Tbr: Male MC + Female regent

❤️❤️❤️❤️Yesss!!! A translator finally picked back up one of my favorite novels here!❤️❤️❤️❤️

❤️❤️❤️ Ok, this is clearly not historical but contrary to what the title, synopsis and cover would make you think, this novel is a little gem.... more>>

Mc transmigrates into an apocalyptic novel, 3 days before the end of time and a few weeks before her death by zombies trying to flee. So she decides that, in account of her weak frame and utter lack of survival skill, might as well make use of those 3 days to hoard as much food as possible, rent a beautiful and isolated villa and live in peace and contentment as a salted fish till everything runs out and then she can just die peacefully by gaz. That’s her original plan till the ML comes up and changes things 

The apocalyptic genre here is more the setting, there’s not too much action here, it’s more a chronic of their day-to-day lives under semi-quarantine. 

And did I mention that they’re both hilarious? Mc’s solution to most problems is just to lay down and wait for death and ML is the voice of reason who always bargains her into continuing and pushing through. So between our fatalistic Mc and the full of optimism ML, you get a good balance of teamwork and personality. what needs be done will eventually be done while also trying to keep a semblance of normalcy, a microcosm of peace in this hell.

To sum up this novel, I would say it’s a warm fire in the middle of a raging blizzard: absolutely heart-warming and much needed :)  <<less

❤️❤️Just 3 chapters as of yet but still, the MC is kickass so I have a feeling I’m going to love this novel :)  Author... more>> of Dreamer in the spring boudoir <<less

❤️❤️I’ve been mtl-ing a few chapters everyday for the past couple weeks and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. It’s not the most complex historical novel I’ve read ( a.k.a really slow and simplistic) but the chemistry between the main leads, their emotional growth and care made those 158 chapters an absolutely lovely and tranquil read. Would definitely recommend for those who have the patience ;)... more>>

Oh and the male lead is a yandere. Mentioning it in case it bothers some.

Mtl is super clear for those who wish to get there <<less

❤️❤️❤️ For the first 30 chapters... more>>

❤️❤️ For the rest

 I remember MTLing this novel! It has the most captivating and epic first 30 chapters I’ve ever read in historical CN! You could just FEEL through the pages all the pain, anger and indignation of the Mc. I honestly think my heart broke a hundred time over in just those few chapters lol  Just for that level of amazing-ness, I would recommend it. Afterwards it became more of a romance story which was still nice but not as great. <<less

❤️❤️ For the first 30 chap... more>>

❤️ For the rest 

Great read for the first 30 chapters!  honestly, the story could have just ended there and I would have been happy lol  MC and ML are the most amazing and caring characters and both do their fair share of growing up. Later on it became centred around the romance only which made it quite boring to me. Read up to 100th chapter. <<less

❤️ Finally a translation! Y’all this novel is pure, unadulterated sweeteness!  I read the first few chapters a couple years back and both the MC and the ML where lovely, gentle and caring. A reviewer compared it to the novel "Our Second Master" and on feels, I have to agree. Hopefully it keeps on being translated! MTL is quite easy as well :)... more>>

Edit: dropped it when I reached 300 chapters since the plot stalled and became redondant. Still, the first 200 chapters are definitely worth a read! <<less

❤️ ❤️ If you’ve read “ The grand secretary’s pampered wife” and enjoyed it, then this slice-of-life novel is for you. MC wakes up in the body of an overweight, overbearing and pampered, countrygirl of medieval China and decides to make the best of it. ... more>>

There’s no revenge theme here, just an sweet account of their day to day lives. Her family’s absolutely hilarious, the ML, so far, seems cool and comes with three adorable little munchkins and the MC herself is quite resourceful and funny.

A good read so far :) <<less

❤️ Amnesia trope. A light and  cute novel mainly thanks to the MC who is lovely and  endearing. ML(s) are … not great but not... more>> the worst either atm. Will keep on reading  <<less

❤️❤️  A real psychotic villain ML + Not-OP MC + rebirth? Now that’s a combo I’m interested in!  A romance novel with a bit of... more>> action. Quite fun so far! <<less

❤️Sweet and light business slice-of-life with a resourceful MC, an adorable bun, a hilarious mother-in-law, a supposedly dead husband who should reappear and be the... more>> ML and a subplot with the Royal succession. So far, a lot of fluff :) <<less

❤️ (half a heart) Light story, set in cultivation world/sect, where both MC and ML are cold, tsunderes and suffer from intended facial paralysis. So... more>> far, my favorite character has been the donkey, no joke. <<less

❤️Its from the author of “ In search of love”, one of my favorite novels here!... more>>

Read up to chapter 25. Here we have a mix of unusual genres:, coming of age story, spy intrigue, city adventures, and no romance yet.  It makes for quite an cool read, but sometimes a bit discordant cos while the author is passable with action, it’s visible that intrigues is not their forte; the spying bit makes absolutely no sense.

So far, I absolutely adore the MC: she is undoubtedly the star of the novel (plot included). Flexible, resolute, astute, and a dreamer at her core. One who wishes for a life other than the one she will be shackled to. And willing to fight for it (or escape lol). ML is also a cool cat.

But I just wished the other characters were just as fleshed out… the plot mostly  revolves around MC  and seems a bit redundant at times. But still enjoying it and since it’s too early to tell, I’ll keep reading it :)  <<less

❤️ Decent but very quiet and uneventful read. Reborn ML, daughter of the richest merchant  + cold and indifferent ML, a prince. Their relationship was taunt  in the first life. Once reincarnated to a year after their wedding and the birth of their son, MC decided not to be afraid of the frigid and uncommunicative ML and live her life this time around. The novel is not romance or slice of life really more a story of the 10 years spent together as they grow. That lasts 100 chapter and then we have politics (without MC as a real protagonist) for the next 88.... more>>

Honestly, didn’t like the ML for more than half of story. He later became more gentle (or domesticated ) and grew to be more palatable.

Completed through Mtl <<less

❤️ From the translator who picked “Who cares” and  “ I became the stepmother of my ex-husband” ... more>>

So far, it’s a very light-hearted romance with a sugary sweet, opposites attract, shoujo feel, sprinkled with a good dose of hilarious moments which made me chuckle out loud. It’s just a shame there’s very little plot yet. The romance seems to be the point of the story.  But it’s still early days so fingers crossed for more! 

 Oh, and there’s a few "hot and bothered scenes" (no s*x though) which for historical romances is soooo rare and *cough* appreciated*cough*.

For this dreary winter morning, it felt like a nice little mood booster :) <<less
