    • Already married
    • Somebody transmigrated into her body or she was reborn
    • She’s either the main wife or the concubine
    • The male lead should have a lot of other women in his harem

    Oooo I agree! I forgot about that one even though I've only just finished my latest binge read. You definitely have to read that one, @Britney123 . :)

    Ugh I know that’s why I’m searching for one where the guy is not a complete immoral asshole and actually dismisses his harem.
    SPOILER
    (don’t know how to make it blue or whatever)
    Her son was stolen and replaced with a cat and he knew where the kid was and even hid it from her. I stopped reading and I’m never going back again she should just divorce him.

    Technically he divorced her but it happens in chapter 308. Right now the woman is all about that money and is doing everything in her power to make as much as she can. She about to be a self made rich b*tch soon. You ain't gonna want to miss this. :blobsmilehappyeyes:

    Heh, I find with that novel it's the Buddhist beliefs/principals that power the plot, not a story or a character. When I look at it that way, it doesn't annoy me and I'm waiting to see how the story will conclude with anticipation. O.O

    I will really need to wash my brain to forget the novel if Ji Min(don’t know how to write her name) goes back to the male lead. I mean girl you left him now you can do whatever ya want. Maybe one day he’ll appear and want you back and you’ll spit in his face or kill him either way I would be satisfied.

    The first novel that popped into my head was To Be A Virtuous Wife! I've read that one and personally find it quite enjoyable (though not really one of my favorites because I'm not really into the harem thing but that's a personal preference choice!).

    This one I haven't read but others have recommended to me based on its similarities to the one above. You should check it out as well! It's
    Eight Treasures Trousseau.
