The Beloved Imperial Consort Chapter 81 Discussion

It is still early, but I like it. It has the slice-of-life, imperial harem plot just without the tragedy and tears.

The plot is based on the typical harem intrigue with transmigration plot twist. The original story follows a typical, innocent girl, who got schemed and died, wishing to take revenge. However, due to a plot twist, the soul of another travels into the original's young body.

Reasons why I like it:

• Plot
  • Pace
  • Credibility/realistic plot
• Pace
• Doting/the fluff

However, the story offers a deviation from all those other transmigration novels. In terms of power, the MC is not too powerful or all-knowing. Instead, the novel concentrates on telling a story of a simple, modern girl trying to survive being a girl and later married concubine in Ancient China society and how she navigates in this kind of life. Therefore, it never gets too ridiculous or unbelievable. In this respect, it has a similar feeling to ChongFei Manual and the novel resembles the Virtuous Wife or Destined Marriage with Fragrance, with its slice-of-life atmosphere.

I also like how despite being a transmigrated soul, the MC is not allowed to do anything she wants. Instead, she has to follow certain rules and restrictions. These challenges give the story a bigger purpose, by not making everything too easy and again, it is also refreshing to see a different plot twist.

Also, what the plot does not reveal, and as well as for all the CFM fans, it has the same level of ML dotingness (albeit more smutty). Therefore, there is absolutely no fear of him being a cold jackass or intrigues, in which she is left alone to survive by herself. Spoiler

It took him a while, though only a two chapters time, to realise that he is in love with her and so he treats her well even before they are even married.

The story is also quick-paced. It does not take 20 chapters to establish the origin story, instead, there are time jumps and long chapters, so the readers do not have to wait long for the story to evolve!

Lastly, I am really looking forward to the doting and fluff parts that the spoiler thread had promised!

Having read more chapters, I still really like the novel. It does not try to be too much, in comparison to all the genius woo- and waa- novels with stunning, OP novels. It's more levelheaded and sometimes funny. Again, I really like the more realistic touch it has, by focusing on her marriage and the husband-wife life and romance.
