The FL here was previously an assassin and had transmigrated on her new body either as a baby or as a young child. Her mother died early and was sent to a monastery from there as a young child she worked her way up in being a member of a mercenary/assassin group in ancient times and was summoned back to marry into another kingdom for an alliance. The pace is okay for me (it might be too fast for the others) and pretty straight-forward too. I do think it's a good read. I checked and its up to 600 chapters and completed. Chinese Title: 替嫁火风：暴君私宠小妖后

How the male lead treat the MC is quite hateful He fell for the appearance and treated her like some kind of an object. Doesn't consider her feelings at all. He has no RESPECT for her. The MC is quite problematic also she even still has the (feeling of falling in love) despite he blackmailed, drugged and molest her, like the heck?! But that can be consider since, she is full of IQ and has low/0(in my opinion) EQ so I'll just leave my review here to let you something's about this book (Not a persuasion to not read this book but to inform you how s***** in my perspective the characters are)

I really enjoyed it as first as it seemed like it might be a breath of fresh air in a stale genre, but the moment the ML showed up left me disgusted, and from what other people have said it doesn't look like it gets better. with an abusive ML the author expects us like just because he's handsome and the fact that he is abusive and only likes the FL because she's pretty and seems to have no redeeming qualities yet the FL still falls for him, from what ive seen people say this is not a FL will fix the cruel ML type novel (which i also have issues with)
READERS BEWARE OF THIS NOVEL! I almost read 200 episodes but I can't continue anymore. I thought the ML was finally changing when the FL left him after her friend/sister/maid was crippled. But instead he ended up being worse than before. The ML is basically an overbearing psychotic rapist. Not only did he kidnap, imprison, black mail, drug, mentally and sexually abuse the female lead now he is also physically abusing her. The whole time I felt like I was reading a graphic episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. The kind that just makes your skin crawl at how the villan is portrayed as the "dashing and handsome" ML and every horrendous thing he does to the FL is seen as "romantic" and "testament of his love" to others. This is not love...it's a twisted kind of obsession he has over her. He doesn't respect her, he manipulates her however he wants and basically just treats her as a *** slave. This type of novel is the perfect example of how stockholm syndrome is developed in the victims...in this case, the victim is the FL. I feel so bad for the FL. After every thing she suffered in her previous and current life she ends up in a very oppressive and abusive marriage to the ML. I regret all the time and coins I used in reading this. If I knew the ML would be doing all those atrocious things to the FL, I wouldn't have bothered reading this novel. I don't want to continue reading this toxic "love" story where the FL ends up with her rapist. The description of the novel should have a warning to the readers of how abusive the ML is. Not everyone wants to read a novel with a toxic and twisted love plot. I really wish I could get a refund of all the coins I used.
It's disgusting that this is ranked 19th on the power rankings or whatever. The ML is abusive, the second male lead (possibly) who's just been introduced is abusive. I don't care if there is some grand back-story that they all knew each other in their past reincarnations and both MLs were in love with her, it's DISGUSTING how they constantly try to control the FL without ever considering her to be a living person with her own wants and desires. ML's guards are disgusting too - the molest the evil princess of the FL's country - I don't care how horrible, arrogant and ruthless she was, NOTHING can justify sexual harassment and abuse. Author has some seriously f*cked up ideas about romance. Avoid at all costs. I'm not even going to give this a fair rating (the translation quality is okay) because the plot is so disgusting.
Tbh I read some of it... and I couldn’t no matter what bring myself to like the ml. He’s doesn’t love her... he likes her looks. I bet that if she was an ugly duckling he wouldn’t try anything. He wants her but I’ve yet to see proof that he loves her.
It seems like this is going to be a very good book to read. the main character is so lovable yet beey capable and deadly. she has her motives and the evil prince has his
Uhh...first if all the ML is a total jerk. Seriously all he thinks about is sexual intercourse. The FL is okay i guess....though its kinda stupid how she does a disguise but doesn't think to disguise her maid. Tbh I don't really recommend it. It's just kinda stupid overall.

I love the fact that she rebirth as a babyb and start to build her own strength .its so different than story.it was good until the ml appear. Tyrant, abuser, molester, lustful and evil. The only good thing is he is powerful than FL. The FL is very powerful until she meet ml turn into trash that can do nothing and foolish.she turn into masochist.she might suffer from Stockholm syndrome. I stop read it until chapter 172 coz the ml stil abusing the FL.i can't count how many times he squeezed her neck and molest her body .seriusly not a good novel.
Nothing new in the 60 chapters so far..the male lead is overbearing and doesn't take no when it comes to physical intimacy..he basically molests the fl..may be there will be more facets to the male lead character if I continue reading this story but I'm not gonna waste my breath..I'm not a fan of this kind of behaviour irrespective of situations that they grew up in.
Book is nothing else but a way to show how rapists make their victims fall in love wiTh the. so sweet isn’t it, And here our victim is supposed to be a strong assasi g, a powerful clan learder, but she has negative IQ few pretty fireballs, and self healing abilities . Also out powerful MC instead of getting revenge with her power thatcmakes the enemy feel regret, she behaves like a psycho and kills her enemies while the still hate her and don’t regret anything about their own wrongdoing. Like why Am i reading this? I want to ask all 5 star reviewers What on earth was lovable in this book? I can’t read more than 170 chapters, i thought atleast ML will stop his abuse towards MC when she first time cried in humiliation! But no that guy actually liked it! If this is not mentality of rapist what is? I thought ML would go on right path achieve her love for him nicely, which may stop MC from atleat behaving like psycho. Being merciless, is different from being a cruel psychopath.

WARNING TO READERS— DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THE HIGH RATINGS!! ABUSIVE AF ML AND DUBIOUS CONSENT! This story, as others have mentioned, had potential and the synopsis sounds like itd be a great read: reborn FL who is slightly OP and a doting, even more powerful ML? Fun, Right? Dead wrong. The ML from the very beginning denies the FL’s wishes and constantly forces himself on her. Her consent is NEVER given, at any point, and we’re supposed to forgive it all bc of how handsome and cool he is? No. DNF @ 41
I just can't get over the fact that the male lead is abusive and doesn't love the female lead. From what I've read in other reviews tgis dosen't even get better .... So much potential, such a waste
At first I was like, "Oh, a beautiful mysterious and overpowered FL. That's good." Then suddenly the ML entered the story. At first I tried to endure the ML's abusive love, if we can really call it love. But I have to dropped it at chapter 153 because I can't tolerate it anymore. I was looking for a doting ML who respect and trust the FL And an FL who firmly holds her ground and independent but not like this. I honestly thought that there's some changes in the author because the start of the story is somehow good but when the FL lived in the ML's palace, the character development as well as the writing style changed a lot. The ML doesn't really understand how to woo the FL. He always forced her, to the extent of locking her up, starving her and choking her. Yet, the FL still felt something for him. Two words: TOXIC RELATIONSHIP. Sorry not sorry. I can't continue this anymore. I manage to reached 153 chapters not because I enjoyed it but I honestly hoped for some changes but whether there'll be changes later on, I couldn't care less anymore.

awful. if you don't like dozens of chapters of sexual assault followed by the ML whining that the female lead doesn't like him and he can't figure out why give this a pass.
Not worth reading abuse ML and I hated the part were the FL is falling in love with him even when he shows no love/respect towards her. I hate these kinds of stories where the abuser gets a happy ending
This story is extremely confusing and choppy. There is bo proper flow feom scene to scene as it reads as if there are missing chapters or something. I only started to read it to get experience points but i couldn’t bear to finish it for even that long
I’m an engineering student. I visited a book store yesterday and I saw a book named “How to become engineer without reading any book?”. I didn’t buy that because I want to become engineer without reading any book.
