Amazingly fluffy but also somewhat action driven story, but with a rather generic ending.

The mains are both amazing, especially the MC being daring, caring, selfless but not naïve. Lively but also can act sensible in various circumstances. She doesn't follow the script with the ancient folks to act out a cat fight and can end it like the only adult in the room. I'm quite thankful for no cliché dramas.

The noble ML doesn't loose to her either. Being raised as a scholar he went through a lot of hardships that... more>> normal people would easily falter under, determined to chase after a 'common' woman of no particular origins and is both a loyal friend and lover. He loves MC for who she was, and she is probably one of the few characters in CN novels that are not the prettiest thing in the world. (Well, ML is, but he's more gorgeous than handsome.)

Their relationship felt like hitting on the readers with a dozen of down pillows. Absolute couple goals.

Just that, the ending was rather disappointing and was a rushed mess.

Spoiler

The supernatural occurrences went off the hook once she accidentally returns back into her own body to the modern world. She could spiritually connect herself to the past in her sleep and be with ML. After returning back to the past things with the ancient cast finally settled and the royal strife over. Somehow MC and ML both ended up in the modern world again, to marry a third time.

Besides the lack of reasoning for all that back and forth transmigration, the ending is super generic. You've seen this in other novels before or as many many alternative TV drama show endings.
Also, with MC ending up with ML in her modern body, this bumps them also back to being a generic pretty boy X pretty girl couple *sigh*. So, the disparity of class, lookism and gender has also been minimized a whole bunch, making their efforts ending up together a lot less meaningful.

[collapse]

Can't say I appreciate how homosexuality/bis**uality is portrayed here. I suppose I see the author's point with how even the villains want to screw the ML, that author just want to point out how gorgeous he was, but it's still in a negative messy way. Those villains didn't care for one's s*x and would screw and torture without any regards.

Seriously, if you want to highlight the man's natural beauty there are other ways than giving your character down right traumatic s*xual experiences. <<less

Man! This story is so cute! Especially love the FL personality. I never thought the plot will flow his way. Definitely worth the read, and the fact that it doesn't reach thousands chapters like many other historical novels, it save my time from skipping any unnecessary plot/chapters.

Actually I'm not too fond with strong MC and weak ML in ancient setting, so I keep pending this novel. Turns out it has good story. For first part I thought it's similar to Marrying the Soft Hearted Villain where MC saving ML and they got hooked up. I like MSHV more than this novel, because this novel MC is way more OP. There's a lot of time skipped without details when MC separated with ML, making it a bit bland, it highlight that there's no story because the main... more>> characters are apart. <<less
