Description
Favoring the Concubine, Destroying the Wife + Chasing the Wife to the Funeral Pyre + A Shattered Mirror Will Not Mend + Secret Love + Power Games In her first life, Sheng Zhi Wan begged to marry beneath her rank for the sake of love. She poured her own dowry into the household, wrote war manuals so he could drive back the enemy, and drafted state essays so he could climb ever higher. Everyone said that the heir of the Qi clan, Qi Shu Xian, was dazzling beyond compare. She, a princess who understood only matters of the heart, could wed such a man—[I must have received a blessing as vast as the sky] . Yet after living once more, Sheng Zhi Wan swore that the fool who lives only for romance could be someone else, not her. Her husband brings home a concubine? She climbs the wall. Her mother-in-law orders her to raise the concubine’s child? She invites her father-in-law’s pregnant mistress into the manor as a fitting gift in return. Two elder sisters-in-law and a younger brother-in-law eat her food and spend her silver. Since they know no gratitude, she makes them spit every coin back. * Qi Shu Xian never thought Sheng Zhi Wan could be so petty. It was only a concubine, even if the woman carried his child; she could never outshine the principal wife. How had things reached the point of divorce? What fine family would take a cast-off wife? He would wait for the day she begged to return. * In the capital, the most notorious scoundrel of the mighty Shang Hang Yu firm guards a secret he means to keep until death. Then, on the day she bends down before him, he decides that even dying would be worth the price. ?The early chapters unfold slowly; there is wall-climbing and other improper conduct, and the divorce progresses at a measured pace. If you mind, please steer clear. May we meet again in the next story.?

My Thoughts on The Prince Took a Concubine and I Climbed the Wall, and the Whole Family Regretted Chasing His Wife
This title alone hooked me, and I dove into "The Prince Took a Concubine and I Climbed the Wall, and the Whole Family Regretted Chasing His Wife" with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. It sounded like a wild ride, and after reading a good portion of it, that's exactly what it is.
First Impressions
Let's be clear, this isn't high literature, but it doesn't pretend to be. It embraces its "junk food novel" status, and honestly, that's part of its charm. I was expecting a chaotic mess, but I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging it is.
What Works Well
The core of the story revolves around our female protagonist, who, let's face it, is a bit of a Mary Sue. She's incredibly skilled in almost everything, but I found her surprisingly likable. She's sharp, calculating, and while not overly selfless anymore, she's thoughtful about the consequences of her actions. I enjoyed watching her savor her victories, especially when she made sure to rub them in the faces of those who wronged her. The author does a good job of making her power feel fragile, constantly reminding us that her indifferent father, the Emperor, could easily crush her if he suspected she was outshining his favored son.
The husband is wonderfully despicable, a truly selfish and violent character completely oblivious to the fact that his success is due to his wife's machinations. The rest of his family is equally awful, aghast that the MC is no longer accepting their mistreatment. The new concubine adds another layer of intrigue, a modern transmigrator who believes she's superior to everyone, but whose arrogance often leads to her downfall.
The slow burn of the plot works in its favor. It’s a war of attrition, a careful and deliberate climb to autonomy and power. There’s plenty of scheming, violence, and escalating confrontations to keep things interesting.
