Married Thrice to Salted Fish

such a great story. honestly i was kind of afraid i wouldn't enjoy the "household politics" aspects of it since I've grown bored of them (if you read alot of "rags to riches" nobility stories you'll know what I'm talking about), but our mcs personalities really saved the day. speaking of them, they're really well written characters with vivid and refreshing personalities and behaviors, and they're also well rounded and multidimensional. love the strangers-to-friends-to-lovers progression, it felt really natural and comfortable to read. while most of the other characters are mostly background settings, the "main" side characters are also really interesting the angst was delightful, the emotions were so well written it even managed to make me cry despite knowing what would happen next. overall a great read, would definitely recommend if you're looking for a good romance

(This story is completed. The 'ongoing' status should be changed) This was a unique concept and kept me intrigued till the end of the main story. It's also due to the personalities of both the couple; Lin Qingue is a cold beauty whose dangerously smart while the other is a high-spirited witty pack of lazy bones. I read the extra chapters and it was just as exhilarating because of the modern concept the author took and how the characters were exploited. I loved every bit.

BL has a very bad reputation, but this novel just twisted and tugged at my emotions so hard. The characters feel alive, with distinct personalities, you can actually see the changes in their values and ideals as time goes on. But what really got me is the way emotional turmoil is expressed, the changes in behaviour, every single excruciating thought, tightens my chest. Even though I knew what was going to happen next, the author still managed to shoot me right in the chest anyways. I really do recommend this novel if you don’t mind BL, a literal emotional rollercoaster.

This was such a well rounded story. I loved the relationship between the mc and his love Interest. This is a slow and I mean slow build with a more than satisfactory ending. If you’re into BL I definitely recommend reading this.

"He hoped that Lin Qingyu would not be bound, do what he wanted to do, and be unscrupulous even if he did bad things; he hoped that Lin Qingyu would be free to pursue his ideals and live his most dazzling appearance. He didn't want Lin Qingyu to be well-behaved and sensible, and he didn't want Lin Qingyu to suppress himself for the so-called overall situation of the country. He hopes that Lin Qingyu will always be willful and happy forever. For this reason, he is willing to be a salted fish who is not so idle. " THIS RIGHT HEREE!!😭😭😭😭 OH HOW I WISH I NEVER READ THE SPOILERS AHEAD AH😭😭 even if I felt super sad I kneww whats gonna happenn next soo I could easily make up my mind. . . this iss one of the rare gems of books that one has to go blindly and enjoy all the emotions😭😭 so my fellow comrades. . . i highly recommend you not to read spoilers and go head on to read and then it will launch fire works!! SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO AMAZING! AND I SPECIALLY LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP 💕

This is really awesome just my cup of tea. It's storytelling is great. At least this story make sense and show the love of main characters in very beautiful way. It's heartbreaking some time but still lovely

Amazing as hell. This cured my boredom of repetitive characters and dull plot everywhere i went. Mc is ruthless, petty, extremely talented and vicious and super beautiful. His goal and dream is to become a doctor but he's married forcefully to a sickly rich guy -----> to The sole power that controls the empress, the shadow military and can topple the thrown. I love their personalities, their scheming, their murderers, treason, love, development, fears. Everything.

I'm in love . . . with this story. This is the best romance of all time, it has everything that one can hope for. it made me cry a few times n then laugh out loud the next. What a beautiful story.

5 star. I hated yaoi and that kind of stuff because I'm not gay, but this just made me reconsider my life choices, and now i don't think about stuff like that when reading books. Characters 5 star Action 5 star Motives 5 star Worldbuilding 4 star. Just read it i want to go to sleep, but can't do that till you read this.
