Description

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

Due to the Crown Prince of Great qi’s remark, “a calamity to the nation and a bewitching beauty,” her life, already difficult as a hostage, became even more miserable.Now, starting anew, she refuses to use charm to manipulate others. However, despite her current disguise as a man and her focus on making a living through her skills, why does the cold-faced Crown Prince claim that she has a flirtatious look, clearly wanting her to rely on her appearance? She hastily defends herself, wanting to say, “Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood.” But the Crown Prince interrupts, saying, “Enough talk;, I’ll reward you with a meal!”One sentence summary:

Female lead: “I struggled for a long time, transitioning from an expert in sweet talk to a queen.”

Male lead: “From a cold and restrained prince to a confrontational madman, I’ve fallen a long time ago.”

The FL is the princess of the small Bo Kingdom, she and her brother get sent to the mightier Empire of Daqi.

The Crown Prince of the empire declares her as an enchantress upon arrival and therefore she gets treated really badly until a general buys her and keeps her as his mistress. Later she gets killed by his wife.

After her rebirth she disguises herself as a man and tries to scheme for her home country, but more so for her brother, whom she wants to protect. In the process of... more>> this she becomes a aide to the crown prince...

The crown prince is the ML, he falls in love with "him" which makes him confused and his hilarious to read how he tries to rationalize himself.

TW: The ML can come off as pushy.

The FL is a strong character who starts to learn and stand on her own feet. This process is painful at times but is great to witness.

The ML is a typical case of - she fell first (but did she really?) and he fell harder. <<less

It’s an enjoyable read for those who are into the cloak and daggers type of theme. Palace intrigues and the difficulties of how to balance power is the very reason why the ML and FL took awhile to be together. The romance is good despite the many twist and turns (i love how the ML remains faithful to the FL all throughout) the ending is satisfying for me.

‎I love this!! Love the dynamics. Love the FL pretending to be a man and ML having that being gay phase until he found out she is a woman.

‎... more>>
Spoiler

‎i dont like the MLs attitude of seeing FL as his belonging. Like its obvious he likes her as in he's thinking of ways to show favor and to spoil her and all, but he has this mindset that, she's already mine so she should just stay indoors and take care of their (future) child. Knowing that FL obviously doesn't like being held down to one place (unless she feel extremely secured), that mindset is a bit meh for me. I know ML grew up in the same situation with the fl, lacking parental care and love, which is probably the reason to how he thinks about and sees people. But his superiority mindset irks me from time to time. Its not too extreme but its definitely there.

‎

‎Good news is that there is character development for the main couple! At the latter part of the story when Jiang Xiurun officially went back to their homeland and became the empress, is the start of their character developments. Jiang Xiurun went from being submissive and obeying every whim of the ML, and Feng Liwu from his superiority complex to being more considerate about FLs feelings and thoughts. His superiority is still there, but it dimmed a bit to the point that he's really just devoted to the FL and would do anything so that she wouldn't be mad at him anymore.

‎

‎Actually reminds me of this one chinese novel, "My Darling, Coax Me" that has the same servant FL x prince ML dynamic. The FL was actually so very smart but was also pretending to be submissive for survival, and the ML started off despising her simply because she's a servant, and he kind of has a childhood trauma of servants so there's that. It also has that FL running away phase and ML realizing his feelings and chasing after her. They also had character developments where the FL stopped pretending and the ML took a while to get used to that side of her because again he did have that superior mindset and was not used to being talked down by anyone else.

‎

‎Also, I love the gender bender FL! I love when they pretend to be a man and the ML has that phase when they're in denial of being gay XD.

‎

[collapse]

‎Long story short, this is another hidden gem for me! I would have loved more of the children though, and I think the ending was way rushed than how it should be. At this point I think that's just a thing with most chinese novels, having their endings rushed like that which is sad because the stories itself were actually pretty good.
