Description

It is said that the Northern Warlord is temperamental and violent. The people who died in his hands were too many to count. In his previous life, An Chang Qing believed the rumors and feared him. Never daring to take a closer look at him. It was only until his death that he knew the man had given him all his tenderness.

Returning to their wedding night, An Chang Qing looked at the fearsome man and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.

The man had his brows creased. He pinched his chin gently, “Do you not fear me?”

An Chang Qing hugged the man’s neck and smiled sweetly, “I’m not afraid of you, I’m only afraid of pain.”

And the man had never wanted him to feel any pain.

I still have to read the extras and read the second half of this mtl. The translators did a really amazing job on the first half and I will definitely by rereading the second half as they translate... it is just patience has never been one of my virtues

Good relationship and fun story. I liked the fantasy elements weaved in. A little bit nationalistic, as these historical stories often are, but I have read worse. Really enjoyed the HE the secondary characters got.

This has gone to be on one of my list of favorite novels. Both characters are quite written well (even with mtl), and I loved how everything progressed. My only gripe (s) though are stuff that didn't get any closure like,

    • Spoiler

      what happened to Xue Wuyi? Did he die offscreen? I find that pretty sad for him. Also that poor poor general Qi and his love life (or lack thereof). Did he ever found his true love? I'm also a bit confused with the very last extra. Maybe I should read everything again, hehe.

      [collapse]
All in all though, it's a very nice read. MC wasn't a super mega uber OP character. He was capable, not much physically, and he just felt more human.
Spoiler

I also like how the mpreg factor has an explanation of existing in a typical world, not that it's a bad thing when stories have gers, but I just found it refreshing.

[collapse]

As for ML, I think he's not really cold (like with any other cold MLs)... well maybe his perpetual poker face doesn't help, but he's actually more timid and has very strong self control. He's also rather insecure, given that their marriage was kinda forced, but as seen in the previous life, he has the MC in his heart, so
Spoiler

that whole business of MC seeing how everything played out after he died in the previous life was quite heart wrenching to read.

[collapse]

He is a bit possessive, but not too extreme, and his relationship dynamic with MC showed how much they complement each other as partners, and also shows how they are each others' better half.

Tl;dr: 5/5 will plant more sweet potatoes again.

I cant stop myself from reading it. I totally love it.

The MC is a strong willed person and the ML is a fierce general but timid when it comes to MC. He is also a smart person.

I love how their relationship grew.

It is funny how the fierce general would walk to a pastry shop just to buy MC's favorite snacks. He still do it even after becoming the emperor to his guards dismay.

Spoiler

- When ML was dispatched to fight the enemy in the north, they encounter food shortage. MC personally sent the grains to them. When ML attacked the enemy camp and didnt return for days MC did a great job motivating the soldiers. He even played the drums on top of the wall and stayed awake wanting to fight along side with the soldiers.

-ML came back and MC was so relieved that he passed out.

- MC and ML stayed in the north border. MC's great knowledge helped build some agricultural tools. He also help in making cannon and gun. The northern border became prosperous.

- MC gave birth of twins, boy and girl. That is where they started to search for MC's origins.

- the Emperor asked them to return. When another enemy attempt to invade, ML was sent to fight. The crown prince use the opportunity to rebel. He also planned to take MC as hostage. ML and MC knew that crown prince will grab the opportunty so they make sure that ML's palace was was guarded and have enough food.

- ML was supposed to go back in 3 days so MC fought hard without sleeping. He use the gun till his hand hurts. When the gate was damaged the common people rallied to help the MC. When it was almost time for them to lose. He ask his guards to send the babies away, he is also willing to commit su*cide instead of being a hostage. Thankfully ML came with the northern army.

- ML didnt crown MC as empress cause he knew MC wants to join the court not to work in the palace like a woman.

-ML accompany MC in finding the truth of his origins. The ministers are not happy but they knew that they cannot stop the emperor. On their journey, MC confessed his rebirth to ML.

- The story of MC's ancestor and their clan was so sad : (but MC found his clan.

- the extra made me cry.

MC suddenly went back to the past where pastML was grieving over his death and was about to commit su*cide. He talked to pastML about the peaceful world the curentML created and stayed with ML. MC also told him about the misunderstandings they have before. MC helped him calm the court and pastML was so happy. The ML got motivated that if the other him was able to make a peaceful place for MC, he could do it too. He hope that god would let the MC stay with him. His dream was shattered when he found that others don't see MC. MC knew it all along but didn't tell pastML. The palace thought he was crazy talking to himself. One day pastML woke up and MC no longer there. He was sad but fire in his eyes burn. He vowed to protect the country even if MC no longer there. When he go to court he decided to kill the crown prince and the rebels. It took pastML 15 years to undo the damage in the country and made it prosperous. When MC woke up crying, he realize he is back. Currect ML hug him and kissed him.

- the little princess became a warrior like ML and dreamed to become a general. The little prince was an intelligent scholar and was the crown prince.

  • Premise is kind of similar to the "Comeback of abandoned wife". Where when the shou died, his soul lingered with the ML. Regretting that he ignored the ML their past life, he pluck his courage to start a relationship with ML. But here, the shou is kind of timid after sometime, he learns to grow his backbone.
  • The ML is your typical ML. Cold and stoic with a tragic past. He does things in silence and loves the MC way too much. He's actually a gentleman. Eventhough he forced the marriage to MC, he respected him and never forced him to anything. He's quite pitiful actually. He was emotionally ab*sed directly or indirectly by the actions of the MC and misunderstanding they have on their past life.
  • Spoiler

    they have twin cutie buns. 1 girl and 1 boy. Idk if they have another bun after c110 but so far they have 2.

    [collapse]
  • Silent gong x timid shou it was no wonder they end up having a lot of misunderstandings and regret in their past life.
  • It was really great to see that as the story flows. The ML and MC seems to neutralize each other. ML have his shar edges smothered. While the MC was able to grow his backbone. Healthy relationship overall.

As with what Erudite. Cielo wrote, this is truly a beautifully written novel with leads that complement each other pretty well. You can imagine it from how prosperous their empire was with MC handling internal affairs while ML deals with the external. They’re pretty much kickass, and most of importantly, HE!

Another thing I like with this novel was how it dealt with second chances, and wonderfully at that. Because of this novel, I ended up looking for and reading other novels with similar starting themes. On reading the initial chapters,... more>> you can really feel the regret and sorrow MC had with the way he treated ML in their first life. ML only did what he had to, given the circumstances he was in and the opportunities available to him. But because of his political enemies, he was slandered as a bloodthirsty war-mongerer instead of being praised as a hero and defender, a cruel tyrant instead of a just and benevolent ruler in a kingdom emptied by the corruption of its officials and noblemen.

I feel that it was really unfair what ML went through in his first life,

Spoiler

Disregarding the fact how he lost his Consort Mother, his horrible family members (maybe except for that aunt of his, probably), troubles within and outside of their kingdom, it doesn’t help that MC was that afraid of him. For ML, MC was that innocent pure sunshine in his life on that autumn morning. ML kept his promise of being the one to protect MC, no matter how many years had passed since that one time meeting in their childhood. And MC never quite understood why ML did all those things for him, simply because MC forgot having met ML in the first place. It is heartbreaking all the more when you think about how ML held unto the jade token MC treasured most when he died. Despite believing that token may have been given by MC’s true love, ML just wanted to have something of MC with him even in death while still believing MC never wanted him.

[collapse]

and pretty much heart wrenching (with lots of tissues for the tears). ML was being pushed to walk in darkness with no salvation in sight. Even that bit of light (MC) in his life gradually dimmed and snuffed out in that constant battle of schemes and power. At least the extras offered complete resolution to that portion of the story, which for me made this novel whole.

What I also liked about this novel was how MC had grown as a character. He started off with a wimpy, timid feel and ended as a confident and wise empress who can stand side-by-side with ML. In less than twenty chapters, you get to understand where he’s coming from and why MC was the way he was in his first life. His experiences and knowledge gained in his past life became a backdrop that made him shine in this current life. Following ML to the border was the turning point for his character as MC’s fears (worst possible outcomes) in his past life and the troubles he faced in their present life tempered him to be a competent ruler renowned for all ages.

Spoiler

In the extras, even ML showed surprise with MC’s progress. His impression of MC remained to those scant moments of interaction which defined his MC as an introverted reclusive man who was fearful of ML. The other MC who experienced ups and downs with another ML and together ruled an empire for more than a decade showed wisdom and decisiveness, not even batting an eye in ordering the execution of traitorous ministers which his MC was not capable of.

[collapse]

I consider the romance slow-burn despite the feelings evident in both leads early on. Mostly this was because ML was not confident of MC’s feelings of affection for him. No matter how subtly explicit MC was being, ML believed that MC was forced into this marriage and that if MC was given the chance, he will choose the scholarly gentleman cousin who ML believed was MC’s true love. At least this period of time allowed both MC and ML to truly understand, trust and fall in love with one another. Once the misunderstanding was cleared, political interests disrupt the couple of sugary screen time. But the dog food is still strong up to the end of the novel with MC and ML harmoniously working hand-in-hand in their respective fields for the common prosperity in their empire. Their twins, for a male-to-male couple prepared for being childless, came as a surprise
Spoiler

owing to MC’s hidden identity that he knows nothing about.

[collapse]
The interspersed domestic moments are very heart-warming in a background of royalty wrought with danger from political enemies and interests from different factions. This was one of the few happy royal families I’ve read who rule united as one.

Other important side characters and CP are well-developed though I can’t say the same for the villains. The villains seem to me to be just there for the sake of being villains with their own self-interests or as a result of the environment they grew up in. Some even have extreme preferences or decisions which doesn’t add up unless you blame it on how spoiled they were when growing up.

Overall, this story is too good, it’s a shame to miss it. <<less

I keep returning to this novel because I love the relationship and character development between the MC/ML. The story is that the MC spent his first life being so scared of the ML who was his husband that he never actually got to know him and died full of regrets. Only after his death did he realize that there was more to the ML than the fearsome tyrant. All of this is in the first chapter and then after ... more>>
Spoiler

the ML dies in the original timeline

[collapse]
, the MC awakes on his wedding night. Although he starts off as a timid and weak character in the first few chapters, with the support of the ML, he eventually becomes a very capable ruler and businessman.

Positives:

    1. I've already said this but the main relationship is so good! The ML pampers the MC immediately in his own awkward way, which is really cute but he has a lot of insecurities about their relationship due to his own fearsome reputation and some false rumors about the MC being in love with someone else. Unlike a lot of other danmei novels, the ML is really respectful towards the MC and does everything to support him (ex: teaching MC military strategy to defeat his scheming relatives) and the MC definitely reciprocates! There are quite a few instances where the MC saves the ML and I love their mutual respect for each other, the growth they go through, and the equality in their relationship. They seem like the perfect complement to each other's weaknesses with the MC making up for the ML's lack of EQ (the MC (affectionately) calls him a block of wood multiple times) while the ML makes up for the MC's naivety and delicateness.
    2. The "right amount" of OPness. The MC definitely has a protagonist halo and is so beautiful that everyone instantly falls in love with him, etc etc. However, I think the author gives solid reasoning for why these characters can do those amazing things. For example, the MC is able to subvert a lot of disasters with his foreknowledge and the author also explains that he knows a lot of useful information because of all the reading he did in his first life when he was alone in the imperial palace.
    3. Easy to follow plot that still has some fun twists and turns!
      Spoiler

      It's basically reincarnation --> face slapping the people who mistreated the MC in his first life --> war/famine that the MC helps to solve --> battle for the ML to become emperor --> children --> why can the MC have children, but although the plot was simple, there were some surprises in there!

      [collapse]
Criticisms:

    1. It's not the most creative or intriguing novel. I'm sure you've read similar plots and it's not particularly memorable although it was interesting in the moment to read it play out.
    2. No one in this novel is winning a personality award anytime soon. Although the main CP have good development and consistent characterizations, their personalities aren't very distinctive. The ML is the archetypical cold general/prince character but I guess what makes him slightly different is that he's a wife simp from the start and his clumsiness and awkwardness due to not knowing how to function in a relationship or be soft are quite funny. And of course, the MC is like all OP protagonists, super compassionate, kind, beautiful, intelligent, etc. And although there's a large cast of side characters, none of them are particularly distinctive either.
    3. I think the novel could've been shorter. Towards the end, I though the plot dragged a bit. There is mpreg and the author devotes the end to learning about the MC's origins and why he can get pregnant but it was after the main plot had already concluded so to me, it felt unnecessarily long. If this novel was 80-100 chapters, I feel like it would've been the perfect length.
But despite these minor criticisms I have, I'd still rate this a 5 just because of how much I like this kind of relationship dynamic in BL and the fun I had while reading it!

My favorite moments:

Spoiler
  • the ML going to his doctor friend to learn how to make s*x feel good for the MC due to his ahem, size~
  • the reactions of the ML's soldiers to their wangfei and how he "tamed the lion"
  • they go to a lantern festival and the ML secretly sneaks away to get the MC's wish lantern from the water to see if the wish is about him because he was insecure that the MC was harboring feelings for another character
  • actually, the entire misunderstanding between the ML and the MC about the MC's rumored affections for his cousin is really funny both because it shows the ML's insecurities, which made him a better character, and the MC's obliviousness to romantic overtures (it was so funny when his cousin was like but you accepted my love poem?? and the MC is like... dude I was just being nice idk sh*t about poetry)
  • the face slapping that happens to the MC's shitty family
  • the backstory that the MC/ML actually met as children but the MC forgot due to a fever
  • the ML buying desserts/food for his wangfei, so much that stores basically make the MC their mascot to sell more food to people

5/5* - RECOMMEND

This a historical royalty novel with fantasy elements.

Really loved this novel! The start and writing style are really strong and totally captivated me.

MC tries to immediately change the path of previous life and is very pro active in (1) attempts to consummate their marriage (however it still takes a while as ML is very respectful!), (2) change how the public sees them (oa get rid of arrogant and gossiping servants, giving food to the poor), (3) make a lot of money using his knowledge of the... more>> past.

MC is very smart, persistent and courageous. In the past life he was a coward, listening to rumors and didn't contribute anything to the country and instead lived in the palace shutting himself away. This life he uses his brains and invents lots of new things and set up many business opportunities. He loves ML a lot and redeems himself by unconditionally standing by his side and helping him changing his reputation.

ML is a fierce general, warlord of the North. He is totally OP, smart, strategic, rich and oh so yummy! His past life was soooo tragic, how he died in the end (commiting su*cide) holding MC's jade pendant. He only wished to protect MC for a lifetime, but MC only saw him as a monster. MC was all he has left and was the only thing in his sad world that was worth fighting for but even MC left him in the end. In their first life, ML never forces MC (to have sex) even after 10y of marriage. ML was utterly lonely and had no one. He wasn't a cruel person but was perceived as such incl. MC. He was so kind and protective towards MC... Luckily, in the end the tragic ML of the first life also gets his 'happy' ending!

This story was so hart warming as you feel heart broken for ML in their first life, so as soon as MC starts his new life you'll feel so good that ML is now loved and taken care of. Their love is so touching and beautiful. There is so much tenderness, warmth, doting, healing. Totally wholesome and fluffy.

This story has fantastical elements related to MC's background. Usually, I don't like it when genres are mixed, because most of times it is not well executed, too far fetched/out of place, and distorts the whole feel and world building that has been created in the beginning, but in this novel it was OK. There was a lot of mystery and as a reader you really want to know the real story of MC's clan! So, although the whole feel did change due to the mystery and fantasy elements, it wasn't that bad. Although I think I would still have preferred to not make it fantastical.

Key words: second chance to happiness, happy family, doting couple, OP character, rise to ultimate power, getting super rich and finding treasures, mystery and fantasy (last 1/4 of story), unifying countries, becoming a prosperous country.

In short, totally feel good story! <<less

The shou becomes a "double emperor" along with the gong. Which is way cooler than being a Male empress. The MTL is readable compare to most Historical Yaoi. But still, when the MTL translates the Shark tribe as Chimpanzee I just feel like flipping the table. The story is good, but then at the end, the story deviates widely from the original storyline of the love story and character development into sea adventure which I didn't see coming. But it was still fun.

SPOILER Side note - the biggest clown in... more>> the story is Huaishu'an (the first king if Yuze). He builds a magnificent palace to show his love for Yu qiao hoping that YQ will see how much he loves him and will return his love. Instead, YQ went and lived in the Palace all happy with his husband and kid while Huaishu'an was looking for him all over the world. And finally, on his death bed, Yu QIao and his husband dropped by and says "Tada you SOB I was alive all along" lol <<less

This is a good story. The characters are fleshed out, the world is expanded on (a bit) and theres not really anything that makes you go "the f*ck?"

But its really f*cking boring, by the chapter 30 mark MC has already gotten over his timidness and MC and ML are already showing affection towards each other.

This isnt a bad thing persay, its just that the whole premise of this is based on MC regretting his past and trying to make it up in the present. The "climax" of the story should... more>> be around MC and MLs relationship, but then why are we not even a 1/3rd of the way in and they've already fixed it?

Only thing left is for MC to just stand there and give ML love and cuddles as ML goes and does war things, which frankly, is not interesting to read at all.

I honestly regret forcing myself to keep reading in hopes that the plot would get back to MC and MLs relationship, because it doesnt! It gets resolved by chapter 30 and then the rest of the 120 chapters are just them acting lovey dovey and being a "power-couple" (in reality its just powerful ML and an MC who tries to keep up - then gets a pity head pat by ML). I literally studied so I would have a reason to not read this.

This is a gem for people who like early romance I suppose (from the other reviews?), but im just bummed bec I was expecting atleast 2/3rds of the story to be about MC trying to get out of his fear and love ML, not for it to be smart housewife MC giving ML emotional support/advice as he goes and does cool ML politics things. Definitely not worth a read if you wanted more relationship depth. <<less

I'm too lacking in maturity that I can't understand why MC gets or deserve to have a second chance for his judging or believing rumors about ML in previous life. This behavior is one that I tend to avoid personally because these are people you can't trust when you're on your lowest and you just need someone who would be willing to see the truth not base on other people's words.

The writing is good and novel, the pace and plot are well delivered, and the characters are likable. The loose threads are all tied up neatly in the end, so I can’t complain.

The translation seems very good so far, and the MTL, although not much beginner-friendly, still brings forth a comprehensible story.

Truly wholesome! Their past life was really sad but this rebirth is full of happiness amidst the chaos and scheming from those antagonists. To be honest, you won't really be exhausted reading this. It's light-read. ML was doting as well, MC isn't s*upid. I love that they dom't delay their misundestandings and like right away talk everything out.

It's hard to read in the first 10 chapters, but it gets better as it goes on.

As one of the previous review said, in the first 10 chapters the MC acts quite girly, unlike a man in his 18, or 28 in his past life at all.... more>>
Spoiler

for example, throwing tantrums, frequently snitching, acting coquettish, acting pitiful.

[collapse]
I understand his character setting is set to be timid and innocent, but his actions is too inconsistent with an image of adult man. If he's 15-16 in the story then it's fine though. Honestly, you can blame my imagination, but I can't picture a man with this personalities and actions at all. No matter how I read this, I always see female MC instead, hence It's almost not a BL for me.

However, after the first ten chapters, the plot improved, and MC character also improved--A LOTS. Not to mention he's not as girly anymore. In fact, he's very good with both the family and official affairs (after the first few chapters of tuning in period), which I find him fascinating and very handsome. Besides, he also helps and supports ML a lot with his own abilities (the MC is an unfavored son who literally have nothing, including decent school educations) and he's very capable in doing so. 🥺❤️ Unlike many of the novels where MC is always pampered by the ML and barely do anything. He's also very understanding and good to people, which is the aptitude that ML lacks.

With this, they fulfill each other, both emotionally and professionally, and bring good to people around them, which is why I like this novel very much. And despite the ML is a bit dull, he is very doting towards his lover, and also very cute and s*upid sometimes. I like him as well! <<less

One of the best historical BL I've read. There's no ML forcing MC and they respect each other. This is not much focused on conspiracy but the love development between MC and ML as the story plot.

Their past was really tragic esp the ML. Fortunately he was transmigrated too in the extra. I love reading novels like this. No stress, and no emotional entanglement.

I hope to read the 2 extra chapters soon

As everybody also said, this story is just so good. I've mtl-ed this but even that was still pretty understable. As I was saying, this novel is just too good. All the character, most especially the MC and ML was well written and had depth. I really love the fact how the premise of the MC's rebirth happened and how the plot of the story progressed.

Moreover, the part where MC became a wisp of soul and just watched over how the ML lived his life in utter loneliness to when he committed su*cide and then on beheaded and had his body thrown was so painful to read especially from the MC's perspective. You can feel not just his sadness but also his regret, frustration, and just despair for the the ML and generally for the lost time that they could've spent happily together.

Fortunately, the story ended well and even in the extra chapters, I'm so happy that the original ML's life had closure.

Maybe I'll read this again after it becomes fully translated. All in all, it such a worthy read. <<less

This is a story about breaking down the walls that have been built to protect ourselves,

That wall suppose to make us feel save but instade it keeping us away from those we love...

This story make you know that sometimes you need to open up, give yourself a chance to know that you deserve to be loved.

... more>> This makes me feel calm. Their love is very romantic, the author explains clearly why the main character can give birth, and why he is reincarnate again.

I personally like stories like this.

There is a characters that I had to let go of without knowing their ending.
Spoiler

like Xue Wuyi who we know that he is dead but I really want to see a happy ending, then Qi Wei who doesn't have a partner and maybe a mermaid character named Xiao Mu Yu who helps them in the last few chapther... yes there are some characters that I wish in fanwai (extra)

[collapse]

About the extra is a little confusing in the last 2 chapters but after I reread it again, its all clear, maybe I can share a note from the author in original article

in the original article the author said that
Spoiler

MC came back to untie ML's heart knot (in chinese heart knot means unsolved problem that been keep deep down in heart) in his previous life, and after turning it into a happy memory ML recalled about his previous life, so there is no more regrets

so ML (the sad emperor) rebuilds his life of up to 15 years to the current timeline,

he (curent emperor) wakes up and remembers the story of his previous lives and with both memories unites with MC
