She just took a nap in the lounge, and when she opened her eyes, She turned out to be a fat rural girl who was illiterate in ancient times.... more>>

Not to mention that this girl likes to eat and slouch, but still acted like a village bully.

No one in the village wanted to marry her. It was not easy to finally buy a rich husband, but on the wedding day, the groom escaped.

In a rage, Her dad went down to the road and kidnapped a husband for her.

It’s just… Dad, isn’t there something wrong with the one you kidnapped?

After marriage, Su Pangya was very busy.

Busy transforming the bully dad and the bully brother.

Busy rescuing the beautiful husband.

Busy raising three little cute bullies.

Accidentally, she was so busy that she became the most powerful female marquis of Dayan!

--------------------

This is the second novel I've read from the author. I must say that this author is really talented in writing very vivid, dynamic characters. All her characters shine in their own way. Because of her talent in writing very nuanced characters - from the leads to the side characters to the villains, the story becomes very engaging and interesting to read.

The plot is nothing very complicated, to be honest. The story is interesting but what makes it better is how the characters progress in the story. This is a character-driven novel.

FL is super OP, and so is ML. Romance is not a highlight. <<less

In pursuit of repaying her favor to the Empress, Xie Lin Lang traveled thousands of miles to the side of the decrowned Crown Prince in hopes of teaching and raising him to become a brilliant and intelligent emperor.... more>>

However, she didn’t expect that her first mission after arriving would be to prevent him from becoming evilized!

Seeing the Crown Prince about to poison the water source to kill the family of his enemies, Xie Lin Lang cried, “Don’t do it, your highness! Revenge done precisely is the trend nowadays! How about I teach you a set of unbeatable martial arts instead?”

Seeing the Crown Prince with his army ready for a coup d’etat any second, Xie Lin Lang cried, “Don’t do it, your highness! I have the money and the food. How about we go the peaceful political route?”

Days after days of trepidation, she didn’t think that the Crown Prince became evilized anyway! Not to mention stealing her bride, he even trapped her into a corner.

------------------

INCREDIBLE story of romance, healing, friendship, politics, and vengeance. It’s really an epic. Despite the many chapters, the writing is fast paced and you never get bored. <<less

Qin Jiu transmigrated into a switched-at-birth novel.... more>>

She became the first daughter of a marquis’ household. She was swapped out maliciously at a young age and raised in the countryside.

The fake young mistress female lead was a rebirthed girl. The pearl of the capital, and the future wife of the second prince.

In the original novel, Qin Jiu had been jealous of the female lead and kept going against her, trying in vain to frame her. Unaware of her lacking capabilities, she even tried to steal the male lead from her.

Eventually, everyone turned their backs against Qin Jiu and she was killed by an arrow to the heart.

After reviewing the plot, Qin Jiu tore up the script–She doesn’t want to be this villainess cannon fodder!

Then in the next moment, she jumped into the arms of Regent Gu Zezhi.

Qin Jiu, “Sob sob sob…golden thighs!”

Gu Zezhi, “I’ll let you hug them.”

The regent of the dynasty had a fierce reputation of great power and heartless killings. Many people hated him, feared him, and wanted him dead. Then, one day, someone saw the infamously fierce regent holding a little girl in his arms with a pampering expression. 

Gu Zezhi kissed her hair and spoke in a gentle voice. “You can get rid of anyone you want. I’m here.”

--------------------

If you're looking for OP protagonists, dumb antagonists, LOTS of faceslapping and disappearing cannon fodders once their task is done, minimal romance... this story is for you. <<less

Xiao Xixi travelled back to ancient times and became one of the prince’s concubines.... more>>

It should have been the beginning of the palace fight, but she just wanted to be a salted fish.

Salted fish is the way to survive, and eating and waiting for death is the true meaning of life!

But,

Prince Gao Leng loves her very much

……..

Father Xiao: Daughter, you have to live up to your expectations, our family can count on you to climb the heights of dragons and the phoenixes!

Xiao Xixi: No, I’m just a salted fish

Palace maid : Little Master, you have to live up to your expectations, you must defeat those green tea b*tches to become the crown princess!

Xiao Xixi: No, I’m just a salted fish

Crown Prince : Concubine Ai, you have to live up to your expectations, I just count on you to inherit the lineage!

Xiao Xixi: No, I’m just a salted fish

Prince : It’s okay, I can be a lazy bump too.

------------------

A brilliant masterpiece with all the elements of a great story. It involves throne ascension drama, political issues involving the court and aristrocatic families, harem politics and fights, some magical elements involving amulets and talismans, a wonderful romance with a doting ML, great side characters like the Xuanmen sect family and fun antagonists.

I don't think the summary really explains the story correctly. The only thing it got right is the FL's salty fish nature (lazy and doesn't want to move). Translation is 2/5. I find reading the MTL is easier.

Basically its about a girl who has special abilities and something called An Eye of Heaven that allows her to see good fortune or bad fortune on someone when she looks at their face. She can calculate their fortune, etc. She is from a special sect called the Xuanmen sect and is now on a mission to help anyone of her choosing to ascend the throne. Our FL is super lazy (there is a reason for this), and she decides the Crown Prince is the easiest to help as he's already on the way to becoming the Emperor anyway. To her shock and dismay, the Crown Prince who was chosen by the Emperor is actually not favored at all and is a pawn.

So she helps him overcome his struggles. It's pretty great.  <<less

The Prince of Su Wang, Chu Ba Ning is not famous because of his great status and power, but because legend has it that whoever becomes his wife will be cursed to death, with no children to inherit his fortunes.... more>>

Ever since the Emperor betrothed Lu Shao Qi to Chu Ba Ning, everyone had predicted that she will not be living a long life. Even the biggest casino in the capital city would gamble and make bets about how she would die. The side-concubines gifted to the Prince of Su Wang would also cry and kneel to the ground to hug Lu Shao Qi’s legs, begging for her to not drag them to death with her.

Lu Shao Qi complains: Heavens! Is it easy to find a virtuous wife like me? Such a fortune and you don’t know how to appreciate it!

--------------------

I enjoyed this rather light-hearted fluffy story that focuses on the relationship between the FL and ML. Nothing dramatic really happens with conflicts being solved easily. Minor things does happen with some faceslapping here and there but its very inconsequential. ML protects our FL from harm and hunts down her enemies but in very rational ways.

There are buns in this story too and they’re very cute. <<less

Ruan Longling was divorced by her fiancé, Liu Chengji, who was studying in the capital because of her status as a merchant girl. She finally figured it out: In this world, apart from money, only the blood of close relatives can be relied on. The Ruan family is well-known in the business, and she has ten thousand gold in hand, so she doesn’t have to worry about food and drink. The only wish is to have a child who will inherit the family business.... more>>

With the idea of giving up a husband and seeking a son, Ruan Longling fell in love with a sharp scholar. The scholar’s face is like a crown of jade, and the wind is gentle. From his appearance to his temperament, he is exactly what Ruan Longling likes. If there is a father like this, the son must be clever.

Ruan Longling used 18 tricks to seduce the scholar and her into a married couple, and the two of them spent a wonderful time together like glue.

------------------

This novel is very interesting and fun to read. The author executed it well imo. First of all, as mentioned by other reviews, both FL and ML are not perfect people. They're very flawed. They're not exactly bad people. It's just that our FL is bold in a time when those aspects are not appreciated. ML on the other hand, is what we would call now as a sexist, misogynistic man. In those days, ML is a very normal thinking guy. It's a story about how the two of them have s**, and then fall in love, and get separated before finding each other again. It is a great story with a lot of feminist/modern views in an ancient time. FL questions ML on why she should back down on certain things, and ML eventually changes his mindset. I liked that there was character growth in this story.

What I like is that the two leads get together after there has been some changes in their mindset. FL is not as adverse to marriage anymore, and ML is not as misogynistic anymore. Author also mentions in the story that if the two had gotten together in the beginning, they would have fought a lot and the marriage would have failed. But because there was a long time gap for the both of them to grow and sort out their feelings, it worked out better now.

Read it! <<less

Su Jin, who had experienced transmigration for the second time, ‘usurped’ the ‘system’ which was meant to belong to the female lead. Shortly after her transmigration, she sexually predated on a certain reincarnated prince.... more>>

Three years later, a shocking revelation had spread throughout the whole empire. Prince Li, who was well-known to be infertile, had become a father of three children.

Upon hearing news of the kids’ father being injured by the enemy troops, Su Jin clads on her battle gear and defeats the enemy general with a single arrow.

“If one isn’t capable of protecting her husband, how could she be the matriarch of the household?”

Bringing the system with her to cultivate the fields and raise the kids, she lives an inconspicuous life. Except that… in order to marry the prince, she goes all out!

With brains capable of supporting the livelihood of the family, and brawns capable of defeating tens of thousands of enemies.

Meanwhile, the reincarnated prince awaits for his upcoming ordeals in vain. All the obstacles and enemies have already been eliminated?

The prince attains victory without lifting a finger.

An all-in-one story that contains elements of a paranormal system, dumbfounding adorableness, tr*sh mob troupes, self-fulfilling and husband pampering plotline, all revolving around an invincible alpha female protagonist.

--------------------

It's honestly a very messy, wild, crack-ish, silly feel good story. It has SO MANY tropes involved in it. Transmigration, rebirth, systems, switched at birth... Turn off your brain to enjoy the story.

It's basically about this unhinged, super OP, strong, smart FL by the name of Su Jin. This is her 3rd life, she has transmigrated twice. First was her living in the modern world, then she was born in a tribal matriachal society where she became the tribe matriach before transmigrating again to this ancient time China. She basically does whatever she wants. Nothing bad happens to her or ML. Just read for fun.  <<less

When Tang Shuyi is transported to another world, she finds herself in the body of the wife of Marquis Yongning in the Daqian Dynasty. With wealth, power, and status, and without in-laws or a living husband, she seems to have hit the jackpot of transmigration. Just as she begins to relish her life as a wealthy and noble lady, she discovers she’s actually in a novel – as its greatest villain.... more>>

Not only does she possess wealth, power, and status, but she also has three unruly children. The eldest is lovesick, the second a notorious playboy in the capital, and the youngest daughter is arrogant and domineering. She herself is destined to die soon, leading to the fall of the marquis’ title and a tragic end for her children.

Tang Shuyi takes a deep breath, rolls up her sleeves, and gets to work!

We follow her journey as she disciplines her wayward children and navigates life as a noblewoman in ancient times, balancing wealth and leisure.

------------------

Absolute fave. Great set of characters, female lead is epic. The slice-of-life doesn't get boring. The childcare scenes are fantastic and involved small children, teenagers and young adults. The political maneuvering in this story of throne ascension is also fantastic! It focuses more on the FL bringing up her children, and she's known as a widow for almost half the novel.

Romance for her comes late and with it a plot twist as well. For me, I enjoyed the romance part as I felt ML and FL shared similar views in life and they have a pretty great relationship. However it is not very obvious nor blatant when they fell in love. It just sort of happens and they show their feelings through actions and not words. So it's a subtle romance for me. Romance is also not the focus in this novel.  <<less

Before becoming a widow, Hua Yang disliked almost everything about her husband. She disliked his sullen face every day, disliked him for lying on the bed full of sweat, and even disliked his lack of restraint at certain moments.... more>>

But when he really died and she became a widow, Hua Yang actually began to miss his good qualities one by one, such as his figure walking steadily in the heavy rain carrying her on his back, such as his blazing hot chest in the cold winter.

Once reborn, Hua Yang decided to be nice to him.

--------------------

I really enjoyed this novel!!! Also I absolutely love the ML. I had my doubts when reading the reviews but after reading the novel myself, I really like the ML. He’s a rare species in CNovels.

He isn’t the cold domineering CEO type. He is a rascal. A mischievous guy who talks sh*t a lot. But he respects his wife and dotes on her with his actions even if his mouth is spouting nonsense.

FL is an arrogant princess who has lived in privilege and luxury for a long time. In her second life she tones down her arrogance and becomes more involved in people’s lives. 

This story focuses on how FL changes the future by interacting with people, and letting go off her arrogance.  <<less

I am Zhao Tangtang, the sixth princess of the Zhao Kingdom. I thought I would always be an unpampered salted fish forever, but when I was six years old, my father emperor suddenly had the ability to read heart voices and I was pampered to the sky.... more>>

For the past six years, the only thing I’ve been doing besides eating and waiting for death is digging dog holes, because I know that my second imperial brother is the male protagonist in this book, and after he usurps the throne, I will become the chicken in the ‘kill the chicken to scare the monkey’ scenario.

That’s right, I’ve been transmigrated into this book since I was born. I know all the plots in this book and have memorized all of them in my mind. But, aside from that, all I have is this not-so-smart brain of mine.

I’ve never thought about competing for favor to increase my sense of presence.. because I know that I can’t win. I’ve never underestimated the IQ of the ancient people, and I don’t feel that I will have a chance to win just because I’m a transmigrator.

Very short, but very funny story. No romance btw. Just familial relationships! <<less

In her previous life, Li Qinghe married into the Xu family with pomp and splendor but was treated coldly and ignored by everyone in the household she married into. She eventually died of an illness to make way for her husband’s white moonlight.... more>>

However, she woke up again, this time with prior knowledge of herself being just a cannon fodder in a sweet romance novel. In the original novel, Qinghe had saved the male protagonist’s life and then asked him to marry her as repayment. She then made the lovers’ lifetime a hell because of her jealousy. Now that she had returned to the past and been given a second chance at life, Li Qinghe decided to change her way of living. She resolved to stay away from the male and female protagonists. It was still important to save his life for the story to continue, but that kindness would be exchanged for silver, and she would leave instead.

But unexpectedly, the original male protagonist was not reconciled to this and rushed to become entangled with her. She had a violent temper and rolled up her sleeves, intending to hit him. Another man beside her saw this and felt very distressed. Hurriedly taking her hand and squeezing it gently, he said, “Be good. If you’re not careful, your hand will hurt. You should stand aside and let me do such menial work.”

…

In his last life, Zhou Chengkang had built and maintained a large tombstone in front of Li Qinghe’s grave for his entire life after her death. He regretted not expressing the feelings in his heart to her many times. He then died, still carrying that regret.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was reborn and had returned to the time before she had gotten married to Xu Changjie. The beautiful lady was again alive and graceful, drawing at his heartstrings. He couldn’t help but want to take her into his arms.

This time, he won’t miss his chance again.

Double rebirth; a story of a husband and wife farming together and living with scums.

--------------------

Slice of life story of the FL and ML in the rural areas. From rags to riches. FL does not have any golden finger and is merely reborn. But even then she doesn’t change or alters the future in any way. They just focus on living their best lives. <<less

Ji Yunxi transmigrated into a book and accidentally became the richest person. In order to save her family, she decided to choose a thigh as her husband.... more>>

The vision she has for choosing a husband is very different from that of others. She likes a man with a deep mind and ruthless in his scheming. It doesn’t matter what he looks like.

She found that the Wu family has an unpopular Young Master that suits her taste well.

She naturally has to find a way to get the thigh she likes into her hands. He is just an unpopular Young Master now so of course it is not difficult for her to get him.

All the noble ladies in every family think that Ji Yunxi must be blind.

Many years later, all the noble ladies in every family regretted it very much.

Prime Minister Wu’s temperament in ruling and opposition is simply the most handsome one in the world!

Ji Yunxi herself also regretted it very much: “I don’t want it anymore now. Whoever wants this thigh, just come and drag it away.”

Prime Minister Wu slowly wiped his hands with the handkerchief: “That’s not what you said when you smashed me with money at that time.”

--------------------

Simple story about a battle for survival for a cannon fodder family through the efforts of the FL and ML. The story isn't deep and antagonists are defeated quite easily. However, the highlight of the novel is the subtle romance between the cold, calculative almost tsundere FL with a green-tea black bellied ML. There's also many fun and interesting side characters that make the novel more interesting to read.

Many might not like the FL in this story but I like that her first life shaped how she is in her new rebirth. She's been hurt and don't open up easily. The ML is also someone who fakes his emotions and is even more unfeeling than the FL but hides it behind his gentleman facade. The way the two leads interact and eventually fall in love is what I liked. They're both trying to find a way to build trust. The way they worked together is how they developed the relationship. Try reading it! <<less

He Si Mu used to pick up people on the battlefield to earn her a living, but was unexpectedly picked up by someone.... more>>

The young general who picked her up seemed to see her as a weak woman orphaned by the war, and took great care of her.

So He Si Mu conscientiously and dutifully played the part of the weak woman.

— Oh my, blood! I am most afraid of blood, I faint when I see blood !

——This water basin is so heavy and I have so little strength, I can’t move it at all !

——You guys fight and kill all day long, how scary !

The female general who had an unrequite love on the young general angrily said, “Brother Duan certainly doesn’t like such a delicate young girl like you!”

He Si Mu tilted her head: “Really?”

One day, the young general made a mistake on the battlefield, after being tricked by others.

He Si Mu, who couldn’t lift her shoulders nor her hands and would faint at the sight of blood, loosened up her muscles, and lit up a ghost lamp: “I wanna me see who dares to bully our General Duan, little fox Duan ?”

Duan Xu then thought, he shouldn’t have provoked the Ghost King.

It took him several months to learn that her real name was He Si Mu.

But maybe even with a lifetime, he still couldn’t let her remember his name in her four hundred years of long life.

“My name is Duan Xu, Xu like in ‘Feng Lang Ju Xu’*.” (*a famous chinese idiom)

—————

The super strong female Ghost King female lead faking weakness daily and the cunning special soldier young general male lead.

--------------------

Basically its a story with political intrigue, warfare and ghosts. It also has a lot of mystery!

Our FL is a ghost king who is temporarily resting in a human body and meets the ML whom surprises her. She then follows along as he goes about defending his country against the Huqi people who are invading and taking over regions.

The interactions between the FL and ML is so interesting and I love their distinct personalities. <<less

As a noble young lady from the Boling Cui family, Cui Yunzhao never imagined that when she proposed a divorce, Huo Tan would dare to agree so readily.... more>>

Of course, their marriage were forced due to the selfish desires of Cui Yunzhao’s uncle, who forced the match.

A marriage like that was better off avoided. No matter how capable he was or how respected he was as a young general in Bo Ling, he was still a rough man from a military background. He rarely spoke kindly and had no understanding of cherishing women.

Just thinking about it exhausted Cui Yunzhao, it was better to end it sooner.

After the divorce, Huo Tan soared higher and became the revered young emperor everyone admired, while Cui Yunzhao became a laughingstock throughout Bianjing.

Cui Yunzhao lived alone in a villa far away from Bianjing, thinking that she would live a peaceful life like this, but the most poisonous drug in the world took her life in advance.

In her final moments of agony, she heard a voice saying softly, “That person’s heart is truly ruthless.”

At that time, Cui Yunzhao felt her life had been absurdly ridiculous. If she could have a second chance, she would live this life to the fullest.

When she opens her eyes again, Cui Yunzhao finds herself back on the night of her wedding to Huo Tan.

Seeing the man’s strong, lean figure, she narrows her fox-like eyes and pushes him into the bridal chamber.

Since this man is destined to rise, she will use him as her tool.

She is determined to uncover everything from her previous life, find out who killed her, and live this life to the fullest!

On the wedding night, with her snow-like skin and flower-like red lips, her sweet fragrance fills Huo Tan’s nose.

She looks down at him from a high vantage.

“This time, you fell into my hands.”

The young generalwas handsome and unparalleled, gazes deeply at the stunning beauty before him, his eyes holding nothing else.

“Let’s see who ends up in whose hands,” he replies.

--------------------

It is an AMAZING story that ties together a strong intelligent FL alongside a calm and determined ML. The story has a great romance together with politics in ancient times. It is a complicated story with a lot of mysteries to unravel and as the story unfolds, only then the mu*der story will be solved. <<less
