ever since i stared reading this novel it hasn't updated once! the site says it updates 7/week but??? there's nothing??? anyway, it's a pretty decent story if you can get past the start of it. the MC is kind of insufferable, but that's part of her "charm" i guess? at least, that's what the author is trying to sell us on. some of her decisions make no friggin' sense, though. especially when you take into consideration that she's a modern woman. she should have a lot more common sense ---but nope! nada. she's not particularly clever, either ---everyone else just kind of seems .... dumbed down? if that makes sense. the ML is also pretty frustrating, and a lot of the couple's problems could've been avoided if they just, like, idk, communicated? (though, you do learn why, exactly, he was so cautious and unyielding with info/affection as you read along.) i'm pretty hooked though, so there's that. if you can stomach the beginning, definitely give this one a read. hopefully, updates will pick up soon.

This is a novel with a female protagonist who transmigrates directly into a "bridal chamber" in another world (there's a backstory to how the original body ended up there), and meets up with the cold, handsome, competent male lead (the usual trope). She uses her previous hobby of cooking to make new delicious dishes, impresses the male lead, and accompanies him in his (and her own) struggles. Has a few similarities to female protagonist cooking novels like "Here comes the lady chef" and "The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor" (though the stories are very different). Worth a read if you haven't read similar novels, but for experienced readers in this genre, it offers nothing novel or exemplary.

I honestly don't understand all this hate. Sure the description does not really make sense but this is straight out disrespecting author, translators and even qidian for having this novel on their site. If you don't see it interesting the just don't read it's that ****** and people can vote to whatever they want too

A big warning about this novel: if you dislike rape don't read the first chapter. This starts completely different then what you would expect from the title and description. I regret voting for this novel now. I'm out.

Melodramatic soap-opera with a heavy helping of 'rape-****'. (Soap-operas are popular tho - so if that is your jam... try it out) Now for all the stuff that made me hate it: - The "time-travel" part is mere setup with historical anachronisms EVERYWHERE. - The tone whipsaws from campy porno to foodie adventure to gritty rape drama. Often within a single chapter! - The main male lead is either a misogynistic criminal or... a undercover good guy. Pick one or the other book! (You can't have your bad boy cake and eat it too) - The rape. - The very pervy way the book lingered on (multiple) rape scenes. Complete with moans, and the girl "secretly liking it". - The way the book tries to justify the rape by being "historical". Gave it a three simply because the translators did a great job.

Hehe, this is how Quidan is try to prevent <<crazy detective>> getting bullied like <<a valiant life>> though. They know that our energy stones are going to be dispersed making the oldest novel get into the chart. However, they did not play as good as when they made <<a valiant life>> into the chart😂😂😂

Cooking and comedy are my kind of thing. I just hope the storyline is good. Too bad though there isn't much information from the synopsis. On the positive note, the cover photo is kinda catchy so I think I give this one a try. (if it doesnt require any spirits yet 😅)

Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess

last installment now serializing! just search 'The transmigrated Villainess after her fall' Add to lib and vote!!!! Thank you all!!!!!!! WARNING: MATURE CONTENT CHAPTER EXCERPT -- “Wait, someone might see.” Charlton said, recalling the glass window. “I’m prepared for that.” Serena replied as she bent to open her bag on the floor and then took out a film like looking sticker. “I found this at the market yesterday.” “I must say that I’m ill-prepared for this.” He noted as he furrowed his brows. Serena stood up and gave him the sticker. Then she placed her right hand on the bulge of his pants, directly gripping his erection. “Well, I must say that you’re not. Now, do place the sticker on the window.” — Serena Chen lived a life filled with love and success, while devoid of any hardship. So, when it was time to go, she went peacefully. However, as if fate was playing its game on her, she opened her eyes again only to discover that she has transmigrated as Serena Maxwell, the villainess in the novel "A Cinderella story in Victorian fantasy era" written by her very own granddaughter. Set in a Victorian-esque era, Serena Lilianne Maxwell was the only daughter of the Ducal house of Maxwell. She was rich, beautiful, a little haughty, and the fiancé of the crown prince. Every lady wants to be her, but sadly, the crown prince, Geoffrey, fell in love with Emily Evans, the daughter of an impoverished Baron. Seeing how young and beautiful she was again, her only thought was, since she already lived her past life as a normal decent lady, why not live as a semi-wanton lady of the era to fulfill her fantasies? Thus, she set her sights on her first target, Charlton Daniel, the only son of the duke of Suffox, cousin of the crown prince, and the original novel's second male lead. After some twists and turns, like any other sappy romantic story, the two inevitably fell in love. However, contrary to the novel's original plot, Geoffrey, the crown prince, who Serena was still politically engaged to, fell for her. It would have been less complicated if the engagement was not one ordained by the king, but it was. With this situation, what would Charlton and Serena have to do and what sacrifices must they make, to get to their happily ever after? Join them to find out. -- This novel will have romance, adventure, comedy, friendship, betrayal, politics, drama, smut, and so much more. (This will be a feast for historical drama and music lovers) Just for clarification, the world Serena transmigrated to is a Victorian-esque era so it's not exactly historically accurate. Timelines may be jumbled specially when it comes to some technological advances, but I try to keep them as realistic as possible. BTW, if anyone is curious about the age, this is more historically accurate. People in Victorian era marries on average, 26 for male, and never dropped lower than 22 for female. PS Cover art not mine, just edited by me PSS This is an original story I wrote — I also wish to thank Stephanie who made this MV for our Serena Charlton ship. If anyone’s interested, please just search in youtube: Serena charlton against all odds Or if you are geoffrey serena shipper she also made these MVs: Geoffrey & Serena part(1) Geoffrey & Serena part(2) Geoffrey & Serena part(3) and Geoffrey & Serena part (4) Thank you!!! — Volume 3 will be dark so if you dont like then just stop reading in volume 2.

Pampered by the Toughest Man After Divorce

(My new book "Sweet Love in the Countryside: His Little Plum of the Mountains" is out now, please add it to your collection) The village leader's son bullied her too much — in order to break off their engagement, he pushed her into a large water tank. She defiantly declared in front of the village leader's son that she would rather marry the ugliest man in the village than marry him! That hunchbacked, ugly man, the so-called "freak," actually approached her: "Does your declaration still stand?" "Uhm..." And so, while you hunt, I water the vegetables; while you farm, I do the embroidery. Together, we work hard, become prosperous, and live a colorful and thriving life. However, this man who can hunt in the mountains, farm on land, and ride the waves on a boat is not as simple as he seems... he is actually...

Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

The regent of the Tianxia Kingdom, who had control over a huge army and ruled over a powerful kingdom, was never close to women. One day, he was poisoned again and nearly died. While everyone worried that he had no successors, a kid who looked exactly like he was brought to the palace gate. Only then did they recall that, five years ago, when the regent was poisoned for the first time, the Yu family's eldest daughter was kidnapped and brought to him for auspicious reasons. Since they shared similar fates, she did everything she could to help rid him of the poison. However, on the day he awakened, the royal family plotted against her, and she disappeared mysteriously. The regent's eyes became dim when he saw the kid. "Did your mother finally decide she couldn't forget about me and ask you to return in her stead?" The kid clenched his jaws. "No! The young prince of Xichu will marry the eldest princess, who is my mother, in a few days. My mother asked me to come and check if you're still alive. She doesn't want you to die on the day she gets married. It's bad luck." After he finished his sentence, the regent picked him up and walked out with big strides. "Don't worry. I won't die on your mother's wedding day. After all... I've got a wedding to crash."
