This Is Ridiculous

Wang Cuihua, an ordinary corporate s*ave, was on her way home when she suddenly transmigrated into a web novel. There, she became Yu Wanyin, a tyrant’s concubine. As it turned out, it was Concubine Yu’s turn to serve His Majesty in bed that night.

Upon meeting the tyrant, his words and mannerisms gave Yu Wanyin a curious sense of déjà vu. After careful contemplation, she decided to sound him out.

“How are you?” she blurted out in English.

The rims of Xiahou Dan’s eyes reddened, and he fell silent.

At length, he replied, also in English, “I’m fine, and you?”

I don't have anything to say about the novel - it's f*cking fantastic. I love the 'two funny transmigrators who have to work together' trope, and it's rare to see it done so well. The two of them just crack me up, and the plotline is also shaping up very well.

What I'm really here for is to stan the translator. Those frequent updates! The flowiness of the prose! The clever way that it uses colloquialism to distinguish between modern and historical speech! How it reads so well in English and... more>> doesn't smell like MTL at all! Take this humble reader's knee. :) <<less

I've MTLed this to the end after reading available translated chapters because it is just that good.
Spoiler

Written from FL's view, there is so much suspense and mystery around everyone's identity and motives, even ML himself. And despite putting the readers into a detective mode scrutinising every little word and action a character does, the novel never failed to highlight the lighthearted parts of life as a transmigrator and the hilarious shenanigans that ensue when two (or three) transmigrators meet each other in ancient times.

I got shivers when the plot started edging on breaking 4th wall:

Spoiler

FL has transmigrated into a book about transmigration (call it book A), where ogFL was supposed to be a cannonfodder but after transmigration, turned things around with her knowledge of the plot of book she read (call it book B). There is an aspect where she brings up the fact that ogFL, even if she thinks she's human and everyone else is a paper character, is a paper character herself as a protagonist of a book (book A). OgFL's character, actions and personality are all written into fruition in book A. FL herself gained a bit of insight and started spiralling into the fact if she might just be a character someone else is reading about (BRUH GIRL YOU ARE). Though this didn't last long, it did give me a lot of goosebumps.

[collapse]

I've never personally read a novel so well executed, that all the hidden plot twists make sense when you think back on it. The ending does seem a bit rushed, but I think it ended at a good point in time because any longer would've been just dragging on. There are some politics that could've been expanded further, but personally wasn't too invested in it so it's better for me (i was here for dog food and I was served dog food, im satisfied).

I couldn't even begin to describe just how good this "short" novel is.

In fact, it's not short at all. At 27 chapters and extra, the author jammed a lot of twist and turns so each chapter is very very long.

We started with a cliche transmigration story, followed by discovering a teammate transmigrated person and plotting together how to save their lives. Then gradually, the mysteries came up.
Spoiler

like ML already transmigrated since 10 years ago, like how villain is aware of their gifts, and how ML has a sliver of backup plan when you just thought this will be the end.

[collapse]

I love how the conspiracies played out. There's always an interesting turn just when I think I can predict the next move.

Ending is a bit cliche but nonetheless very satisfying.

A sure 5 stars to this story.

Surprisingly good. I didn't expect author could include so much in 27 chapters. I don't pay attention to how author execute the plot (so can't say how logical it is) but overall I think it was decent. The writing was at least convincing and the narrative vivid.

I could picture out the scenes in the story while reading and author also maintained momentum, keeping my interest to the book.

Highly recommended 👍👍

I'm shocked at how much I've loved this and it's oneself partly due to the misleading genre choices. Plus, it's not a short story despite the format (1chap here = 4 chapters elsewhere).

This story is akin to an onion with multiple layers. You think your getting something light and airy yet, as you keep peeling, you realize that it actually errs in morally gray zones.

Two people transmigrate as cannon fodder in Ancient Chinese novel and decide to overturn destiny. It seems to be a recurrent plotline yet it is well... more>> thought off, with twists and turns that are genuinely surprising and our MC and ML are both fascinating and decent folks. It's honestly a fresh take and I couldn't be happier. <<less

⚠️This story has an implied r*pe. ⚠️ Scene isn't detailed but hinted from how ML's son is born.

Despite being 27 chapters with 3 extras, each chapters are long. But still this is a short story that you can read within a day.

This story focus more on politics than romance. And it's because of this that I didn't mind that ML has a son as I personally don't like shipping a couple with one having a child and the other none. But...

Spoiler

As this story didn't focus on romance and didn't focus on the child, I didn't really mind. I do pity his end, having no parental love and the closest using him as a tool. But I understand ML not wanting him (fruit of the r*pe) and especially when he went trying to kill ML.

[collapse]

Speaking of, I really like how this crown prince was introduced.

Spoiler

Author made it like he is a transmigrator by introducing a kid that got isekai to the crown prince and doing his best to contact the heroine, but in fact it's ML when he was a kid.

[collapse]

I also love that they introduce a friendly transgender character.

Spoiler

The twist to the "childhood sweetheart" of ML's mom.

[collapse]

Overall, it's a good read, just not something I would recommend if you just want romance.

This is simply a story of 2 transmigrators trying survive ancient china. Eating hotpot, they help out each other but in secret both are playing a 3D chess with each other, keeping secrets and backup plans until soon they fall in love and do their best together as one. <<less

I love it so much!

If you're looking for a not-so-heavy-on-the-dark-side-and-unlimited-mu*ders historical novel, I highly recommend this one!

It's very enjoyable and the relationship between the two MCs is super harmonious. Their partnership and friendship just fell perfectly into place, even before any romantic relationship. Their personalities are great and their both effing hilarious. There's nothing too heavy or angsty in the novel though I did cry a bunch of times (I'm an emotional person).

As I've mentioned, the FL and ML have a beautiful dynamic. They're able to literally only rest when... more>> they're with each other, and there's a lot of normalcy. The things they do to bond are really relatable as modern people. They make jokes and references that only the other can understand–I think this and their friendship gives the court intrigue a good contrast.

I didn't expect it to be one of my favorites among novels I found through NU, but here we are. I loved it so much to the point I had to research it to find it in different mediums. And guess what? Apparently there's a donghua coming out! I've seen the PV already. I'm so excited for it! <<less

I may rate it again later, but for now I don’t know how I actually feel about the novel. It was very dramatic with many ups and downs! I was almost certain it was a tragedy with no way out for most of the novel. The emperor is in such a hopeless situation. I’ve never seen the life of a political puppet so vividly explained. He works so hard with no way out.

About the r*pe tag

... more>>
Spoiler

The victim is shockingly the Tyrant. This is off-camera, but a pivotal part of what makes the Tyrant a Tyrant. There is a flashback to a scene explaining that he did not want to leave any children, because he would lose his value as a puppet. He refused to touch the harem and killed any concubines forced onto him which harmed the interests of the image dowager. The exact scene cuts off as a room full of male and female servants force medicine down, likely aphrodisiacs. This is likely the origin of the “son”. It’s no wonder the empress died quickly after childbirth.

[collapse]

The transmigration of the male and female leads has a lot of humorous interactions between them, but the situation is not easily broken by their presence. The novel is full of adversity and an almost completely hopeless fight against fate. The heavenly way even gets a little pissed off at them for resisting their scripts so hard. This makes the struggle even more difficult.

Wow it was good, but my energy felt so drained after reading it. <<less
