Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate

Description

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

There were two daughters in Jiang Family. Each of them was as beautiful as flowers and jades.

Time had caught up with the famine season. One must be sold to survive.

Jiang Yun Zhu pulled the shorter stick and was taken away by a human broker.

Seven years later, Jiang Yun Zhu’s face was even brighter. She was dressed in rich clothes and surrounded by servants.

At this time, she was already the young madam of Marquis An Ping Manor. It went without saying, she was extremely honorable.

It turned out that the human broker sold her to Marquis An Ping Manor back then.

At this time, Jiang Yun Xiu’s face was battered by wind and frost. Every day, she worried about firewood and rice.

After receiving the brocade handed over by her elder sister, Jiang Yun Xiu gritted her teeth until blood came out. If she was the one who was taken away by the human broker…

Returning to the day of drawing lots, Jiang Yun Xiu snatched the short stick first. This time, she wanted to be the one above others.

Jiang Yun Zhu smilingly took the long stick. She thought it was so easy to go from a maid to the Young Madam of Marquis Manor?

Note: The wealth and honor in the heroine’s dream was earned by her own struggle, not by being sold.

Don’t get sold, live even better!

Read the main story, and up to extra epilogue chapter 12.

Light-hearted, historical novel about a family fleeing famine/drought, building a cooking/restaurant business, and eventually succeeding in the capital.

Pacing was good (better than Fields of Gold), FL was an OP cook (modern girl transmigrated into ancient times as a beautiful girl, then dreams of the next 7 years if she is sold as a maid, aka rebirth), and ML was likable (icy, abstinent, handsome, lethal, powerful, but usually very respectful of the FL).

The villains are fairly simple (greedy/lustful/jealous, especially the crazed... more>> sister), some loose threads (but I'm still waiting for the last 8 extra epilogue chapters, hopefully we find out who gets the throne next), but still a very good read.

I did like that the extras (I've read 12 of 20) follow up with the other family members, the paternal relatives from the beginning, and the various employees and businesses that were from earlier in the novel.

If you like ancient china, fleeing famine, foodie/restaurant stories, I think you'll like this one. <<less

Spoiler

I have a fun time binge-reading this. Very touched with ML's initiative to give MC a signed separation letter upon their marriage for a way out if later MC is unhappy with her life one day (MC notices his turbulent mood from his writing too).

Also, I think ML's parents seems to have their own way of getting along with each other through their quarreling. Kinda reminds me of Pei Yan and the grand princess from The Grand Princess novel.

Personally, MC's sister who was sold instead of MC is quite pitiful. When MC and the rest of the family were doing business successfully, there was barely any mention of the sister's absence as if her being sold meant her life was no longer entwined with theirs/considered lost forever (in a way that was commonly the case). Later, the family tried to buy back the sister's freedom but the sister's mind was already blinded with things like envy and ambition/expectation. I am hoping for a closure at the very least for her. But I haven't finished reading the extra chapters yet, so who knows.

Overall, it's an enjoyable story. The ML is quite a green flag too. He respects MC and they compromise each other a lot.

A sweet slice of life, with some intrigue from time to time.

For the foodies it will probably be more enjoyable since there is a lot of passages about food.

The minus for me would be the sister, there is no much reason for her behavior apart from the need of this kind of vilain. Could have been better Imo.

Overall I enjoy reading it, the translation seem good.

Try it 10 chapters and you should know if it fit you.

Loved the story and the romance. There were no annoying 3rd party or villains. Story was tied up nicely. FL is a great and smart cook, ML is the silent protector. I am assuming he must be smart to navigate the politics of the court but the novel never dwelled on it.

This is such a wonderful and beautifully wrapped up story. I very much enjoyed reading this except for majority of chapters wherein the FL and ML cleary likes each other but still playing cat and mouse. I can understand the point of the FL of having freedom and this time choosing what see wants but sometimes it feels frustrating that I almost dropped down the book. Thankfully I persevered and enjoyed it so much during the end.

Overall impression is this is truly a gem.

This is a meh story. Wasn’t horrible but it left you wanting more justification for why everything works out for the FL. Best way I can describe this novel is that the FL halo is never tilted but not really earned in any way. The character is progressive for the time and place setting just by wanting to work and earn money but when it comes her human rights she doesn’t care really when everything is decided for her outside of her work.

Slow and light read, but generally feels good and has well controlled pacing. Fantasy dynasty so have to ignore all the little historical holes in behaviour and accessible materials. The ending (in afterwards) is a little too extra but eh

I forgot about this story. I came back to read it. Nothing really happens until the very end and even then, most of the plot and action is in the extras. It's a good read for a slice of life with cooking and some romance tho.

It's okay. The romance is super slow burn. They finally kiss at around chapter 85 but still aren't together. The story is very slice of life with a sprinkle of intrigue. The twin sister frustrates me - it's like... more>> the author lost steam regarding her because she's not present for a good chunk of the story. <<less

Good storyline and characters development. But somehow I feel the writer bored with their plot. The ending just pale with the first chapter impression.

The male lead Best friend treat not fair : (

Another novel with explanation type of writing. Even how the characters feeling, the writer explaining details.
