It's now 2/19/24 ... 😅🫠 girl obviously I DID. NOT read the Chinese version of Let Me Pursue you, but definitely I AM too lazy to put a book into GR if any iteration of it already exists 🙃🤷🏻♀️😇
The whole "past life"/"I'm a stone" thing was ... O_o WTF. Also *sigh* like ... I think? This is the translator that did "a lot of research"/puts in all those "footnotes" of poetry and shit, but she freely admits it's just lightly "edited" MTL and yet all these people said how it's great translations and ... yo. And yet I can't judge cuz I'm the bitch who read it - and read a bunch so... you know. Whatever.
I did like this! It's kinda double "face slapping" (saying you'll never love [person] but then falling in love). Heh. Can't blame a bitch just trying to keep herself and her family alive. Was actually very sad about P...6 was it? I kept hoping I'd be wrong, but nope.
I kinda wish there had been more development of things but ... overall this was a very satisfying read - scheming ML, smart but not that smart FL, and I don't blame here. There were also SO many moving parts - like omfg at least the princess was "rebirthed" and who knows who else. And that FL only got information piecemeal through dreams and was also always that [stone] who only heard rumors from the "common people" which are NOTORIOUSLY inaccurate/rumors are so often wrong. So I don't blame her - nor for her not figuring out ML's alter ego earlier cuz dude put in WORK to fool her- and as others said, had fooled so many other people for so long.
I'd definitely read more by this author. C+ I think ~*~*~*~*~ C11 omg FL& the emperor are a mess. 😬🤦🏻♀️ we already met ML’s alter ego a few chapters ago… but damn this “translation” is truly miserable. I think she just c/p’d MTL 😐😖☠️
C18 😐 like… *sigh* I can’t say these siblings are stupid… but 😖🤦🏻♀️ they kinda are stupid. (Seriously though WTF is up with ML’s dual identities.)
>.> c21 😜 even if he doesn’t admit it I like ML is jealous of himself
C33 1st c-novel where ML has a wet dream 😜💯
C45… ok somehow I’m more ok with ML’s alter ego knowing it’s him pretending to be his (assassinated) shifu. And omfg 😱😅😹☠️ his shi(niang?! Like we’re there?!) rocking the boat to pretend they’re having sex so FL stops possibly crushing on Xu. O.o
C(47?) 😒😡🔪 drown those Jiang sisters in a lake
C48 lololol FL sneaking to ML’s house, him being jealous his guard was about to try catch her when she fell off the wall… his mother catching them… 🫠
C51 it’s lovely dealing with a smart ML & FL - and damn FL’s SIL really went all out trying to frame her 😒🔪
C54 awww another earnest kiss. *sigh* these terrible descriptions are really making me lament the terrible translations. Why bots why and why pretend ugh. Hm. While knocking off SIL was satisfying feel like the emperor just left them a giant fucking problem since she’s still alive.
C55 lol I KNEW she’d be caught by her dad And ahhhh the straightforward proposal! ❤️
C58 awww he snuck in to see her. And lol c-end; the downside to a bold straightforward girl. (And 😱😱😱 to how much her father trusts ML.)
C61 lol while I know the 八子 is BS yet I’m anxious theirs don’t match. I also don’t 100% understand the jade ring sent to the crown prince of the other country other than it being a warning(?). Their reunion was so cute & he’s so smitten & rushing these wedding ceremonial things.
C74 & the cherry. Heh first sweet/sexy then poor ML is tormented by the Yuan siblings 😹💯 I was wheeze laughing.
C80 glad he revealed the truth of the alter ego in their wedding night finally. (To the people calling her stupid for not figuring it out AYFKM. Nobody else did for years. And he did an amazing job hiding it.)
C92 yikes the princess was rebirthed too and is now the pregnant crown princess of an enemy state. This… seems like very bad news. Also creepy the emperor knew FL was pregnant before ML.
C95 😱 he’s going to reject oral?! 😹☠️
C98 eeee early labor?! ML has to be fine… right?! LOL to her MIL & SIL’s reactions 😹☠️ I literally LOL’d.
C99 JFC another book where the heir is stolen the night of his birth 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 😱😱😱 a literal cliff hanger (and damn poor FL kidnapped right after giving birth to twins)
C100 😳 did not expect the savior to be P6 here.
C102 😱😱😱 did that damn crown prince of NanZhou kidnap their son?! (Also fuck the emperor man.) Heh to clever ML.
C103 holy shit this complicated fake assassination and baby swap all just calmly dropped in this chapter other books it’d be like 1/3 the story. Not… 😅 sure what to think of this breast milk thing?
Gaaaah c110-113 so stressful!!! Omfg I’m actually super mad P6 dies. (And ugh his stupid mom 😖😖😖😫😫😫 she fucking killed him with her actions 😭😭😭)
C114 main story over. Oh my heart. Now I wish there was more of poor misunderstood P6.
Oof *clutches chest* the end of c118 - her letter.
Tựa Việt: "Thiếp định chàng rồi, quyết chẳng buông".
"Thiếp định chàng rồi, quyết chẳng buông" của Cố Liễu Chi kể về cô con quan Nguyên Tứ Nhàn nhờ giấc mơ mà thấy kết cuộc thê thảm của bản thân và gia đình đời trước, được sống lại một lần quyết tâm cải mệnh cứu gia đình. Tứ Nhàn bám đùi ông Phật to trong triều là Lục Thời Khanh, từ đó cả hai mới dây dưa qua lại, một lần dây dưa là cả một đời.
Cảm nhận của mình: 8-/10 (+) • truyện hành văn rất là tốt (cảm mơn nhà dịch); • sub-plot chính trị hay, siêu cuốn. Cuốn đến nỗi đang rửa chén mà ghiền quá phải ngưng lạii để đọc (xong bị mẹ phát hiện ra đang 'lacking' rùi la ỏm tỏi huhu)
Tuy nhiên, đối với mình, điểm trừ là (-) tuyến tình cảm cứ thiếu chân thành thế nào nên mình không cảm được chem; * Nguyên Tứ Nhàn trọng sinh hư tình giả ý tiếp cận quyền thần đảo khuynh triều chính Lục Thời Khanh (để thay đổi vận mệnh và điều tra cái chết của mình ở kiếp trước). Sau này Lục Thời Khanh có tình cảm với Tứ Nhàn thật, nhưng cổ đối đãi với ảnh vẫn là với hidden motive chứ không với chân tình, vì vậy mình nói “thiếu chân thành” là bởi khúc này. Cộng thêm nam chính bắt đầu thích nữ chính vì những thứ mình cảm thấy là physical quá (vì cổ đẹp, bắt đầu thích (?) khi tiếp xúc cơ thể zới cổ; not judging tho my man), mà gu mình thì thích mấy câu chuyện tình người hơn nên mình drop. Nguyên Tứ Nhàn cũng là một cô gái thông minh, thức thời; các nhân vật tương tác với nhau đều rất hợp tình hợp lý: (vd Cổ muốn giúp anh hoàng tử nào đang vướng vào âm mưu phe đối lập, cũng giúp một cách tinh tế, thông minh trong tình hình nhạy cảm chính trị; mình nhớ không lầm là vờ như tình cờ gặp ở Chùa xong đưa giỏ thức ăn qua, trong thức ăn có mảnh giấy nhắc nhở người ta)...
__________ Tựa đề nghe thơ quá trời, ai chuyển ngữ xin nhận của mình một tràng pháo tay __________ Đọc và drop trong 2 ngày: 6AM 21-22/11/2024
Hôm nay (tháng 10 2025) đọc tác phẩm thứ hai của Cố Liễu Chi là Động tâm xuân, cũng khá mong đợi vào văn phong của tác giả, hi vọng hợp gu mình hơn.
Yuan Ci Xian has a recurring dream that leads her to the capital. Lu Shi Qing wonders why the County Princess would need to wade into political affairs. Along the way, they fall in love.
Even with all that goes on, this book is mostly light-hearted. The rebirth does not feel like a rebirth, even though we know that it is I would have like some other extra stories on the backend, but I was ultimately fine with how it ended.
If you like, rebirth, women pursuing men, and clues being revealed in pieces, then this is for you.
