Description
Before time travel, Shan Yu was the heir to a wealthy family of traditional Chinese medicine. He held a high position and had no worries about food and clothing. As a straight man, Shan Yu never thought that one day he would live with a man and had someone else’s wife with a sallow face, thin skin, and ragged clothes. There was a palm-sized blood-red birthmark at the end of his eye. The wife protected his stomach, shed tears, and knelt at Shan Yu’s feet, begging tremblingly: “Husband, I was wrong…” In this way, Shan Yu became a taker, and in the eyes of outsiders, he became a bastard who ate, drank, whored, gambled, and beat his wife. What to do? First, he had to fill his stomach, then make some small money, open a medicine shop, change the house, and by the way, recuperate the ugly wife’s poor malnourished body, and play the role of the husband. But… where was the promised straight man? Did they just agree to take care of each other out of humanitarianism and live together as partners? Shan Yu looked at the ugly wife who was getting more and more beautiful under the oil lamp and thought to himself, he was so beautiful, how could he be so ugly? [This is actually the story of a straight man who time-travels and how he bends himself]

My Thoughts on The Family of Time Travel Has an Ugly Wife
This novel...whew. It's a ride. "The Family of Time Travel Has an Ugly Wife" is definitely not for the faint of heart, and I can see why opinions are so divided. It's messy, dramatic, and at times, downright frustrating, but there's also something strangely compelling about it that kept me reading.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A transmigrated protagonist who isn't instantly OP or politically savvy? That's a refreshing change. The early chapters hooked me with the MC's longing for home and the mystery surrounding the other transmigrated individuals. I wanted to see how he'd navigate this new world and find a way back.
What Works Well
Despite the chaos, I found the plot surprisingly unpredictable. Just when I thought I knew where things were going, the story would take a sharp turn, keeping me on my toes. I also appreciated the author's willingness to explore complex character relationships, even if they were often painful to watch. The love interest, Wan Qiu, is a genuinely sympathetic character, and I found myself rooting for him even when the MC was making questionable decisions. The author does a good job of making the circumstances feel realistic, the MC doesn't become crazily rich and has to work for everything he has.
Areas of Concern
Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the MC. I have to admit, his behavior can be infuriating. His lack of emotional intelligence and tendency to create misunderstandings had me wanting to reach into the book and shake him. And the pacing? It's all over the place. The story rushes through some plot points while dragging out others, especially when it comes to the MC's relationship with certain supporting characters. It feels uneven and can be jarring.

Final Verdict
"The Family of Time Travel Has an Ugly Wife" is a frustrating but ultimately memorable read. It's a messy, melodramatic trainwreck that I couldn't look away from. If you're looking for a light, fluffy transmigration story, this isn't it. But if you're willing to embrace the chaos and drama, you might just find yourself strangely entertained. I would recommend going into it with an open mind and be prepared for some frustrating moments. It's a flawed novel, but it's also unlike anything I've read before.
