Hi everyone!

I am the translator for this Novel and I promise to finish this through and treat this as my first baby.

Anyways, if you've already browsed through this page and is tempted to read - start now!

... more>> Coz you are up for a great ride. It may be a long novel but I vouch for it to be a great one.

We'll see growth for both characters though it may be slow on the part of our FL. If you want to see novels with family love, this novel promises it too. For the most part, all I did not like was the indecisiveness of our FL's Father in terms of love and his political aspirations. The reason being his promises to his ancestors to serve the court by all means. I love how our FL grew up from being naïve to vigilant just to protect the welfare of our ML.

All in all this was a great read with not too much angst to get our days by.

ENJOY READING! <<less

First of all if you come here looking for fluff? Then this might not be for you, but if you’re looking for passionate love story amidst of war and chaos then you’re in the right place.

if you want more information abt the book Others already write their reviews but from me, I always focus on romance so i, of course is gonna talk m abt that

the romance is of high quality premium. So passionate and deep, the type when one die, the other would follow of deep. There were a... more>> lil bit of misunderstanding but they were resolved pretty quickly thanks to FL willingness to communicate. The love did not just suddenly come but you will see how two people slowly form the strongest bond.

I also must mentioned how this novel has one of greatest and most admirable ML I’ve seen so far and I’ve read a lot books. He’s the type that would be mentioned in history for being a great man.

this novel also has many great characters development which each got their own well deserved ending. The wars scene is also very exciting, I was sometimes anxious but then gasp in excitement a few times <<less

So this starts out with misunderstandings--the ML marries the FL to get revenge on her family. BUT, they end up communicating? He falls in love with her HARD. And ultimately, this couple has one of the healthiest (and spiciest) relationships I've read in a novel. Like couple goals. Will definitely re-read this again.

I read The Marquis is Innocent and Pihanjin before this and to be honest, author's writing is not that good. The writing is better than average webnovel author but still not as good as review sections made it out to be. While I could still enjoy both novel I mentioned before, I could not make myself to continue reading this. I really thought it would be more interesting based on the first few chapters, but author's story telling lacks character depth. The times where the author tries to make some... more>> character feel like it has color is mundane, as it is not compelling enough for readers to like them (I'm talking about FL parents here), if not, just make the characters feel annoying. <<less

I went into this book craving a Blossom-type relationship where we have a couple who work together and don’t have unnecessary misunderstandings or dramatic breakups. In that sense, this book did satisfy me, but it’s important to say that this is not really a romance novel in like the traditional sense.

There is a central couple, and their relationship is stable once it’s established, but romance is not the main driver of the story. The book is much more focused on war, strategy, travel, and political movement. There are long, vivid... more>> descriptions of military campaigns and journeys, and the romantic relationship often takes a backseat. I didn’t actually mind that, because once the couple is together, they don’t have those frustrating communication issues they function as partners except for

Spoiler

This one r*pey scene but honestlyits pei lang ke writing so I'mjust glad it wasn'tas bad as the marquis is innocent

[collapse]

The writing itself is decent. Pei Lang Ke is a decent author, and the world feels detailed and lived-in. Prepare yourself coz we get POVs from other characters too not just the main couple. We actually don't get alot of POV from Li mu to get into his head and see his thinking which maybe annoyed me a little.

This is also technically a reincarnation story, but honestly, that element felt less important than I expected. The male lead remembers his past life, but it doesn’t strongly drive the plot. Aside from him marrying the female lead earlier than before, I didn’t feel like the past-life knowledge created major strategic changes. So I wouldn’t recommend this to someone specifically looking for a reincarnation-driven narrative.

One thing I found interesting was the contrast between the female lead and her parents. Her parents’ marriage shows what happens when people don’t communicate since they lose years to misunderstandings and distance. I liked that the female lead seems to learn from that and behaves differently in her own relationship.

As for Gao Qiao (the father), I understood his role, but he was frustrating. His loyalty to a clearly failing imperial family felt stubborn and sometimes illogical, especially when it led him to oppose the main characters. I get that he represents traditional loyalty, but emotionally, he was hard to like.

The leads never loose lol like one of the reviewers has said so that kept everything honestly super low stakes which is what I was looking for.

Overall, I’d call this a solid read rather than an unforgettable one. It’s not a five-star favorite, but it kept me engaged, scratched the historical/strategy itch I had, and gave me a functional, drama-free central relationship. For 170 chapters, it was a worthwhile read. <<less

It’s a well written novel. Quite interesting if you are into court politics. The FL is a rabbit, her whole life has been decided by someone else, it was like that in her first life and even more so in her second life. She is reborn but it’s not bringing her any benefits as she doesn’t remember anything, I honestly doubt she is the one reborn. ML also had a rebirth, I am more inclined that the rebirth trigger is him.

Of all the characters only the FL mother and ML... more>> have my respect. FL mother should have been the protagonist, she is smart proud but straightforward. It would have made a more interesting pairing with the ML than her actual husband.

The one I despised the most is the FL father. He is a prime minister but he is useless, unable to protect anyone. Instead of protecting the country, he is protecting the royalty that had been failing the people of the country and force his vision onto the ML.

The most dumb prime minister among all novels I have read (except the one where the king promoted guy to that position to use the guy as a pawn so don’t need a smart dude). Strongly suspect that’s the case here as he isn’t smart or shrewd like a prime minister of that period should be.

The romance part is great. <<less

I caught up and then mtl’d the rest. Have to say that I’ll definitely come back and reread this later.

One of the better romance with plot that I’ve read in awhile. Like another review mentioned, the couple actually communicates (unlike FL’s own parents) and make concessions towards each other. I love both of their character development. FL is your typical sheltered high class lady but she’s not completely naive. She’s smart and knows her own mind. She trusts people willingly but she’s also not afraid to cut people off as... more>> they betray her. In that sense, she’s a lot like her father. Her mother is a lot more hot headed and emotional. As she gets married and gets more exposed to the political drama between the court, her family, and her husband, she comes into her own and actually maneuvers herself pretty well through it. ML on the other hand, is on a path of revenge. However, as he gets to know her and falls in love with her, he realizes that his revenge is gonna hurt/affect her and those she cares about but he doesn’t want to give up his revenge. Instead, he revised his plans to go through the “proper” channels after a few particularly angsty moments. It might seem like he’s sacrificing for her but I think that he’s not. In a relationship, there has to be a give and take. But she also does her own share of giving later down the line. She unconditionally supports and believes in him while he would do anything to protect her.

I also agree with another review that FL’s father was very wishy washy. Imo, he tried to have the best of both worlds without really putting in the work, especially regarding his relationship. Her mother is not completely faultless but I’d say that a good chunk of it was due to him valuing his career over his wife. Imo, he was a good official and father but he was a horrible husband. He’s the traditional scholar: intelligent and romantic. Instead of getting rid of things at the root, he’s willing to make concessions for “the greater good”. And he forgives people as soon as they apologize. You’d think he would have more instincts being a court official for so long. A lot of things comes back to him because he’s too willing to forgive for the “greater good”. Ie

Spoiler

he gets separated from his wife/newborn son because he forgave a lady who saved him some 20 years ago one too many times.

It's very good. I have a lot to say. Although it's good, the suspense really killed me. Did you read the tag's 'Complicated Family'? IT IS, it is really complicated. From the FL's family, the old royal family, the new royal family, and even the family from a different kingdom. There's like a lot of political war and a lot, lot, lot of schemings, from both men and women. THIS IS WHY I ALWAYS FELT TENSE WHEN READING THIS.

You may feel upset or irritated with how FL and her family... more>> treat ML on the second timeline. Or perhaps you sympathize with FL and are upset with ML instead. In either case, I assure you. The story will become better and their attitude will also gradually change.

As bookwurm said, FL and ML are a couple who will communicate BUT this only happens in mid mid-stage of their relationship.

Because at first, either FL or ML will hide their worries and problems because of their own circumstance.

FL is a noble girl so she kinda looked down on ML and only thought ML was a barbarian and disgusted person. From FL's perceptive, you cannot truly blame her since she was actually already promised to be married to another nobleman who is also her childhood friend. But ML, out of nowhere, asked her father for marriage to FL, which of course was protested by many people. But because ML won the competition against FL's childhood friend who will be her future husband, no one can really object and ML finally can marry FL. You would probably already guessed what FL's feelings toward ML are at this time.

While ML is a commoner who has a great ability when it comes to the leading army. He also has a hidden secret as his weapon:

Spoiler

his knowledge from his memory of past life a.k.a the first lifetime

[collapse]

He uses that weapon to ensure his revenge and also FL's safety because of their past life, in his own way. On their wedding night in the second lifetime, FL directly rejects ML and looks at him with disgusted eyes. He understood at that time, that FL was different from the FL in the first lifetime, that's why he always keeps a respected distance from her and also hides what he truly feels or thinks, no one can predict his movement, making him like a wildcard.

Not only FL and ML, FL's parents, her father, and her mother also have an important figure in the story, I won't tell you much, since bookwurm and other reviews already tell the general plot of FL's parents' story.

I said this beforehand to warn you so you have a general idea of the story. Like I said in the beginning, there are lot, lot, lot of schemings and betrayals. But I can assure you, this novel has a happy ending, and everyone gets their deserved ending. The novel also only has 171 chapters which is not a lot for a Chinese novel so give this novel a chance :) <<less

In Spring River Flowers and Moon, Gao Luoshen is a privileged young lady from an aristocratic family. Li Mu is the upstart military officer who forces a marriage. Can Luoshen come to love this man who turns her life upside down?

As someone who is always looking for romances that give their male leads a good amount of POV chapters, this was a good book. Especially considering that it was a rebirth, and Li Mu was the only one who remember everything for majority of the story.

There was a lot of... more>> male yearning done here, and I really enjoyed that.

So, if you like rebirth, he fell first, and people who don’t lose, then this one is for you.

Also, I read this on My Drama Novel which only had 170 chapters, so if you know where that last chapter is please send the link. <<less
