    Thank you, you saved me from powering through several chapters waiting for character development from the ML. I normally can handle the worst of the worst ML, but this one takes the cake. I could barely get past their meeting it was so bad. I was even pacing on each paragraph, picking apart how different it could be approached. I was quite literally close to tearing my hair out.

    Shishi-odoshi aka the bamboo water fountain. This is what it looks like.

    I did a bit of research and my wording should be corrected. it's not good to forcefully sweat out a fever, but it's also not good to drastically change your body’s temperature. Unless it is an extremely high fever to requires medical treatment, you can simply wear lighter cloths, take a lukewarm bath, and go to bed with a light blanket (this is taking account that this is historical and not modern time where nearly everyone has a fever reducer). Due to the wording the author or translator chose, it was confusing to me on what they were going for, and it came out like youthful ignorance that didn't even bother to fully explain. There are many types of fevers with different variations on treatment level and just using one classification for them all, does not sound like what the author is trying portray her as. Someone who is knowledgeable in the medical arts. Be that as it may, as someone doesn't get enough fevers to be considered knowledgeable, I just found this to be an odd writing choice. Sorry for how lengthy this got.

    "No, you can't cover up someone who's running a fever," Murong Yu stated, changing the cold compress on Ji Chengxuan's forehead.

    Turn off your brains for this one my friends, it's historical but it kinda reads like a modern day novel. It's a nice casual read, but that's all it is so far.

    On the way back, Murong Yu couldn't help but ponder, 'Why is Gu Zhihan, the eldest son of the Gu family, in the capital? And how had he suffered such grievous injuries while here?'

    "He might have taken me hostage, but he did no harm. Even before fainting, he removed the dagger from my neck," Murong Yu said, disregarding their concerns as she stepped into the room.

    The more I read, the more I feel this is just a self insert novel.

    Murong Yu grinned, a bit embarrassed. She thought, 'Aman's tone when she curses was uncannily similar to mine. In my past life, even when Ji Chengxuan forced me into humiliating positions, I would call him shameless. Ji Chengxuan would laugh it off and say my cursing sounded like coquettishness. It irritates me even more, but he'd just laugh and roll around on the bed with me.'

    I'm pretty sure indecisive and lacks decisiveness are the same thing.

    "Xu Chang'an is a good person, and he does like you; I won't deny either of these facts," Murong Yu looked at Princess Anyang and continued, "But he is indecisive and lacks decisiveness. Do you think he can handle the conflicts between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law? He can't. He would only urge you to be magnanimous and to be filial to his mother. You might be willing to do so, but that doesn't change the fact that his mother has a twisted mentality."

    I do wonder what dynasty this takes place in, because if I remember correctly most if not all dynasties found it hard if not impossible for women to divorce, even if they were daughters of the emperor.

    When Princess Anyang learned of Murong Yu's situation, she immediately advised Murong Yu to divorce.

    Note to self, bullying = bedroom activies.

    When Murong Yu was sent to become Ji Chengxuan's concubine, she was petrified. Yet, he bullied her behind closed doors to the point where she often wept. No one dared to even give her a sideways glance in public.

    Later, Murong Yu applied the same method to treat several children who had high fevers while she was accumulating good deeds in the charity hall. So, she was very familiar with how to lower a fever.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't fevers better sweated out? Perhaps the problem was the breathability of the blanket?

    Ah, reading too many well planned books with copious amounts of research put into them has spoiled me. Normally in a noble household who has all its ducks in a row, this so called big problem can be handled with ease. No need for unnecessary chatter with the servants, they know the drill because it has been drilled into them before they even started working. And even mentioning the possible damage to the reputation is completely unnecessary.

    Murong Yu said, "Although she brought this upon herself, she is a maid in my courtyard. If word gets out, my reputation will also be tarnished. So, Nanny Xu, you must handle this discreetly."

    This relationship stinks of miscommunication.

    Murong Yu didn't dare to talk back and allowed Ji Chengxuan to scold her. But in her heart, she grumbled; no matter how well she took care of herself, she wouldn't be able to conceive. If she dared voice even a hint of this, he would ensure she'd never accomplish anything, so she just put up with his reprimands.

    At this point, he just sounds like a tsundere who doesn't know how to express himself or was never taught the proper way to me.

    Once, Murong Yu had worked herself sick. Ji Chengxuan had become furiously enraged, accusing her of not taking care of herself, which was why they had no children.

    I swear if there is no reason other than narcissism that caused her hatred, I'm calling lazy writing!

    'One day, I will trample Murong Yu underfoot.' Murong Rui vowed inwardly.

    Or a coin toss that decides violence is the only option. (*´▽`*)

    It was due to the rain festival being delayed and pushed back into next month. After all, one can not go against mother nature when she wishes to change your plans.

    Man, I need his point of view, not hers. I feel hers is untrustworthy. But the reincarnated probably fudged that all up. Not unless the author cuts corners puts it in dreams. Which I would happily accept! Give me those juicy details!

    But only Murong Yu knew how desperately Ji Chengxuan wanted her to bear a child, so much so that it drove him insane. Even if her menstrual cycle was delayed by a day, he would joyfully reward the servants. If she had a poor appetite or nausea, he would also be elated and reward the cooks. But the disappointment afterward would bring storms, making everyone too afraid to even breathe...

    Seriously...

    "There's no need for me anymore," Dr. Wang said, packing away his medicine. "This man may look as skinny as a bamboo pole, but his constitution is remarkably strong. Most would have died instantly from such injuries. These are wound dressings; change them every three days. However, keep an eye out for a fever."
