Description

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

Jiang Zhen crossed into ancient times and became the old bachelor eldest Jiang who was neglected by his whole family in Hexi Village.

He was born into a good family, but the eldest Jiang was busy all year and couldn’t even eat a full meal. His two younger brothers could marry a wife, but he was starved to death… Jiang Zhen felt it was unbearable.

You don’t want to feed me? OK, I will kill the chicken myself.

You don’t even give me a glimpse of food? It doesn’t matter, the door of the granary will be opened as soon as I kick it.

You want to tell me that I am unfilial? Ok, I will immediately take the knife to the village and slash people, and let the yamen officer catch all of us.

Jiang Zhen became a local tyrant in the village. He also saw the “ugly” ger who could not get married in the village.

Future father-in-law: “Jiang Zhen is always wandering around our house. Is he planning to rob our house?”

The future mother-in-law: “What to do? Jinge can’t beat him!”

Zhao Jinge’s face was hot… Dad, the wild rabbit that I brought back today is what he gave…

I did enjoy this story quite a bit. I also skipped any parts that bored me or the whole first arc with the imperial envoy cause it was s*upid.

But I am also quite biased towards Japan 😂 I love Japan so I don’t like the way it was portrayed here but meh whatever I just ignored it and finished the story.

I would have liked it a lot more if it focused more on raising the children towards the end rather than the ramped up drama

Inspite of some leaps of logic, I like the story very much

BUT

I agree with this other reviewer... The author could have stopped the story just about anywhere if they didn't want to continue, instead of tagging on that absurd ending chock full o xenophobia. As the MC is a modern proponent of human rights, equal treatment of genders in particular, the xenophobia stings pretty hard. ... more>>
Spoiler

I'd recommend that you stop reading when the MC comes back from the sea. Unless you want to see a man who "is not very good at management" and only has modern knowledge plus military experience go from sea merchant to establishing a country in the span of less than a decade. And don't mind reading some sh***y commentary.

[collapse]

However the last chapter is very warm and still worth it. <<less

I finished this novel a while ago, and it has been such a comforting read for me. I think I read it several times already while waiting for the translation 😂

Some aspect may be exaggerated. For example like how the MC are able to make such a huge sum of money by selling seafood. In reality it doesnt make sense, so please lower your expectations a little bit on that part.

All in all, I give this 5/5

The author’s book is always good. But this is one of my favorite. The MC is the gong, super pe*vert and violent (in a good way). Our ML is the shou, very cute and shy, but strong enough to learn how to get rid of his inferiority for him standing proudly beside his husband and giving his best (including cooperating with our MC’s pe*verted behavior 🤣) to MC.

MC is ex special army who transmigrated into the world where men, women, and ger living. The original body was depressed and died... more>> from mental ab*se from his parent. Once MC taking over the body, he teach good lesson to those who wronged him and separated from his cancerous family. Our cute ML is a ger who decide to live as a man, supporting his old parent to live, giving up his dream of marriage because he was too macho according to ger’s beauty standard in this world. Never he imagine in the first place that this macho appearance (and his kind nature) was the one who make our shameless MC pursue him. It cracks me up when reading how our shameless MC keep eating his tofu when pursue him. Later on our MC keep getting strong and stronger to protect him and his beloved. This is a journey of a man who strive for the best things he could give to protect his family.

The story is funny, the face slapping is good, the girls was not painted as all evil (like in few bad BL novel).. Overall I will give this 4, 5 rating. <<less

I actually like a lot of the story. I like that Jiang Zhen is very loyal and attentive towards his family and a very straightforward and upright when it comes to his employees. Zhao Liu is pretty funny as a character for me. I think I had a lot more to say about the novel but rn it's just shrouded by my feelings towards how the author handled Shen Anxiu's character and what was done to him after because of that Feng bastard. He would have been a great character... more>> to develop and may have even been a good friend to Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge. Maybe even an uncle to little Mingzhu. But the potential there was totally wasted. I'm gonna put this story down for now... Might come back to it later idk... <<less

I had read this novel around 1 or 2 or 3 years ago but I havent finish it, I read it in raw MTL then my brain got wreck because of horrible grammar and translate. Then after I recalled I search this novel again and start reading it.

Overall the story was nice. It would be better if there was smut and alot sweet moments.

Read it a while back, second of the transmigration into ancient times novel i've read.

All the same basic plot: MC is not well treated in family, wants to break with main family, make a fortune by using modern knowledge.. Because of course, he's someone qualified in modern times.

But still, enjoyable to read because MC is a seme for a change.

Very fluff I like it a lot at the beginning I really liked MC and the fact that he didn't have some niche hobbies in the modern world like ancient medicine concoction, alchemy, civil engineering, ancient languages or some other stuff that are fairly common in other novels...

However later in the novel he becomes too "powerful" and it stops making sense altogether. And the latter part of the novel made me wonder Tf did I just read...

The ML is really cute and at the very beginning it really made sense... more>> that he was insecure, out of nowhere his life changed to quickly for him to keep up thus making him very insecure but I seriously couldn't stand... the author.

For some reason the author has the need to describe how every person in this world thinks ML is ugly and he doesn't deserve MC.

at some point people get to know ML and acknowledge his efforts and the place that he has in MC's life and everyone but himself is aware that the MC does like him and place him above anything else, it gets frustrating ML inferiority complex and distrust in to the MC.

Anyway it's a light read, it may be a little refreshing the lack of some of the troupes present in other novels of this genre but the ones that are present nullify the novel's potential <<less

I really like the ML in this novel, he's cute, hard working, and really just makes you want to spoil him!! However the MC is a bit excessive. His past family was definitely scum, but the way he acted just left a bad taste. It felt like he went overboard in how he acted. I understand and appreciate revenge in novels like this, but this MC felt like he stooped down to their levels in some ways, making him feel kinda scummy and petty.

The plot is also kinda slow moving... more>> and standard for the trope. <<less

This novel is briliant. The plot thickens every time a conflict appears, mostly caused by MC's parent's and sibling's entitlement. MC is always ahead of his ex-family's evil plot. I love that the MC's and ML's personality is consistent while showing some personal growth. Every conflict has purpose which keeps the plot going while ending each conflict with genius solutions.

Examples:

Spoiler

MC ended his familial connection from his ex-family by being so scary that they agreed to end their relation through registration while giving him money and land.

Guy that tries to harm MC becomes MC being his manager in casino

He bought his sister through s*avery contract to free her from her parents and brothers

He earned money by selling the simplest thing

He gathered relevant people to make his status rise

Ending seems a little rushed though

A gong MC. A story where there's 3 genders in ancient china, with a modern youngman being transmigrated that tried to live with his own instinct to protect his husband, (husband's) parents and children.

The only thing I dont understand is the title. It implies, the subject for this story is the ugly husband, right? And after reading it, the ugly husband is the ML (shou). However, ML parts in this story is not as many as MC, 80% of it is written with MC's pov. That title only works... more>> out in the first part, the second part there's nothing to fit 'The only faourite Ugly Husband title, since the story doesnt involve him anymore.

The first few early chapters were making me angry and my hands were cold. Because there's just too much cruelty the original takes. When MC were dealing with the original parents I couldnt help but shaken with anger and loathsome for those scums of blood relatives.

Now, what makes this story a charm?

1. This story doesnt deal with scholar, the fight to top of scholar and stepping into capital and mucking around into kingdom intrique.

2. MC instead steps into the sea merchant road, and bringing his only skill from the modern world, that is a soldier to build an empire of escort.

Why sea merchant? His village is surrounded by river, and the main transport there is boat.

3. ML is timid at first, but then ML teaches him, and slowly he stands and can help managing the company when MC is away. At first, ML doesnt has self confidence, people say he is ugly as a ger. Yes, as a ger he is not beautiful, he is too manly, tall, strong. But in MC's eyes, ML is exactly his type, coz MC is gay and his type isnot the feminine man. Slowly, ML never doubts himself and his man love anymore. 4. MC doesnt move and go to live in the capital like all the same theme novel. They still go home to their village, and only move to nearby county town.

5. MC is not your OP character. For example, he wants to build everything from modern world, but his knowledge is limited, since he's only a soldier. He wants to advance the medical industry, but he only knows first aid kid technique. So he only does things that he knows from his background as soldier.

6. MC really a family man. And this is the first I read a male MC (gong) that marry to his wife family, and names his children with his wife surname.

Some things are lacked detail and overrated but all in all, it's a nice story. <<less

this was a good read. You can consider the story as the establishment of an empire and struggles you go through to do so. There’s not so much fluff (in case you’re looking for a lot of it) I appreciated the last four chapters a bit more than some of the chapters prior. But ultimately this was good.

It was nice story

At the beginning I was annoyed because it too slow pace... but it gradually picked up... the growth of the ML... the insecurity of MC...

However for me their relationship wasn't extra or romantic... it was just marriage and s*x... the MC was full of insecurities... they both had no communication so... the MC thought was only that he needs to stick to the ML so that the ML doesn't leave him... the ML didn't know anything about the MC insecurities... he just thought the MC was jealous... more>> and like to stick to him...

However aside from their relationship the MC was a strong person he improved in many areas... he would he helped the ML... even if others look down on him for his 'masculine look' he would never broke down in front of others...

In the end many ended up admiring him especially the people under the ML... <<less

Well in this story people had a certain aesthetic when it comes to beauty. Our MC is beautiful for our ML eyes but for others its not due to being Ger that is not on the norm. Anyways ML did his best to pursue the MC and make ways to have a livelihood.

Yeah the story kinda bland, some small angst in there, some small fight but it gets resolved after no long misunderstangs (thanks for that). A novel of a couple life and having a better living. They're kinda shookt... more>> MC pregnancy labor kinda fast hahhaa well our MC is strong too though he can be timid/awkward sometimes but there's our ML to pamper him. <<less

Love Love it!!

Jiang Zhen (MC) is a gong (it's kinda rare in Chinese novel so I stated it xD). As for why Zhao Jinge (ML) is said to be ugly, he is just manly (or in ABO world it can be said as manly omega) which deviates from beauty standard at that time.

Neither Jiang Zhen nor Zhao Jinge is overly powerful. It can be said as couple growth (mostly Zhao Jinge). Jiang Zhen came from modern time (also an ex-soldier) and that's his golden finger. His money making is a... more>> little bit too fast, but hey, he has a cheat. I cannot say much here because anything else is spoiler.

There are some aspects in Jiang Zhen's businesses that was not told in detail (it's the later business 'tho). It doesn't impact overall story but I'm kinda curious.

Spoiler

The wine. The club in Fucheng. The growth of Jiang Chen's escort business. The rebels (the small businesses, not the man behind) that popped up suddenly. The sea voyage (I really want to read this arc!).

By the way, it can be because it's a little confusing to read the mtl version (except for the sea voyage) so I missed the details.

[collapse]

All in all, the story was wrapped up nicely!

Spoiler

Especially that alternate world arcs.

This book, though it has a slow build in the romance department is really well written and enjoyable... It's difficult to find such a nice relationship build from the ground up!And on the side you get some nice (but not stressful) drama and action scenes.

This book was awesomeness in written form. I had to MTL the rest of it which I never do. I just loved the growth of the characters through out the book. If you are looking for something fluffy and funny with a hint of face slapping, you are in the right place!!

I don’t know why everyone considers it different from a typical transmigration novel. We have a bad ass top and a white flower bottom. So nothing new there. The plot is so so...

translations are superb though. Just not my cup of a tea story and it progresses in a snail speed...

CUTEST BOOK EVERY!!! LIKE 1000% RECOMMENDED!

The book is situated in a world where men, women and Gers exist. The MC is a man and the ML is ger, but the ML is not a normal ger, he is called "ugly" because he looks like man and despise being a ger, he is stronger then most men his time. I personally love this book because the ger, is not like other gers I have read about and he is too innocent, cute and unique. The MC is not bad at all,... more>> be very respectful towards the ML and he is also a transmigrated military chief. Both the ML and MC are the most beautiful I have ever seen. <<less

When I though it was just a very mundane story of a modern man who transmigrated to the ancient times, a nice farming story and growth of characters as well as their relationship and then suddenly BAM!
Spoiler

They founded a country!

[collapse]

It's the weirdest thing because it seems boring BUT you can't help but want to continue reading the story. Felt like I was reading the book in forever!

Nice to know that the original Jiang Zhenwei at the extras overcame his scars in the end.
