The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Description

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

Crying blood and tears, she pledged a poisonous vow. The gods did not fail her. She was sent back to a decade ago. The legitimate daughter of Jiang family returned from hell.

Forget it, whatever! Since they already claimed that she was a temptress that wrecked the country, she shall overturn the world into complete chaos starting with her beguiling sister, her malicious stepmother, her cruel lover and her heartless family. Let her end the lives that Yama refused to end.

She was a pawn in her past life. In this life, however, the world was her chess board. With an alluring smile and a charming figure that enchanted the entire nation, the red-clothed woman wrecked chaos among the lands. She was a vengeful spirit from hell, determined to make those who wronged her pay in blood.

“I want those who owe me a life debt to hold their hearts out in front of me. I want those who looked down on me to only be able to admire me. I want Lord Zhong Zi to shiver when he sees me. I want to step on this splendid river and mountains!”

— — —

“You are a temptress and I am a thief.” His robe was as dark as the night and his gaze was as cold as the Northern Star. “A perfect match.”

Her red dress was akin to fire, but her heart was the coldest ice in the winter.

He was stoic in his black robe, yet he was willing to warm her frozen heart.

In this life, the elegant man seemed like a snowy bamboo grove with tall, chilly mountains, walking step by step towards her like an unstoppable force.

“Ruan Ruan, if you hate the world, then I shall conquer the lands with you.”

“What if I love the world?” She asked.

“I am the world, so you can only love me,” he answered.

As usual, the story line is captivating even though the theme is similar with the other 3 books by the author. But, I truly enjoy it immensely.

In terms of translation, nothing more than respect and grateful for people who did it.

Both writer and translators, I salute you.

I'll give this stars when I finish the translated version because I mtl from C92 part2 onwards.

It's good if you're not into much romance, because it will only be more evident after the time skip. As for the revenge, it is good. However there's a part where I was kinda 'eh' which was ... more>>
Spoiler

The fate of Jiang Susu. She was supposed to go to a temple but ran away to the woods because of a letter she received (which is from our MC) indicating that the person fancy her and is willing to take her only to fall in the hands of a bandit wherein she was r*ped over and over. I don't like her but I don't like r*pe either. So I was kinda tormented in continuing. But the fault is in me because there was a r*pe tag, I just didn't saw it.

[collapse]

I'm not sure if this was explained in the story because again I just mtl it but
Spoiler

The maidservant from Yu Ya (?) from the Xia Family, the wife of the second son of Xia Cheng, during the incident where the affair of the first wife and her husband was revealed during an appreciation banquet, it was said that Jiang Ruan sent that maidservant somewhere because it was assumed that there was a later use for her but according to what I've read, that maid never showed up again...?

[collapse]

I liked the story however the reading experience was lacking because I mtl it and there are many parts that aren't translated properly (doesn't make sense) so I had to skip it and just pretend there was never that sentence/part.

As for the translating team, hands down to them. They were generous enough to add photos that may help to the reading experience of the readers. And the translation itself is pretty good. <<less

love the translations, the MC and ML are great together, they both seem pragmatic and ambition-oriented. This author also wrote Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage so it should be quite good! Love the serious plot so far :)

It's a good read but I prefer the other novels by the author. One thing I dislike and found weird is that every time they appear, the novel keeps describing MC or her stepsister as some out of this world, breathtaking, no.1 talented beauty of the capital but like I'm just thinking that they're barely 10-11 years old I don't think they'll be attracting others with their prepubescent bodies and faces unless the entire capital population consists of pe*ophiles and untalented wastes who can't even compete with 11 year olds... more>> in music/dance/manners. And I get that girls married very early in ancient times but I feel If they had been at least 13-14 years that would've made more sense. Also the author keeps going on and on about their clothing like she literally spends paragraph after paragraph describing each and every piece of clothing and jewellery. And when there's a special event like a banquet it's like 75% percent of the chapter is spent on describing their looks and clothing that it gets tedious. The translation was superb and I appreciate the fact that they keep providing pictures of unfamiliar things so we can visualise them. Anyway I enjoyed the novel and I'm now heading off to fry my brains with mtl. <<less

Really interesting! Even though I find the revenge plot kind of overused I'm still liking this novel. The Female lead truly does not have anyone to rely on as the romance is slow. So currently she has no support.

This is a captivating novel and draws you in as you read each chapter. I could not put it down. It has a good plot and the main female lead is likable. You can sympathize with her character a lot. She went through really horrible things, so much so that it makes you want to see her succeed. I can't wait to meet more of the male lead and see how he ties into the story with her.

Like everyone else said this is similar to Rebirth of the Empress from Military Lineage, nuff said. Other than that, I don't have other comments of the story. Some said it's more darker but ig I have yet to see it like that, since I'm only 44 chapter into the story.

I like the translation. They put images to make us imagine the setting easier, and translate to english completely but still describe the meaning of important terms. I also like how they don't put the description at the end of... more>> the page. <<less

I'm in love with this novel. Everything from the plots to the characters' description is developed extremely well. I was actually hesitant if I should read it at first since it doesn't have many chapters yet. And yes I do feel a little regretful now for not waiting until it's had more releases. I'm craving for more.. Huhuh.. Thank you for translating this awesome novel. Love you so much. Hopefully, you will release more chapters to satisfy this infatuation of mine.

All the bests

From the first chapter you can tell the revenge will be good and complex. Her fate in the first life was worse than Shen Mao of RMEML, I was really shocked. The antagonists are a bit sadistic IMO. I look forward to seeing her enforce justice and keep around at least a few people who cherish her, her life was truly pitiful.

One of the best revenge novels I've ever read. Jiang Ruan is so likeable and smart. The villains are just despisable— Jiang Su Su is someone I want to strangle every time she makes an appearance.

I love the schemes as well, and although the ML has not really existed much, he has the same ridiculous descriptions as XJX in the Rebirth of a Malicious Empress.

Like many said, very similar to the author's other work, "Malicious empress of a military lineage."

I'd say the general plot, big picture wise, its almost identical to Malicious Empress, the main differences lie in.. the vibes? Between the two, I definitely much prefer Malicious Empress, and I think Malicious Empress was better written and much better paced out.

Like many said, this feels like a prototype to Malicious Empress. It was very similar but everything felt lesser.

The vibes, pacing, of Rebirth of an Ill fated Consort are just.. slower? Although its... more>> more violent, the schemes somehow feels less exciting? Less on the edge of your seat. In Malicious Empress the MC use pretty assertive methods to deal with her enemies, but in Ill fated Consort, the MC is much more about forbearance? She uses forbearance to turn things around, so it feels less exciting.

Also can we talk about the ML? I dont know, from the whole novel.. I only really got that the ML is.. cold? Other than being cold and few of words, we never really get anything else form the ML, except that sometimes hes not cold to MC instead "his eyes twinkle"... not very exciting...

The way the fall in love is so.. random? We dont see any cute bickering, or any real development in their relationship that would lead them to fall in love. ML just goes from suspicious of her/neutral, to boom now hes into her.
Spoiler

random flash back apparently MC took care of ML when he was seriously injured, after that he started pledging loyalty to her etc etc..

[collapse]

In contrast, the ML in Malicious Empress is super charismatic, and has so much chemistry with the MC. They go through so much with each other (from distrust to reluctant allies, while constaly having witty banter, we see how they slowly grow to trust each other)

The pacing in this was also kind of weird. In the last arc
Spoiler

its all about how MC is in the country side of something hiding from everyone while ML and the people in the capital things shes dead. At that point I was so bored with the story, I only lightly skimmed it, it just felt so irrelevant

[collapse]

So yeah, I mean it was fine, a decent read. I finished it, so good enough. But way too similar to Malicious Empress, and much inferior. <<less

I have readed all of the author's works and I'd have to say this is my favourite.

Pacing: reasonable with slight drag on certain arcs but not enough to bore the reader.

Romance: very subtle but deep. Their romance appeared less frivolous but manifested as the kind of deep love that one longs to have in one's lifetime. ML has shown such loyalty and unyeiding commitment to FL even before he realized that he loves her which was very sweet. He continued to pamper and back her up whenever she gets into... more>> conflict and I enjoyed reading every single one of their moment together.

Revenge plot: I feel that some antagonists received way hasher punishment than they deserved when compared to the crimes they commited against JR in the 1st life.

Spoiler

I'm still mad that Jiang susu died with an intact corpse despite the horrific torture she had inflicted on both Jiang Ruan and Pei Er. She should have been made into a human swine too imo but getting sexually assaulted and beaten up by multiple men seemed justified enough in JR's opinion I guess.

Jiang Dan's death however was a little extreme imo. In JR'S defense though, I could see why she was the only family member to have died without an intact corpse as she poisoned JR's mother, JM; the very woman that raised JD like her own child. To JR, JD's betrayal was probably more severe than JSS's.

Xuan Li was portrayed as the ultimate villian but imo he wasn't even that bad compared to JR'S family. I did feel some sympathy for him at the end when he finally recalled the memories of their past life. He actually felt regret and tried to atone for his misdeeds right before he died and that was better than the scum of a father to whom dreamed of the 1st life but still felt no shame or regret.

Her father, Xia Yan and Jiang susu definitely deserve more suffering for all that they've done.

[collapse]

Characterization: FL is portrayed as very overpowered in terms of intelligence especially with her ability to deflect harms heading her way and laying traps that were fail-safe. However due the horrific crimes against her which she had suffered in the first life, the face slapping that she did felt satisfying instead of cliche.

Overall, I immensely enjoyed this novel and would re-read it again one day. <<less

Amazing writing of this author again. Only have two complaints:

1. Ending was too rushed

There were too many thing that should've been a part of the story to make it really complete. Like -

... more>>
Spoiler

- More FL and Pei'er moments.

- Moments where we see Pei'er interacting with her kids.

- Seeing if Pei'er will find someone he loves or his trauma makes it impossible for him. Honestly dropped the ball a lot with Pei'er in general

- More interactions of the family. Where we at least see a moment where the ML shows his son that he does love him even if they fight a lot

-...

[collapse]

2. Too many bees around fl

Not random bees, which would be better. One I found especially annoying. It felt like we the readers should find it pitiful but I had no pity at all! She was already engaged and he was the friend of her fiancé. Yeah yeah, you can't control who you fall in love with. But there are things you can do to limit it and stop it. But he didn't. He just kept on going. I found it so disgusting. No compassion at all. <<less

I really liked it! It's a little brutal sometimes but if you get past the first chapter you basically got past the most gory part. The MC is ruthless but her behavior is totally appropriate knowing how much she had to suffer in her first life. It's satisfying to accompany her in her revenge.

The ML is really nice, the romance takes a while to develop, which makes sense as MCs only goal in this life is revenge plus ... more>>
Spoiler

the consequences she faced in her previous life due to love were immense.

[collapse]
I love how capable our MC is, I trust her to deal with difficult situations. I wish we had a little more casual romantic moments though, although there was a fair amount of them in the novel.

about the ending:

Spoiler

The need of the author for some extremely dramatic developments just before the end of her novels is just... sigh. But don't worry, although I could live without it, it's not too bad and doesn't take away from the novel. The ending chapters could have been paced better but all in all I really, really enjoyed it!

wonderful translation job, you can really tell the translators put a lot of effort and heart into making the sentences smooth and understandable!

i love this author. As most ppl are saying, in my opinion not as good as military lineage but still quite entertaining. Definitely a lot more graphic and vicious (although it is well deserved and MC never retaliates unless she is provoked) but feels a bit draggy near the end :/

overall a good read!

Ai... why is the story so slow??? Nothing substantial has happened and I’m already almost twenty chapters in 🥲 I dislike the approach the author took in this case, really turned me off. Mystery could have been kept back for later, otherwise, why the hell do I care why the FL does this or that??? Ahhh. Anyway, I was hoping to giving this a shot because it has high ratings and popped up on recommended several times, but I can’t rn. Maybe another time.

I just started reading this, I've been reading historical novels nad I've been skipping this one for the longest time.

I've decided to give it a try since I've read other novels from same author.

It's a little bit too dark for me, the beginning was really gruesome. I've stopped and manage to convince myself to continue so I'll pause at giving this at 3 star and update it once done or as I progressed, hopefully

I just started reading and will give it 5 star since it's an excellent read so far, I also know the authors works which actually amazing, i've read like 2 I believe. However on this one aaaah why is it that the FL is only 10 years old and already being seen like someone who is already fully developed teen, and the MC is 20 yrs old, eh? She is still a kid, no matter how mature her mind is her body is an asian 10yrs old. 12 yrs old... more>> possibly but never 10 😑 a little dissapointment on that part. Hehehe <<less

i am a little bit impatient so I read the raw through mtl. It's a heavy revange plot. Slow on romance but satisfying result. Although there's no explanation on the rebirth. It's almost as if the ML doesn't have important role because mostly the FL took the lead. ML maturity didn't match up with his age. Writer like to make twin babies in the storyline. There's definitely resembles on the way she portray ppl characters and appearance hahahahaha but overall I thin xjx still win. However overall I think the... more>> plot is not as quite as good as the rebirth of the vicious emperess of the military linage. It's give more satisfying to read that than this one. <<less
