A good light read if you just want to read a dog blood story. <<less

I tried to read this novel because the review perk up my attentions.

Unfortunately after I read more than 20 chapters, I found out that this is not my cup of tea at all.

I'm done with this overuse face slapping routine, low IQ and vicious young people--goodness, they should go to church and pray for the God to let those devil stay away from them so as not they will not commit a sin.

Agh. Why do I always encounter an MC who can get everything so easily?! Y'know she's already beautiful but the author seems to plan to make her become the most beautiful in the entire Galaxy and seriously, she's already talented in painting why must needs some kind of skills that can make her godly? 😑💢

Truthfully I nearly skipped this after reading the reviews. BUT it wasn't so bad, not really worth 5 stars but I feel guilty for almost skipping it so I give it an additional Star.

The MC seems to be stuck with a system whose only job is to be pleasing the ML. Unlike a certain review that gave me the impression that the MC was given everything in a silver plate and was hella OP with skills left and right. The MC has a system that makes her do things in order to live. And she is not ungrateful of the ML as she does even if selfish reasons still thinks of the ML's death which will be 2 years from when they met. The ML is not even evil like most CN where the ML get revenge by plotting for the cannon fodder or villain be r*ped for whatever they did to the MC. The MC forgives people who are genuinely sorry for their actions and even gives people the chance to repent. Unlike some CN you have an MC who never gives an ounce of thought that people can change.
MC also seems to fall for the ML early on, and most of the task after the marriage cannot be fulfilled if love or affection is not in the equation. The MC's only ability is to paint and she already has years of training and was close to being good but with the system she could improve. From what I understood from the MLT, even without the systems help she was able to recreate the same feelings into her art.
Not to mention the fact the most of the tasks that needed to be fulfilled were either inevitable or just certain incidents happened to have allowed it to be fulfilled. Eg. When she got the task to get married, the ML was already planning to ask her before the task was issued.

I personally liked this story a lot. There are certain an ample amount of satisfying face-slapping moments. The MC's system is not crazy OP - as in she could just pull out anything from it to solve any problems that she might be facing. MC was witty and her Chinese painting ability made the story much more interesting.

In addition to the main plot between MC and ML, the MC's interactions with the various supporting characters were interesting as well. :)

I liked that the ML (male lead) and the MC (main character) didn't fall in love right away and that the ML remains skeptical of the MC's intentions, not letting himself fall in, but that's it. The MC of this story is just too much of a goody two shoes, not-like-other-girls kind of girl. I remember rolling my eyes mentally when finding out the backstory of the original. The plan the OG (original) came up with is just so dumb that I don't think my five year... more>> old cousin would approve it. It was most likely made this way to justify the MC taking over the OG's body and to juxtapose how much of a cool gal the MC is in comparison with the OG for not falling in love so easily. But let's be real, that's not the problem. The problem was the OG's IQ.

Another scene I remember disliking was when the MC showed everyone her superior painting skills, it really felt cringey. I didn't sign up for a Mary Sue I wanted to see an underdog who used their system in a smart way!

And let's not forget how terribly sad the OG's backstory was. How she was abused and manipulated out of her money while her step sis gets to live the high life. It is such a cheap way to garner pity!

But that's enough of being frustrated. At the end of the day it's not even close to the worst thing ever, it's just mediocre, below average, bland and thus deserves a 2, maybe 2.3~ <<less

Only at C33, which I'm guessing is probably around C10 for the raws (translator had likely split up the raw chapts into 3 parts as each chapt is super short), my first impression of this story was: Beauty and the Beast. It's not entirely the same concept but it's similar in the sense that the ML is like the lonely Beast who craves companionship but is afraid of getting rejected due to his special circumstances.

ML is known as the cursed, harbinger of bad luck, everyone is afraid of him... more>> and thus he leads an isolated life in his mansion with his servants. He has a grumpy nature (his Doctor calls him Grim Huo) but is actually a huge softie. He is sensitive to FL's mood and is a closeted tsundere. I have a soft spot for characters like this...

The missions gives by FL's systems are actually pretty fun. I liked how eating is also considered as gifts by the ML and each meal powers up her life bar a little.

FL is adaptable and happy-go-lucky, she doesn't dwell on unnecessary negativity and is whole heartedly focused on extending her life bar. She's happy to latch onto ML even when he persistently scares her away and made her do chores like a housemaid.

Characters are rather 2 dimensional and the writing isn't groundbreaking phenomenal, but I enjoyed it. This would appeal to people looking for something lighthearted to read. <<less

This is a fun novel.

It uses the FL “life” to force her to get close to the emotionally damaged ML.
ML is cold and not close to anyone since he believes they will be hurt if they are close to him.

I will say that the system is more for the ML instead of the FL but the FL never complains. What women doesn’t want to be more beautiful.

Spoiler

These are some of the stuff that the system gives her....

Snow White halo - pure white skin, red lips, black hair with 50% less hair loss - basic Snow White description

a drunk halo (don’t remember the name) - when the system detects the FL drinking alcohol, it gives the perfect affects to the person. Rosy cheeks, misty eyes... basically makes her very edible <cough>

newly web wife halo - makes her extremely edible. System suggest not to use too much or may be a problem for the FL <cough>

It seems the system not only gives her life but it really works to make her the perfect wife.

It also has additional “skills” to increase the FL artistic abilities to smash past her Master class to Grandmaster. The FL uses this to help her break through to a higher level.

Now to unlock them, you have to read. The system does work on the dog feeding thought process.

[collapse]

For most of the people, it really doesn’t go too far being the antagonist.
There are only 1 true antagonist and multiple people who continue to make bad decisions.

Spoiler
  • Fake sister - this person is just too greedy. As long as you put greed as her main motivation, you can see her doing all the things in the novel.
  • FL mother - does not think so she only has eyes on the white wolf daughter (can understand since she took care of the sick daughter all throughout.) She may be the worse off since she truly loved the fake and put all her heart in keeping her alive. This could have closed off what she should have done.
  • FL dad - just another me me type. He doesn’t consider others as long as it benefits him.
  • ML mother and grandmother - they just lost their minds. Not bad but..... really blaming other so they don’t have to think about it.
[collapse]
The reason for people think ML is bad news

Spoiler

As far as I can understand MTL, the father died of an accident. The grandfather died of a broken heart when the father died. So how could this be caused by the son???!?

The mother and grandmother just blames him so they don’t have to face the reality. Really weak in too many ways.

[collapse]

There are no messy assassination, in your face slapping, convoluted plots, and other messy melodramatic angles. This is mainly about how the FL tries to hang onto the ML and gets gifts to live. That is the main plot and that is done in a way that is fun and interesting. The others come in to add to the main plot but never to override what the main story is about.

note: there is fluff and dog food but not overly sweet. The FL is the main victim of trying to make the dog food. Hahaha <<less

The story is about a woman who transmigrated, but with the catch that she must receive $1000 from her husband for 1 day of life through gifts or through food. The catch is that the ML is a germaphobe and had a difficult childhood, thus he is not interested in being near the MC.

It's a very interesting system with that kind of mission. It's very funny though, and I definitely recommend it.

I think readers are very generous with their ratings. ^_^

The story could have been better had there been any ups and downs in the FL's life. I felt bad for everyone lese in the story. Everyone's scampering around trying to do tings, and here's our FL who gets cheats after cheats. It felt like the system was her father and was doing everything to make the road as smooth as possible for the FL.

This is one of those novels which could be rewritten for another transmigration story.
