It took him a while, though only a two chapters time, to realise that he is in love with her and so he treats her well even before they are even married.

The main character is a transmigrated soul, who basically robbed the original's body and rebirth by accident, through her casual schemes and playful personality, she gains the attention and affection of the ML almost immediately. You read about how his deeply ingrained mindset of polygamy changes as his feelings for her become more sincere, contrasting to the previous life's incarnation of the typical scummy emperor playing around with his concubines. Furthermore rather than the typical one sided demonization of other rival women, you read about their perspectives and you truly do empathise with them, those non MCs such as the abandoned wife and forgotten concubines whose livelihoods depend solely on this one man's favour, and are raised to believe their whole life's purpose is to be confined at home and birth sons.

Throughout the plot, the MC maintains a kind of mask, manipulating the ML and adjusting her personality accordingly to fit his tastes and there is some back and forth between them as he recognises that she is not in love with him, but towards the ending, she does reflect on her feelings and how without her noticing, the 'enchantress' fell in his trap. (Btw, its not like other stories in that she never reveals her transmigrator/rebirth origins to him)

the ML love the MC a lot and didn't want touch other women so in the wedding night of his official wife he give her the allusion that they slept together but the truth is that he let other women who was guard or something to take her v*rginity away while he spend that night having s*x with the MC. The poor women thought that her v*rginity was taking by her husband but the truth she was r*ped that night no one deserve something like that happen to them after that I couldn't look at him the same

the ML LOVE THE MC a lot every one can see that including the MC but she acted like it's nothing, the ML know that she didn't give her heart to him, so he ask for it she said only if he doesn't touch other women be loyal to her if he fail he need to divorce her of course he agreed.I can understand this but in the same time I find her selfish and unfair

because if she wanted a man only belong to her she should married before the imperial selection but she didn't she CHOSE THIS BY HERSELF to marry the prince known fully what the situation is. She could have loyal man as she wish but because she was lazy she didn't. Asking him to only belong to her is really unfair to other women that also belong to the ML most of those women have no other choice of being here and some were forced by their parent, even so because of the MC they have to live their life like widows and they could not have even a child to accompany them in this lonely life while the MC enjoy the ML LOVE AND to be called mother and those poor women can only watch

some will say it's the ML responsibility alone but is it really ?! When the MC married to him she know his situation she unlike other MC in other story who were force into the situation she have full control of her choice so she also responsible

a few cultivation pellets to increase her health and beauty, cure poison

the way their relationship evolved from your usual tsundere kind into a co dependent faithful relationship is so beautiful. The fact that the ML stay faithful and indulging MC until her last breath is so heartbreaking, truly tear inducing

When her birth chart is sad to be bad for the imperial clan bc of divination bs, she magically got out of trouble bc her chart is identical to a deceased princess royal and war hero born exactly 2 decades prior. We didn't even get any foreshadowing, she just straight up did the big reveal and the readers were somehow supposed to be impressed?

the main wife and that one concubine he r*ped as a punishment.

If he's really smart or smthg, he must realize that having LOTS of women and not touching them or chasing them out will bring him enormous problems. At least do something about it!

I didn't mean she should be a total heroine and save everyone and everything that breathing. I just think she should has more empathy. Especially toward peole who didn't treat her wrong. I can't see any difference of her character and the antagonist's. They all just sly, deceitful, boot lickers, jealous and heartless person with no moral principles.

They only show kindness and help people who they could use.

Does the MC truly love ML? She doesn't look like one. All she did is seduce, sleep and taking advantage from him. I HATE the way she cling at him- I hate that the women in this story have no independency, no will for further knowledge, no trust to their selves. All the do and they think is to curry favor from their owners and bearing a child! I want to scream of frustration.

Even the reborn one wasn't do any better. Everyone here are so vengeful. Don't the feel tired?or no one in this story could feel?

ok so we all know she married the ML because the original owner married him in their previous life (and had a bad ending) but xi yao just wants to be pampered as an "imperial consort" so she went into his harem.

but when the ML starts liking her.. she says she wants a monogamous relationship? I mean, I do get it, it's hard to accept a husband who has multiple other wives with a modern mindset, but this is ancient china.. I felt especiallly bad when she told him not to touch the other consorts because it's unfair. an unfavoured consort would fall into tricks of the harem, and they may even be mistreated. however they still CANNOT get divorced on their own. even if the other party suggests it, their lives are practically ruined. SO HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO SPEND THEIR REST OF THEIR LIVES?! BY ROTTING IN THE HAREM??? THEY WON'T EVEN HAVE A CHILD TO CARE FOR IF HE DOESNT SLEEP WITB THEM, WTF man they married the wrong person..

there's also the fact that SHE was the one who wanted to be the most favoured and pampered and was actively trying to get the ml's affection, but has no intention of reciprocating if he doesn't convert to a monogamous person? bruh

I feel extra sad for them because I don't even remember their names lmao. I'll call them #1 and #2. #1 had outstanding beauty but was kinda rude, while #2 was chosen because of her virtuous nature and good figure.

i cried for #2 ngl. I think they mentioned at some point that she was a family oriented person and she was chosen as the prince's concubine because she would be good at bearing and taking care of children. guess what? the prince even lowkey forgot her existence bruhhh. the reason being, "she has the personality of a wood" LIKE, MAYBE SHE'S SHY? did you even try to get to know her??? because I wouldn't be able to calm myself if I was before a PRINCE- especially for a "virtuous" person like her, how could she ever act like Mu Xi Yao?._. and not to mention, the prince's only personality traits are pampering the FL and being a hidden gary sue
