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.

Thank you, because of the tags "comedy" "rape" I thought this makes no sense and read some reviews. Your is so far the best in answering my questions. So, I'll skip this book, I want to feel good when I read a book, rape is nothing I want to associate with fun. Thanks for the good review!

I actually commend you on making it to chapter 10. oO I barely made it past three. Double-plus upvote from me for your list.

Theres 1 rape scene. Then sex scenes. But he only actually rapes her once. In the beggining because he needed to make sure his cover wasnt blown. Read it before you dish it

I did read it. Don't care if the author wrote her "enjoying" the rest of the *** scenes - she did NOT consent to them! Unless you consider "consent" in the broadest possible terms of "did not commit suicide/homicide to prevent action from occurring". A mere lack of active resistance does NOT mean that consent was granted.

Honestly. The story warned it would be graphic. I dont understand why its such a big deal. If it can happen in real life then it can happen in a story. But at least the story isnt real life. Trust me when i say i would rayher read about rape and abuse in a story then be the victim in real life. Its hard to deal with. I know first hand. Besides i like how it puts a real peice of life into this fantasy. Life isnt fair, and for the time period in the novel, i say the author did a great job.

The second I got to the rape scene and she just blew it off I just couldn’t read on. If the very FIRST chapter was like this imagine the rest.

So raping once does not matter? The whole setting of rape victim becoming lovers feels so wrong to me at least.

The situation called for said rape to happen but as they were forced to get to know each other they grew feelings. Plus he made up for it. And he did say it was the only way to keep his cover so his plan would work. He is also making up for it now trying to win her the right way.

😳Are you truly serious with your comment? “Only raped her once?”😳 You do know the meaning of “RAPED” right? I presumed that your either benighted or RAPE is a norm to your kind... right? FANTASTIC 👌🏼😳

Yes i know what RAPE means. This is not only a FICTIONAL place and world. But its also FAKE. if it was a real story like news or a documentary or something in the REAL world i would be seriously offended. but its only a fictional setting with a hint of real life difficulties. Ive personally have been molested. I know what it feels like to be violated. It sucks and its gross. But this story is fake. This story is driven by life like senarios to create depth and drama. The story isnt about rape. It isnt about real life. You have tons of stories that go farther than that. But real rape is wrong. Dont dis the whole novel based on one scene. Thats unfair.

😐are you really rationalizing your twisted comment ( Only raped her once?) ? Then you really are beyond damage in the head. You’re missing a great point... it’s neither “Fiction nor Non-Fiction” story... Raped is something that is crude, disgusting, violent and a crime. Other individuals are sensitive, uncomfortable, and infuriated by it especially the victims that have been raped, or violated in any other ways. Why do you think a lot of books, movies, etc. are being rated? Ponder on that. And one more thing, RAPIST or PREDATORS are more likely to say a comment like yours ( Only Raped Her Once...)

Have you been raped or molested? I have. Thats why i HAVE to make light of this. So maybe your right. Maybe im messed up. You wouldnt be the first person who thought i was. I thought it a long time ago. But. I cannot change the past. And i certainly cant change that one scene. So why make a big deal out of it? I have been molested and to this day i cannot go a day without thinking i am broken or messed up. I am filthy and i am not innocent. I have to remind myself that as a 20yr old now i will have desires that are normal. I have to get reassurance from my boyfriend. I have major anxiety and i get depressed. I have to make jokes about my own dad being in jail because thats the only way i can cope with losing him and having him take my child like love and innocence for her father down the drain. Please dont think bad of me because if i dont think lightly about this fake stuff then my real problems are too much to bear. The weights already bad enough i already get pitty apologies and wierd looks because i am different and abused. I hate being pittied. I dont do it because i want to be different or difficult. Rape and molestation are real problems. But its worse if it has happened to you. Sometimes people like me need to make a real and fake rather than making one big pile of bad. Call me what you will. But im not lying about this. If i make the world rape real every time i see it. I dont think i would be able to live or function like a normal human being.

Look. Im sorry if i sound derannged. But im honest when i say if i make fictional rape a big deal, then i am making my life a big deal. I get very anxious and i just like the whole rest of the story. Go ahead and call me a rapist or a preditor. And im sorry. I was molested by my own dad and i think i should die. But there are people who tell me i am normal and i am not a monster. Im sorry i am still trying to cope with my life and i cant do that without going to this story and that scene and saying that this particular setting and description of event is completely fake and fiction.

Be4 u say Hw I know this my friend legit imagined her husband doing this to her. U might not mind it but others do.

Rape is a big deal - if you are making light of your own memories to deal with them.... that is a valid coping stragity! Just like wight lifting, you need time and practice to work your way up to the really heavy stuff. Good luck on your journey.

it's fine if you want to make light of your own or fictional stories SA, but quit tryna convince others to think as stupidly as you. You're like that guy who made and uploaded a story glorifying and downplaying pedophilia because he had experienced grooming before. it's not the excuse you think it is, trust me.

Venomous Empress Reborn

# scumtorturing # rebirth She was a daughter of the general’s family and a gentle woman. She fell for Prince Ding and offered to be his wife. After supporting him for six years, she became his empress. After risking being a hostage in a foreign country, she returned five years later to find that she no longer had a place in his imperial harem. Lying in his arms, the new consort said with a sneer, “Sis, now that the country is stable, it’s time for you to die.” Her daughter died a tragic death and her son was removed as crown prince. The Shen family had been loyal, but they ended up being slaughtered. Shen Miao never thought that their marriage and mutual support all this while would end up being just an act Prince Ding put on! Prince Ding said, “On account that you’ve been with me for twenty years, I’ll allow you to die with your entire body intact. Now you may thank me and hang yourself to death.” Before she hung herself, Shen Miao made a resentful oath, “When I perish, I will haunt you day and night!” She was reborn as her fourteen year old self when the tragedies had yet to occur and her family was still intact. She was still the delicate and elegant daughter of a general’s family. Her relatives were evil, her cousin sisters were vicious and ruthless, and her aunties were eyeing her possessions. She had to protect her family, take revenge, and get back what belonged to her. In this life, she would be the last one standing! However, the Xie family’s young marquis, an unruly youth, pushed her up against the wall and said arrogantly, “Remember, the world belongs to you, and you belong to me!” The thirteen cities of You State… belong to you. The city of Dingyuan in Mobei… belongs to you. Yuzhou by the Yangtze River, the East Sea of Dingxi, the Green Lake of Lin’an, and Luoyang City… they all belong to you. If they all belong to me, what will you take, Xie Jingxing? Hmm… you. At first, he said impassively, “There has always been a clear distinction between the Shen and Xie family. For the Shen family’s daughter to suddenly show us goodwill, she must have ill intentions!” Then, he said calmly, “We're all on the same boat. Shen Miao, behave yourself. Who would have the audacity to force you into a marriage while I’m around?” After that, he said proudly, “Overthrowing an empire isn’t that hard. My dear, how shall we divide this great piece of land?” Finally, he waved his hand domineeringly. “Sweetheart, dividing them is too much work. Forget it! They’re all yours, and you are mine!” Shen Miao yelled, “Get out!” A domineering empress who was reborn and a young delinquent marquis. Both leads are righteous and they dote on each other.
