1) Up to chapter 9:I just wanna say I'm loving the novel already. MC is great & strong with good IQ & EQ. The children are sweet, dependable & united. I disagree with the previous review about ML being a useless prop that doesn't help MC w/ anything. I'm on chapter 9 right now & I already see how essential ML is to the family. Before MC transmigrated, ML was the reliable adult their children wholly trusted & depended on. B/c of him, they grew up sweet, united, with good morals & no psychological shadow/psychological illness from the emotional ab*se of their relatives & unreliable mom. ML also has sharp eyes, a clear head, is very considerate to his wife & children & isn't blindly filial to the undeserving. He did his best to provide adequate provisions for his family. If not for MC's original host's blind filial doormat attitude, the children wouldn't have grown malnourished/starved & lacking material necessities so badly. Once MC brings up separation, ML instantly pops up without anyone from the family informing him (even though he's supposed to only be home every 3-5 days b/c of his work in the faraway city). Unlike MC aggressively brandishing her claws like a mother eagle trying hard to split the family, ML just needed to smile elegantly & eloquently say a few words to not only get the family safely separated but also get compensation & securing their future from those relatives. He did everything so efficiently/calmly that even MC believes he's already been planning this for a long time. I love this type of ML. MLs don't always need to be totally OP, they don't need to be standing in front playing meat shield, aggressively brandishing their swords in front nor be some loyal muscle head follower or some lustful pe*vert. It's really nice to have our MLs elegantly standing in the back, protecting/raising the kids well & using their skill set along with good IQ/EQ to elegantly/efficiently support/back MC quietly while letting MC lead the family at the front.2) Up to chapter 16:ML is such a sweetheart! Being confused about MC's golden finger, the 1st thing he did was worry about MC's safety so offered to work 24/7 to provide for the family. After MC told him about it, he was worried about MC's safety again but he decided to trust her so he agreed to help her cover up. ML has a lot higher insights than the average ancient village bumpkin. I believe this is where the relationship between MC & ML starts. Trust is the foundation of a true love relationship after all. At this point we already know ML is a very responsible dad/husband & he loves his little family or else he wouldn't be so considerate to them in every detail. He proactively brainstorms ideas to increase the efficiency & to eliminate possible risks from using MC's golden finger in the ancient world. The author is probably going for the true love/soulmate route in a more realistic adult/mature version instead of following those well known romance/infatuation troupes. This couple is gonna have their priorities straight.3) Up to chapter 31:Love our cute shy beautiful ML so much! Wanna hug him, put him in my pocket & spoil him to death LOL He's also quite open minded. It's funny how MC teaches him about her online shop with presentism business values, but he surprisingly gets it. Our adorable ML is very observant even if he doesn't know much about business so he can easily gather info, analyze & apply everything properly to real ancient life.Anyways I hope he passes the exams like he was destined to. It's bad enough if you fail your exams multiple times. I'm sure quite a few of us can imagine how devastating it is when everyone around you not only give you that look but also treat/talk to you as if you were some useless failure after that. I wouldn't even want to talk about my studies at all but I'm so glad he brings it up with MC. MC's trust in his future success gave him the hope/confidence to heal his broken heart. Such a sweet couple LOL ML must see MC as an angel by now xD4) Up to chapter 65:Gotta say ML is quite capable, he'll make a good official (not the capital/politics playing type but like the ones outside the capital who govern/help the common ppl). Actually if he was born in a good family, he'll be one of those elegant, handsome, gentle, clever, considerate & responsible/reliable gongzi most girls will love. Also, at this point, MC & ML are very good partners in crime, working like spinning tops to build up their little family & trying to help MC's biological family plus the village while they're at it. They are also very appreciative of & trust/support each other.
