Transmigrated as the Villain’s Wife Chapter 119 Discussion

It's quite slow at the start and can be boring but it picks up around 20+ chapters. There are even funny parts that I can't help but be amused.

The story was very laid back for a 'fake and true child genre' but somehow I find everyone acceptable. The cast may not be the most rational but I guess the author did a great job narrating about their mentality. Whether it is them just plainly being emotional or ignorant due to the environment.

For example, there are indeed plenty of side characters that are watching the fun or jealous towards the main leads. But ultimately, those are just simple human feelings, they're jealous about superficial things and therefore that feeling is also shallow. Once they can't compare, ignored, or end up distracted with other things, they no longer hang around and exit. And I think that just normal, and such jealousy isn't enough to be so malicious. Unlike most novels where a simple jealousy was enough for a mob character to confront the leads until they die.

I actually also like that while some end up liking the lead since they're very beautiful, once they learn they're married, there's no sabotaging happening. Of course there's some sour words going around. People are indeed gossipy after all. But there are also some that realized that rather than trying so hard to climb up in marriage, it's better to have one similar to the leads where they're equal.

For other readers, they might think that many side characters were forgotten by the author. But as I said, maybe it's their writing, or maybe the tone set of the story that is laid back, but I can accept how plenty of side characters faded in the background. Because in reality, plenty of people are actually just random encounters and intersections. After that momentary intersection with the leads, everyone continue on their own lives and their ending didn't really matter to the leads as they also have their own lives.

As for the 'fake-real son', I think the author's handling of it was ok. It might seem like in the end, it just faded but truth be told, the whole thing was complicated and there's no real answer. The real mother of ML had biases but ultimately a mother, she wanted the child that she raised and also wanted this new biological child. Was she wrong? Yes and no. It's a very emotional thing but as everyone said to her, the peace she wanted was impossible and she learn that in a very heartbreaking way. None of the two child was at fault, but they couldn't co-exist. The grandparents choice for me was hard as they had to choose one and let go of the other. Anyway, I really like her mental struggles although I think some of it were just out of emotional distressed.

As for the O!ML, he's very hypocritical and spoiled but ultimately isn't a villain. He's used to being the favorite child, that behaved child that his mother unconditionally loved. So while he knew he's the faked child, he still wanted people to coax him. And while saying sensible things, he relied to his mother years of love so he's very confident inside. Although in the end he's disappointed and felt very wronged, I think he finally reflected and grow up. At least he realize he needed to do things himself. He kind of faded in the end so I guess he end up independent. I could only sigh that the mother emotional immaturity hurt but him and the ML. Their situation was difficult to handle already but this mother of them escalated it.

Anyway, I think it's ok. The culprit was sent to prison and no other innocent was dragged. The O!ML end is left to our imagination but I guess he did end up living independently which is already a good ending (though it would be nice if the author could show if he still have a bit of relationship with his now adopted mother. I just feel that while he's a hypocrite, he did have feelings to the mother that spoiled him). And for ML and his mother, it took years to at least able to interact normally and finally be able to get together in reunions.

Oh, I also just realized, the Jiang family was said to lack literacy talents and all have straight men esthetics but they all married people related to literacy and arts ahahaha

Elder brother married a pianist or something

Second brother married a novelist/editor

Third sister married an actor from the art troop that later turn into a music teacher

Our ML married MC who's into make up and fashion
