Poison Genius Consort

Description

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

Easily cowed and bullied, she was the useless, ugly woman with no talent in medical skills. Supported by millions, he was Tianning’s most respected duke with the power to move all under Heaven. On their wedding day the bridal sedan was carried to the front doors, but the Duke of Qin’s gates were shut tight.

They told her, ‘Come back tomorrow.’

All alone, she walked step-by-step full of pride through the duke’s doors. Little could they imagine, this unattractive good-for-nothing was a beautiful, genius doctor of poisons!

After transmigrating to the past, poisons expert Han Yunxi finds herself on the verge of being married off to the country’s second most powerful man, the Duke of Qin. Her future life seems set–except her husband is an unfeeling ice block, her in-laws think she’s a eyesore, the empress dowager wants to use her for her own goals, and poison-related plots abound.

Alone, the intelligent (and sensible) Yunxi must carve her own space from the intricate web of court intrigue and the jianghu, relying on her words, wits, and wisdom to survive. Adapt when necessary, use force when required; to survive and thrive is the name of the game to a prosperous life.

No matter what, she’ll prove her right to live!

I never really leave reviews on Novel Updates, but I need to this time.

Oh My God, the ML is completely, irrevocably insufferable. The romance is slow burn. Which is NORMALLY okay. But there's no romance to speak of! The MC is essentially being emotionally ab*sed. Not by ML, but everyone. She spends her efforts healing people, and then all she'd get is entrapments, schemes and one obstacle after another. She is suppose to be this genius self-independent woman, but honestly I really feel pity on her behalf. Her life is... more>> essentially one trouble after another. If you're looking for a dog-blooded, ab*se melodrama-esque novel, maybe this one is for you. I personally want to strangle the ML. The MC would be so much better with any other second male lead.

The only 2 stars is for the translator who did an amazing job translating. Otherwise, the novel is a torturous read. And not a good Dostoevsky kind, but absolutely painful. I see no redemption or groveling from the ML. There's also this second women insinuation, where he ignores MC for his junior sister. Like I get it you have to keep the JS safe till she's 18, but that by no means justify you not respecting and ignoring your wife. He didn't even flinch when the JS bullied the MC. The story would be a 4 star read, if the ML was not the ML. At this point, I'll be doing an injustice to myself if I keep reading this. God pity those who want to finish this story. Peace.

PS - Kudos to the translator though. They did an amazing job. <<less

I won’t say much, just 20 chapters and it’s already frustrating, the side characters are way too annoying I wanted to burn them all

it’s not that there aren’t such characters in other novels, but they are way too brainless!!!!!!!

The general’s son is dying and he argues with her (MC) instead of worrying about his son and let’s not talk about that dudes sister, she’s way too brain less not to mention the adopted sister of the ML 😭

may be I’m frustrated for nothing but it irked me so much

Holy crap! Is the FL a masochist, like nobody should be this much of a pushover. Save yourself some heartache and go read a better novel.

... more>>
Spoiler

Alright, I haven't finished the novel, and I really don't think I have it in me, honestly. Overall, the FL is a masochist, she was this brilliant doctor who, I am guessing, specialized in toxicology, but the authors seem to have ignored that profession. Upon reincarnating, she is blatantly ignored, which any person would have just fled to a new country. Does she? Nah, she decides to stay and get ab*sed, despite having a lot of knowledge about poisons, especially the undetectable ones.

For example, the princess literally tortures her, and she just gives her ringworms and treats her later, like what the actual f**k! Look, I don't really like novels with senseless killings, but this is going overboard. Ugh, don't even get me started on the tsundere known as the ML. The royal family, except for the crown princess, are terrible people, and if I were in her position, I may have poisoned the entire palace and fled to a new country.

I love this novel and truly enjoy all plots during lockdown. I wish the translation was completed or at least progressing regularly so I can finish all plots :) Great translation BTW!

I wanted to give 5, but I don't know what happen and it became 2. Tried to edit but nothing change. Will try again later. I have read quite a lot web novel, but I must say this is my favourite. I love all the story arcs, the MC coldness and ruthlessness, HYX resourcefulness. I especially love the built up to the tender moments between the two leads. People who loves fast paced plots/ relationships might find this story boring (at first), but give it a chance at least until... more>> chapter 200, you will change your mind. This web novel was beautifully written, and is eloquently translated by Ruyi. Up until chapter 750, I had already cried 3 times, it is a testament of how Ruyi really does a good job translating the emotions in the original story.

The only complaint I have is, the translating is still quite a long way to go. But something worth having, in this case reading?, is worth waiting for. <<less
