Yu ren 《御人》 by E mei 《峨嵋》

Synopsis:

Where would be useful talents and tons of oxen and horses without human trafficking?

How to revive economy and upgrade employment rate without corruption?

How to support small and weak ones and defeat enemies without being black-belly?

Being a honorable maiden with ideals, who pursues three views¹, uprightness and successful career, Bai Fuling thinks what she needs is a loyal dog, who could be an object of her torment and bully, and not this black-belly, whose object of enjoyment is tormenting and bullying her.

Confronting a fierce devil, who she could not provoke nor avoid, she could only put to use her art of handling people and engage with him in battle of wits and guts to the very end.

[1]Three views is mainly referring to views of world, life and value

Review:

It´s another time-travel book ((~‾⌣‾)~ yeah, I´m quite hooked on them).

I have really enjoyed this book. Yu Ren is  very funny and easy to read. From synopsis it’s clear that the female lead is quite an unusual character. Not silly type like Shan Shan from CAESS. Not damsel in distress type (have I ever read a book with this type of heroine? Can’t remember). Not courageous kick ass type like Gu Yun from AGMC. Not an indifferent type like Ran Yan from TDFFI. But a cunning black-belly type! Finally a female bully in a book (I seriously have enough of male bullies in books. We females are also capable of bullying!)

So, let´s first talk about how the female lead got to ancient times. In her previous life (modern one) she was an extremely unlucky person. Many bad incidents happened to her and that led to the situation where everyone around her avoided her like plague. Even her death was something to feel sorry for –  she literally choked to death while drinking water!  Σ(゜д゜;) (Wow! Is it even possible?)

After she died and went to Hell, she discovered that apparently in her life before her modern one she was an extremely bad guy,  who buried alive ten of thousands of people! Because of that she had to suffer 27 lifetimes of misfortune (not sure if it was really 27 lifetimes but it should be near to this number since she killed so many people lol). Fortunately, she was lucky that day in Hell and so she received a second chance.  To atone for her sins, she had to save ten thousand people before her eighteen birthday. Thus, she reincarnated to the body of three years old Bai Fuling.

Bai Fuling´s life (the female lead) could be described as very happy and free. She could do absolutely anything she wanted without any restrictions since her parents were very doting and their tolerance (for her actions) had no limit.

In her hometown she was a well-known tyrant. Nobody dared to oppose her because she had a brother, general, who was backing her (actually they are not real blood-tied siblings. Her parents adopted him after she had saved him). She was also notorious for her hobby of buying people (this is her way of saving people (^.^) ). It could be said that she was kind of small buddha, who everyone worshiped – her parents, servants, brother – general, even wild animals! And no one dared to go against her because they knew that they would end up very very miserable!

So that´s our female lead Bai Fu Ling, invincible female bully…….or not so invincible. At least  not until she met our male lead, her nemesis of this (ancient) lifetime.

Here are candidates for male lead:

Yang Heng – a young officer turned prince. His first meeting with her was while she was demonstrating her tyrant reputation. At first he had bad impression of her, but after some time he got used to her behaviour and even began to search her company (maybe he is into bullies?)

Ci Guo Wei Mao – another prince (tribal this time). He was betrayed by his people and sold to human trafficker but later was bought by Bai Fuling. This poor guy was absolutely deceived by Bai Fuling´s beautiful appearance.

Lu Ying – the first person Bai Fuling saved (he always had a special place in her heart). He doted on  Bai Fuling and would do anything for her. When Bai Fuling was small, she chose him as her husband candidate.

Hai Fushi – handsome new leader of martial artists’ community. An honest and gentle young man who, unfortunately,  became Bai Fuling´s target of bullying at first sight. Bai Fuling tried to act like damsel in distress before him at first but after some time her “true colours” were still revealed (what do you think, was Hai Fushi shocked?).
