Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I am a princess, moreover, I am a fool of a princess.

Born in the imperial palace, my appearance is as average as that of the white radish and cabbages in the fields. Throughout the four seasons of the year, my face is always displaying a dull expression, eyes forever shrouded in haze.

But in reality, I know of the secrets within this palace.

Including hers, his, and theirs.

Just leisurely living my days comfortably in the palace like this, I firmly believe I can continue to play dumb to the end.

Taking your hand, dragging you away. Not leaving, you say? Very well, close the doors and release the hounds. (Expressionless face)

I really really loved this story! This was probably my favourite reverse harem, because all those men don't fall in love at first sight with her, they slowly develop feelings. I also really liked the ML, just because just like other men he too was a power hungry man, but he let everything go just for our FL. ^_^ I also liked our FL's laziness and her "whatever" nature which she discarded in the end for the man she loves.

This novel takes a deep look at peoples lives and how even if the people remain the same time constantly keeps changing, people who are dear to one another have to stand on opposite ends because of circumstances not fully controlled by them, childhood memories only to confart them. The novel is never too slow nor too fast never too intense nor too bland.

Its a novel that shows the passing of time and the effect of it on people beautifully.

Plus the translator did a great job of keeping the airey... more>> feel of it whilst not making it hard to read at all. <<less

The MC suffers from clinical depression which is misdiagnosed as s*upidity. There's a reason for that though. She's basically retreated from the world and was brought back to the living one day when she allowed herself to be kidnapped and met 2nd ML and his sister. The novel has lots of fat in it, useless scenes that could be edited out but at the heart of it is a young girl who transmigrated to ancient China, retreated behind a thick wall of ret*rdation and one day decided to just snap... more>> out of it and start allowing anyone to grab her hand and drag her anywhere to enjoy life again.

She went through a series of kidnappings, a poisoning episode, attempted r*pe, the torture of someone she realizes she loves, and possible double su*cide just so she could claim the right to live her life her own way. And the ML grows along with her, he shares her journey and was so devoted he was the only one that counted in the end, regardless of the presence of the MC's other harem. <<less

The MC's characterisation was a breath of fresh air, simply because she simply wasn't your typical MC whose goal, after being transmigrated, is to become strong and get revenge or dominate the world or whatever reason. Neither was she your typical goody goody who, despite being a "badass, " help people just because it's right. The MC's apathy was what made her cool. Her go-with-the-flow attitude (simply because she never gave a crap what happened) got her into very interesting situations.

I can't say I like all the guy's who kept... more>> kept
Spoiler

kidnapping her and kissing her without her permission. Seriously why do they think the only way they can "have her" is to kidnap her?? They have to be some sort of delusional to think that she's suddendly forget her kidnapping and begin to return their feelings. Dream on buddy. Each of them do have their pros and cons, and I like how fleshed out their characterisation was. They were driven by their own motives and desires and it was nice that each of them had their own backstory. Meng Ying Lu's backstory was especially sad since his family were whole and loving of each other. I would say that if each of them were in separate novels they would have definitely been very well liked. However, they had the unfortunate luck to be in the same novel as the very super black belly ML, who is very possessive of his little cousin

At first, I find it boring but as I patiently continuously read this novel, I slowly found a gem.

The story captivates me most especially men who slowly falls for the MC. This parts keeps me going. And I find myself wanting to know more about the MC.

For those who read only 'prologue' until 'chapter 15' and then stops reading it? You missed a lot of great scenes.

this novel is a great example of "never judge a book by its cover".

The author really didn't do things half-assedly.

Spoiler

If it's a comedic scene, you'll laugh out loud for real. But once the drama hits, it's like an express train running you over at full speed. Especially when it comes to each country's fight. Ah-Lan is always, always caught up in it.

[collapse]

The 'Drama' in the genre isn't just for show.

I like how unusual the history was but the last 3-4 chapters are just too annoying and I had to drop this story. Otherwise a good history about a girl pretending to be dumb and it was pretty fun till the author decided to involve her in the imperial court scheming, giving up what make this story unique.

I love transmigration/rebirth/female lead novels and this one stands out since its transmigration without an OP character out to get revenge. It's funny and the translation is great! I've dropped so many novels just because the plot gets ridiculous/repetitive or the translation needed work. Spoiler thread says it gets super dramatic later in the novel but keeping my fingers crossed it'll still be just as good.

Great story.

It has executed every aspect that it can beautifully. I recommend you to read it. The story portraits how the already emotionally damaged MC, from being betrayed in the past life, interacts with characters in the story, and how due to the conflict between nations the relations between the close people to MC and ML changes and how the MC opens up due to whole lot of struggles and happenings during the story and finally falls in love with the ML.

All in all it is a good story.

I don't know what to say about MC. Maybe I have misconception about her when reading it? But I felt that her feelings is somewhat fragile for someone who said she don't know how to cry and love.

She fell in love with ML so it's a must. She cried for him and fell in love since that's what supposed to happened. And I like the way how devoted ML to MC. He is possessive but it gives security of not being left behind not fear. But MC on the farther... more>> part of the story didn't sit well for me. How should I say this... It's like she will fell in love if you show her more vulnerability, sweetness, and care? For example about Mr. Meng, he said that MC should wait for him because he need to do many things first before they can be happy couple. And MC said she is not the type who waits. So... Will she agree if Meng didn't marry someone else and continue to pursue her? Will she forgot Yumen? Or save him but continue to be with Meng.

I don't know anymore lol. Anyway, the male characters in the story is great. They didn't fell in love with MC because of love at first sight but because of some reason that happened when they were still children.

The story is well written, that's a thumbs up! Most novel aren't like that. Just the more I read, the more I felt bored. I don't know why I felt that way but since I started it, I'll read it all the way.

Thanks for translating. <<less

if you’re bored and like very long, thought-out plot, this is a good one. Personally, I enjoyed our MC and her love interest and their dynamic. One of my favorite all-time reads :)

It's been a while since I finished reading this novel, so I'll just list the things that I remember:

  • the translation is top notch: 100/100. The metaphors can be easily understood thanks to the mini-explanations.
  • the plot is very well done and the pace is just right. Though at the very end, it seemed a bit rushed, and all the problems were all solved with a flick of a finger.
  • the way MC ended up with ML seemed to be the best ending there is in my opinion, with the ML's route.
  • *SPOILER* the twin sister got annoying in the middle of the story.
  • I really like and enjoyed the interactions between MC and the siblings of MLs
  • WILL DEFINITELY RE-READ AGAIN!

I don’t how this author did it but it’s surely the best historical Chinese romance I’ve read so far. He was able to bring in transmigration, reverse harem, drama, romance etc into a perfectly balanced blend and make a wonderful storyline out of it.

Ecah chapter kept me wanting for more and I’m happy I took my time reading this. It was worth every page read.

Well translated. It starts as a light comedy, but really it is light comedy between tragic episodes. I don’t like the kind of love that is depicted here, it is unhealthy and disturbing. Even the “good ending” isn’t very good and it isn’t like it is actually realistic.

The FL is amusing if you don’t think about it too much, but there is something fundamentally broken about her. This is partly on purpose, but even after she “heals” her personality is a bit messed up.

The ML is a bit bizarre and... more>> is not explained very well.
Spoiler

Why did he even try to kill the FL in the past ? No details are given.

[collapse]
He is bearable.

The other male leads are horrible.

Finishing, I was left feeling vaguely uncomfortable, can’t recommend.

Spoiler

That last extra chapter was pretty bad. First Yan You is reincarnated and wastes his life while hurting many women around him rather than learn from his past life. Then, after discovering the FL, he starts obsessing and stalking her stopping not when she rejects him, but when he understands the ML is perfect.
It is wrong on so many levels.

Really love this! Felt like an adventure while reading this.

Summary does not give justice to the story. Thank you to Translator for this great work.

I enjoy the FL acting indifferent or just an observer in this novel. She picks up these secrets if known will likely end her. She's intelligent but also lazy (STAN LAZY FLs!!!) Which leads to hilarious scenes.

Her harem is a bunch of obbsessive psychos. That I keep switching which ship to jump. No cheating if you guys are concerned. 😊 What I can say is: Nothing... more>> is as what it seems 🤫 This novel is a great adventure and will keep your blood pumping! 🥰 <<less

Reverse harem but you'll get clues who the ML is. I really like the story although I find some of the 2nd leads such fickle-minded men, the male lead stayed loyal to her till the end. Some reviews mentioned she doesn't love him but I think she realized she does when she decided to trust him completely and is not afraid of him anymore. She also got rid of her nonchalant attitude when it comes to him. They understand each other very well and kinda relied on each other in... more>> a way <<less

I delayed reading this story because the reviews were so mixed, but if you are looking for a belly laugh and good slice of life, you will love it. The romance is not important when you’re almost crying from laughter due to the inner monologue of our “main character “.

Honestly, I tried reading a couple of CN novels but I just can't seem to like them. But this one I like.

Translation is 5/5. I'm glad that this novel doesn't have a lot of names to remember/familiarize or a lot of terms to force myself to understand. I admit there's a lot of phrases or chinese sayings that I don't get but I'm thankful for the translator who always make sure to enclose the meanings and relevance to the story.

I like the MC's mindset. It was fun and refreshing to... more>> read her thoughts about her daily 'routine' and how she acts and conducts herself every time she's being taken. I do think that the number of times she was held captive was ridiculous. I also appreciate the translator for putting a prologue as an initiative because it plays a part. Really. I just realized it at the middle of the story.

I like the FL but honestly speaking the guys here are f*ckng selfish. There's a limit to how possessive and selfish one could be but these guys barely acted 'okay'. They don't even take the FL's opinion and choices into consideration and they just straight up force her to be with them in whatever shitty situation. And that includes the ML. I get that he knows how the FL feels about him but dude it wouldn't kill to ask sometimes.

About the ending:it feels lacking. I need answers. What happened to the mén they were recruiting back? I just feel like the author could've done better but I also can't think how it could be better. Let's just say the ending was 'okay' but feels like it still has room for more. What happened to Ying Lu? Or HLC's little brother? I honestly like both of them : ( <<less
