Number One Ugly Husband

To save his slaughtered buddies, Bao Ye sacrifices himself to transmigrate back in the past to rewrite their fate. However, he has mistakenly transmigrated back to 30 years ago—the year when he hasn’t been born yet. What’s worse, the body he possesses is a despicable, wretched, lousy, cheap villain, who even betrays his families and friends. Meanwhile, that villain is an extremely ugly, and most inferior s*ave. Normally, people like him should be the last eye-catcher, however, a powerful man invades in Bao Ye’s life. The guy takes going against him as his job, and makes fun out of embarrassing him. The most bullsh*t thing is, during the long-time confrontation, that man falls in love with him. Touching his super ugly face, Bao Ye is shocked, “What the hell…how could this dude get enchanted by this face? He is really hardcore!”

## My Thoughts on Number One Ugly Husband "Number One Ugly Husband" is a wild ride of adventure, romance, and cultivation, and I found myself thoroughly entertained despite a few reservations. This story plunges you into a world of gods, demons, and slavery, with a protagonist who's anything but your typical handsome hero. ### First Impressions My initial reaction was definitely intrigued. The premise of a time-traveling MC stuck in the body of a reviled slave, afflicted with a grotesque skin condition, immediately grabbed my attention. The cover initially misled me, I thought it was a gang-type high school novel, but it turned out to be a well written fantasy novel. The early chapters are dark, but captivating, setting the stage for a complex and unpredictable journey. ### What Works Well The dynamic between the MC, Bao Ye, and the ML, Dongling Ce, is a major highlight. Their relationship starts with playful, sometimes cutting, banter that gradually evolves into something deeper. I appreciated that their feelings developed organically, avoiding the dreaded "insta-love" trope. Both characters are morally gray, making their actions and decisions feel more realistic and compelling. I found the plot to be particularly strong, with plenty of mysteries surrounding the MC's past and the world's intricate power structure. The author's skill in weaving timelines and creating unpredictable scenarios kept me hooked. ### Areas of Concern One aspect that I struggled with was the MC's physical appearance. The descriptions of his sarcoma-covered face were, at times, quite off-putting. While the novel champions the idea of inner beauty, I wondered if the extent of his disfigurement might be a barrier for some readers, especially when it comes to believing the ML's attraction. I also felt that the "sarcoma problem," while crucial to the plot, lingered for a bit too long. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several key plot points are revealed in the reviews, including the MC's past life as the Emperor of Time, the ML's search for him, and the nature of the sarcoma curse. Be cautious if you want to experience these revelations firsthand! ### Final Verdict Despite my minor reservations about the graphic descriptions, I ultimately enjoyed "Number One Ugly Husband." The engaging plot, well-developed characters, and unique world-building make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a romance that challenges conventional beauty standards and a story filled with unexpected twists, I recommend giving this novel a chance. I rate it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
