She had somehow ended up transmigrating into the book as the supporting female lead, who was beaten to death! Deeply in love with the male lead, she’s fated to be beaten to a bloody pulp before even holding hands with him?!

First things first, she needs to survive and latch onto the big thigh of a patron. But the supporting male lead is a true gentleman and feels nothing for her stunning, alluring body. That’s alright! She’ll latch onto the old madame or the male lead then!

But why does the supporting male lead look at her with increasingly odd eyes? And what of that Wulin Alliance Head with the personality disorder? You’re just a random bystander, what are you getting involved for??

Finally, the male lead could bear it no longer and dragged her back to the Prince Li Manor…

I really liked this book. It was a cute story with likeable leads. The female lead was cute, sometimes airheaded but knew what to do and wasn't magically a genious when she transmigrated. The male lead was devoted and straightforward, and didnt hurt the female lead like other novels.

I'd also like to clear up the missunderstanding that the male lead r*ped the female lead. This isnt true. What actually happened was the SECONDARY male lead r*ped ORIGINAL female lead of the novel (who isnt the female lead we follow). The... more>> female lead we follow transmigrated into the body of a side villain of the origional novel <<less

One of the best Chinese novels I've read. I love To Be A Virtuous Wife and Eight Treasures Trousseau and have been looking for something similar. While this book shows more of the modern side of the MC, the historical part and the romance and the comedy makes me give this 5 stars. I love how the MC is not your typical MC because she wasn't supposed to be! She was supposed to be a cannon fodder but with her wits and courage (or a lack of in the beginning)... more>> she was able to overcome whatever obstacle came her way. The ML of course is so doting of her and I love every minute of it! Whenever a misunderstanding arose, it was quickly solved and not dragged out which I so love... Anyways, give this a try if any of those reasons above resonate with you. You won't regret it! <<less

Great novel. Sad to see it end, but quite happy with the ending. It has been an interesting story from the start, every chapter was a must read. Love the characters. ML ando FL (come to) respect and love each other. Honestly want more. Thanks you author and translators, I appreciate the hard work and the great story.

As compared to the usual transmigration novels with OP MC heroines, this one can be considered to be a breath of fresh air. It's funny and entertaining and I love the fluffy interactions of the MC and the ML plus the MIL.

The MC gets pulled into the world of a novel she was reading and has the role of the cannon fodder who dies for a s*upid reason.... Since the MC doesnt want to share the same fate she changes the story little by little to the point the plot has nothing to do with the original ending

It was alright. Many of my problem with the novel has largely been discussed but, I like how both the MC and the ML change and display real character development. Since I read the raws, something I've observed from C-readers is that, they all think the women (MCs) not actually enjoying the s*x is a realistic description. But again, that's them being coquettish or shy. That's how the East views these things perhaps and, the West shouldn't look to find themselves here. It's disgusting ik but the world in the... more>> East is only changing now and we should appreciate their growth. However, I think writing such books where the misery of the MC is clearly written, gives the reader the space to reflect and want and seek better. Idk how better to explain this and I'm too lazy to go into full detail but try to make sense of it please, thanks.

Remember guys, the past is always a way to look back and learn from. No need to be ashamed or shame anyone but if they are genuinely changing, encourage them. All of us have been wrong at one point and continue to be wrong. We are constantly changing and need space to change more.

But, the novel overall is funny with some problematic shit. Enjoy if you're into that. <<less

fluffy and sweet but dummmmmb

if u looking for fluff it's not bad but don't expect logic just close ur eye's enjoy fluff and don't look for plot or reasoning

omg I don't know wtf is exactly is that cactus!!

at first it talks then it plays CCTV by thorns then it appears in dreams of FL to show her some scene then it can shows future and then can show past seriously wtf!!!! Where is the logic couldn't author just use some holy spirit or celestial being instead if dumb cactus even... more>> if u want to use cactus in this term why his abilities have sudden develop when it's necessary!

another problem is FL drastic change of character without develop in midway that doesn't quit fit in

in the beginning she is so timid a bit dumb and logic but with sudden blow she became courageous and bold and willful two complete opposite without develop even at beginning I didn't like her but after some chapters I started liking her or get used to it but her acts and character in the end didn't have any relation with her first image and it didn't fit <<less

It is, plainly speaking, one of my favourite novels on the site, second, maybe, only to The Story of Minglan or The Job of an Imperial Concubine (all three are very different, though).

First of all — the MC. She’s realistic! Help me heavens she thinks like a modern person, a regular girl, not a divine doctor, or an assassin, or a CEO. She just liked novels and suddenly transmigrated.

She can be scared, she tries to go back, and she’s consistent with her way of thinking and basic understanding of the... more>> novel she’s in. She’s cute, but not s*upid, naive sometimes, but can be decisive and crafty.

The novel itself is very light-hearted, all misunderstandings are resolved, and the MC slowly, but steadily, gains love and appreciation of all the people around.

Spoiler

As for ML being, hmmm, more enthusiastic than MC in the matters of flesh, let’s put it that way, imo it’s a cultural thing, and more on the author failing to portray their dynamic in bed, rather than the character being intentionally evil and unfeeling, as otherwise ML is characterised as an inexperienced and earnest person, who, before MC, was wary of women in general, and tries his best to be good to MC.

[collapse]

It’s not worth it to continue reading much further than MC’s pregnancy and birth, though. It’s not bad enough to be awful, but it lacks the charm of the previous chapters, some irrational things happen, supernatural element becomes more prominent and it all ends up not mattering too much. The birth of their child may as well be the end. <<less

Read the tag first. It's a good read, though gets a bit boring during the war arc as MC felt a lot like the typical mary sue on a journey with her male leads, which type of story the novel had mock on so felt hypocrite still seeing that element being used. It does try itself to show how strong and independent MC is but by making MC a bit OP it went against how they been mocking on other stories with OP transmigrators.

But still overall good. The romance, so... more>> long as you are okay with the tags, is fine. Very sweet. MC growth here is also written well from being too scared to stand out to willing to stand up for her men and the country. <<less

what annoys me the most in some of the transmigration novels is that the transmigrators do not realise that this is their life and the novel. However, MC keeps thinking or male lead, supporting male lead, etc like she is still reading a book and not living her own life.

no idea why it is a “Comedy”. I find it boring.

I have a lot of things to say. But the one I wanted to say the most is among all the transmigration novels and manhuas I've read, this work is the most realistic one.

I really love it. And these are the few reasons why:

  • All characters are not superficial at all. For example,
... more>>
Spoiler

Bai Xiangxiu (FL) was a transmigrator and in her previous life, she was just a common worker who lived a normal life. But suddenly, she was thrown into a cannon fodder's body who will die a miserable death. Of course, as someone who lived in a society where citizens were protected by law, she experienced an immense pressure and a will to survive for her family and friends waiting for her in the modern world. This made her timid and weak in the slightest situation where ML or the old madam is involved (because they were the characters who caused the original Bai Xiangxiu to die) but desperate for measures to survive. She made a lot of clumsy tactics but it also gained her good impressions from others (You will understand once you read. It's not pure luck lolol) Our FL is not the usual strong willed FLs in the transmigration novels. She hardly adapts like in etiquette, mingling with ancient people, living in a society where little importance is given to human lives etc. So she tends to misunderstand a lot of things in a good and a bad way. Because of her emotions clouding her judgment, she had a hard time to realized ML's genuine feelings for her. It's not that she was dumb and naive, she really fear her death. That's why even though personally, I got annoyed by her, it was understandable. FL's character is realistic.

Another example is Long Heng, our ML. I didn't like ML personally. He was the typical ML. Overbearing and egoistical. *Sigh* But there are few points that I'd like about him. I really like the author for this character template and background. Since ML is a competent military general, he was heartless in persecution for both males and females. He practiced equality. It's not that because he is a formidable male, he looked down on females. It's more like, because he has a lot of pride in his accomplishments, he looked down on those people who didn't have. The best example for this is when he likes FL romantically but he didn't put her in equal position as his. He took for granted that FL should just follow on his decisions. It was annoying. That's why I ship FL to Song Jiaoyue instead. The best male character of all. *Sigh*

Another point I'd liked is that, the author portrayed he was indifferent in relationship because he lived in military for a long time. It was his nature to normally talk like a superior when he talked to FL. It was a habit difficult to change. His way of thinking is so different from normal people when it comes to relationships. That's why I like the author for this. He/she didn't turn the ML into a completely different persona. The author wrote a long and arduous transformation for ML which turned for the better in the end.

[collapse]

  • This is another reason why I gave this novel a 5 star rating. Someone's nature cannot be changed casually in the name of "love" *rolls eyes* other readers complained why FL is so unlikeable but it's not really easy to change one's nature just because you have to. Or just like ML, it took him a long time to realized why he have to change. *shrugs*
These are the two points usually lacking in a lot of novels. If there are things I didn't like in the novel, or more like some things I really wished for the author to write is
Spoiler

for FL and Song Jiaoyue to be together. I'm honestly sad for this. I'd really like to see how FL will get out of her predicament just to be together with Song Jiaoyue. Most of my heartbreaks came from him. I was really expectant from this. But too bad that the author made FL and ML suitable to each other later on. With all honestly, FL and ML were not really suitable for each other at all. Just from dominant-submissive relationship that were introduced in the beginning, I see no healthy relationship for FL from being together with ML. This is depressing *sigh*

[collapse]

Another thing that I think is missing is
Spoiler

when FL didn't confront ML with the truth that she was from an another world. I was really expectant of how ML will react ever since he changed for the better. Too bad FL didn't. But I think ML already know though. He just didn't say it.

[collapse]

But this is not really enough reason for me to stop reading this. It was worth it, I promise. C: You will not regret reading it till the end of the chapters. *Thumbs up* <<less

The first part of the novel (before FL starts showing her tail) leaves me with so much angst. Like dude, how many times you keep doing thing just because you keep thinking that you’re not the FL and that you’re bound to die a year later. But then after the first part, it gets real good.

The beginning half (before chapter ~194) is the typical transmigration plot where the MC is trying to avoid the ML for dear life (and risks getting the second ML involved in a possible blood bath if the ML finds out she's trying to hug his best friend's thigh) and the latter becoming more and more interested in her because of her reactions. I did find myself getting annoyed that every 3-4 chapters, MC has an injury and the poor physician keeps making trips to diagnose not so serious problems health... more>> problems. I also thought that being scared of the ML's wrath was not an excuse to sneakily send gifts to his best friend, when the MC could have just been upfront and said: "I'm just a concubine. I want to live. Please help me." Thankfully, the second ML had a brain and rejected the MC, allowing her to kind of fall-back on the original plan, which was to not get on the ML's bad side.

The latter half when MC goes to save her man was actually really good. Her character development is truly on point and I would just say, she really rose to the occasion (whether it be recovering from giving birth and getting over her hemophobia). Her newly found confidence led her to be a really good strategist and change the tide of the war. Even though she got tortured for information to use against her man, she plotted ways to get herself out of the situation. My favorite part was the roast she gave the original FL (below is just the last but very compelling question of her amazing tirade) :
Spoiler

Chapter 204: “The question before you now isn’t ‘Are you a cheap whore?’, it’s “How much of a cheap who*e are you?”

[collapse]

There is a lot of mention of "carnal desires" and how the ML and the large cast of supporting male leads are always trying to "tumble in the sheets" with the MC and original MC. If you don't feel comfortable constantly reading about s*x then I wouldn't really recommend this novel (the details are not elaborated on but as the story progresses, the main characters just keep doing it, to the point where the MC is always stuck in bed for three days, a detail I find bizarre and also highly concerning but ok).

Overall, if you can get past the first half of the novel, the story ends pretty well! I still don't really know the history/background behind Huo'er but hey, he and his ancestors will continue to have history with the MC's family. Cool I guess. <<less

Fun, comical, and sweet. The negative reviews should not be taken in consideration for reading. It is worthwhile. The plot develops well and flows naturally. The ML is loyal to the MC and their relationship transitions from skepticism to one that is wholesome and endearing.

Spoiler

There's a happy ending as well.
