The MC is extremely relatable. She's just a normal somewhat spoiled and lazy college student. She's awkward at times but is very aware of her limitations. She bravely confronts obstacles in her way and tries to resolve issues on her own but is sometimes hampered by being a female without power stuck in ancient times.

I quite adore her relationship with the ML. He trusts her and believes in her. Again, the obstacles to their love story are not the leads, but the situation they are in.

Spoiler

ML tries his best but he is still a man from ancient times with a destiny to fulfill. MC understands this and never blames him, but she is at heart a modern girl who can't bring herself to share a husband with other females. In the end, she leaves because she doesn't want to end up hating the ML. He in turn realizes that he has to change the situation of he wants to be with her.

I'm really enjoying this story. My favorite parts are:

MCs backstory - The first chapter does an excellent job establishing the MC's personality and drives (or lack thereof) . I actually had to exit back to novel updates to make sure I wasn't reading a modern story. It's nice to read about a transmigrator where you meet their family and know the situation behind their travels. It also cuts off a lot of angst by letting the MC know that eventually she will make it home.

Non-OP MC- MC is... more>> an average University student studying chinese medicine and planning on inheriting her parents clinic. As of chapter 16 shes definitely gotten much better at medicine but thats only after extensive studying and practice.

The characters- I genuinely like all of the main characters. This is the first transmigration novel I've read where I thought the characters would be fun to hang out with.

Humor- the Comedic Undertone tag is accurate. Both MC and ML (or at least who I think is ML) are funny people I think it really adds to the characters likability

So far most of the scheming has been pretty bloodless, with MCs worst offences being healing and harboring criminals and stealing from her Dad. And the worst thing that happened to her is when she transmigrated after the original body drowned. She hasn't been schemed against much either but since this has both a War and Royalty tag I'm sure its only a matter of time...

I'll probably update this when it gets further along but as of right now I would definitely recommend it :) <<less

I've actually just finished this novel (through the painful miracle of MTL) and found the author's storytelling was good enough to shine through that jumble. The heroine, Xie Huai Min, is a twenty-something woman who after transmigrating from the modern world into ancient China after an accident, has to find her way as a family member, as a woman and as a Chinese traditional medical doctor. This novel is only partially translated and it would be a good candidate for being picked up by another translator.

Let's just say, some... more>> of these situations improve more quickly than others. Despite this, you'll enjoy her determination and cleverness. She knows her limits (she can't play the zither or play chess but she can heal people) and doesn't judge every day life from what she's seen in films and dramas. And she is not so modern thinking that she stands out - she just wants to heal people and wait to return to her modern life.

There is a slower, more political and military middle section of the book but it's still well written and quite engaging. Eventually, hidden identities are exposed, loves are vowed, hearts are betrayed and bodies die. I won't lie and say you won't be WTF about the heroine's life in the last quarter of the book but - stick it out. It's a Monday morning here and after blasting through this book over a long weekend, it's worth the panda eyes and my desperate need for coffee. <<less

I am really enjoying this novel. I was put off at first by the several bad ratings, but I am happy I started reading it at last. It is a nice slice of life novel with a bit of fun and mistery, without angst. The main character has a light hearted and hilarious personality that will make you smile a lot. She is living as a transmigrated soul waiting to go back to her world.

I'll write a longer review when there will be more chapters translated, in the meantime I... more>> just wanted to encourage other skeptical readers to give it a try! <<less

Stunning plot, good translation and nice character growth. This novel is unique unlike any other transmigration story plus really suspenseful and unpredictable as the story unfold.

MC's family is nice and MC live in a good environment. No betrayal between family as this story dwells more in the political part of country.

Translation quality: Excellent

MTL quality: Good (using Google Translate)

I highly recommend this book. It's one of the best CN novels I have read in a long time. There are many funny and poignant parts. The characters are well-developed.

There's a bit of a problem because the MC is a modern woman with contemporary and democratic ideas about the role of women. The ML is shaped by the ancient times he lives in.... more>>
Spoiler

He has to be emperor, otherwise his political rivals will kill him. In order to become emperor, he needs to make alliances-- which are usually done through marriages. That's why emperors have harems. There's one military family that is particularly powerful.

They could potentially lead to his downfall, except the daughter really wants to marry him. MC doesn't want to share him and isn't afraid to tell him to take a hike. This leads to him making changes.

[collapse]
. It's really sweet to see how devoted he is, and what he's willing to do for the MC.

Pros:

    • MC and ML are very likeable. There's no s***y ML syndrome here. ML is devoted and loyal. He isn't the typical cold lead.
    • I enjoyed trying to figure out who the ML is, as it isn't immediately apparent.
    • The novel isn't too long.
    • My favorite part is when
      Spoiler

      MC beats up the ML for faking his death.

    • You get to see the life MC left behind.
    • That was a close call at the end. I wasn't sure if it was going to end well, or tragically.
      Spoiler

      It's a H.E.

Cons:

    • Spoiler

      The second ML winds up alone again.

      [collapse]
    • Some things are unresolved. The story arcs of some minor side characters are unfinished.
      Spoiler

      What about her old life? I thought she missed it and wanted to go back. Something really important happened to her body but was never explained.

One of the first transmigration novels I ever read, this is a classic.

Now that transmigration novels have become common place, this novel may not seem as interesting now. But trust me, this was a big hit back then and it still holds up till this day.

Our FL, although she acts a bit clueless, is actually very smart and figures things out quickly such as the fact that... more>>
Spoiler

her second brother has another identity.

One of the reasons why I kept gravitating back to this novel was because I really liked the ML, how he was presented, why he was the way he was, and what he had to go through to get what he wanted and also what he had to give up for his love.

Please keep an open mind while reading given when it was written, it is well worth the read! <<less

3.5

its quite novel and fresh to me. Translation is great. Female lead is great. Male lead is weaker than expected. Romance is cute though some scenes in the novel spoiled the plot in the beginning. Sadly romance is more in the background for most of the novel. Really liked the female lead decisions and path though it wasn’t always the smartest. Story is not too long so give it a try and mtl is easy enough to understand.

Very beautiful read. I liked the personality of the main characters the best. They are emotional, cute, sweet, willing to love and protect eachother whole heartedly but at the same time rational and open minded. They understand being in love doesn't mean they would be together 24/7, rest of their lives. Each of them have their own life, responsibility, principle, and they respected each other's choices.

The side characters are also very nice people and have their own lives and goals. Overall a highly recommended read.
