First sentence that said he had been r*ped and I dropped it immediately. Especially cause the author literally rubs it into his face, like what? What do you mean someone says to him "I'll walk you home cause it's easy to get r*ped here" then next sentence tell us he's already been r*ped? Like what a d*ck move to rub it in his face like that! I thought that would be foreshadowing but nope, dudes already been r*ped. I hoped he would get better but unfortunately the reviews say otherwise.

Shen Anxin—I am so incredibly upset at how his character was treated. He is initially introduced as a mentally strong, physically delicate ger (opposite of ML) who simultaneously opposes and complies to the social standards. He runs a business despite being looked down upon by his competitors but, as he was secretly raised by his mother, he still wishes for a husband to treat him well. 'That's cool, ' I think, 'I wanna see more of that.' He sees how MC treats ML and envies that. 'Understandable.' Then Shen Anxin starts to plot revenge? He even tries to confess to MC because "he's better in every way compared to ML." 'Wtf.' Of course, MC rejected him, but in a really harsh way that I think was unwarranted (though I like his show of loyalty).

His (Shen Anxin's) character becomes increasingly shallow and irritating for no reason at all. It's infuriating. If his personality was set up to be this kind of green tea bit*h who wants to get in the way of married men, I'd forgive and maybe even enjoy him getting face-slapped and rejected so hard. But the r*pe, which is entirely unnecessary and I am still upset about that (¬､¬), and his sudden complete switch in attitude rubs me as the author wanting a "more serious" love rival for ML, maybe to set up some kind of character development. It's bullshit. I'm entirely uncomfortable with r*pe and/or s*xual assault and I abhor any piece of media that inserts it for the sake of a shitty plot point. Such as making a perfectly good character a villain. For what?

The "foreshadowing" the author mentioned to justify said plot point was so amateurish. If things were set up differently, like having a character to contrast Shen Anxin's selfishness and naivety or even Shen Anxin himself being a bit more b*tchy at the start, though it wouldn't validate the whole r*pe plot point, it would at least give him some characterized incentive (that didn't come out of a nonsense unreciprocated romance subplot) to become a minor villain. Instead, because the author wanted to include the very tropes the novel seems to avoid and actively subvert, he turns into wasted potential I'm still upset for. I give this category 1 star for Shen Anxin and 0.5 for the vain effort.

First, the MC transmigrates into a a dull situation - mud houses, no plumbing, you know, sucks. And his wife has some serious self esteem issues, like he's always all about how to keep all these skanks off my man - to the point that he locks up some women and gers who were recently rescued from people who ens*aved and r*ped them in the backyard, away from his man. Because he's not just 'ugly' outside, but inside as well.

It supposedly gets worse as the MC becomes a tyrant, so I'm not sticking with it. Not fun world, boring protagonists.

It shows the original Jiang ZhenWei reincarnating in the future. The original Jiang ZhenWei has psychological trauma due to the mistreatment caused by the Jiang family.

The final chapters show how his new life was. He was very loved by his parents, relatives and wife!

I read it crying. I spent the whole novel feeling very sorry for him! Finally, he can be happy and loved.

The original Jiang ZhenWei is a character who has suffered a lot. He deserves all the love in the world.

How the MC fights for the rights of women and Gers. He always thinks about building a place where his daughter and ML can live without being intimidated and underestimated.

MC had to flee with his family to a neighboring country where they become the rulers. ML finally had all the freedom to make big changes to society.

except he separated from Jiang family and finally go outside the village to do some smol business, then returned to propose to Zhao Jinge. Former 2 can be done in the first few chaps but author decided it is wise to drag it to chap40-ish.

He had the gut to carve out his cinnabar mole tho, prolly that gut used up a lifetime of his courage that he lose his spine
