The title says most of it. Harem intrigue with a salted fish female protagonist. This is a light read full of common tropes.

The translation is of low quality and affects the reading pleasure. I am pretty sure it's MTL. Somehow all concubines of the crown prince are referred to as Empress?

Taking into account the rough translation I would at most give 3 stars, but I feel obligated to give the original work the benefit of the doubt. Thus: 4 stars!

Read the novel with MTL. Major spoilers below.

The chapters are short and the entire 1183 chapter novel feels more like 300 chapters. It was a fun read, and I'd recommend it. Downsides: The plot drags towards the end with

I don’t know if the translator is aware, but this novel already has a page in novelupdates. It’s the exact same novel but translted by a different person but I think its on hiatus. The rating there is already 4.5 stars with reviews. It’s the first time I am seeing one novel having two different pages in NU.

Still thank you for the translations. Its one of my favourite novels and mahua. Even after more than 1000 chapters I never once got bored.

Its full of comedy, romance, palace intrigue, supernatural all... more>> combined in a wonderful mix. <<less

This is a goddamn masterpiece. Like. Where do I begin? Normally I shy away from 1000+ chapter novels as if they are the plague, but this one really does it right. The chapters are short and move the plot along quickly. There really aren't any extraneous characters. I only skipped maybe 50-60 chapters that took place in the Southern Moon Kingdom because the OTP were separated but they weren't separated that long so I can't really complain.

The novel probably could've ended 100 chapters earlier but I understand the author wanted... more>> to tie up *every* loose end which ok. But back to the story. Our heroine: In the modern world she's an orphan with food insecurity issues. She travels to ancient times and is born in a household with tr*sh parents who foist her off to a monastery to be raised because they believe she's cursed. Luckily she's adopted by an awesome sect and learns martial arts and how to harness her powers of clairvoyance and divination. Her mission given by the sect master is to help the country's current crown prince successfully ascend the throne, but given how she acts we wouldn't really know that.

Xixi is the saltiest of salted fishes. All she wants to do is eat and sleep until she dies. She's just one of many concubines in the CP's east palace and he wouldn't notice her at all if she hadn't foisted a protective talisman on him one day that inadvertently saves his life. The early chapters and interactions with our OTP are hilarious. He doesn't understand a person who only cares about eating and sleeping but finds himself intrigued by her ridiculousness in spite of himself. She also confesses her background in the sect and they start working together to solve little mysteries in the palace using her powers of divination.

Over time the crown prince starts spending more and more time with her because she's the only person he's ever met who doesn't want anything from him except for food and a place to sleep. When he offers her rewards all she wants is to raise a barnyard in the east palace so she can have farm-fresh meat and produce every day. xD The CP falls in love with her first and it's really beautiful to see. All his life his family has done nothing but use him and scheme against him, and TBH he's almost done caring. It's the female's unwavering belief in his chance of success that makes him realize that he can transcend the chessboard and become a player instead of just a chess piece.

While the humorous interactions between the OTP never quit, the novel does get darker and more dramatic as the palace intrigues culminate into a bloodbath. (For starting out so light-hearted, a lot of people in this novel die, just warning you lol.) We also get more xianxia shenanigans as we are introduced to the heroine's martial brothers who all eventually play a bigger role in the overall story, and several "big boss" villains to be defeated satisfactorily. The complete and utter devotion the CP has for the FL is the cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. Alas! Our heroine has one last secret she can't bear for him to find out because she doesn't want to break his heart... Guess you'll just have to read it to find out. :P <<less

There is mistake in the summary. Story did not mention MC transmigrated instead she has a special background. But it’s quite interesting

A brilliant masterpiece with all the elements of a great story. It involves throne ascension drama, political issues involving the court and aristrocatic families, harem politics and fights, some magical elements involving amulets and talismans, a wonderful romance with a doting ML, great side characters like the Xuanmen sect family and fun antagonists.

I don't think the summary really explains the story correctly. The only thing it got right is the FL's salty fish nature (lazy and doesn't want to move). Translation is 2/5. I find reading the MTL is easier.

Basically... more>> its about a girl who has special abilities and something called An Eye of Heaven that allows her to see good fortune or bad fortune on someone when she looks at their face. She can calculate their fortune, etc. She is from a special sect called the Xuanmen sect and is now on a mission to help anyone of her choosing to ascend the throne. Our FL is super lazy (there is a reason for this), and she decides the Crown Prince is the easiest to help as he's already on the way to becoming the Emperor anyway. To her shock and dismay, the Crown Prince who was chosen by the Emperor is actually not favored at all and is a pawn.

So there are many people against the Crown Prince, our ML and he suffers a lot. Our FL helps the ML in various ways to fight his enemies. Usually using her special gifts. Most of the time, the cunning and smart ML solves his problems with his wit. Our FL does help though as without her warnings, ML wouldn't go through several crisis.

Basically the first half of the story is about the ML's struggle to become the Emperor. The author calls it the Prince arc.

Later once he ascend the throne, the story doesn't end there and more things happen. Now its the Emperor arc. <<less
