Cheating Men Must Die - Vol. 8 Ch. 148 - This Concubine's Daughter is Venomous -- Returning to the historical small world

[iskaeil]

I wonder if this arc will proceed like previous stories or if we will get to see a peek of the cultivators she's left enticed looking for her near th end 🤔

@dabbingtool in those times (especially for novels like these), it didn't matter if you were a victim of sexual assault or if it was consensual. it was still frowned upon and women would be blamed for being too promiscuous and that it was their fault for letting it happen. Usually the fathers of the victims will be "compensated" by way of the assaulter marrying the victim.

Also some spoilers for anyone wondering about this arc:

Yes, the adopted prince from the 1st arc is the ML. However there actually isn't really any romance, just competition between the two Su sisters on family honor & winning the prince's respect and admiration.

@eng1
The main daughter of a family is special, esteemed etc. but her family can choose to abandon her for her tainted reputation, being set up or not. And girls are just girls, if that main daughter is done for, then take another daughter! A concubine's daughter in influential family is still a daughter in that family, she represents the family's attitude towards the family she be wedded to. So yeah, in ancient Chinese settings, it's normal to do that.

@dabbingtool
It's not like anyone would believe her, or they do not want to get involved. Most people like to be bystanders watching some person that isn't them having her reputation ruined.
Also, you have to understand that ancient Chinese's women (or archaic women in general) were taught to always be obedient and faithful and kind and gentle etc, all the qualities to make a good wife. They weren't taught to defend themselves, physically or mentally; and good, esteemed girls always stay indoors anyways (or they have to dress up like men like Mulan or Zhu Yingtai) hence in their lack of experience in real life, so they won't know the basic knowledge we know when being sexually assaulted: to call for help and later take medical examination to prove you are still pure. Also, in ancient Chinese settings, men are more superior than women, so the society always takes blame on the weaker gender, saying "even if you are innocent, it's still your fault to be there to seduce a man in a confined room anyways!"

@aliseblack Except we arent talking about sending your concubine daughter to a lower family, we are talking about sending a concubine daughter to the emperor! If you are lucky your family would be beheaded for the insult.

Thank you for translating this series!! Was getting worried that you guys dropped this since there's no updates for 10 days but I'm so glad it's not the case

 

[immortalartisan]

@dabbingtool I can personally vouch for this as both I’ve read the history book and cultural studies and I’m also from there

People just didn’t like ever blaming men there on that kind of affair

 

[Eladine]

Wait what?! same universe as the very first arc??

and her son is still alive?! This will be interesting :3

Thank you for the update!!!

 

[umemiya]

I had to go back to read the first twenty chapters again to refresh my terrible memory. Looking forward to this new arc now 😊

 

[ayokon4]

[Hitomi_Higurashi]

Looking forward to see the son again!!

 

[starartx]

Oooh and we’ve gone back! Thanks so much for another awesome chapter!! You guys are awesome!

 

[Liar]

Time to marry the son!

 

[twilightspirits]

Thank you!
Oof I wonder if the boy she raised became a good emperor

 

[sketchy333]

yes!!! we get to see su luxia's boy grown up!!!!!!! i'm so excited, i wonder if there will be a development where he recognizes his mom in this new su luxia.... 👀

 

[Yingofdarkness]

I'm going to have to go back and reread the first story arc. I don't remember much except the ending. Regardless, I wonder what the goal here is going to be? Is she going to have to marry the son? If so I hope this story doesn't make him the scumbag and it just remains on the sister and that second pos. It would be kind of sad to raise a child only to then have to ruin them (although she might not care).

 

[skipbeat456]

Im excited for this new arch!
