In the first arc, the ML is a corrupt magistrate. FL tries to make him change but when he refuses, FL just takes things into her own hands and uses her own dowry to save people. She doesn't care about the mission, she just thinks "even if I fail to change him, at least I've saved others". Which is why I like her. She doesn't just stick to the mission but genuinely wants to help and make things better. I really enjoyed the first arc which had enough drama to entertain me and some faceslapping too. Romance is sweet and very natural. They don't fall for each other immediately but learn to care for one another.

ML is the illegitimate son of a rich family and mistreated and aims for revenge. FL is tasked to make sure he doesn't go down the wrong road and mu*der people. They start off as University students and she slowly gets to know him. She wants ML to know that there's other ways other than just killing people. The second arc solidified my love for the FL! She stands up for herself and doesn't take the ML's shit. When ML is being dumb and doing things "for her own good", FL confronts him about it. She doesn't let the romance blind her too and knows to think about things before accepting the ML's love. When ML screws up later, she stands her ground and ML works hard to earn her trust again. This arc has some faceslapping and revenge theme alongside a wife-chasing crematorium trope.

3rd arc is a bit weak imo. It's about the war era with China against Japan. This arc is a bit shorter with FL again trying to change ML from being a traitor to the country. This arc has a bit more drama related to love misunderstandings. FL's plan to ensure ML doesn't become a traitor is to fake her death, pretending to be killed by the enemy. ML does not become a traitor and later managed to rise up the ranks again while FL is still hiding away. Later she finds him again but there's another woman by his side, that woman tells FL that she's ML's new fiancé. FL is devastated thinking ML has moved on. But the woman is actually lying. It ends with a happy ending anyway but this arc was more on misunderstandings.

ML is a power-hungry eunuch who wants to take over the throne. There's a lot of political intrigue in this one but FL is not really involved. FL is like a canary in a cage unable to do much, in the end when she's near death only does the ML change. Most of the time it's about her trying to coax the ML not to do evil deeds, her trying to please the ML and the ML being stubborn as heck. This arc was not really that great imo. Felt FL was boring too.

FL is part of the disabled husband and wife pair. The husband coaxes her to have a threesome relationship with the man called Changgen. Zhang Dayou is her husband. Initially FL refuses, as in the original novel when the original host takes in Changgen as the third party, the husband recovers after using Changgen's money for surgery. The original host was pregnant with Changgen's baby at the time and killed them both. The Bodhisattva felt sad for the man consumed with hatred and asked FL to change his fate. Unfortunately FL couldn't change much and still had to marry Changgen. The end for this story is that Dayou left the pair and married another woman but he has a BE in the end too anyway while FL and Changgen will have a HE. This story is a bit weird but since it's a new premise to me I read it to the end.

This one is about the FL and ML who each got dumped by their respective other halves right in front of the marriage center while they were waiting. FL and ML then decided to get hitched to each other. ML is bankrupt due to poor investment decisions by his father while FL is just a average salary worker with a lovebrain towards her ex. In this story, ori host supposedly married the ML but later cheated on him with her ex. ML got angry and killed them both. So this arc FL is determined to just stay with ML. You'd think that it'll be a normal modern romance but mygod there is a lot of misunderstanding drama in this one. I feel like the author like to use s*umbag exes in her stories.

This particular one was rather irritating because the ML had really low self esteem so he kept doubting FL. FL was forgiving till at one point when the ML just wanted a divorce without letting her have a chance to find out the truth about a scandal. I like the part where she decisively left and he had to prove his worth before she forgave him. A few great wife chasing crematorium chapters.

FL was a bully who bought s*ave ML. Had to change herself bit by bit. This one had a mix of tropes. Rags to riches and then ML revealed to be son of a minister mistakenly accused of being a traitor and killed. Once they go to the capital it was about family drama. All the three sons who were exiled to become s*aves came back again with commoner wives that they found while being s*aves.

The matriarch disliked the poor backgrounds of the wives. The two other brothers of the ML who tried to get a better life by marrying rich commoner wives disliked their commoner wives too as now they want to marry better ranking women who can help them in their career. The first son even had a child with his commoner wife but later on just made her become a concubine. The second son married a super rich wife (a merchant who is despised during that time as low ranking). Later on he even drives her to su*cide. Third son, who is the ML refuses and stays with FL. Basically a lot of drama about that. I do wish there was more faceslapping towards the two cowardly men but there isn't any.

The story will just end in a HE for the main couple as they stayed together through thick and thin.

FL starts this one by being a little mean imo. In order to get to know the ML, she uses a bystander as bait lmao and that person got beaten up by the ML. This one started very sweet like a normal modern romance story before becoming super dark involving mu*ders and su*cide.

FL was meant to change the ML so that he doesn't become a gangster who kills of the mu*derer of his brother and family. FL thought she manages to change things but things spiralled badly really quickly. This arc was really great to read. I was hooked. A HE for the main couple.

In this arc, FL is an ugly fat girl. Over 200kg if I'm not mistaken. She comes from a good family and her sister is the fiance of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is high ranking, so her sister only needs to marry 1 husband. Sister can take concubines but the Crown Prince is against that. FL is known as the ugliest girl in the Capital and ML is also a fat big guy who is known as the ugliest man in the Capital. FL actually wants to protect ML who will eventually get spurned by the one he likes in the original novel and will die. So in this world, FL cares for the ML.. ML obviously falls for FL. ML wants to get married to FL but there are A LOT of obstacles. A lot of people are against their marriage and many things happen in this arc that are high tension. I was so invested in this arc. It was SO GOOD.

Some interesting paragraphs from the arc:

"There are more men than women in this world. Women are destined to have many men when they are born. Their bodies are also different from those of women in other worlds. In this world, after women gradually become more knowledgeable, they will gradually desire men.

Men also have desires, but in a world where there are more men than women, in order to better choose a mate, they must remain loyal. Before marriage, they will apply c*astity ink and wear c*astity locks. On the wedding night, the wife will personally open the lock for him, and the two will spend their wedding night together."

c*astity LOCKS LMAO.

I skipped most of it because I didn't like the premise. FL is ab*sed and almost beaten to death by a man who bought her. The ML saves her by buying her off the first husband. In the original story, the original host will marry the ML, give birth to a son but run away a few years after that, accidentally killing his mother. ML will get revenge by poisoning original host + lover's new restaurant and kill several people.

This time FL's brain seems a bit weird. She's like, "Oh then I won't marry the ML" so it won't be like the novel. She says that sometimes whatever she does to change the ending of the ML, sometimes it doesn't go her way so this time she's determined to separate with the ML. And she only realizes she can change things when ML chases after her just as she's about to leave him. Not my cup of tea. This story is more on rags to riches trope.

She loves to watch s*aves fight each other and basically loves violence and chaos. In this world, the Prince of another country slept with a prostitute who got pregnant with ML. ML and his mother were abandoned due to their low status. After ML grew up, ML ends up in FL's mansion to become one of those s*aves she tortures for fun. In the original plot, ML will go back to his country and become the Emperor. After he becomes the Emperor, he will invade the oriFL's country and kill a lot of people. He even brings back the oriFL and marries her. When the oriFL tries to escape, he will give her a Gu and turn her into a Living Dead.

So when the FL first transmigrates over, she's humiliating the ML. FL is shocked and attempts to stop it. FL then decides she wants nothing to do with this yandere ML. But the ML keeps coming back to the FL's mansion for work. It's because his mother is really sick and he needs the money. FL thinks that ML is a masochist because he's being willingly tortured by her and she's so afraid of his retaliation.

Basically there are a lot of misunderstandings between them and FL is so hot-and-cold towards ML. I got super frustrated in this arc. It could've been great but FL lost her IQ.

FL is from a poor single parent family and was sponsored by a person to go to school. That person ends up being the ML. In the original plot, when oriFL starts working, the benefactor calls and asks for some money to loan. oriFL refuses, and the next day, she finds out that the benefactor committed su*cide.

So when FL transmigrated over, she gets to know the benefactor aka ML. ML works as a state governor and is a bigshot. She doesn't know why ML committed su*cide and thinks its because he's a corrupt governor and now she sneaks to his house to check for corruption. The way she sneaks around is very ridiculous tbh. She tries to stay overnight at his house, and ML thinks FL is coming onto him. But when he goes close to her for s**, FL shies away and becomes awkward. Luckily the misunderstandings are resolved fairly quickly compared to the other arcs.

Anyway, later we find out that ML is a dragon. And he has to die to save the people. FL couldn't stop the death but something else happens that saves the ML. In the end, this arc is a fairly okay modern romance story with a supernatural twist.

oriFL is the daughter of a family of Generals, and marries a scholar who promised her he wouldn't take in concubines. But when her family is in decline, the husband changes his mind and takes in a concubine. The oriFL was sent to a remote temple when she makes a fuss and FL transmigrated just as oriFL was trying to kill herself.

FL will encounter the ML who has some weird poisoning problem here in the remote area. ML will go berserk and kill indiscriminately. FL will have some special technique learnt from the previous world to help the ML.

FL has a ambiguous relationship with ML here. She sent a divorce letter to the husband but the husband never responds. And yet the FL sleeps with the ML and thinks ML will marry her. Later on she finds out ML cannot marry her as his main wife, just as a concubine as he still needs to consolidate his power. FL is furious and leaves.

When she leaves, ML finds out she's still actually married!! Some drama happens where her husband doesn't want to divorce her and ML actually sneaks to her room while husband is outside and forces FL to have s** with him. UGH. Hate this part.

Later on, more drama happens and I feel so bad for this side character that FL uses. A good man falls for the FL. At this point FL is already divorced but doesn't go back to the ML since ML can't promise her a monogamous relationship. This good man is so in love with FL that he's going against his family just to marry a divorced woman home. Anyway, just know that it is A LOT of drama. I hated the FL in this arc cause she seems to be playing with a lot of people's feelings.

FL is a deposed prince and ML is the prostitute she claimed previously, who goes back to the brothel to earn money to help FL recover. Later on FL is reinstated as a prince and she will do several things to gain achievement so that she can marry ML as her legal husband. ML has low self esteem in this one as he originally was a prostitute. It's a pretty standard romance in ancient times story with the reversed gender roles.

In the ascension realm where she's a GODDESS. Turns out she sacrificed herself to be reborn as a human to stop the Demon Lord from gaining power. The Demon Lord who is the ML gains power from resentment, so he suffers through countless reincarnations where he is betrayed by family/friends/world and gains resentment.

Now that FL has removed all the resentment through her actions, ML is greatly weakened. But he's still strong and the Gods of the realm still want to seal him away. Anyway, later on FL will go find the ML to ask him for a truce and ML will refuse. FL will become his maid as a bet. If she manages to stay in the Demon realm and do well, ML will make a truce with Gods.

ML will eventually accept her again and it's a HE.
