Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

this completed story has a total of 889 chapters and it's other name is sweet and pampered military marriage:spare me, commander! The FL has special powers and she becomes a beauty by 600th chapter according to the world setting and the relation btw ml and fl is sweet and hidden. the last 80 chapters are very painful and made me have nightmares for some days and there are 2 major white lotuses as her hindrance so all in all the novel is okay

This is one of the most disgusting books I’ve e ever read. I honestly would not recommend it and it suprises me that there are people who like it. Ml blames the fl for raping her, even the author is body shaming obese people, ml lets his bodyguard speak however he likes to fl yet claims to “love” her according to the fl though. There is even a lot of darker skin color shaming. To me the guy just has psycho tendencies and i really disLike how these authors romanticise these qualities. It would be a horror for someone overweight to read this book, I can’t imagine the hate they’d give themselves cause of people like this. Terrible book,

So, the FL has gone back in time and the ML is a violent yandere. We learn that in the FL's previous life, he would lock her up and forcefully take her when he was angered by her. In her past life, she was in love with someone else, but the ML refused to let her go. So, he's a true yandere. The author tries to make it romantic -- you know, it's because of his deep love for her that he can't let her go, he even died to protect her, he loves her even when she's fat and disfigured, yada, yada, yada. Despite being mistreated, the FL realizes that she loves the ML after he dies in order to protect her. When she goes back in time, she decides to love the ML properly. The ML spoils her once she starts "treating him properly," the guy she loved in her past life was scum that was using her, etc., etc. The author uses all this to try and redeem the ML. Despite the trainwreck of an ML, I kept reading this because I love second chance stories and the FL truly had a pitiful life. Well, I wish I hadn't wasted my time. There are a lot of little issues in the story, but I'll bring up the two that bother me the most: 1. The butterfly effect doesn't happen where it should. For example, it's stressed over and over again that in the past life, despite being treated poorly, the FL would always cover for her abusive family and never talked badly about them, so the ML never suspected she was being abused. This time, she's more open about how they treat her. One of the consequences is that the ML cancels an $80 million contract he gave her family's company. Well, when the family tries to get it back, the FL reminisces about how they also tried to do so in her past life. But in her past life, why would the ML take back the contract out of anger if the FL always covered for them? This is just one example. There are multiple instances where things should only be happening because of changes the FL made, yet the author claims they happened in her past life. To me, it seems like the author wanted the FL to be able to use her past life as an advantage that they didn't really commit to the butterfly effect. 2. This is a big spoiler that hasn't been translated as of writing this review. I found out through MTL, so don't read on if you haven't gotten past the 500s! The big twist is that the FL's sister (Manxue) and mom aren't actually her sister and mom. Her real mom's twin (FakeMom) killed her and took her place. The problem? The FL's sister is older than her. If Manxue is older, then how did FakeMom trick her twin into thinking that was her actual child? Plus, the FL's mom wasn't actually killed secretly until the FL was older, so FakeMom left Manxue with her twin for so long? I'm trying to wrap my head around how all of this works. I guess I'll have to wait for the real TL to see if there's a reasonable explanation. It would make more sense if Manxue was younger. I'm baffled that the author did it this way if she was going to include this twist.

I completed reading this novel elsewhere, however, the work that the translation team does here is impeccable. The quality you have here is another level; had it not been for my anxious and curious persona, I would have waited patiently for the translation to be completed. Believe me, a translation greatly influences greatly in the reading experience. The development of the novel is decent and well managed, each problem presented by the author is solved over the course of 889 chapters and honestly, this is one of the Chinese novels that should have more than a thousand chapters with good reason. The personality of each character, including Bai Qinhao (our ML) seems to be set in stone, yet, the dynamics are matured over time according to the interactions and situations related to Xinxin (our FL). I believe that the author was very careful with the information that they presented throughout novel, and they solved it in an egalitarian way and that kind of left me wanting more. Due to Bai Qinhao's unrelenting love for Xinxin and the fact that she has reborn, their relationship was already halfway through, and along the obstacles, it just matured and became more remarkable. This is an almost realistic novel, as the author considered the lack of equality in the couple's status and went to great lengths to establish Xinxin's place as herself and as Madam Bai in the High Society and in the Bai family. Also bringing Xinxin's difficulty in having children a moving, real and even understandable thing - considering her entire journey in avenging her real family and paying her enemies. As for Bai Qinhao's behavior, it was certain that he was wrong in taking Xinxin's virginity forcibly in a hospital. But considering the sordid and twisted character of several other main characters in Chinese novels that I see being motivated and glorified. Bai Qinhao is the 'most decent'. In addition, throughout the entire novel, he remained at Xinxin's side, never unnecessarily questioning her, allowing her to grow and providing unflattering support.

I love this transmigration plots, and this one is certainly one of the most exciting ones. The fact that she was originally fat and ugly (not hidden under ugly make-up but due to poison) makes the transition to improve even better. The insecurities are real and seeing her working hard to overcome them and rise up is great. Some may be put off by the r*pe in the beginning, but pls carry on. Nothing is pure black and white, and though r*pe is bad, his reasons are understandable. Mind you, doesn't make it right, but you can understand his pain and loss of rationale for a while. He is human, she is, too. They are both flawed in some sense and that is what makes this novel so captivating. I hope this novel gets picked. It is a gem and I reached the end before realising it. It was THAT good.
