Married to Another Man

This software should have a rule that all books that are delayed should be free. What happens to the chapters we paid for if the author keeps reading and then suddenly cancels? And this author seems to consistently delay every book, then just starts a new one with a different account. I just don't understand why they would cancel a book when it's doing well. Are they just trying to take advantage of honest people?

Reading Volume 2, Chapter 20, I realized the true weight of the phrase "love yourself first, love your partner"—it's utterly disgusting. Author, did you even realize you shouldn't let personal emotions get into your writing? Why include domestic violence if you want to write pure love? Were you a victim of domestic violence in real life? Or do you believe domestic violence is pure love? This domestic violence scene makes the preceding emotional descriptions look like clowns, and the characters involved also become clowns. Then, unable to justify it later, you resort to distorting your values to try and avoid looking so clownish. But the reality is that domestic violence is an unhealable wound in a relationship. No matter how much sweet talk you use to cover it up, it's still a wound, and it can never truly heal...

As a poor, lazy old man, it's been a long time since I've read such a refreshing novel. Everything flows naturally, everything is just right. It perfectly utilizes the advantages of the first-person perspective in emotional resonance and immersion, unlike some rambling essays that just talk for the sake of talking. From the carefree nature of her early marriage, to her decisive actions in the power struggles within the household, to her resourceful thinking while defending the city, and the handling of marital conflicts, the novel skillfully weaves together her thoughts and feelings. This not only enriches the characters but also makes Mingya increasingly endearing. Imagine, in this life, if you could meet such a reasonable and thoughtful woman, no matter how you...

I really should have read the comments section before reading, instead of blindly jumping in based on recommendations. First of all, the writing is excellent, truly superb. Because the writing is so good, I naturally empathized with the protagonist. Actually, while reading the first volume, I felt the protagonist was a bit too cautious. I dare say, in her husband's eyes, she was the perfect wife. But was it really necessary? She's a modern person, originally a man; was it necessary to suppress herself and be so cautious? Yes, she transmigrated to ancient times, a time of male dominance. But excessively suppressing herself to be a perfect wife/daughter-in-law, and slightly relaxing...

It could be considered a literary work, but unfortunately, it was submitted to the wrong platform. Most people on this platform are emotionally vulnerable and sensitive, and likely wouldn't be able to accept the plot. Furthermore, under the immense oppression of a feudal society, it's practically impossible not to be assimilated; that's just how reality is. It's like how many people, as they live, eventually become the most detestable kind of people.

Location: Volume 2, Chapter 20, the highlight of QEAW's story. First, a positive review: Excellent writing, even just reading the free parts is definitely worthwhile. The writing style surpasses 95% of other ancient-style novels. This author is not suitable for this platform; I suggest you ascend to Jinjiang Literature City soon and unleash your fury on the literary world. Some initial impressions: Zhao Er is a high-quality male by ancient standards; he is also a "villain" by modern standards—don't say it's a fictional setting, because the readers are modern Chinese. On a complex social level, he is an excellent, high-quality male; in terms of character development, he is a three-dimensional and well-rounded protagonist, but in the subtleties of romantic relationships, he is a man of two thousand years of experience...

What story does the first volume tell? It's the story of a once-confident woman, standing out from the crowd, who is gradually assimilated by feudal society under the oppression of feudal ethics and clan. What story does the second volume tell? It's the story of a woman with no relatives or friends, who succumbs to violence and ultimately becomes a subservient figure to men. From the female protagonist's perspective, I see no sweetness, only a pervasive sense of oppression without a glimmer of hope, and a gradual succumbing to this oppression, a self-taming and degeneration. From the male protagonist's perspective, I see, "Look, I subdued this woman with my big ○ stick, how much I love her, how sweet our relationship is..."

The female protagonist is perfectly portrayed. Some might argue that she embodies the patriarchal values of ancient times, lacking any independent thought. However, I believe this is precisely her strength. The story is set in a feudal dynasty, making it impossible for her to act like a man. Yet, she manages to maintain a respectable public image while simultaneously demonstrating her ambition, which is admirable. Similarly, the author creates a male protagonist who is highly skilled in martial arts, ambitious, but lacks finesse, thus highlighting the female protagonist's resourcefulness and supportive nature. Their complementary strengths are essential for achieving great things. The battle descriptions are also remarkably detailed, depicting the suicidal struggles...

Reading over a million words in two days is truly a sin. Although it felt a bit rushed, the advantage was that it ensured overall coherence. This is my first time writing a long review of a novel by Pineapple Bun. I've been reading Pineapple Bun's works for several years, mostly his works on transformation novels, marriage novels, and yuri novels, so I suppose I have some qualifications to write reviews. I'll just briefly share my thoughts. First, the plot: overall, the pacing is good, the connections are seamless, the concept is ingenious, the plot is intricately conceived, and it's captivating. Unlike other transformation novels, it doesn't particularly emphasize the psychological descriptions of the initial male-to-female transformation. In my opinion, this transformation is just a bonus; its advantage is that it allows for more...

This isn't a book review. I just read up to Chapter 97 of Volume 3, where the female protagonist, as a beneficiary of the landlord class, felt guilty about speaking out against the class differences of the poor. I spent a long time typing a long comment on the forum, and I didn't want to waste it, so I'm posting it here as well. Everyone can discuss it together... I think this kind of thing should be viewed within the broader context. Being able to do better than other lords, considering the lower classes when planning and acting, already makes her a truly virtuous person. Feudalism is backward and cruel, but productivity determines relations of production. This is the inevitable result of the low productivity of an agricultural society combined with private ownership. Even as a beneficiary, the female protagonist doesn't need to...
