An edict bestowed marriage.

A noble daughter with three strikes: no talent, no looks, no virtue.

A tr*sh wangye – disfigured, disabled, seriously ill.

Bridal veil down–she wore a shallow smile. Leisurely and calm. Having experienced life and death, she only wanted to lead a quiet life.

Going up to the wedding hall–he had a slight smile on his face; a heart as cold as ice. He suffered all kinds of humiliation, but there will be a day when he will stand above all beneath the heavens.

–He is my husband. To bully him is to bully me. To insult him is to insult me. To hurt him is to hurt me. If someone were to hurt me, I would have to get to rid of them!

–Benwang doesn’t believe in supernatural beings and doesn’t seek heaven. If she were to die, benwang would turn this entire world into purgatory and sacrifice this whole country to her!

With this novel I lost sleep, I had dark circles under my eyes, I cried when all of Qin li was exterminated and I laughed with the couple's eldest son. There are annoying things like the ex-fiancé's ridiculous insistence, but nothing that gets in the way of reading. I strongly recommend it. Now that I know there will be drama in this novel I'm even happier.

This novel is carefully written and poorly translated. For example,

"She was the daughter of the emperor's biaomei Zhao Ren Chang gongzhu, Zhao Yang Chang gongzhu's niece Rong Hua junzhu... Ye Li would definitely report to fuqin and muqin. By that time, we would make a special trip to go to the gongzhu fu to beg for forgiveness from junzhu, gongzhu, and fuma."

The entire text of the first thirty chapters or so is like that, sheer gibberish. I wonder, if the translator was able to translate words such as daughter, niece and emperor, not leaving them in pinyin, why not translate the rest of them?

Naimena wrote such a comprehensive review that I have little to add to it.

It's about a special forces soldier who died in the line of duty and then was reborn as a Chinese official's daughter who marries a Chinese prince. It's a story of an arranged marriage where the couple not just falls in love, but becomes brothers in arms.

They marry in ch.53 (ch.60 in this translation). It's a sad event and it does not make them husband and wife.

The girl was first engaged to the emperor's brother but he used his position and robbed her of many goods from her antiques store and then dumped her marrying her younger sister instead. The FL, very inconspicuous until then, begins to act and show her hand by making him (along with her dad's favorite concubine) pay for the stolen goods and distributes that money among other little girls in the family, all of them penniless daughters of concubines, as part of their future dowries.

Recommended if you like to read about female soldiers with cool personalities and great military acumen, harems and state politics. <<less

About the first translation work: Thank you for the translator for your efforts. However, putting a lot of pinyin characters in the novel followed by its meaning in parentheses just defeats the purpose of translating it. I wanted to read the English version of the story, but seeing a lot of untranslated words in the story is just distracting. Some of the words could have been directly translated too.
About the second translation work: This one is so easy to understand. I enjoyed reading it.

Story-wise, it is packed with military content and imperial conspiracies. It's a little heavy so I don't recommend this if you want a novel with fluff and happy vibes. After 100 chapters, I have not seen yandere stuff from ML. The romance is slow and almost non existent for the first 100 chapters. They're more like work buddies. I'll drop this for now because I'm craving for fluff.

A hidden gem imo.

MC is cool headed and makes the best out of the situation. She spent her early life living like a retired veteran. People around her are jealous of her position and tries to make things difficult for her which she can't care about. Later she does what's needed to be done. She's a badass woman.

ML is a gentleman who used to be a perfect specimen like every other ML of other novels but after getting ambushed by enemies and getting crippled the ML is not so perfect.... more>> He has his own problems and responsibilities. He also respects the privacy of his wife.

They started as a pair of untalented woman and a crippled man but came to learn about each other and have a mutual respect. They both know they're couple already so instead of acting aloof they try to get along and are slowly falling in love with each other. Their relationship might not appear hot-blooded but they care about each other. MC shoulders his problems because she knows they're together and ML is willing to share his burden with her because he knows his wife is capable enough. A gentle relationship very pleasing to read.

The novel has been picked up by multiple translators. The first thirty or so chapters have heavy usage of pinyin and later chapters are completely translated in english. <<less

I won't give stars yet (or so I thought) because I still have a lot to read. However I am finding this task extremely difficult by the way it has been translated. I can't understand the intention of the translator, they say they are keeping the original text for easier translation but having to include parentheses and glossaries seems more laborious to me? I really want to follow this story but the reading is very tiring and I don't know if I can continue.

The MC is calm, serene and elegant but has a hidden intelligent and crafty mind who just wants to live a comfortable and peaceful life and who has transmigrated from the modern world. But when push comes to shove she doesn't hesitate to fight back. It's compact, not abusive, and super sweet, this is the only novel that I have read more than three times.

Strong and eloquent female lead that nobody can push around. Nice pacing to the story. Great translator.

... more>>
Spoiler

Even though the male lead finally appeared in front of the female lead in chapter 30 (at the very end of the chapter). At the very least his appearance was due to saving the female lead from her ex-fiancée. The ex-fiancée is such a narcissist, thinking that the female lead like him, he cheats on the newly engaged female lead step sister with another women already. Just why would the female lead want such a narcissist and player. Though it not that rare have many wife in the ancient times. But he is not even marry to either the step-sister or the other women (yet). Just because the female lead tells him to go check with a doctor because he being narcissistic and delusional with thinking that she like him, he actually dare to try to grab the female lead, in front of everybody. Thankfully the male lead made it in time (though it possible that he was watching what was happening this whole time, and probably the female lead could have possibly taken care of it herself).

The leads already seems agreeable, since they are both eloquent and smart on how to deal with the antagonists. <<less

Honestly this work is probably the best CN that I’ve read (so far) which develops its characters properly. And not just the main characters and second fiddles, but all of them. The author did not forget to close the character development holes that I even forgot existed. Really well done.

This started as a nice well paced drama, but slowed to a crawl. The translation makes it very hard to follow. The constant Chinese words used mean needing to repetitively see what words mean instead of simplifying titles to figure out characters. Overall a low rating due to this typical yet slowed plot and poor translation.

When first reading, there's a feeling this would be similar to 8TT and TBAVW. However, this far, the feeling already evaporated into nothingness. 8TT and TBAVW started out, went on, and ended as a rather calm affair, more thanks to the author's writing style than the plot. This story started out almost promisingly, but well, in the current chapter, it isn't so. It fell into another OP badass martial arts female transmigrated heroine, but far more decent than your typical found that has like 1000 duplicates in NU.

A reviewer said... more>> there wasn't a misunderstanding, but there is. The difference is that they didn't fight or drama over it. But they also didn't address or communicate it. Then MC went away and the whole thing just kind of pushed into the closet in favor of a completely whole new conflict. The story shifted from a couple's get along to the world's matters in the current chapters.

The translation didn't help much. It does update frequently but like most of past time novels here, they posted only a half or a quarter of the original chapter, and if the chapter was crazily long like Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife, it would be fine. But here, it isn't as crazily long. So the updated chapters ended in odd cuts, obviously incomplete, not even a cliffhanger, just a really rough and bad cut, and it failed to built proper momentum that made me personally lost drive to read further.

Also, the fact that I was lured to read by Male Yandere tag and the promise of 8TT&TBAVW nuance that apparently, so far, cannot be seen even the slightest resemblance, just made me didn't want to read anymore.

P.s. Read Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife instead. They handled the political strife and conflict better than this one. (The summary isn't promising but I promise, that story's quality can be compared to 8TT although the two are in a completely different vein of story). <<less

I agree that this is a good novel, but I'm dropping this.. It's just boring..

there is no sense of Adventure or excitement..

It's just there, it's just talks and talks and talks. Everyone is talking all the time but without an actual fun..

One of the best novel with F. Protagonist who is not unreasonable. The MC knows when to to push or pull. She is not a killing psycho like other bg novel romance nor a damsel in distress. She could ignore who badmouthed her and could retaliate and protect herself well. Also, one of the novel in which the MC is not overpowered by ML. Bcoz the usual bg romance has always the ML to rescue the MC every time. For the ML, I feel bad about his past and his physical condition. I could emphatize his securities. Good thing, he is paired with a reliable MC.

Completed the story 2yrs ago but I forgot some scenes, so rereading it again c227

It's translate well written well. Nice story. Yes the heroin transmigration to useless body. I like it because even she have meet the Hero she still keep he character that can solve the problem by her own. An the hero just let her do her own way.

The best part is cousin brother who love to pampered her.

One of my favorites to read! Love the steady description and the writing and translations are done well. Nothing feels overly wordy - it's just right. I'm really enjoying the sense of political complications and the rivalry between siblings. Definitely up there for me, right next to my other fave stories (Unruly Phoenix Xiaoyao, Return of the Swallow, Shen Yi Di Nu, Rebirth of Malicious Empress of Military Lineage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, and Transmigrator meets Reincarnator).

A good solid novel, which is, regretfully, hard to comprehend through MTL.

Although at some moments characters feel too OP, the progression of weak-to-strong is not a main point of the story, so it's easy to let it slide. Plus, most of the times author makes sure to explain how heroes were able to overpower villains, and the explanation makes sense. There are no quick cheats to power and wealth (but most of the progress is hidden in the background, because, again, it's not the main point.)

I also rather appreciate... more>> having a believable villains, especially the

turntables like shift with the villainous ex-fiance, who was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and how both he and protagonists repeatedly underestimated each other. I really liked the part after kidnapping, that was rather unexpected to me.

A very, very slow burn! C79, and the deep earth-shattering love is nowhere in sight (but since it's a 1000+ chapters story, I rather appreciate it). So, be careful getting into it. <<less

Some of the drama were so unnecessary you can only roll your eyes and pray that it ended next chapter. Also, I started to dislike where the story (and the MC) is going by the time I wrote this review. I swear it's like an unnecessarily roundabout way of the author to lenghten the story and 'brew' feelings between the main pairing even though they've started to trust each other. The pace was going so well until two-third of the story and suddenly the readers are thrown into a tizzy... more>> because the MC awakened her heroic nationalism spirit and went to the la-la land without the ML.

Goddamnit.

At first the MC is portrayed as this special force lady who transmigrated and wanted to live peacefully in an ancient drama world and heck yeah, I dig that because finally, I thought I was reading about an ancient court drama with a strong and witty MC who wouldn't let anyone step on her. And yes, I was reading something about that until two-third part of this novel turned into a messy mush until I couldn't recognize who the heck am I reading about. The arc about other nations and neighboring wars was so unnecessarily meh but that's only my opinion because I don't care about them. <<less

Very good novel. I especially like the MC. Shes not a "mary sue" character. She fights for what she haves using her intellect and keen understanding of human psychology. She was a member of the special forces in her last life and she could just have had been a leisurely, gentle wife in the next if she did not take up her weapon and followed her huaband to the battlefield.

She is one of the best MC I have read about especially in CN where everybody's OP. She is different in... more>> a sense and that's what makes the readers not drop this novel at all. The ML is steadfast in his actions tho. He became a huge vinegar tank after the

I wasn't keen on reading this novel at first due to the amount of chapters being translated is less than 50 chapters. But after running out of novels to read I came here and god it was goooooddddd. The MC isn't too OP (i.e: she does not knows everything like most MC do. For eg: she's not really good in playing zither and she is not the top beauty). The ML too has his own flaws like he's not super handsome due to his scars. (I find this novel... more>> is a more down to earth)

Overall, it's good to read just that I don't really enjoy the translation using pinyin term too much making me referring back and forth. <<less

It seems promising so far. I love calm female leads. Living an idle life is best! I'll be rooting for her to do just that.

Thank you for the translator's hard work in translating so far. The translation flows smoothly and is actually very readable, which is quite rare for new translators.
