I have two problems with this story, that led me to dropping it:

    1. Structure of the story. It does not flow naturally. At no point does the world feel fleshed out or the events really connected or realistic. MC need to be at hot spring to care for a s*ave? poof she's there for weeks. Rescue orphans? shove them in carriage and never hear of them before they are perfectly accepted/integrated handmaids. s*ave wants to see the lord or lord wants to see s*ave? the world is suddenly empty and without doors or conventions. Minister with power and connections needs attitude check? suddenly he's alone and without connection. It makes little sense
    2. The bait and switch. The author obviously wants to write homos*xual romance, and obviously has the MC come to terms with being attracted to another man. The fact that it will be reverted down the line like "lol, you were always into girls, not like those degenerate gay rapjsts" is infuriating. As is the fact that so far all the corrupt evil bastards are gays rapists and the good guys are asexuals or in love with the FL.
That the society is so obviously gay with little to zero women present, I can accept, it's some sort of extreme fusion of ancient gay greece and fantasy china. Why not.

I disagree with the idea that the world is hard/gritty. It's not because you have s*aves and gay r*pe that it's not a bit full of carebears on most other themes. The FL ordering one spy executed is treated as some huge thing but it's... normal? And the main trope of the story is the MC being some sort of wimpy insecure golden retriever. Imagine the couple being dropped in a real gritty setting, like, I don't know, game of thrones. They wouldn't even be a match for the kindest of the good guys.

I stopped at the moment where the couple ended alone in the middle of nowhere despite being at the center (and leaders) of a marching army one sentence before. I cannot keep rolling my eyes while reading

Wow! I love this book. The plot and historical details were amazing. On par with Reborn of Military Empress.

The romance could be more fleshed out. Because ahem ahem, we never really knew what happened behind doors hahahahaha. I wanted to know how he was bullied!

I recommend it to anyone who loves a slow romance, it’s cute. Or enjoys the excitement you get when reading a battle... it’s not too detailed or heart pounding but you still hope for the best. The female protag isn’t a Mary sue or someone dumb with just luck. Nor is she dense... then again it’s literally impossible for her to get that wrong but still it’s nice. The beginning may seem a bit slow or that the protag doesn’t do much but that’s just the beginning, it gets better... more>> as time goes on. If you don’t like death and descriptions of dead people/children then don’t read this. If you don’t like war and blood then ya definitely don’t read this. <<less

One of the best country building novel with less than 150 chapters. The MC is somewhat ordinary but she's charismatic. The ML... The ML is cute, such a cry baby general in front of MC but a cold taciturn man in front of other people. By the way, this is GB novel, in which the heroine is in dominant position. The setting itself is not GB, just the situation between MC and ML.

So far reading this is the best ever choice I made. I love how ML is not always the strong ones to protect MC but MC does protect him too. So it goes both way. I would have given it a five star if the kingdom building isn't that shallow. The relationship development between the two is awesome.

What did I just read, other novels can't be compared to this shitty, disgusting novel.

I took all the bullsh*t this novel gave me by a fanatic author who's his imaginations disgust me, so many chapters read for nothing, this author tends to make homosexuality as a normal 100% occurrence done straightforwardly in ancient china... (which even irl this rarely happens) thought it would've gotten better.

... more>>
Spoiler

The author's gotta have mental problems of how he thinks ancient china was back in those days, not saying that homosexuality did not exist in that time but it these series of actions with master/s*ave wouldn't be done so openly without shame in terms of words, actions or punishing s*aves just because HE DIDN'T ACCEPT THAT I AM HOMO EVEN THOUGH I'M HIS MASTER and want him to be my *** toy for a night. No, I guarantee it would've been done discreetly even in ancient china or in our days?, this is a dark topic but although it's true, I do think humans haven't reached that point yet of animalism with only thinking with our lower body parts...

WHICH the author actually inclines in this disgusting novel.

Shitty story resume till c33:

FL transmigrates to a different world (no reason why she transmigrates, how she transmigrates, just that she was white collar worker (typical in China, etc. tendency)) - then gets the lord position by being the fake lord cause brother died- FL then saves ML s*ave numerous times because she actually has a system cheat that allows her to see people's potential by looking at their inner Color feelings which obviously ML is tha beeest- FL gets ML as her own s*ave and ML loyalty forever etc, (the things I've said here barely count cause many ugly things happened in these chapters i've read, other s*aves being forced etc...) then FL with ML and other loyal people with potential Color (cringe mary sue r-r) are expanding their own Great Jin (FL was the Lord of this place independently, as Marquess from her Father then ancestors?... which is illogical in that time, like so many factions fighting for land but why this name when there should've been a monarch but no monarch, r.i.p from plot loopholes 30x) and while they succeeded so easily to gain more cities, finally something happens to her army, from a villain out of nowhere, FL's army got under attacked and ML took FL on his back and ran far away, the ML stopped because he was hurt by two arrows out of nowhere they stopped where ML takes the arrows out, then FL carries ML hardly in this land of 0 details, and they find a cover very cool in the forest, they take care both of each other and abruptly comes a bunch of soldiers out of nowhere where FL tells her identity as Marquess, and they get on a ship?? to Yan place..., FL is given a good room while ML who has the mark of s*ave is put into a prison, FL then sees Princess Yan, the sister of Yan owner, FL and this Princess Yan make a marriage of convenience, because Princess Yan was married before to an old duke by her brother, but he died of illness, and now she's a widow meaning it would be hard to marry plus Princess Yan is an amorous person for males q-q and FL tells the reasons that she wanted to escape and that she likes that s*ave as a cut-sleeve r-r, Princess Yan's mother is satisfied by FL and considers him in the first chapter they meet 100% son-in-law already....., then they get married (this is where I said, my limit is done chapter to c31 as I was too shocked of what I've just processed in my mind by reading those chapters, then reading two more chapters after that disgusting event) and at the night event of marriage they have different rooms ordered by Princess Yan where Princess Yan is with her lover and ML was moved to the marriage event room (cause as Princess Yan understands they are lovers) and then FL arrives and realizes that ML is drugged and.................... "helps" him relieve himself, I'm out, the end....

In the end, what I've just read was a novel full of plot holes and full of disgusting ideals, like the author wants to make you get you used with these... lustful minor and major events in his novel as something normal just because it's "ancient china"... what disturbed me the most was that "helping him relieve", I do accept ancient china wasn't and isn't perfect even now the present world isn't perfect with the series of evil deeds that are done, just that I don't accept this private deed as something normal... hope you are with me on this, author's imagination related to this novel has no sense of what's wrong or what's good for a character, again just because it's "ancient china" as he considered something like this as a "sweet interaction" maybe and as a minor event, sigh...

Author gives "sweet interactions" kinda making you from dull/forget about the disgusting events as you read FL's and ML's interactions, as this is what I think was what the author put the most effort in, their relationship= FL independent macho position considers ML s*ave who's grateful to her when crying x4 times as cute, the end of their relationship.

[collapse]

I don't recommend this novel at all, in my opinion, would've given it 0 stars if I could, one of the worst novels I have read in my entire reading adventure.
Spoiler

I guess 1 star for that Mo Gu An... (rest in peace r-r) who served as a plot and shield for ML, till now I haven't seen ML saying something about trying to find his family to FL master, rip details.

[collapse]

Good night... <<less

Persevere when you read this masterpiece! The beginning is totally frustrating but it gets better! This is a rare gem, prepare tissues because you need them! I think TL should put warning in some chapters too because it can trigger people.

10/10 one of the best novel on NU.

an interesting novel about a modern woman transmigrating into ancient china kinda setting and her journey to get rid of s*avery and s*ave trade. mid-way into the novel I found myself asking why she was trying so hard when she had zero obligation and realized it was mentioned she had a system (but not really?) and only after she reached that goal did she have hope to return.

a lot of times in the novel things felt jumpy but again I did mtl so...

the novel doesn't have much 'women empowerment' for... more>> anyone who came here for that nor does it have heavy drama or much political intrigue really.

it feels more like a pass-the-time novel, nothing too memorable but interesting enough to keep me going.

it seems to only have 117 chapters yet I felt the ending mostly unsatisfactory, I mean we were given a vague idea that she planned on travelling then going back to the modern days...i was quite looking forward to knowing about what happens after they return since her backstory was pretty non-existent.

not bad but not too good either.

3 stars for me.

ps I love the ML hes such a crying bag lmao im envious the MC got to bully him so much... :P <<less

I enjoyed this novel a lot at first. Heart wrenching, good buildup of the romance, good character development for the MC. Later chapters only have MTL available so the translation quality fell off. I think I see why the translators dropped it at that point because the storyline falls off there too.

The initial struggle and intrigue of MC being new to this world, with no real allies or understanding of how to live in it, is interesting, but as it wears off the author doesn't replace it with anything equally... more>> compelling; it just feels like they try to keep up the angst for nothing or manufactured reasons. Similarly I enjoyed the slow burn of the romance at first. The MC fears revealing her identity to the ML because she's in a delicate position. It makes sense that she'd worry his love, loyalty and respect for her might disappear upon learning she's a woman, especially given the era. However once things come to light and their mutual love is clear the romance is still slow... because reasons?

If you need stories with rock solid endings, this one is not for you. However I'm still glad I read it for the early chapters. <<less

So far, it’s really good. I like novel with FL in a higher status and ML in lower status. Hehehe it’s a slower burn love, which I like, but I wish for more scene of their interaction together. I feel like the interaction scenes was cut off way to soon. It’s like she kisses him then the scene end.

I get that some of these novels are supposed to be fantasies for us readers to get lost into and I love them to death but, its nonsensical to believe a modern day woman with a typical modern day job could dive into being a ruler and army commander of a country that is drowning in rampant wars, power struggles, s*avery and corruption; I love kingdom building, generals and what not but I like my novels with some realism in them.

The author doesn't explain how, what, when and where this... more>> system comes from that supposedly helps her identify people auras and potential besides her role as ruler and commanding armies seem too rushed and unreal too, if the author mentioned that she was a police officer or soilder or even had some bit of martial arts background in her last life, that would help explain how she easily fit into her role, am not asking for a history in everything just wanted some breadcrumbs here and there to paint a clearer picture. <<less
