My Wife Is from a thousand Years ago

Woah! 456 chapters of romance?! Is. . . is this real? Are my eyes deceiving me?

I don't know about any of you, but I've rarely read any romances surpassing 200 chapters, never mind 456.

Nevertheless, this series is truly, truly worth the read.

The premise isn't like anything else we've seen. Jiang He, the female lead, is a woman from ancient China. She gets transported to the apartment complex of Xu Qing, our male lead. They interact, words get thrown, swords get withdrawn, tv's break, the whole nine yards. Things happen after and Jiang He ends up living with our goat.

The characters in the series are what make it so special in the hearts of readers. Jiang He is your typical tsundere, and Xu Qing is a sly fox. He fools her a lot, and if she finds out, he gets a beating of his life. Up until chapter ~350, the story was mainly about their daily exchanges.

Now, you may be thinking. 350 chapters of two character's daily interactions? That couldn't p-p-p-possibly be interesting! You fool me not!

I say to that: relax. Somehow, someway, Jiang He's foolishness and immaturity (at times) is just so fun to read. You really feel like you're with them in their small apartment.

There are also some notable side characters, Wangxi, Haozi, and Ping Ping (hopefully I remembered their names) that add to the story. And we can never forget Winter melon! (Their cat, if anyone is curious.)

The series never delves into any super sad moments. Obviously, there are some heart-warming but kinda sad scenes. But it never really lasts. The series also doesn't believe in annoying second love interests, harems, or blatant fan service, so if any one of those tropes annoy you, fret not, you won't find them here.

Then as Jiang He and Xu Qing grow old and marry (yes, slight spoiler, sorry. Though it's a romance, so marriage isn't really something unexpected. Don't castrate me.) readers began (at least, myself) thinking that the story was going to end. Sigh, that's how most finish.

Nope! You're wrong!

They begin introducing babies to the world. Yes! Miniature Xu Qing and Jiang He! A wonderful mix, if I do say so myself.

The children take on the best from their parents and go on to find their own journey's. And we still get a good chunk of chapters revolving around their family life! Like me, you'd feel as though you're their third parent, since you've spent so much time with Jiang He and Xu Qing through it all.

So heartwarming.

The ending was something that felt earned, rather than rushed. All the storylines were given their rightful endings. All the characters were left (mostly) happy.

Jiang He is a grandmother now!

Anyways, it was sad seeing it end, but also inevitable. I hope you enjoyed my review and will go on to enjoy My Wife is From 1000 Years Ago just like I did.
