A Mistaken Marriage Match 3 – Mysteries in the Imperial Harem 错嫁良缘 - 后宫疑云 by Qian Lu (HE)

He is the lord of six kingdoms.  If he wants to, his army can raze a country to the ground.

She is a talented beauty, famous across the six kingdoms.  Just because of a command from him, her family broke up and she and her sisters are forced to marry strangers in a foreign land .  The more he wants to conquer her, the more she will resist!

For 2 such stubborn people, there can never be love nor loyalty between them.  He thought that he wanted to see her bowing to him, but when she finally kneels before him, why is there no sense of satisfaction?  She thought that she had wanted his death, but when he collapsed, vomited blood, and asked “Why did you return?”, why did she cry?

The 2 of them, can they hold on to each other’s hand for the rest of their lives?

[EBook][Eng Translation]

This is the third book in the “Mistaken Marriages” series by Qian Lu.  In the first and second book, we learnt that the famous Qing sisters are forced to marry the King, the Prime Minister, and a General of their enemy country.  On their way there, the second sister incited the rest to commit suicide and as if it is an insufficient show of protest, she got them disfigure their own faces before they hanged themselves.  The eldest and the youngest sisters died in that attempt, but their bodies were possessed by 2 time-travellers which are the female leads in the first and second “Mistaken Marriages” books respectively.

In book 3, we finally meet Qing Feng, the one who wanted to die the most but who ended up being the only survivor.   She was suppose to marry the Prime Minister Lou Xi Yan, but due to an identity error, she was sent to the Palace instead where she ended up in the Yan Hong Tian’s harem.  Her hatred is strong and constantly fueled her quest for revenge.  The story is rather heavy, with entrapments, poisoning, deaths, typical of life in Imperial Harems and the relationship between Qing Feng and Yan Hong Tian is definitely a love/hate relationship where they torture each other nicely (though I tend to think that Yan Hong Tian manage to torture Qing Feng more).  For me, I enjoyed the ending best of all because it is a happy ending where some sweet moments finally came through.

  • I agree with the statement of the happy ending. If there wasn't one, it would be very frustrating considering all the pain we the reader had to go through. Out of all the sisters, this one definitely had the toughest time, especially considering she is the actual one and not some time-traveling soul. Frankly I always wondered what would happen if she married Lou Xi Yan like she was suppose to. At least in the end, Yan Hong Tian and Qing Feng fell in love with each other, but the process was hard....

  • Yet..at least she got happy ending and lived in peaceful place...she maybe stubborn but the smart one...At first i really dislike Yan Hong Tian compare to other two male leads....But slowly i started to like him..he is just surrounded by the full of fake love,fake concern...So no wonder he is cold to everyone...if he want to stand above the enemies he need to be strong and undefeated...That's why at the first i think that he's jerk..but later i realized he's the one who need real love and care...i feel for him ..Maybe he's not the perfect male lead but for the title of emotional torture male lead character YHT definitely fit the one....

  • I've been following the translation so far up until chapter 33 but I'm am just darn craving for spoilers. Would anyone mind to spoil when or how the otp came to have feelings for each other and in what chapters would the romance starts to pick up? I'm those who likes to know what happens in the story and then reading it after knowing the details.

  • He started to like her claws and stubbornness...Is not like love at first sight but slowly bulid the love line...But they never confess and they're too stubborn to be admitted to each other...Have u ever read "To be a virtuous wife" ?Just like that novel they slowly into each other and u know that sometimes action is louder than speaking...R u want to know the whole spoiler or just the romance scenes?..Do u know that how to hide the spoiler like the other does....B'coz i don't know and i don't want to spoil the other who don't want to know the spoiler...

  • Hi Grace thanks for sharing! I've actually read "To Be a Virtuous Wife" before, in that case it's going to be double the pain since the emperor is definitely not like the main lead He Heng. Both the spoilers and romacne scene would be appreciated if it's not too much to ask. I believe doing the spoiler tag would be

    Although be sure to remove the spacings from the brackets before posting your spoilers. Hopefully this helps.

  • [spoiler] ofcouse.....The emperor is not exactly like the He Heng...But development between Male lead and female lead love line is pretty similar to TBAVW..I mean they both have trust issues and also these TBAVW....But compared to He Heng ,The emperor is more cold ,more brutal and more pity...I think b'coz at least He Heng got a loving and caring mother but none for the emperor...That's mean he is all what he got and can't trust no one..That lead him to brutal...As for spoiler, Qing Feng become pregnant...At first she don't know that she feel uncomfortable and can't sleep at that night...So lucky for her accidentally saw the people who try to put the cursed doll (or something like that) in her room...So she know that they trap her and try to accuse her ....When they'r gone she called her people and search that things and burned...One of her maid understand the medicine and know that she is pregnant...And then she inform the emperor she is in pain (oh at that time the emperor is with the empress or maybe other concubine, I know that's suck right?)...When the emperor come and the physician come and boom!! every one know that Qing Feng is pregnant..Whether "the emperor the jerk" happy or not is not clear b'coz that's Qing Feng POV...After that,the guards try to search in Qing Feng room because of "bitch empress" but who's Qing Feng ....Ha ha they can't find and they can't blame the Qing Feng....But the other concubine also set-up by the empress sent to cold palace...And the emperor slowly fall for Qing Feng (I think before the pregnant he started to like her b'coz if he isn't he can order to drink the medicine that can't get pregnant)...When they go to her sister and Lou Xi Yan wedding dinner she united with her what-she -think-is-her-sisters-but-actually-the-time traveller...But they get along well..At the dinner YHT try to stop Qf to drink because of her pregnant...Later they go outside the palace to the beautiful moutain and scenery (Yeah there's definitely lovely dovey scenes)....But because of empress people she fall from the moutain (the one who save her is the palace gurds who had a things for QF)..Actually the empress thought QF had abortion (there's a reason why she think like that)so to expose the QF who she think pretended...But unluckly for her QF is still pregnant and that process cause her hre labour...But lucky for QF she give birth to the prince....She really love her son and YHT also love the little prince.....But he died because of evil empress and QF become heart broken and started to plot the revenge [/spoiler]
