Description

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

Mingzhu was an unfavored concubine-born daughter inside her family. One day, she caught the eye of his Highness, the Crown Prince, and was directly sent to his bed. She became his outside mistress. For four or five years, she was locked up in a small courtyard without seeing the outside world. Until one day.

The crown prince was going to marry a wife and without any hesitation granted her a cup of poisoned wine. Only then did Mingzhu realize that she was just a toy he kept to relieve his boredom. After her rebirth, Mingzhu from the bottom of her heart had only one wish : to escape from the cold and heartless crown Prince.

The man despised her for her status that was too low and thus couldn’t marry her. She said “It’s alright”. The man saw that she was well-behaved and sensible, and loved her even more, saying “I will take care of you for the rest of my life.”

Mingzhu pretended to be moved on the surface, but when the time was right, she carried her pregnant belly and immediately ran away. After the person ran away, the prince only then deeply experienced how to write the word regret.

So I have read this only until Chap 5, and I will keep updating my review so that people won't give up on this one yet.

Up until chap 5 it appears that the tone of this story is going to be something heartwrenching where ML was really mean to FL in the previous life. I personally like it and see nothing absurd or crazy abusive yet (hence, I didn't get some other comment so much.) I love 'wife can't escape' kindoff novel so I will just stay and hang in... more>> here until it will we can see more what this novel have to offer.

:) And the translation is also pretty good. So don't get discourage guys! <<less

The female lead (FL) is extremely poorly written: she has no personality, little emotional intelligence, and is completely incapable of having even the most basic communication with the male lead (ML). The author constantly ignores their own narrative rules, creating forced situations where the FL only manages to escape trouble because the plot bends conveniently in her favor. Have I mentioned she comes off as dumb? And not just because she’s submissive — which would be understandable at the start, given the context — but because she genuinely lacks any... more>> logical reasoning. She behaves in a confused, childish, and often irrational way, making her presence hard to tolerate. Honestly, the ML had the patience of a saint, because I couldn’t stand her absurd decisions.

The author has a real talent for writing poorly developed protagonists. At one point, the FL becomes pregnant and tries to get an abortion. The ML, trying to stop her, says that if she doesn’t want the child, he’ll raise it in the palace. And what does she do? She immediately twists his words as if he made that decision without her, completely ignoring the fact that he only reacted because she wanted to kill a fully formed baby. From there, she starts acting like a spoiled brat — which is completely contradictory, considering she’s the daughter of a concubine and didn’t grow up pampered.

To make matters worse, the author adds equally shallow side characters — like her clueless best friend and the ML’s sister — who only exist to drag this helpless FL forward, since she can’t do a single thing on her own.

In short: the FL is weak and inconsistent, the ML is painfully basic (far from the “emotional monster” that some overdramatic reviews describe), and the plot relies on forced drama with zero solid development. A frustrating narrative through and through. <<less

So, I'm not done reading it yet but I'd like to make a review midway reading.

I think there are atleast three things I'm curious about in this novel.

First is whether the Crown Prince did send the poison and what's his reaction or what happened to him after her death?

... more>>
Spoiler

So, Idk what chapter but there were some sneak peak about what happened after MC's death. It shows the momo that feeds her the poison kinda like being punish?

Next is the scene where the CP and junzhu (maybe the crown princess/ not what it means) kinda like arguing? More like the junzhu telling CP that why he didn't marry MC if he loves MC and why he didn't know MC love him something like that.

But that was far from enough, I want like the detailed scenario how he regret or whatever.

[collapse]

Second, I think this is more like a what if for me but I really am feeling sorry for the happy life the MC supposed to live if she didn't catch the CP's eyes. Although, currently she said that what she felt for her former fiance is just a puppy love. MC still held an affect for him which is sad because it was short time.

Lastly, I wonder how will things turn out. Will she be able to escape? Will there be happy ending? O atleast a good conclusion? Cause I don't think I want her to end up with CP (if he's the ML) without him regretting or suffering loses.

Done reading the translated part. I'm lazy to MTL it so I'm going to write my review already.

So, maybe because I haven't read it till the end but, I really can't see the part where MC is being indecisive because as of this moment she is still trying to escape.

Next, I feel really sad and sorry for what happened to MC. Even though, she didn't love her fiance (since it's more like an admiration) but if only she didn't catch the CP's attention she'll be in a more favorable position.

MC is the biggest victim in this story, although there were other characters like MC's ex-fiance who were also a victim. But you cannot deny that ever since the CP taken a liking of her everything declined. It's sad that everyone thinks it's her fault even though she's the biggest victim here. Lastly, I think it's more of a happy ending if she end up with the ex-fiance but by this part it's clear who's the ML. <<less

Is that it? I mean I feel like it's not completed? I've read up to chapter 256 which if it is really the very last chapter then i've completed it but I feel like it's missing chapters idk. Because, that ending is not it fr.

At the end I thought the guy would have like some kind of redemption arc but from what I see, he just dont make the FL feel loved at all? He is not doing enoff I really wanna shut his btch ass up, , although he... more>> kinda pityful at the end but at the same time I always remind myself that FL had it much worse fr.

The story of the ml's parents was much more decent-Zhao Nanyu and Song Luan I miss those names (from Wife cant escape)

And LMAO I feel like the author is a bit sadistic with the ML on like late chapters its so funny.

Anyways overall, plot is good, it has exciting parts, just the ending ermm idk abt that but hey it was written beautifully!! <<less

I am into angst and grovel

So far the build up for the ML grovel is great. I love the writing and translation. I love FL she’s not weak she was young and trapped and fell in love but comes back tolerating nothing.

I even loved the harem set up even though I hate harem novels. ML was very protective of FL but yes his also her ab*ser. I enjoyed seeing the women that bullied her get humiliated back by the prince.

ML is well described don’t know why others are complaining. His... more>> emotions are well written and you can understand his also just as trapped. He wishes he can marry her but realistically due to politics he can’t. That’s just the reality of the time. Either way yes he did kidnap and SA her but the writer keeps ab*se closed door thank God.

The biggest misunderstanding is FL isn’t aware of how others See the Prince cos she’s locked up but others see that the Prince loves her but she can only see her golden cage. This love from him is also obsessive but we can see him seeing how she must feel to be trapped. He even gets away from the capital during important events to be with her so she’s not alone but his too much... nobody is even allowed to look at her smh

Also if you don’t like realistic descriptions of misogyny don’t read any historical romance then come to complain. Do you want them to say and then she was given the highest title and became a business woman. All historical romance novels are Stockholm regardless of how nice ML is doesn’t change the fact that women depended on men for safety. <<less

I feel angry on the ML at the beginning of the story because he forced the MC to be with him despite that she is already engaged. And then he only treated her as bed warmer. But later on, I hated the MC because I think she is unreasonable to ML.

I still like the novel though because I find it not boring to read.

At 1st I'm reluctant to read this story because of the review...I hate s*upid FL who is blindly in love.

But try it anyway because I'm looking for new ancient setting novel to read... and I always check out the story personally... although I don't have high expectation with this one... and then after reading it I was confused... is the story I am reading the same as the one mentioned in the other review?

It's not that tr*sh, I actually like it and from chapter 1 straight to chapter 92, I... more>> was not able to stop... and want more.

The FL is not s*upidly in love with the ML... waiting for her to escape <<less

since this was a male yandere and it was a second chance I had high hopes for this like Yh ML is kinda tr*shy but he changes for her but there was barely any character development. The first few chapters were good but then the plot just kept dragging on ... more>>
Spoiler

and the ending was really annoying because she says she has no feelings for 2nd ML but she never clarifies that to him and till the last chapter still meets up with him and has intimate moments like hugging him and letting him wipe her tears obviously miss leading him and she says she likes the ML again but never says he is the only one to him therefore making him think she still likes the 2nd ML as well but he has ‘character development’ which is why he is no longer super possessive of her and just lets her meet up with 2nd ML and the novel ends with him saying he is afraid to tell her he likes her and it doesn’t matter if she still likes the 2nd ML like what... There is so many unresolved misunderstandings

Well I came here after WCS but no no interesting sh*t happened

I kinda adored that story because there was no love triangle or tr*sh, meanwhile this one? Oh good gods.

Well the ML appears to be the first son of the main couple in wcs, sharing the same name & all, but hey how is he the crown prince now??? Weird.

Anyway probably gonna drop it.
