君侯本无邪 3

君侯本无邪 #3

by Peng Lai Ke, 蓬莱客

两年过去，小乔尽心尽力，终于博得夫君和祖母的疼爱，却始终无法融入魏家。

对魏家而言，她这个仇人之女，不值得信任。既然她努力了这么久还无法融化君侯仇恨的心，那就走吧。

有前车之鉴，这一次，小乔决定偷偷行动。然而总有幺蛾子出来捣乱——丈夫的前女友怒刷存在感，怪力乱神。联合本就不喜欢她的婆婆，设下死局，要置她于死地。

然而更让小乔寒心的是夫君的态度：对待陷害她的初恋，他可以残忍地搁下人鼻，让人求生不得，求死不能。

他为她出头，也令她恐惧——如果某一天她离他而去，是否会是同样的下场？

纸包不住火，小乔助力娘家强大，一直在谋划着离开的事，还是被君侯发现了，本以为等待着自己的将是一场狂风暴雨，没想到君侯只是委屈巴巴地追回她，放下身段说出心里话：“我魏劭被你所俘，乃是我这辈子的幸事。”

他知道小乔是乔家对他施的美人计。

明知中计，却无法自拔。

4/24/24 heh honestly wavered between 3-4 stars but went with four because the smile on my face when I thought of the end/that extra chapter with the kitten and the cuteness.
Finally a different tone from the beginning and their relationship is FINAAAALLLLY a good one.
So much happened and their trust with each other and how both were super kickass.

Great overall character development for both of them.

Solid B read.

C115 oh thank god he plans on having nothing to do with cockroachSEH

Skimmed c117 cuz tbh I’m annoyed he’s king cockroach say so much

C119 😹☠️ him “magnanimously” accompanying her in the carriage
TBH though it seems kinda off ML looks down on Bi Zhi mostly cuz his origins like dude obviously is talented. Well I guess the Qiao connection? And their first meeting didn’t help 😖

C123 😖 welp that went terribly as expected. He was definitely wrong to interrupt her correspondence & hide things from her. It’s a difficult situation but… how will they recover from this.

C126 oof I’m glad they resolved things but *sigh* to more resistant sex. (Heh and a blowjob). Further all ruined by the cockroach being a trend setter. I need done chick who hates her to unmask her.

C130 yaaay pregnant! Her giving birth at age ~17 should be safe…

C131 oh thank god FL’s cousin wasn’t swayed by LiuYan & told him FL is happy and pregnant

C135 poor young puppet cannon fodder emperor. And now LiuYan is emperor ☠️

C136 😱 a traitor?! (Tbh I don’t care about this battle shit especially enemy camps so am mostly skimming it 😅🤷🏻‍♀️)

C137 *sigh* FL’s uncle continues to be a weak ass POS.
Aww a daughter. I’m terrible for being slight disappointed it isn’t a son. (But yay ML won)

C139 goddamn cockroach truly is a cockroach
Omg FL’s uncle drugged and blinded her dad. JFC.
💪💯 go Mrs. Ding, FL’s aunt! Too bad they didn’t get to take down her trash ass husband.

C141 damn I had wondered where QiaoCi is poor guy running around. Hopefully FL is successful.

C144 well at least WeiLiang seems to be ok & doesn’t hate FL or her brother. I hate the rest of the mess though & LiuYan that fucker

C145 ugh I’m stressed. I’m glad FL was finally honest. Disappointed ML just stared at her. Glad she left.

C146 🙄 him being an asshole. Honestly this is so annoying.

C148 JFC his mom is a cancer.

C149 omfg is he FINALLY going to change?! And thank god he pressed her about her nightmare & she kinda talked to him *inhales* JFC this couple

C150 glad he’s finally being honest & trying. (And come on let BiZhi play a part isn’t he close to there? And the Qiao family turn on that fuckhead LiuYan they never should’ve partnered with anyway! Stupid fuckhead uncle.)
Gaaaaaah I was literally just wondering what WeiYan had been up to and he appears! Oof.

C151 omg I’m glad WeiYan told FL about the deal. (Fucking LiuYan 😡) and sad though not unexpected with this WY says he’s totally no longer Han. 🫥

C152 omg I’m so stressed FL is going back to YuYoung though not surprised. I hope ML’s shit mom at least takes good care of her granddaughter… (I also hope FL is pregnant again 🤷🏻‍♀️)
Ahhh her on the city walls made me emotional

🙄 c154 JFC why won’t his mom just die.
Welp finally she did. Hopefully ML isn’t influenced by her shit ass ~last words.

C155 oof I get her wanting to go home… Hopefully he doesn’t hold it against her like goddamn dude what else does she need to do.

C156 awww glad ML & his FIL finally met & seem to get on okay

C158 awww he finally appreciates her & realizes she’s indispensable! ❤️ I love that he went back ❤️
Wait though lol if he doesn’t go what about the southern campaign?!

C159 I do feel bad for WY; really though situation

C160 awwww finally the whole story is out. Hopefully both are in a good place and he roars to success.
Wait damn did crazyass LiuYan kill this life wife too (thinking she was FL?) and holy hell cockroach. Has LY seen her actual face yet? Also ew

Awww c163 he dreamed of his past life from the day FL died/finding her till he died. Hopefully this makes him appreciate her & the people he has. Love that he’s going to get her and their daughter ❤️
😹😹😹💯💯💯 the author wrote the end of the chapter just for adaptation didn’t see. Them running to each other in the stream, the “rain” of peach blossoms… the hug… the beauty & the handsome fellow.

C164 lol the emperor is “afraid” of his wife. Cute formal end to the story.

C165 first extra!

C166 😹☠️ love how jealous ML is when it’s not overboard and LOVE that GaoHeng truly took the imperial exam to support FL & wanted to see her. Lol vinegar jar hero.

C168 omg what the fucking fuck 😹😹☠️
A) how did the cat even survive
B) ML is now in the cat and in HIS body is O.o him from the past life?!?

C170 😹☠️ cat emperor was all a dream. 😜 lowkey I wanted past life him to want and go for and get FL too. 💪💯 gotta get ‘em all! 😇

O.o c171 I… thought the grandmother already celebrated her 70th bday at the beginning of the book so how is she only turning 70 now o.O
Ahhhh so cute them going back to that Ferry. Also glad the grandmother is still healthy. Had the sinking feeling she was going home to die…
Very cute read! 🥰❤️

The Marquis Is Innocent

(English Translated Title)

The Marquis is indeed NOT innocent!🤣🤣

It's heavily plot-based. We encounter political intrigue, war, violence, betrayal and most of all, the inherent patriarchy present in ancient Chinese setting. All of these only makes the situation of the leads unfair and acts as an obstacle to their road to happily-ever-after. To be honest, the novel was just this🤌🏻 close to a tragedy.

Xiao Qiao, the youngest daughter of the Qiao family of Yanzhou, is unparalleled beautiful. She transmigrates from modern times with the memories of the original Xiao Qiao's tragic previous life. So just like her peers, she embarks on the journey of reversing the fate of herself and the people around her.

Unfortunately for her, she is now in a war-torn era where the imperial dynasty is at its last leg with various warlords competing for the Supreme position. To protect her homeland, her uncle forces her to marry the only son of the Wei family, Wei Shao, the Marquis of Yan.

The problem, though, is that Wei Shao's father and elder brother hit the bucket in front of him in the battlefield because of Xiao Qiao's grandfather's betrayal. So there is already a family feud in place on the road to happiness.

On the other hand, Wei Shao, the male lead, is ruthless and cruel, ambitious, egotistical, often aggressive towards the FL. He is bent on exacting revenge on all those who harmed him and his family and ultimately unify the central plains.

Now, I admit that the romance in this novel may not be for everyone. If you want a doting ML whipped for the FL from the get-go or a healthy lighthearted romance, then this is definitely not for you. It is plot-heavy slow-burn romance where the female lead navigates through her hostile in-law family and the male lead gradually comes to truly love another person and be considerate of others, especially other than himself.

I definitely fell in love with the characters and their romance. I LOVED Xiao Qiao. Even in an frustrating situation like the one she was in, she was aware of her shortcomings but that did not stop her from using her advantages to work through and stand up for herself. She was in no way a doormat, she understood her situation, understood herself.

For Wei Shao, I didn't have much expectation, especially after reading the part of his previous life. He was an able conqueror for sure, but he didn't have any aura of a male lead. But his character development was *chef's kiss*😩😩🤌🏻🤌🏻

I went from being indifferent to falling in love with Wei Shao too. Especially his side stories were hilarious. Those complaining about him being harsh towards his wife, I just want to say,

1. Xiao Qiao was literally the spawn of his family's enemy. Because of her grandfather, he saw his father and brother die in front of him. His mother grieved for more than a decade. The whole Wei family could only rely on his old grandmother Mrs. Xu.

2. Do not forget, the FL may be a modern soul but Wei Shao was born and brought up in a patriarchal society where men can do whatever they want even having three wives and six concubines. He was a product of his time. To me personally, the most important was that he wasn't stuck as an egotistical pedantic from start to finish. But that he was capable of change! (Just so you know, Wei Shao was monogamous from the start in the current timeline).

Nobody changed Wei Shao., not even Xiao Qiao. He changed himself. Wei Shao became a better person for Xiao Qiao.

If we go by the standards of a stereotypical male lead, then Bi Zhi may be the only one who was in love with and doting towards Da Qiao in the whole novel.

Mrs. Xu was the real MVP, for sure!

Chen Rui was the biggest clown🤡🤡

I absolutely LOVE this novel. If you're into serious historical Chinese novels, don't be afraid of the low ratings. Give it a go. Trust me, you won't regret it!
