11/10/24 so ... honestly I feel bad not rating this book but also I didn't read like a quarter of it or more - and didn't SERIOUSLY start reading it till like halfway through so ... Man - the story was probably pretty good? But the translator was ... not so good. And worse it was on a really fucking stupid site than randomly "censored" words that made no sense/it was incredibly irritating. So there was that. Also big misunderstandings and eye roll, but at least it was sexier than your usual cnovel. Just *points at above* I think had it been on another better site I'd have read from go... maybe. The beginning also was a bit slow? Nothing too memorable for this all.
I do wish other books heh - well I wish there wasn't censorship. So there's that.
Based on what I read I'd say a solid C-? Will decide if I rate it or not later I guess...
~*~*~*~*~ Da Li Si
C1 … FL is Lin WanQing? ML Su MoYi
(Screenshots 42.2) => no idea what I meant here
43 🙄😒 even pleasure is written as “pl*asure”🤷🏻♀️ “The spring water in the flower p*ssy surged like a hot spring, but Su Moyi still penetrating her, despite the leak. The p*ssy's flesh stirred crazily, and the center of the flower sucked violently. In the next breath, the man on top of her body let go of his low roar, violently thrusting for a moment, followed by an opening of the s*men barrier, shooting out a stream of hot s*men against her still excitedly contracted flower center.” 🙄 … “br*ast fruits” 🤦🏻♀️
C52 lol hot springs(?) fun - and shoutout to a dude who performs cunnilingus esp in a historical cnovel - those X rated books he studied doing a man (and woman) good 😉😇
54.1 lol our guy has become a sex fiend. Going after her all the time and even 2x before breakfast! lol feeding her black chicken & ginseng soup 😹😹😹💯💯💯
63 ok this was lovely “Everything suddenly ranked ahead of him. Therefore, today, when he saw her wearing a wedding dress and performing a ceremony with other people, his heart was not jealous anymore, but afraid of her one day becoming a firefly - becoming someone else's wife. But, it was useless to say out loud; he would only push her away if he held her too tight. So he put away the gloom in his heart and raised his hand to stroke her back wordlessly.”
64 🙄🫥 this translator man “"Is it comfortable?" He bit her ear and softly asked, "Am I f*cked you comfortably?"”
Whoa 65.1 amidst the sexathon he told her he loves her and wants to have a child with her! 😱😻
Oh man 65.2 - so sweet! “Su Moyi hugged her. Two people were nestled in the quilt, revealing only two heads. It was a cold winter night, but Lin Wanging suddenly felt warm at the bottom of her heart. "Does Qingqing know about the first snow?" The person behind her asked, his chin brushing against the center of her hair, making her itchy. "En," Lin Wanging nodded, "Mutual expressions of love for a lifetime."” 😹☠️ Then him making her put her affections in writing… but! What *he* writes! 😻😻😻 “Only then did Lin Wanqing come back to her senses, and through the dim candlelight, she saw the handwriting - I will only love you; I wish for peace in this world, living quiet and good time with you; we will never separate from each other forever and ever.'”
67.2 oh man when she basically loses her soul when that last witness dies & is about to leave (with her friend) I treared up. “"Didn't you want to go to a place with four seasons?" She asked suddenly, her voice hoarse. "Then I'll go with you." They packed the traveling bag quickly; she had almost nothing to bring. Su Moyi gave a box full of things to her. She put it away on the table, always returning things to their rightful owners. "Miss," Lailuo called behind her, "What's this? Do you want to take it with you?" She looked at two interlocking prints on the thin page, one large and one small, with sadness in her heart. The corners of her mouth pulled out a forced smile and said, "No, put it together with those." Since she decided to give it up, she returned it to zero. It's time to dry your body after traveling through the fallen flowers and coming ashore. Don't ask for the river, and don't ask for the boat.” … but 😱 he … already knew her identity?! lol first time I regretted jump/skim reading & only properly reading starting at like 61…
68.1 oh shit 😒😡 it was that letter from the empress dowager that told him?! 🙊 he burned the marriage letter. Fuck and the hot oil burns her while she’s trying to stop him 😿 this poor girl is only 17!!!
68.2 😡😡😡 ok we hates the bitch ass empress dowager & fuck ML for considering other chicks too. Asshole. I hope FL marries someone else 😡💯
69.1 It’s both metaphor and literal truth and I kinda hate the truthfulness to it. (Treating poor FL’s burned hand & her ruined relationship.) “Lailuo lightened the force on her hand and frowned, saying heartbrokenly, "If Miss feels pain, don't look at it." Lin Wanging smiled and mumbled, "You have to see the wounds clearly before you know what medicine to apply."” I’m glad she’s at least got 2 friends

Oof 71.1 yaaas ML rejecting Yue A County princess! But kindly

81.1 lol their vigorous sex (despite his injuries!) broke the bed curtain/canopy 😹💯 🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊 literally clasped a hand over my mouth 81.2 FL tied up ML to leave him frustrated… AND HIS GRANDMA THE EMPRESS DOWAGER FOUND HIM
😹😹😹☠️☠️☠️😹😹😹 83.2 *WHEEZING* “"Fine..." the Empress Dowager sighed, "'m old. I do not have the heart to care about these courtroom disputes. I only hope to be able to hold a great-grandson as soon as possible, the fourth generation of my family, to enjoy the days of life -" Saying this, she couldn't help but measure Lin Wanging. Seeing that she looked indifferent, the Empress Dowager felt a hint of urgency in her heart. She surveyed the surroundings for a moment, and after making sure that no one was present, she beckoned to Lin Wanging, asking her to come closer. Lin Wanging froze and leaned over in confusion. The Empress Dowager changed her usual serious and dignified demeanor, secretly pulled out a small booklet from under the seat, and stuffed it into Lin Wanging's hand, saying, "Take this and learn it well. In the future, it will be beneficial to you." "Oh, oh. ....." Lin Wanging nodded and took it, but she saw nine big characters on the cover - The One Hundred and Eight Secrets of Sex "...." Lin Wanqing couldn't believe her eyes, staring at the Empress Dowager and swallowing hard. …
"I got pregnant with Jingche's mother using this method." ....." Lin Wanging looked at the two upside-down overlapping people on the page, and for a moment, she felt mixed emotions. "Take it," the Empress Dowager shoved the book into Lin Wanqing's hand and instructed, "It's yours, don't let me down." Lin Wanging: ". ....."”

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I'm not sure how to evaluate this story. As a standalone, it's an enjoyable story, with plot points and every issue resolved. As a mystery story... there's no mystery to solve, not when the story didn't even try to make a diversion or hint otherwise about what was happening. As a political intrigue story... there's no intrigue either, main characters went on 1 undercover trip and figured out the entire antagonist + their motivation. As a romance story... both MCs were quite childish in the way they express love (which was personally a bit cringe for me), and at one point I found myself thinking, did the ML fell for the MC because the s*x was just that good? I struggled to remember moments that would had made him fall for her, given that until the point when her identity was discovered she had done nothing but annoy him.
At least when it's time for action, MC was decisive in her actions, which elevated my liking of her as an MC. It's also nice that the MC had other friend(s) she could rely on, and that her world didn't revolve around the ML. Other than that... I don't know what else to recommend about this story.
