Probably my favorite novel of all times.

Novels with 1000+ chapters tends to drag the plot for me and become boring at some point but this novel is different. I remember I couldn’t put this novel down because I continuously wanted to read what happened next. Long Feiyi and Han Yunxi are definitely two of my top favorite ML and FL. ... more>>

The plots starts out with the FL transmigrating only to find herself in a sedan off to marry the ML (decreed from the Emperor) but without the ML present on their marriage ceremony. FL had poison/scar on her face she was able to cure. That same wedding night she saved ML from poison and from there she and ML became mutual partners that benefited each other. ML relying on FL poison skills and FL relying on ML’s status to survive. Both of them eventually starts developing feelings for each other but there is much more to their background than meets the eyes. Is he really just the Duke of Qin and is she really just Han Yunxi whose from a wealthy (medical) family? Read to find out as they fall in love and to unravel their true identity. Would they still be able to be together after the truth? <<less

For those who don’t like harem I’d say give this a chance. ML does have a harem but once he falls in love with the... more>> FL (his abandoned Empress) he starts to seek her only. I also love that FL is a tomboy and the hobbies and interests she has differs from other women. For example FL even though she is an Empress has a fascination with guns. She got injured one time and ML banned guns from her.  <<less

Not everyone will like this novel especially the ML but I say read it and you can either choose to continue to like him or... more>> hate him. I personally enjoyed how there is so much going on in the novel and it keeps you on your toes. There are reasons behind everything even the ML’s actions towards the FL. You just need to keep reading as everything will eventually unfold.  <<less

FL is kicked out of her sect and while on a mission (to earn money) she runs into a mishap and ends up getting forced... more>> to marry the idiot grandson from a small village. The strange thing is that the grandson doesn’t seem like an idiot to the FL. This is just a brief cap on the intro and the story goes much more beyond than this. There were a few moments I found myself touched and wanted to cry. There aren’t many novels that can make me feel this way.  <<less

If the author went into more detail into the plot and added descriptive martial art scenes this novel would have been a 5/5 for me.... more>> But since this is a short novel the author only kept the main essence of the plot. I really felt that this novel could be adapted into a film or drama. For some reasons it gave me Reign of Assassin (Michelle Yeoh’s film) vibe. I truly wish this wasn’t a short novel. The premises of the plot is very good.  <<less

This novel’s fl is different compared to other fl’s I’ve read before. The fl act as a fool (to survive and live her days freely)... more>> but also being a fool has made her witnessed too many secrets. She will become entangled with many (handsome) guys [but ends up with one guy]. The fool facade that she puts on for years will eventually crumble down as the plot progresses leaving her no choice but to stop playing a fool. <<less

As childhood desk mates, not only was the ml shorter than the fl, he was treated as the fl’s lackey which made the ml harbored... more>> bad feelings towards the fl ever since. Due to the ml’s dislike towards the fl, he switched school before entering middle school. With years of separation, they finally met again in college but things are no longer the same when they were in primary school — the roles has been reversed. The interactions between the leads are quite entertaining from childhood to adulthood. There will be bickering but there will also be fluffy romance too. Novel is quite light hearted to read.  <<less

It’s been awhile since I’ve read this novel but basically FL is from the enemy side of the ML’s. FL ends up on the ML’s... more>> side and encounters ML who ends up falling for her w/o knowing that she is the enemy’s strategist in war, his nemesis in the battlefield.  <<less

I absolutely love the c-drama, but novel is also good!

I read the manhwa first and got invested in the story thus decided to read the novel. First of all, I’m not a big fan... more>> of novels that have a “system” the ml or fl needs to follow or help them cheat but this novel changed my mind. I love how the system makes the fl manipulate the relationships between the leads and how she tries to survive her fate knowing what happened to her character in the actual novel as a cannon fodder.  <<less

I’m a big fan of novels that has a strong fl disguised as a male and this novel just fit right into my alley. I... more>> enjoy reading the process of the fl rebirthing (into a different body) as she becomes stronger to seek revenge for her former self (her old body). As a former female general that is famous but unknown to people of her real identity, the fl joins the army to become a soldier again with the goal to work her way up quickly in order to avenge her old self. Fl meets the ml who is the general in her camp and someone who she had an entanglement with in her past life (read novel to find out). The romance is slow because the novel focuses on the fl’s growth in her second life and how she eventually seek revenge for her old self. The author is also the same author who wrote The Rebirth of Malicious Empress of Military Lineage and though this novel is second to Malicious Empress (imo), it does not disappoint.  <<less

(Incomplete) The author meticulously planned the plot to be well thought out. Lots of backstory and I normally find backstories useful though boring to read... more>> but this novel they’re short and interesting. It gives me similar vibe to The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage but has its own colors. <<less

(Incomplete) ML (imperial guard) deceive FL by being her (adopted) childhood lover/second brother but ends up falling for her instead. FL has a special talent and utilizes her talent and skills to help the ML with solving cases. ... more>>

Update: I tried to mtl on the novel but lost interest. Not sure if I’ll continue reading but the beginning started off good.  <<less

 Novel is light, cute, and fluffy. 

4/5 (Book 2 out of 4 secret female constable)

4/5 (Book 1 out of 4 secret female constable)

4.3/5 (Book 3 out of 4 secret female constable)... more>>

This is my second favorite arc of the 4 sisters. I find the concept of a cold beauty FL and a shameless ML in ancient time quite interesting to see together. <<less

5/5 (Book 4 out of 4 secret female constable) ... more>>

My favorite arc out of the 4 sisters’ stories. I like the storyline and how the ML and FL met each other. FL is carefree in nature but very smart. In some ways you can say she’s mischievous due to her carefree nature but not in a childish way. She knows when to use her charm to her own advantage. The ML in this novel is probably my favorite out of the 4 books. I won’t discuss about him further in order to not ruin the story. <<less

Novel is more focus on solving cases involving amongst those with power (or higher ups) hence the title. I personally enjoyed the slow romance that was built up between the leads as their relationship develop while working together. ... more>>

I’ve watched the drama and liked it thus decided to give the novel a read. I usually prefer the novels over the drama versions and the novel did not disappoint.  <<less

4.5/5 ... more>>

This is the second arc of Poison Genius Consort focusing on Han Yunxi and Long Feiyi’s daughter. Sadly, I had to mtl this novel (which was comprehensible to understand). But, between the first arc and second arc, I prefer the first arc more. <<less

4.5/5 (incomplete)... more>>

The story revolves mostly on the cases the FL and ML work on solving together with minor romance, and where I left off reading from where the translator stopped, there has only been small cute moments between the leads.  The  romance is build-up slowly between the leads and besides the interesting cases they solve, I’m curious how our two leads will develop their feelings for one another. The plot and cases are intriguing especially when the FL utilize her talent as a coroner to determine clues to the cases.  <<less
