Description

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

Cheng Yujin was the elder twin sister, who was supposed to be engaged to an excellent man. However she later learned that her fiance, Marquis Jingyong, had proposed to her because he mistakenly recognized her as her younger twin sister. Marquis Jingyong and her younger sister had a deep relationship, and after many twists and turns, finally broke through all hardships and became eternal lovers. While Cheng Yujin was the villain who replaced her sister’s good marriage, kept framing her sister, and hindered the main couple to be together. A really wicked older sister and poisonous late wife.

After the younger twin sister was reborn, she revealed Cheng Yujin’s ‘conspiracy’ early on. Everyone scorned her, and her so-called fiance was indifferent. Cheng Yujin sneered and tore off their engagement letter in front of her fiance.

Everyone was gloating and happily waiting to see her regret her actions. However, before Marquis Jingyong had a chance to see Cheng Yujin’s regret, he saw his former fiancee marrying her uncle.

The ninth uncle of Cheng family was truly a hidden dragon, his real power frightening everyone.

***

Cheng Yujin, this coquettish little wife, lightly lifted her eyebrows and casually said, “A mere Marquis Jingyong, is he worthy? Do you think that robbing him away will affect me?”

Almost forgot to say, ninth uncle wasn’t surnamed Cheng. His real name was Li Chengjing, the crown prince.

It was a beautiful story. One I read from start to finish without getting bored or impatient.

The main character wasn't Mary Sue and she had to work hard and use everything she had to not fall into an unfavourable statiotion. She isn't spiteful and revenge driven but isn't an all-forgiving saint either.

The interactions between the main character and the male lead were beautifully done. It wasn't an all-consuming love at first sight neither there was too much push and pull that tired me.

Thank you for this well written and translated... more>> story. <<less

I loved everything in this novel. I highly reccomend it!

The character development and background story of our ML and FL are quite similar. They fit each other so well that it's cute.

Out MC's personality is so realistic. She is not perfect, instead she's very hard-working, and quite accomplished. She's the best goal-achiever character you'll find. It takes her a lot of chapters to give her trust to the ML, but her independent behavior just makes you admire her more and more. She doesn't do unto others what she doesn't... more>> want done unto herself. That makes her fair, coupled with her assertive and responsible nature. And so black-bellied! She'll win you over! <<less

Really loved reading this one. The MC & ML stick to their character setting till the very end, there's no sudden ooc. The MC & ML have similar personality which I find rare, usually MC & ML have opposite personality. I found it a little funny yet sad when MC is trying hard to catch a husband but ML keeps interrupting her lol. But imo the best moments are when MC is scolding someone.

The inner courtyard and the later palace intrigue was also interesting, I didn't find myself skim reading... more>> too much.

Novel also touched a lot on the many difficulties, restrictions and double standards on women in that era which made me feel grateful I'm living in 21st century.

Translation was also not bad, there were some minor grammar mistakes and some sentences could be rewritten to flow more easily. But otherwise it's easy to read. I also appreciate TL notes on the attires and other stuff. Thank you translator for your hard work.

Story/Plot: 4

Characters : 5

Translation: 4

10/10 would recommend!!! <<less

I loved this novel, well it was common reincarnation, revenge and taking your life in your own hands type of story, but it was more enjoyable than most. I like that the FL although was nit in a favourable position at her home still knows how to act. The ML was cunning but sweet at times his background was very well laid by the author.

Her sister seriously full of heroine complex like she us noce but everyone is bad to her. I loved the fact she expressed to her previous... more>> husband that it was his duty to maintain harmony in the house as it was his mother and his wife, so he have a large responsibility, which I think is relevant. The previous husband's mother ohh my god the devil MIL.

Take a chance and read it, was very enjoyable. <<less

4 Stars

Writing/Translation: 4/5

The translation I read is from Ariel Rain. The translation is good ish. There are some careless mistakes but they don't affect the overall experience.

... more>> Pacing: 4/5

The pacing is pretty even. There was always something that soon happens and in between, the tone was kinda peaceful. The ending did feel a tad quicker than most of the story.

Plot: 3.9/5

I loved all the parts before the court or political intrigue. I was super invested in the couple's relationship and in our MC’s struggles to secure a good life. I was less interested after that but still I'm entertaining. It's just because I am not interested in political struggles lol.

Romance: 4.3/5

I quite liked it! There was no passionate stuff or anything but I was super invested haha. It's all due to the MC, really. She's rather different from other girls and it is easy to support her even though she is really not a typical good-person type of protagonist. But it's understandable for a woman of that time period. I also like that the relationship is so based on respect and maturity.

Setting/Worldbuilding: 3.8/5

A typical setting for these types of stories.

Characters: 4/5

The main characters are good. My favourite is the MC. She's so smart, hardworking and a determined perfectionist, making her the best woman of that time period. The best part for me is when she has to work a lot to achieve what she wants. Once she kind of got it and is part of the imperial family, my interest lessened though. Because she doesn't have to actively do a lot of things in each chapter anymore haha.

Personal Enjoyment: 4/5

Quite enjoyed it.

Don't know if I already reviewed this but it needs to be said! This FL is the shit! Do you want an independent FL? An FL who does not bend down (unless it's to retreat in order to advance), An FL who picks, chooses, and refuses suitors as her future husband. Then immerse yourself in this novel.

I enjoyed the story, it was quite good. I always like more logical characters and this story certainly offered them. It was quite interesting to see the author justify long dialogue through the characterization of the MC - she is wordy and must meticulously set up and control conversations. It makes for well justified, long segments of dialogue. I appreciated the author creating a logical character, yet not abandoning emotion to do so. In aspects the MC cares about, she will show emotion, even if she sacrifices everything else. In... more>> all other aspects, she is able to be cold and rational - for those with distant personalities, it is a quite reasonable stance to have. I also enjoyed how the author set up the MC's problems. To borrow a quote from somewhere, probably a YouTube video, injustice and helplessness are some of the strongest drivers of emotion in a story. This story has plenty of both. There is much injustice poured upon the MC. The circumstances of her adoption. Being stuck in the middle of conflicting branches of family. The elders who want to sell her for profit. The fiance who reneges on their marriage agreement. The list goes on. When she is faced with injustice, she is often times helpless to solve the problem completely. It really makes me, as the reader, want to cheer her on. In regards to the relationship she has with the ML, there were some parts that I disliked about him. Communication was a large part. He failed many times at this and it resulted in some situations where he became the antagonist, in a way. In that respect, the story did not delve into much detail about whether it was solved or if he improved. However, due to the setting of the story, I guess you could say that the ML was progressive for his time. Even with this one flaw, I still admire his sincerity. If I were to keep talking about the cons, I would say that this story became quite predictable around the part where the MC left her maternal home. I think the earlier parts of the story were superior to the latter parts. It's probably because I read too many similar stories, so don't be too offput by this. Overall, I would recommend this book. <<less

The story has a well balanced mix of court politics, romance and interpersonal relationships. What I liked most was that both the MC and the ML despite portraying themselves as perfect in front of everyone, their characters were flawed which made them more real and less generic like some (or many) other Mary Sue characters. Yes, they eventually achieve everything perfectly, but the effort and emotions needed to be put forth for such a perfect facade is explored well by the author. Though I would have loved to see a... more>> more detailed focus on their romance, but overall it was a good read with subtle fluff and court politics that doesn't become too much for a reader who is mostly focused on romance. <<less

I completed the novel without the extra's because I felt it ended well. Also I didn't want any side extras just in case they start discussing side relationships etc. The story was well written with enough depth that it leaves you satisfied. It is worth the read.

Worthy of my time and tears, all logic was there.. The resentment and emotional part and thinking of key character was explained really good it a bit like novel with title ''who cares'' and I really enjoy it, personally I cried at ch 8 and 108 bcs... more>>
Spoiler

I can empathize with both difficulty of our MC and her twin sister, u can't really hate her twin sister, the environment make her like that, u also can't really hate her ex-husband bcs his upbringing and environment make him think like that but in the end u blame them, cus although environment can make them like that their personality also play a big deal, her twin sister obsession or love or maybe both for mc's ex-husband make her life became tragedy, she is know the previous life went wrong but still comfort herself until reality hit her into dust, the ex-husband became aware about vague memory of previous life, but still get knot in his heart and make their married life tragedy story, our MC and ML is similar people and I feel warm and joy for their interaction and feeling for each other

I enjoyed reading this. Definitely recommend it. It's not for people who love a crowded itinerary of events tho. It focuses on the FL and ML circumstances, not their lives or even feelings, just their circumstances. What I mean by this is, unlike other novels with a similar concept, it doesn't really delve into the details of anything that happens, if we take running a business for an example, it will just mention that FL came to posses a shop, and then that's the end of it. It more focuses... more>> on the circumstances of relations and their dynamics. The bad about it is, similarly to other novels of it's type, it frames unhappiness and misfortune as a sort of mistake in the woman's behavior, when truth is, their lives are much more ruled by luck than anything. That's an entire can of worms so I won't dwell into it too deeply and just go onto the next thing. The FL doesn't really hold much emotion and there is no revenge to indulge in, but it's a pity the author didn't fully commit to that aspect of her and missed out on making this no romo in the vein of Job of an imperial concubine.

There's a handful of things some ppl won't notice and others won't care about, but there a number of tiny 'this was clearly a thought by a modern person' instances in the novel, like, the ML mentioning FL's long hair and the care of it, when men also had really long hair and had the same washing/oiling routine.

All in all an enjoyable read. <<less

I reread this 3 times! Lol, its a great read. CYJ is a real badass MC. Lol she very sharp tongue and vry deep hearted, she doesn’t have much gold finger except her ninth uncle, lol and her perfectionist side, which she horn to survive. M L also considered powerful but in a very realistic way. Both of them complement each others very much. It’s a very nice read. Thank you

A good read. However, not recommended for binging... should be read over a few days or weeks since the constant conniving and scheming gets tedious.

MC, Cheng Yugin, is 14 years old at the start of the story. She is intelligent, mature, and single minded. Through most of the plot, she is scheming to get a good marriage. The importance of marrying well is of utmost importance since her future life and happiness depends on future husband. Women are not valued in her society.

ML, Li Chengjing aka Cheng Yuanjing, is her... more>> 9th uncle but actually a prince in hiding. Only MC's grandfather knows his identity since it is hidden from the rest of the family.

Spoiler

At the beginning of the story, MC had a dream of her previous life when her husband liked her younger sister and she died during childbirth.

Later when her fiancee came to cancel their engagement, she wasn't surprised. Her younger twin sister had revealed to him that she was the one who saved him first and warmed him with her body. After she left, MC was the one who found him in a cave and brought him back. This is where the misunderstanding originated. The fiancee thought MC schemed against her sister.

So MC had no fiancee and a bad reputation due to the canceled engagement. From there, she starts plotting. She uses whoever and whatever to achieve her goals... even ML. She never considered ML as a potential husband since she finds out his identity early on.

ML falls in love with MC first.

Spoiler for later on

...

...

They do eventually get married after ML takes back his identity.

They have boy/girl twins.

ML becomes emperor after his father is poisoned. MC becomes empress. ML has only MC was his wife for the rest of their lives.

I'm not gonna give a rating because I don't think this is really my genre. But it did put Romance in genre and not just Romantic Subplot so I didn't expect so little romance, despite the slow romance tag. Unless it picks up after chapter 100..

This was about the struggles in her family and I guess palace later on but I stopped at chapter 100 so I'm not entirely sure. I really liked "Eight Treasures Trousseau" and quite a few others of supposedly the same genre but this felt really... more>> different. I wanted to skip through a lot of chapters and only read it in fear of missing out on details but it's actually really long winded. It's just weird 😂

I may come back to it later but I'll put it off for now. <<less

Honestly, I didn't expect much when I read this. Turns out it's better than what the title makes it out to be. Kudos to the translator they did a very very good job. This one is a first I read from this author, and I gotta say the novel is really good. I'm planning on read another one of their novels. I usually don't like slice of life stuff, but once it's done with a historical theme adding romsnce, it's quiet nice to read. FL, if I'm to compare her... more>> to another FL, I say she's kind of similar to Wei Luo in a sense where if someone slighted her in the past, she wont give them another chance. She will dislike them and blacklist them. FL is a prefectionist, but only ML can break that wall and make her show her ture self. One thing I wanted more of was the extended story to the extra chapter 2. That extra chapter is so good and really struck me. I liked it a lot and kind of wished there was a few more chapters describing what ML does to make FL marry him. We often don't get a romance novel with ML getting a start over chance and with that extra chapter I loved it so much. I like how it plays on the theme of no matter what life time, he will always choose her. ML is so preverted towards FL it's so funny and some of the chapters I read made my heart beat fast and my face flush red. I almost want to hit him like the FL. Please give this novel a chance. It's a nice read. Not too dark, but also not too light either. A good balance. <<less

Well at first I was very much surprised that noble lady searched through mountains for her sister while having bunch of servants. Just so you know ladies don't do that, they gave orders and wait. If we're talking about well behaved young lady. Maybe she must do everything herself. There was my thought, as I tried to explain her very strange behaviour. Such people do exist after all. But than I was slapped on face as she mocked her mother for trying to do everything herself. Along with fact that... more>> she behaves as example lady we having here very huge loophole.

So what was it? As someone who read plenty of novels I can't help but think - maybe she since very beginning had some cheats? She knew that her sister will find a very successful man and decided to steal? But first live was unsuccessful and when returned she decided to grab even better man. With her being a wife of big man there's very small possibility for her not to knew who would be emperor. So specially made show to get opportunity to knew man and than seduce him into making her empress. That jumping through the window to eavesdrop was too out of her character. Its like opportunity for them to become closer. And that man she fancied was more like a way to make him jealous and back up plan.

Hypocrite MC, ML so typical that he seems without character, idiotic family, plot so full of loopholes, that I started writing in my mind new plot just to feel in. In the end it was boring and seeing MC mocking her family for being greedy than drooling over money herself was enough for me. Hypocrites never was my cup of tea and with family all being idiots so she could shine and ML being all cold and suspicious but falling for her almost right away... Plot... Well it exists only to make MC shine, it doesn't have logic.

In short it was story I disliked everywhere, so I didn't bother to read any further. Kudos to author and translator and their talent at using words to make it interesting, at least it something you don't want to drop immediately, only when you can't bear that raising hypocrisy. <<less
