He didn't inform the MC that he could get pregnant and then slept with him without protection. It was basically forced pregnancy, which is not cool if you are supposedly so in love with your other half that you can't live without him. He then keeps calling the MC wife, even though he was told to stop on multiple occasions. His thoughts are basically, 'you married a man so you have to be the wife' (somewhere in chapter 39-40). 'Husband and Husband' is a term that does exists in real life. The author seems to have forgotten that bit.

Oh! Everyone who offends the ML or his 'wife' has to get ra*ed.

He also treated the woman who MC considers a mother, the one who raised him after his mother dies and basically made his life with his family tolerable, like sh*t, and of course the MC doesn't say a word against it. This happened because of a tiny mistake on the part of the elderly lady, which is completely forgivable.

"Children play a role in keeping the family together."

MC also believes that they should have a child with the ML's DNA, but he was afraid that the ML would leave him after having the child. Like the child won't belong to both of you! The way he (MC) puts it is like it's his duty and obligation to allow the ML to have a child for the continuation of the bloodline. I'm sorry, but kind of primitive thinking is that? The original book is not very old, it was published in 2016.

Again, a few of the attack ideas have to include ra*e and mu*der, otherwise the story just can't progress

Didn’t they mentioned that Shang Yushang was a person who doesn’t fool around easily? Then why would this person hold his hand on the first meeting, hug him on the second meeting, and even kissed his forehead? And now he even began to give kisses, hugs and get touchy at times. Can anyone confirm if this man was indeed the legendary Young Master Shang? The gap between his character and image was simply too far apart!

Towards the end there are so many long, dragging chapters that do nothing except detail all of the He family's useless machinations. So much detail put into their plans to kidnap Changning's children, and then so much detail put into how the He family is fighting with each other. Then even more detail put into the He family's downfall. I honestly just skimmed most of it. It was so boring and felt like filler to get more chapters out of the story.

Basically, Changning goes into a coma after experiencing heavy blood loss and shock during the c-section and nearly dying. When he finally wakes up, Yushang's grandma and Changning's biological dad, and Aunt Qin won't even let Changning hold his babies. I am not even joking. They literally refuse to let Changning and Yusheng hold the babies because they want to take care of them instead. Changing kept saying how all he wanted was to hold his sons, but the elderly folks wouldn't let him. This was SO frustrating to read like, what right do they have to refuse to let Changning hold the children he nearly died giving birth to.

To add insult to injury. Changning's bio dad forces Changning to take over his company that is based overseas basically saying "it's fine if you have to travel overseas to run the company because me, aunt Qin, and Yusheng's grandma will take care of the kids." Changing doesn't want to leave his kids and says all he wants is to write his novels and raise his kids with Yusheng, but the grandparents don't care and force him to take over the company. It's stated later that Changning only gets to spend six months out of the year with Yusheng and his kids because the company that was forced on him is based overseas.

He Changning was a character who was introduced as someone who hated the Yin's so much. Also introduced that he was an outstanding individual even if he was a young man in his 20s. HE finished his studies earlier than his PEERS FFS and then it all went down the drain like a very big disrespect for the guy. He is supposed to be smart and vigilant but he stayed in the house of the family who ruined his life instead of moving out after the marriage talks with the two family AT THIS POINT HE ALREADY SIGNED PAPER TO SEVERE HIS TIES WITH THE YIN FAMILY YET HE STAYED. He refused Yushang's idea of moving to another house before marriage even while knowing the people in that very house wants to see him suffer and be under their command. He got drugged by two drugs instead. After that plot, his supposed intelligence were never to be seen again even until the very last chapter. He got dumbed down and I didn't like that one bit. From start to finish, not one character in this story helped shape Changning into a better person after leaving the Yin family.

He was a cunning and calculative guy. A president of a very large enterprise. A s*ave of his wife's every whim. That's the only consistent thing in the story. What I hate is that he also got dumbed down to the point that nothing else mattered for him and just glued himself to his wife 24/7. Every chapter with them is the both of them together like conjoined twins. The plot even introduced that the Shang family is a very dangerous family but after the part where Changning got drugged, he never had long moments in the office again. And both of them are present in every chapter and are always together. And Yushang new Changning could give birth to children but never talked about it with his wife and just made him pregnant without telling Changning. R*pe.

Please. Just kill me. The family feud with the Yin family was enough for me. But then the He family was introduced, I just wanted to skip to the end. BOTH FAMILIES DISREGARDED THE FACT THAT HE CHANGNING AND HIS MOTHER SEVERED TIES WITH BOTH FAMILY IN THEIR LIFETIME. Them continuously asking for support and the rights to have Changning's child is preposterous. Most especially the fact that the head of the He family claims that Changning's children should be in their custody when they didn't even contact Changning for the past 20 years! The villains here are too dumb it makes my scalp go numb.

After Changning birthing the twins, he and yushang were not allowed to hold nor be in contact with the twins for long periods of time. I understand the concern and reserve with Changning carrying the baby but Yushang was also not allowed to carry the baby. I find this ridiculous. How is this situation different with the Head of the He family's greed to take away the children? They were only allowed to carry the children when the twins reached their 100 month celebration or something. I got irritated and at this point I just wanted to finish the novel quickly.

It turns out, MC who grew up in the Yin family wasn't blood related to them at all. His maternal family is the He clan, his biological father (Gu clan) shows up towards the end of the novel with another unexpected plot twist.

I'm rarely voting or commenting on the novels I'm reading. I also don't know why I am doing it for this novel. Maybe I just want to rant a bit *shrugs*

I admit my rating of 2 stars is really low, but there IS indeed a reason for it. And that would be the fact that I detest Shang Yushang. Yes, basically from the moment on they met, he's clingy to MC and protects him almost to the point of imprisoning him and this novel could indeed be counted as a fluff novel. If there wasn't one point that makes me flare up in anger whenever I read the ML's name.

That point is the fact that ML knew about MC's identity as a descendant of the Mu Yi Clan (which meant MC was able to get pregnant) right from the beginning and married him really just for this one reason.

If you read the novel and pay attention to it, he mentions several times that he wants MC to get pregnant as soon as possible and therefore beds him daily for several hours straight!! Worst thing is the fact that he refuses to tell MC anything about it until MC's pregnancy can no longer be hidden.

And to top it off, MC who was said to be a straight shou should obviously be upset about being deceived and being pregnant, but he just brushes it off like: What? Pregnant? How? Why? Well whatever, I'll just give birth since it's already like this.

It's really ridiculous seeing him falling ill and being depressed over the fact that he's able to get pregnant, but upon hearing he was definitely pregnant, he just happily accepted it.

Also, the fact that this "straight shou" is only straight for one day is unreasonable. I mean, they meet once for the marriage talk. The next day MC is getting hugged, kissed and mol*sted and doesn't really react all that much to it. They call each other for a few days and suddenly without reason, MC has fallen for ML, has no qualms at all about sleeping in the same bed and shows no signs of being uncomfortable at all, even the "wedding night" happens straight during the first few days of the honeymoon trip. Why? When? Where's the development? There wasn't any development at all. He just gets overwhelmed by that shameless fellow and that's it.

I'm sorry, from my point of view this novel could have been so good, but ML deceiving MC like that and MC being stated as an initially straight shou is just... It makes me sad. If the author hadn't stated that MC was straight and ML wasn't such a scheming b... boy who is lying to MC for months straight until he can't hide his lies anymore, I would most probably praise this novel up to heaven!

Thinking about it, if you aren't as oversensible as me and don't mind the two points above, but like to read fluffy novels with tons of face-slapping and overly idiotic cannon fodder-villains, please try this novel, you should like it. Because the face-slapping is quite good. Nothing happens to MC and the instigators almost immediately receive their retribution. ML is also very powerful, in the later part of the novel (last 20ish chapters), there are also hidden identities, family drama will be discovered and some secrets about MC will be revealed, which nobody knew about until that point.

So overall, the plot is indeed quite good. I just can't bring myself to rate this novel higher than I did just now. But I wish for everyone who is starting or continuing this novel: Have fun and enjoy it :)

i saw "fluffy" in the reviews so I bit. in reality it was flat. the story is ooooooooooookay but the translation is meh and at times cringeworthy, so a flat story was made even flatter. if you read it, then read it with the expectation of a sub mediocre story line and character development with inconsistent logic and time gap strangeness. it's the kind you can MTL and not miss a single detail. in fact i'd rec just MTLing; you can breeze through it without fear of missing any good lines or important story points.

i know the guidelines say not to review the translator but the translation is the presentation of the story so it's an integral aspect that can't be divorced from it.

translation:

it's mostly ok. honestly the english on par with some good ESL stuff. there are the usual confusion between adjectives, verbs and their progressive tenses. you know the kind that happens when you edit a line to change the tense and feel of something, but then forget to align everything else with the new tense so it comes across garbled?

like this: it incorrectedly mixing and using the tenses.

you stumbled reading it didn't you? now imagine reading that kind of syntax every few sentences.

it doesn't happen all the time but it happens consistently enough to be distracting, so I don't think it's a mistake in the proofing process so much as just poor english. combine that with the uncommon english used, like this from the story here:

"But the precondition to that was if it doesn't concern my lifetime's happiness." [As long as it doesn't concern my happiness yes. If it does, then all bets are off.//honeslty i'd have been happy if all the tenses just matched up.]

or

"... captured everyone's expression..." [... noted everyone's expression...]

or

".. external grandfather..." [?? i've never seen that before.//maternal?].

the expressions are definitely intentional and not typos because they recur all over the place. the lines are understandable but the verbs aren't used in the common way (or even poetically) so it's awkward to read.

there's an editor, but the work provided by that person isn't worthy of being credited. the difference between the edited chapters and the unedited chapters were... not noticeable at all. the translator (ebisu translators) worked hard on it, s/he/they should just take all the credit. yeah, I know all my examples were critical, but there were plenty of proper and perfectly fine translations in the story, i'd say half of it overall. it's just that the poorly done lines were so consistently garish they stuck out in my mind and left the strongest impression. so if you want to judge, then read it for yourself, otherwise just take my word for it.

for some reason the the author wrote the MC as an intelligent author who graduated college early in the start of the story but then never let the MC use his intelligence for anything. What is even the point of writing that the MC graduated college early then?

They also get r*ped which I find horrifying. In my opinion, r*pe is something that no one should be subjected to, not even villains. I know this story doesn't take place in the US, but in the US r*pe would probably by cruel and unusual punishment.

He falls in love with MC at first sight. I know this happens in other novels, but the depth and the quickness shocks me. In addition, all the ML does is pamper his "wife" who doesn't even want to be called that. I feel like the poor MC only loves the ML because the ML was the first to show him love. The MC also has no say in really anything, including his pregnancy. The ML didn't even think tell him he was or could get pregnant! What happened to communication between lovers? And when the MC finally found out, I was really hoping that he would be mad more and not just give in.

After the first incident with Yin Hao, the ML doesn't treat her very well. The author mentions that the MC thinks of her like a mother figure, but he doesn't seem to care about her after he lives with ML. How very filial.
