As a result of a plane crash, Chen Xing arrived in a never-seen-before dynasty. Here, there were not only women and men but also a Ger who could bear children. Not only did he become a Ger, but he was also married off as the substitute bride to a medicine jar that wouldn’t live for long. The first time he saw him, Chen Xing thought, ‘A medicine jar is a medicine jar, anyway, he is good-looking, so it’s not a loss for me. In the future, I can open a restaurant and support him.’

Later on, as his little restaurant grew bigger and bigger and as his customers also became more and more distinguished; he gradually realized that his frail husband was not quite the same as he had imagined.

BEWARE OF FALSE INFORMATION IN COMMENTS WITH LOW RATINGS.

I usually only comment under books where the readers have given false information/unfair ratings so that people who are serious about reading won't go past these books for no reason.

It's not THE best under the genre, but it's still a good read. My honest rating would be four stars, but I gave a five as some people who dropped the book early gave unfairly low ratings - a single start or two stars.
    1. mxdberries says that there are no kissing until chapter 68 and only handholding. But they've just confessed in this slice of life novel. And chapter 69 is titled "Holding hands" and 70 is titled "Kiss." (Readers can click on the chapter and verify this). How fast does this reader want things to progress? Maybe she was looking for the wrong genre.
    1. Dovah says, "I can't stand how ML revealed how he forgot MC's s*ave deed & convinced MC to never try to bring up buying back the contract again. What I hate even more is that MC was actually convinced to be ML's s*ave for life." I don't know what s/he's talking about as that's not what happens in the story at all.
Spoiler

What actually happens is that the ML goes to the Yamen and removes both the MC's and his mother's name from the s*ave list and gives the s*ave contract back to the ML and informs him that the MC is free to do whatever he wants, which includes MC choosing to divorce ML and walking his own path. He literally says that to the MC. ML is in a situation where he cannot reveal everything about himself/his true identity to the MC, so he takes things slow as he hopes to be totally honest with the MC one day. The MC even wonders why he stops at kissing even after they have confessed to each other and decide to live as a truly married couple. He is that gentlemanly. Further, it's the ML and his secret guards who protect the MC behind the shadows. So I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY people make him out to be this big villain.


ONE MORE THINGS - the stories of this genre are based on actual history. If that's the case, a noble can't accept a s*ave as the main wife. So all that's left to do is to inform the government that the ML has taken the MC as his legal wife and request to remove his name. However, it's the marriage itself that actually annuls it. So there is no reason for ML to 'delude' himself that the MC is a s*ave after the marriage. But the MC doesn't know this as he is from the modern times and believes that he was still a s*ave after their marriage.
[collapse]

Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a slow-paced slice-of-life transmigration with a 'building a business' to thrive setup + face slapping.

It was okay. ML was a bit disappointing in his ability to manage the situation. The court scenes were farcical.

I couldn't really get into it because all the plot was largely on the ML's side and the MC is oblivious, even until the end.

I really like this genre (transmigration to ancient Chine, the fictional matter of three gender, making money, poor to rich and even the ever boring cooking or business or something etc.). So I more or less read almost every novel that features this genre. However, I can honestly say that among all of them, this one was probably the most boring and completely felt like a waste of time.

MC & ML both of their characterization left a disgusting taste in my mouth. The whole plot and overall writing bored me... more>> to tears.

Thus, my review is this: I regret reading this. <<less

At first it started out really nice. MC seemed independent, though a bit foolish w/ low EQ for romance, it wasn't so bad. He kept trying his best to provide for ML & trying to save $ to buy back his s*ave contract from ML. ML also seemed kind & considerate of MC & lets MC work hard to buy back his s*ave deed & let him do whatever he wants while trying to protect him behind the scenes. However, I had to drop this at ch33. I can't stand... more>> how ML revealed how he forgot MC's s*ave deed & convinced MC to never try to bring up buying back the contract again. What I hate even more is that MC was actually convinced to be ML's s*ave for life. Ugh MC's just plain s*upid at this point. How can someone from the modern world not have enough self respect to fight for his own freedom & dignity? How can you willingly be ens*aved by law so you'll have to serve another's whims all your life & let him mu*der/sell u as he pleases whenever he wants?! Especially when that person never cared/or even thought of how you felt while being forced to be ens*aved and always be at a disadvantage/in a lower status of an unequal relationship, freely being oppressed by the one holding your s*ave contract at their whim in a world under dictatorship and where harems are the norm & human rights/protection only exists for the privileged. <<less

It's not too bad, it's pretty boring after a while though (ch50~ish) the routine gets repeated alot, plus the way the MC interacts with ML becomes boring after a while.

While there's progress in their romance, the way he would daze off and doesn't talk, gets flustered and then runs away just becomes kind of the pit of the novel. I don't mind a plain MC, I quite like his personality and his way of thinking actually - even if he's naive and a fool, I can see why the ML... more>> likes him.

What I don't like is lazy writing, it's fine to have plain characters (it's not a crime to me) but it's not fine to write boring scenes.

Boring scenes are on the writer's part. I don't even mind if the pace is as slow as a turtle, I think there was a lot of potential and I can see fondness and deep feelings in certain places (i.e. When ML finally got revenge on the Zhao family) -- but the execution might not be up to par, so it came off abit short. And some parts (between MC and ML) wasn't as touching, became a pit for the novel as well.

Other than that, it's still an alright novel to read to pass time. Very typical transmigrated to ancient times, got married to a 'weak' gong, restaurant building / face slapping for people in power who wants to hurt their business. Very routine, but it's fine. <<less

3.5🌟 it's okay. MC is kind and a biiit silly. Ml's past is tragic

... more>>
Spoiler

his mom helped a family of refugees and his father helped them to start their own business. The head of the family got greedy and colluded with the county magistrate to massacre ml's entire family (ML was the only survivor). ML later worked as the prime minister and retired to his old home. ML took his revenge slooowwwly to torture them and the ones swallowing his family's assets psychologically instead of using his position as PM to clean them up.

their twin children are typical geniuses; understood MC completely when they were a bit more than 3 month-old.

What's with the Low Rating???

This novel was truly good so far!

It has unique start. The relationship between MC and ML at the beginning wasn't shown to be like Spouse nor Family, more like Housemates and ML was like a Landlord kind of.

It took maybe 30ish chapter for them to actually started act like Family. With ML and MC both mentioned about the Debt thing that need or doesn't need to be paid. Which help destroy the first wall between them. In that part of course ML was already so far... more>> I Adore MC affectionately.

MC is sweet, not timid nor super brave. He's trying his best and I Love it!

ML's background still the Biggest Mystery. We still don't know how truly Power or less powerful he is. But so far ML does have way to protect MC and himself.

The setting of their living place also rare. They're not in Country side but in actual City, so MC already facing some Rich Young Master/Lady to keep thriving.

Anyway I pray sooo hard the rest of the story is as Good and Satisfying till the end!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Finished at 25 August 2024:

This Absolutely Satisfying in a way all the Trouble cleared Perfectly. All the bad guys get what they deserve and not in exaggerated way. They truly deserve all the Punishment they get in here.

For the romance, it's not slow. But compared to other novel, for MC and ML to truly be intimate, that's how long they took the time. While they already confess to each other in 60ish, but the Intimacy was slower.

Anyway this novel while not perfect, is Absolutely Really Good and I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH and to this day I'm still questioning the Low Rating. <<less

NEW REVIEW (01/29/2023) : I didn't even make it past the 25th chapter this time. Not sure why, maybe I remember the details of the novel too well, and so I got bored more easily. It could also be because there doesn't seem to be any tension in the story. It's just a serious of accidents piling up together with nothing to tie them together. IDK, I'll come back to reread another day.

__________

OLD REVIEW:

MC transmigrates into a unwanted bastard-child of the Chen family with the same name as himself,... more>> Chen Xing. Almost immediately after transmigration, he ends up being handed over to the town's "star of misery" (the ML, Gu Lang) as a wife. It should be said that this is a fantasy Ancient China setting, where there are 'Gers' capable of giving birth to children, though that's not really the focus of the novel.

I was expecting this to be a farming-type novel -- you know, with the usual family drama and stuff. And while there is a little of the later involved, the main focus of the story is actually on cooking and business management. The MC was sold to the ML and he decides to pay the debt back by establishing a restaurant slowly. His background as a chef allows him to do this easily, and he's hard working enough that he manages to do make money in no time.

I would recommend this novel to those that are looking for something simple and semi-sweet. There's a bit of background drama cause the main CP keep a lot of secrets from each other. But the slice of life aspects are mainly on business, so! Yeah! If you like that poor-to-rich kinda of vibe, this is worth the read! The TL at Knoxt is still ongoing but the quality is good! I read some of the MTL, which is not the best, but it's not the worst either!

Note: I'll write the full breakdown of rating scores when I finish reading it later. For now, the tentative rating is 3.5/5 rounded up to 4 stars. <<less

I think this book is a matter of preference.

I started on it despite the rating, more because I have a huge fondness for this genre. This genre usually involves: forced/arranged marriage, gers, MC being amazing at making money, a lot of plot holes or some sort of illogical happening lol, MPreg or the promise of MPreg, an underestimated MC and ML, faceslapping, slice of life, and campy characters lol.

I would say this story is pretty mid compared to others in this genre. It's not bad, but there are also others... more>> I enjoyed more than what I got from this. I usually have a '10 chapters before dropping' rule, but I made myself continue reading because of the strong defending reviews and it was light and easy to consume.

But honestly, after 20+ chapters, I found myself bored af lol. Before anyone comes at me with the 'Slice of Life' tag, there are really good ones in this same genre with the 'Slice of Life' tag that wasn't boring at all.

In this one, the cooking and dishes were ok. The MC was ok. The ML was... meh.

Upon reflection,
Spoiler

maybe my problem centered around the ML and his involvement in the development of the MC? In other stories in this genre, it usually starts with the MC (and ML) being in a desperate situation. They both have things to hide. MC, his transmigration/reincarnation, and ML, his maybe hidden potential or part of his past or background that he wouldn't have been able to unlock well without the MC.

In this genre, the MC and ML are forced into a partnership, where they have to struggle to survive and grow against huge odds, with only each other to rely on, learning to trust and love each other along the way.

I'm not saying this book has to be like the others, but maybe that's why I found it boring. Early on we realize, there is barely any struggle at all. MC doesn't need to make money because ML is OP behind the scenes. The conflict is mostly because ML can't divulge his OP-ness to the MC and MC's assumption of ML being a weak medicine jar.

[collapse]

There was also a lot of telling vs showing.

Others in this genre I would recommend for those who enjoyed this, or maybe were left wanting:

-Accompanied by a Fool To Do Farming

-Transmigration of Mian [Reluctantly] Becomes His Man [Wife]

-Transmigrated to a Blacksmith's Husband

-Butcher Fulang's Noodle Shop

And many more lol <<less

Dropped for now, might come back but probably not

it was a slow book. With the way chapters are split into four parts, they simultaneously feel short but also like nothing happened. I’m about half through the book, the most this couple has done is hold hands and even that’s a struggle. I’m not expecting an intimate scene but what about a kiss?? Both of them love each other so why not?

The main focus at this moment is just the restaurant and while I love food novels, there also needs to... more>> be a story. Where’s the romance? Where’s the revenge? Why are you dragging your feet? Even the evil canon fodder feels lame with what they’ve done. I’m just staring at the ML wondering why he’s letting them have so many benefits when cleaning them up can be easy. They haven’t explained the passing of ML’s family or who did it. But no, the main focus is those who make trouble for MCs restaurant. Even then the MC is just left in the dark and seems clueless of how powerful ML is. I just don’t like it. I wish he knew, he treats ML like a sickly frail thing to dote on and that would be cuter if MC knew ML wasn’t but nope just in the dark and told to forget things, focus on the restaurant. But like I said the restaurant side of things has become very boring and repetitive and a good chunk of restaurant scenes have been taken over by ML and MC is more in the background at this moment.

I’m not sure if it’s the translation or if it’s the author but the way they skip little scenes mid chapter left me annoyed I was missing out dialogue or action. Sometimes what they write conflicts with a characters previous actions and not in a good way but in the “I forgot this happened or I need it this way to better push the story and not other reason” way. This story could have been better but it’s not executed at it’s best.

Also despite Gers being a main feature in this novel, they don’t really mention it much. The most it’s mentioned is the basic gers can have children like regular women and their bodies are weaker that’s why you can’t handle as much work. But like they don’t mention anything else. Like how do they know they’re a ger the author never mentioned a mark or them like in other ger books where that mark is very relevant to fertility. There are no other independent gers working or being shop owners or heck you don’t even see them mention as customers or average people. No men carrying babies or being pregnant. It’s as if the MC is the only ger in the world but also not really since at this point he’s just a slightly weaker person. <<less

Story isn't that bad. I actually quite like ML he is very gentlemanly towards MC. Meanwhile I find MC a little dull, his character is very in line with slice of life genre haha. What brings the story down imo is the quality of translation. It's a little confusing sometimes. The genders would be interchanged from time to time and sometimes they used words/phrasing that were a little confusing. Or maybe that's just me. Other than that I had fun reading this to pass time. It's not the best but... more>> certainly not the worst. <<less

This began as any other bl transmigrated into ancient times where MC is sold to marry ml. The fluff was there at first and use of modern knowledge was implemented, which l enjoyed up to a point. Later the way MC was portrayed as an ignorant and s*upid person every time ML was around frustrated me. I do not like ML personality he treats MC as a naive fool and belittles MC.

I dropped this at chapter 75. I normally try my best to finish the story but this one became... more>> a waste of my time. <<less

  1. for example he made mother chen be cruel and indifferent to her daughter in the beginning and then around the end (for their part) she was trying to please her.
  2. Also the ML & MC decided to start a relationship at some point and then we backtracked to spending time together and asking whether they want to be together.

Plus, the MC never revealed his origins, which according to ML's intelligence is not something he would have disregarded for long

[collapse]

In addition, this is a ger genre, but it wasn't shown properly. Like, dude sees men carrying children and he is ok ? We don't see his reaction ? Only when he is about to give birth?

Overall, I liked it well enough and because it didn't drag that much, it wasn't as tiring as some other novels I've been reading lately. <<less

I had high hopes for this story but honestly, there was very little pay off in the end. I would say that, unlike some other reviews, the face-slapping was boring af and did not feel rewarding at all.

The villains are absolute dumbasses. The MC doesn't participate or help at all because

... more>>
Spoiler

the evidence is always provided by the ML with barely any participation from the MC.

[collapse]
Plus the ML really likes to the keep the MC in the dark about his background / resources / abilities / etc. So basically every time the family goes to court about something or the other, the MC gets just as surprised as the rest of the villains (lol).

Second, because the villains are really s*upid, I found myself wondering for 70 chapters how much better the story would have been if they had just been cut out entirely.

It literally took like 70 chapters for the villains to do these things:

Spoiler
    • try (and fail) to poison the food
    • try (and fail) to cut off the MC's supply chain
    • try (and fail) to set the restaurant on fire
    • try (and fail) to send thugs to assassinate the MC/ML
      [collapse]
I'm like... in another novel, this could have all happened and be wrapped up in 5 chapters lol. The author literally dragged it on forever.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love slice-of-life novels but this one made such a big production of every petty crime the villains did that it took probably like 5 chapters just to get through 1-2 days at the court. I would rather the novel have just focused on the slice-of-life part instead of spending half the chapters inside the yamen / court and listening to people screaming this, yelling that, and ML producing witnesses from the middle of nowhere to refute them lol.

Also I agree with those saying that the ML

Spoiler

literally hid everything so well it was just the MC working super hard for no reason. If he just came clean earlier, they could trick their enemies together and the author could have still written MC working hard for his own reasons. The whole ML is sickly and poor and needs to be protected seriously got old after being emphasized 500 times.

[collapse]

Translation was okay... some mixed up pronouns, run-ons, and missing punctuation. Sentences were often choppy and hard to parse. <<less

And how could he say I wont go back in capital? Like emperor didnt mind... more>> tho?

The number of times the MC had to blush, be stupified, infatuated, and just act plain dumb whenever the ML so much as look at him or do anything random keeps getting on my nerves. It felt like he was living in a cave before transmigrating and never seen anyone good looking. Its not as if the ML was doing anything romantic but for whatever reason, the MC was just that sexually deprived. The author most likely wanted to portray the MC as an innocent and simple minded person but... more>> his actions showed the opposite. He cannot wait to jump the ML.

I do not have the patience to read a novel with an MC bordering a mentally challenged person. <<less

I gave this 4 stars but it's closer to 3.5 stars.

This story is as advertised in the summary. It's a slice of life story after the MC gets transmigrated into a new world. It does not deviate from what's being told to the reader.

This biggest thing that knocked this down to a 3.5 star is because there is a period in the story where it falls so flat that I was honestly tempted to drop the story.

It started great with the MC getting his footing in the new world. You... more>> have the typical family dramas and the struggles that we're introduced that the MC and ML have to overcome. And the slow building of establishing a solid foundation for their success. There was continuous progression to MC's goal.

And then there was this lull period that almost bored me out of the story. The part of the slice of life portion that was almost this story's downfall. The foreshadowing of conflict from the beginning of the story didn't have enough world building so the author took the time to do it then and suffered for it. It was alot of back and forth between MC doing his daily routine and to the antagonists sneaking very slowly in the shadows. The pacing in this portion of the story could've been better with timeskips and focusing on the antagonists to induce some kind of rage bait for the reader. I understand that the author wanted to show off ML's abilities as a reliable husband to MC but the author put that spotlight on the MC's mundane daily life instead of the ML who was doing more interesting things.

The conclusion honestly saved this story. All that foreshadowing and worldbuilding for that family drama did pay off to a great and satisfying face-slapping. Is it cliche to at drama and romance novels? You bet it is. But it's another cake and I'll eat it. MC and ML got their happily ever after and got some revenge.

Honestly, if you can get through that lull period of the story, it does get better. <<less
