Description

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

Transmigrating into a character who retires after three chapters in a palace struggle novel, Gu Yi, who had read the book (The Heartless Emperor Fell in Love with Me), counted her fingers. There were still three days to go.

Beauty Gu died three days later.

Seventy-two hours of life and death.

It was hard to survive the plot of dying, and Gu Yi had to rely on preserving the main plot. She must keep her dog’s head alive to leave the palace as a happy, rich woman after the male and female lead confesses their eternal love and disperse the six palaces!

Unfortunately, the heartless emperor ultimately rejected her request heartlessly. “Darling, during those past years, did you lie to me when you said you loved me?”

Highlight: The male lead is the emperor. If you do not like it, please don’t read it.

This novel is so underrated! I hope it gets more attention.

The romance it’s peak. The relationship between the ML and FL it’s so good that it made my cry with the final and the extras.

I think it’s has the perfect balance of everything, sometimes it’s funny, angst and dramatic. For anyone wondering there is a harem but the use is more for political reasons rather than the emperor’s pleasure.

Anyways, the story is completed on My Drama Novel, idk why it doesn’t appear on here and the translation is pretty good!

I cried hard at the end (of the last fanwai) . I think the story was written well..

There were some moments where I really feel helpless with FL's actions and thoughts, but FL herself was helpless.

Spoiler

She transmigrated into a novel and was 'wiped out' a few times without knowing why. FL was clever. She tried to navigate her life thru her own understanding.

[collapse]

And I like how the author only reveals parts of the plot when it's triggered. So there was not much repetitive narrative of backstories.

Spoiler

ML seems ruthless (as the title says) , but he was actually lonely and romantic at heart. He's suspicious but not paranoid. His love for the FL comes from anticipation and longing for a loyal companion.

[collapse]

I enjoyed reading the story, especially the relationship and romance between the leads.

All in all, a recommended reading for all 🌈🪸

p.s. I hope the rating can increase~ it's really a great story..

Gu Yi has it hard. Contrary to other FL in other reborn novels she doesn’t have the luxury of „maybe following the storyline“. She has to follow the storyline, at least with mayor plot points - or the novel will just kill her off and everything will begin at the start.

So she has to navigate the palace life as a low-ranking concubine / Meiren while simultaneously trying to facilitate the relationship between the emperor and the ogFL. Which is frankly exhausting- especially since the emperor seems more interested in her... more>> than the supposed FL.

The ML/Emperor is a rational and calculating person. His harem is not really a place for contentment and tender feelings but a mirror of court politics and fractions. This is something he knows and something (most of) his harem knows. As he gets to know the FL he’s kind of stumped and doesn’t really know what to do with her - on one side he wants to be closer to her and on the other side he doesn’t understand why she just doesn’t get his hints or tries to curry favor with him (he himself doesn’t really have that much experience, if any, in the romantic department).

As for the FL, while she has her moments of despair, she’s resilient, optimistic and resourceful. She tries her best and hopes for a serene and peaceful life once the emperor dismisses the harem at the end of the story. In her interactions with the emperor, she generally goes along with his wishes but also guards her heart because she knows, no matter what she feels, the novel won’t allow the story to go awry.

While the novel has comedic undertones, it’s still tragic and sad at times, it gets more somber in the middle.

Spoiler

Around the middle of the novel, everything seems to be going great - the ML seems to be in love with the FL, their relationship seems somewhat stable and she finally gets to breathe a little bit and then - boom - everything back to the start. It’s only natural that the FL feels completely disheartened. Only this time everything seems to be a little bit different. The emperor is even colder and more dismissive, so it’s harder for her. Still, the emperor seems to unconsciously remember their former time line, but everything seems to be layered in mist. I liked who the emperor found out about their former timelines and her deaths, and how he fought against their supposed fate

[collapse]

The ogFL:

Spoiler

While she’s not really a white lotus, she’s not really that innocent either / her approaching the ML is very much calculated but seemingly out of affection although it later seems like she just wanted to have power.

[collapse]

Still, I enjoyed it a lot and especially the interactions and the banter of the two leads. <<less
