The Fierce Illegitimate Miss

Description

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

Yu Linglong is the shu (born of a concubine) daughter in a general’s family. Since her mother was only a tribute dancer, her position is the lowest of the low. She used to live with her mother outside the father’s residence, and they only received some monthly money from him. He didn’t bother seeing them. But when her mother dies, she moves into the general’s residence.

The general is a very irresponsible and violent man. He doesn’t really get attached to women, just letting his lust dictate his actions. His wife is a jealous woman, who killed one of his previous concubines, because he doted on her too much. She similarly wants to get rid of Yu Linglong, in part to vent her frustrations over her husband’s cheating habits.

Because the sixth miss – the general’s legitimate daughter, was bitten by a snake, she needs detoxification. The cure was apparently getting poisoned by scorpions, to fight one poison with another. But since she’s already weak, they decided it would be better if she drank the blood of someone poisoned by scorpions instead. The general’s madam naturally decided to use Yu Linglong’s blood. During the process of getting bitten by the scorpion, the original timid Yu Linglong died of fright (and maybe poison? it’s never made clear). Then Yu Mei takes over her body.

Yu Mei is a modern woman. She was some mafia boss, so she’s very capable with fighting and overbearing attitude. She died because the man she fell in love with betrayed her and killed her. So she doesn’t trust easily afterward.

Since she took over Yu Linglong’s body, she refuses to adapt to the circumstances of a lowly illegitimate daughter, and uses her violence to fight for a peaceful life, where no one will challenge her and plot against her. Basically, she beats them up into submission. In the meantime, she acquires a tail – a very persistent prince, who only seems to stick to her harder, the colder she treats him. Did ancient men have such heavy tastes, she wonders.

Summary:

A mafia boss transmigrates into the body of a concubine's daughter mistreated by the rest of the household.

Forget subtlety or schemes -- all problems will be solved with violence!

... more>> Review:

So far, I have yet to see anything that distinguishes this series from other black-bellied reincarnator stories, other than the fact that the MC just physically beats up anyone who wrongs her.

There's a lot of suspension of belief going on -- you have to ignore how her sudden 180-degree personality change and socially-unacceptable actions are simply feared and respected.

I'll keep reading this for now and update my review later. <<less

I don't know what to make of this story. It is super violent at times.

Yes, it was fun to read a badass MC who was straight-up wish fulfillment for all the MCs who went to the past and had to go along with everything but it quickly degenerates into that slap meme. She literally beats up/slaps everyone who treats her badly. Somehow, she's super strong despite that not being a trait she had in her past life or that the host has.

Then we get into her being more manipulative, which... more>> is awesome, but it takes a bit to get there. To the point that I almost gave up on reading this story. I only chose to finish reading it after I read a spoiler regarding the ML but a story shouldn't make me feel like it's a chore to get to the good stuff.

The MC transmigrates into the body of a young girl just as the girl is forced to put her hand into a jar of scorpions. Unlike the original, the MC is a ruthless and highly trained woman who led an underground group (mafia possibly, thugs definitely). She knows how to fight and how to do what needs to be done to survive. However, she is not needlessly cruel. She only pays back to people what they attempt to do to her and her mu*der spree doesn't start until a pivotal part in the story.

Spoiler

She bonded with Old Lady Yu, the grandmother of the host she had taken over. Prior to meeting her, the MC only beat people up to make her life better. Once the Grandmother gets poisoned and dies, the MC goes full nuclear on the family, starting with the woman who poisoned the Grandmother. By the time the story is done, no one from the Yu family is left unscathed.

[collapse]

The ML is the youngest prince who is known for being a troublemaker in the capital. He acts like a drunk and does all sorts of crazy things to ensure that the crown prince doesn't try to kill him. All because he's the favoured ninth son of the Emperor. He courts the MC to continue this facade but quickly finds her difference to be interesting (which is justifiable because she acts nothing like a woman from ancient China).

Spoiler

In reality, he is the leader of the Emperor's secret guard and a master martial artist (among other things). His backstory is mildly horrific because his mother was infected with the plague before he was sent to the Mongols when he was only 7 and nearly everyone in his entourage was killed. He spent most of his life learning how to survive before returning to his home and having to face his nutjob older brother who has a god complex and wants to kill him.

[collapse]

So, the majority of this story is literally people having a surprised Pikachu face when they do something to the MC and she retaliates in often horrific ways. She gets a reputation in the Capital for acting a certain way but people refuse to believe she will respond to them because she's a girl (I guess?). She goes from being the unfavored daughter to becoming Prince Xu's wife and leader of a large portion of the underbelly of the capital.

Of course, it's not all blood and manipulation. The MC makes a friend who is a cheerful young girl who really has one setting and that's crushing on the young lord of another house. It's like reading a kid talking about a celebrity. This bestie of the MC was adorable to read but this makes her fate such a gut punch.

Spoiler

The Bestie gets betrayed by someone she thought was her good friend. She led the Bestie and MC into a trap where she set out to burn them alive inside a secret room. When they manage to get out of there (at the cost of the Bestie burning a finger to the bone), they realize they are trapped inside a burning courtyard. From there, the Bestie pushes the MC and ends up getting hit by a falling beam.

The MC carries her out of the fire and we're treated to the Bestie asking the MC not to take revenge against the guy she liked (who is the brother of the "good" friend who betrayed her) and to let him live. The MC agrees and just tries to walk to safety with the Bestie but she dies in the MC's arms.

Yeah, I cried. Which I didn't expect to happen in a novel with so much graphic violence.

[collapse]

Spoiler for the things she does that's pretty horrific.

Spoiler

Hoo boy does she do things. Horrifically.

Not counting beating people up, these are the straight mu*ders.

She pours acid down the mouth of the Legal Mother after the woman s*upidly reveals that she poisoned the Grandmother (she ended up being a "mass of blood and flesh").

She whipped her half-brother until there was not a single piece of intact skin on his body. He died 5 days later.

Added centipede attracting medicine into her father's wine (she had someone else do it as she was hands-off at that point) so that when he went south, he would be bitten to death by poisonous centipedes. He dies, it's mildly gross.

The MC tortures and then burns alive the girl who was responsible for killing the MC's bestie. She also makes the girl's brother watch so that he will forever live with the guilt of what his sister did to the girl who was in love with him.

She also manipulated her half-sister once she learned that the woman was going to set her up (never fully explained but we can assume the worst with how this story goes). She sends her to a brothel where she is abused (it doesn't state if it was s*xual but assuming not as the girl still believes she could survive). The girl jumped out a two-story window and ran to the guy she thought would save her, only for him to prevent her from entering his place which caused her to freeze to death outside.

Honourable mention for the young lord whom she manipulated into going 800k in debt at her gambling house and then made his father choose between paying off the debt or having the lord climb through a room straight out of Saw. His father made him climb through it. While it doesn't say he died, it is stated that he wouldn't be able to live a normal life if he did live. It's also described, not completely graphically, but enough that it's gross.

[collapse]

I did enjoy the fact that the ML realized exactly what he was getting into by falling for the MC. He knew she was not normal at all but he didn't care so long as they got to be together. Especially when his brother tries to kill the MC to get at him.

The pair also have a happy ending which fits with them but it did feel too short. <<less

It's pretty good.

I really like Yu LingLong's fierce temperament cause it makes the novel much more eventful. After her marriage her fierceness decreased so much and I missed it, and alot of her shortcomings came to front which slightly tainted my view of her as OP.

Either way, she still didn't allow others to easily step on her and the author constantly supplied chapters with her being herself so that we wouldn't be bored of too much palace intrigue.

Coming on to the end you can kinda sense the rushed pace of... more>> the novel for whatever reason and I really feel like the ending could've been better if the author took some more time. The last chapter is proof of that.

All in all I still like it since I was abled to finish it.

If you don't really read these types of historical cnovels like me and prefer xuanhuan but want to try one of these then this is a good start. <<less

This novel is not the best, but its good enough to finish. MC is ruthless but I like it. The number of gasps that I had when her fist acts was plenty. I enjoyed it. Although I like her character, some of the scenes are quite irrational :

Spoiler
    • how the second ML, the cult leader, falls in love with her
    • the father as a whole
    • how did she not have any symptoms from the poison after MC transmigrated
    • how the relationship of the MC and ML just suddenly become lovey-dovey seem kind of awkward to me
    • some schemes are quite confusing and not explained clearly
    • abrupt ending, lol I want more chapters about the epilogue and their kid
    • MC didn't confess abt her transmigration
[collapse]

It's quite sad that after 15 chapters, the translation just turned to the worst, it is just MTL, understandable, but if properly translated it would be way much better.

ML is lovely, no
Spoiler

rape

scene which is great.

This was actually very entertaining, different from the usual "hold onto the golden thigh of the OP ML", the fML dealt with everyone and no sh*ts were given or forgiven and the ML actually had to earn her trust completely. This novel portray of women's love is heartbreaking honestly, it infuriated me how dependent and blind all other women were about their loved one, except Shi Huiru who honestly didn't deserve her ending, and then is the other extreme of the fML of distrusting every single man around her. Not... more>> a bad thing, not infuriated in the indignant sense but of the hopelessness seeing so many smart women being betrayed and used by men just because the times allowed them to.

Very satisfying to read the revenge of all the characters who plotted against the fml. <<less

MC is too fierce, but it's kind of funny, but gets old quickly. ML is really cute but also dumb. Idk why he likes her, but if it's for some kind of logical reason, there's some communication issues. Might resume on this later.

I wanna drop this but I'm so close to the end so I'm just scanning it just to finish because I really hate dropping a story.

The MC is not fierce, I would say she's insidious, as well as the other characters in this story. The characters are all so petty and unreasonable. It feels like the story thrives on evil plots that would kill the other person and then the MC will retaliate. I understand she's a gangster in the previous life, but even gangsters have laws and respect, but... more>> aside from the grandma who died, she respects nobody.

This feels like a compilation of revenge dramas but so far I can't feel anything from the plot. It also seemed like the writer is trying to create a whole conspiracy here with the black guys and the blue guys but it all seemed convoluted. I would have liked to see some sort of emotion from her so I can sympathize, but there's nothing. I think the worst is what she did to concubine Mei who is about to give birth. Aside from fighting for the right to manage the household accounts and trying to get greedy, this concubine hasn't tried to harm her (like kill her, although she thinks of it). She just had to set up the preggy woman as a cheater and make the father kick her out while suspecting if the kid is really his. And even hit the nail deeper by making the lover act more lovey-dovey and causing the concubine to give birth outside. I just can't accept that. Too evil. Too despicable. She basically killed everyone in the house already. I mean, if I was the father, I would have thrown out this daughter to live outside as soon as she beats me and every other person in the house. <<less

Enjoyed it. There were no major misunderstandings. The MC bests people a lot. It might just be me but I couldn't stop laughing at some of the scenes where she beats people. Some fight scenes were not too good. A little gory. Only thing I didn't really like was her unexplainable anger at the ML. He treated her really well but she was really mean and violent towards him for no reason.

3 stars.

Personally I liked this novel. It is a good read despite the common translation errors. The errors won't even confuse anyone (if you have the brain to think) so I don't see a problem with that.

However, many scenes that happened did not make sense and did not actually correlate with the story. Additionally this novel has a VERY abrupt ending (UGH).

It was a useful novel to pass the time so thank you translators but I wouldn't read it again.

Pros:

Good story. Nice to see the BAMF female ex-mercenary protagonist outside of a Qidian novel (those with 3000+ chapters). The MC & ML have proper growth and romance developments. The plot & backstories are well fleshed out without any lengthy expositions.

Cons:

2nd ML & 3rd MLs were introduced quite abruptly and finished off as well. The ending was quite rushed as well. Maybe a couple more chapters could be used to ease the pace a bit.
