Married Thrice to Salted Fish Chapter 102 Discussion

This was so much better than anything I had expected it to be! A smart, cunning and vicious MC, a gentle, not s*upid, and not a red flag ML (gosh he is so good), a villain who is actually intelligent and poses as a real obstacle in the life of the main characters and political intrigues. And so much more. I can't tell you how much of a pleasant surprise it was.

MC

From reading the synopsis, I expected him to be gentle and kind (cause I had been reading other novels with MCs like that). But he was different and not in a bad way. Unlike other OP MCs, he isn't someone who can do anything he wants and shine and slap everyone's faces. He has limits. He wants to kill people who have caused him even the slightest annoyance. (And he actually does). He is so petty. He is a doctor who's proficient in poison. He just wants to be a doctor and be treated greatly by the people around him. He wants fame and glory. And after the ML, he just wants to live a nice and peaceful life with him. He deserves it so much after all he had to go through in the story. Now on the beautiful aspect of him. In other novels, I feel like the MC being godly beautiful is just like extra. It makes things easier for them and causes the Mls to in love with them more quickly. But in this novel, because the author of the world the MC lives in has canonically deemed him as the most beautiful, it has only brought him more and more troubles.

Spoiler

Like the crown prince using him as a substitute cause he looks like the crown prince's white moonlight, the emperor (the old man) wanting him to join his harem, etc.

[collapse]

But he is not gonna ruin his face and cause himself pain just because some disgusting people like his face. He will just kill them. (Which he did).

ML

He is so good. I feel so bad for him. He was just a teenager who had transmigrated into this ancient world. He just wants to be a salted fish. Yet he is forced to become a sickly young master who is in constant pain all time and on the verge of death, A general who has the lives of thousands of soldiers on his shoulders and an emperor who is the ruler and the son of heaven. I support him being a salted fish. He is such a sweetheart. If his mother hadn't forced him to learn all the things he would have never survived in the world.

Couple

This was such a slow burn. Like it was in the second marriage that they started dating and considered each other as proper romantic interests. And it was good. Watching how the MC slowly started to involve the ML in his plans and considered him his confidant who knew him most deeply and saw how cruel and vicious he is and fell in love with that part of him. They didn't kiss until like 70 chapters. There was also an s*x scene but it was kinda brief. I love how the MC was the one who initiated it. You don't really find that all that often. These are such couple goals.

The villain

The main villain for most of the story is the crown prince. He is the protagonist of the world along with his shadow guard being the other protagonist. Their love story is that of a substitute and white moonlight one. The crown prince was really difficult to defeat. He was in a position of much more power than the protagonists. He wanted the MC to himself because the MC looked like his white moonlight. It was also how The MC died in the original book. He ate the poison he prepared for the crown prince himself after his mu*der attempt was stopped by the shadow guard.

The deaths

I was don't the verge of tears both times the ML was going to die. Although I know it still didn't stop it from being so sad.

And I am really tired from writing this. I will update it again after the main story is finished. And maybe once more after the extras are completely translated.
