Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

Description

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

Gu Shishi, a master of traditional Chinese painting, transmigrated into the role of a cannon fodder in a cliché novel.

The cannon fodder female supporting character was switched at birth. She had barely spent a few days with her biological parents before she was tossed into the wolf’s den by those same parents. Her parents, having no heart to send their fake daughter with a heart disease to live a hard life, forced the real daughter into becoming the replacement. Gu Shishi was sent away to marry the big villain – the rumored evil, cruel, and wife-cursing first young master of the Huo’s.

On the very first day that she had transmigrated, she had to face her fated tragic death….

Luckily, she had also inadvertently discovered the path to altering her fate!

— The more gifts she received from the big villain, the longer she could live and the more cheats she would gain!

It’s a very sweet cute and fluffy novel... not much drama... it’s more of a slice of life and the novel is focusing on having the FL live a good life with the ML. All the villains gets retribution but it’s not really bringing any satisfaction because FL life is so filled with happiness already. Plus, she has no active hand in their retribution. It’s a lot of clichés and system is a god assist. Still I enjoyed the romance part.

FL is cute and a bit silly. ML is typical... more>> cold president with germophobia.

It’s a nice read to change from all those drama intense novel and it’s not too long. <<less

It was a entertaining, cliche, funny, fluffy love story.

The overall premise is well executed, all the check list was fulfilled and the result was satisfying.

The FML is a common Mary Sue, the ML is OP from the very beginning and all the villains were plain, straight-up s*upid.

I would say that the cheats the fML got were extremely unfair to all women, especially the ones for the pregnancy, but it suited the personality of the character and were mostly aimed towards getting the ML love, so they weren't infuriating imo. The... more>> system played Cupid, basically. Although it did feel uncomfortable thinking that a lot of their relationship was founded on the benefits of the system, eventually, the feelings were real.

The misunderstandings between the main couple are hilarious, and the author sometimes made the fML appear like a bimbo to appeal the ML doting side but it was still enjoyable.

A good story to pass the time and relax. <<less

General: 8.5/10

A cute, fluffy novel about transmigration and system. No dog-blood drama, enough karma coming back, happy ending and OPness. After reading I felt good, full of positivity and not much sense of a loss.

Translation: 7/10

... more>> There were some noticeable grammar errors as well as punctuation errors. If possible I would recommend the translator to edit those and it would jump straight to 10/10 as the explanations and pictures are very helpfully added to the text.

Plot:

+transmigration and system

+FL is OP (but it is not the kind where I would go wtf, just enough fluff in the novel to make it work)

+I liked the misunderstanding of the ML about the psychological state of FL

+no dog-blood, still those who were supposed to regret - regret their actions

+FL doesn't go the "I will take over the family that abandoned me and get revenge on all who are against me" route. She can be slightly rational. She can be cool with things and doesn't let her emotions control her actions when smb is not all over her

+system appears when it is needed and works really well in the novel (we do know it is there for most of the novel)

+there are funny and fluffy parts that make it an enjoyable read

+/-ML is a bit tsundere and has psychological issues. Those are solved too quick and smoothly for real world, but in this story it is acceptable (indeed, refocusing works sometimes)

-it is very optimistic and all goes smoothly. This makes it a nice read BUT beware: that is not how real life works for most people! You were warned ;)

+++I really liked reading this story and feel positive after it finished. Will add it to my "re-read in the future" list <<less

Enjoyable read! Nice ‘system’ that gives you beauty upgrades and skills. Tsundere ML who was ostracised by his close relatives for being a jinx. Sweet transmigrated FL that I think could have developed along without the fantastical elements of a system and transmigration. Too bad the often hilarious side twin characters Siyi and Siyer disappeared towards the end.

This novel plot is every girl fantasy world and men too! When a girl just can be filter ready looks and fantastic body and god level cheat to enhance your talent! And for ML the “perfect “girl who is designed from body to needs that most compatible and just for him?

From some cliche transmigrated, ceo theme plots, super rich doting husband and everyday fluff and perfect lives, I really enjoyed this novel. Lol. The chapter seem alot but actually very short. Binge read it for only 2 days. The side... more>> characters are cute and doting, the bullies become good friends, even there are some s*upid relatives, they may be braindead for awhile, but later seem to be woken up with regret. Not much dogblood or big drama. Even the face slapping were mild. Just enjoy this fantasy story with “ I wish I had that kind of golden finger system “ vibe. Thank you <<less

It was okay. A good/positive okay for me. In the early chapters, I was somewhat off with the ML because of his attitude but when I got to know his background and childhood, it made sense. The FL for me is cute. Not the fragile cute but the cute-cute. I don't know if you get it but that's just how I see her. She's talented with or without the system's power.

I think what I'm confused of til the end is how the rumors of the ML came to be. I'm... more>> not sure if I missed it or it's just not mentioned but the details about the accusations of him being cursed was not explained? It's like one day his father and grandpa died and he's automatically faulted and accused of being the jinx. And the deaths, illnesses, and even accidents after were even coincidental and or plotted. It doesn't make sense? All along I thought there was some kind of conspiracy behind it but it was never thoroughly explained. <<less

First of all, I don't think reading 20 chapters, even reading 20 chapters in Fringe or Fuyu's website gives you enough input to rate the novel so low. This novel is great. It is a little too Mary Sue and a bit narcissistic but very enjoyable. What I like is that she does not completely rely on the system. The system rewards her with skills to help her paint, but the result is not completely dependent on the system. She really has talent and passion. The system helps her by... more>> helping her visualize and transfer feelings into the paintings. And why some of the rewards are to make her more beautiful, I think it's to help her get closer to the ML. The system helped her look more delicate to help the ML empathize with her, and some scents to help him sleep.

What I like is that the system helped them get closer and they fell in love on their own. There's also a lot of face slapping but the MC is not conceited nor vengeful.

Don't get swayed by the low ratings and give this novel a try. <<less

The novel contains many issues we really detest such as toxic relationships, racism, yeah basically you can find many bad elements in the story but if you read just to escape from reality makes you give a bad review but in my view of this particular novel the translator really helps in giving out the reality we need to face.

Racism- this is common throughout the whole novel but does it affect my reading? No, it actually helped me realize that women wants to become more beautiful and men like beautiful... more>> women. However it gives us the lesson to be content of what and how we look. I'm not blaming women but also men, we as human beings love to look good at the expense of other's misery.

I may tackle a lot of the issues in the near future after many more chapters, it just seems that racism is the key issue in the novel and the comment section on fringecapybara really helps new readers to understand what is going on. So as far as those bad reviews go it just really shows how close minded they are. <<less

The novel is a little lacking with very little to no development. It's always one step forward, two steps back. It feels like the author got stuck with the tsundere character of the ML and keeps harping on that character trait. The MC also kind of feels a little flat and instead of actually interacting and communicating, she just focuses externally on surviving which stunts the couple development. The novel still has a chance to redeem itself and become better, but I'm not expecting much.
