• They don't listen, they're overprotective to the nth degree and overall I find them annoying to the n^2 degree. The random nature in which these guys remember their former lives also leaves a lot to be desired. At baseline, their refusal to listen to our girl's desire to maintain strictly professional relationships with them is frustrating as hell.

• I honestly just started skipping paragraphs so I could get the jist of what's going on because the details of cultivation and their word vomit like explanations just get sooooo tiring. The author really needs an editor because this story is just bogged down with extras.

• It's still a 4 because there's still a story line, even if it is draggingggg, and the FL doesn't change from her goal of being a medical practitioner. I do like the ML, mostly because he's one of the only males in the story who I can stand.
  Gentleman Pei is also pretty ok but that's because he's a confidant and not vying for love. I took off the point because I just stopped enjoying this (mostly due to the following she gathers). I'm not going to take off a bunch of stars because while wordy cultivation-related text isn't my cup of tea today maybe it's someone else's.

• There is a romantic progression between the FL and ML so far, but it's not obvious on the FL's side because she insists on treating him as a master. (I really just want to bang my head against a wall).

two of the male side leads are reincarnated. They were hostile at first because their memories were not yet awakened, but when the MC treated them, fragments of their past lives came together and they recalled their memories. They became VERY protective of the MC afterwards because they knew what would happen and how the MC died tragically for THEM in the past life while th ori!FL laid on the villain's arms, sobbing but also not fighting back.

It was foreshadowed quite nicely even. The first male lead dropped a "You're always like this" to the MC, which I laughed at the first time I read it. I was like, "Bro, you only know her for, like, a week" and the reveal was so surprising but satisfying.

The MC only has eyes for the ML that she kept calling 'master.' in her past life. Dunno when, but I'm sure the ML will awaken his memory one day, but not in the near future.

The MLs randomly regain their memories of their previous life at some point which makes them love our MC and turn away from orig!FL because they end up remembering her lifesaving favours from the past life. However, this just means they end up falling for her super quick, and I really like the process of falling for each other. Thus it's really unfortunate.

Furthermore, the master is someone that didn't belong in the "original story". I personally don't like when that happens because true stories always set the most powerful handsome guy as the ML, so how could this even better person suddenly pop out?? It also makes absolutely no sense to me how they got close... our MC is really a good person, but it really doesn't explain how they got THAT close.

Her entourage only includes three former suitors of the FL -the two that remembers their past life and one tasked of playing bodyguard that annoyingly keep praising the FL-, a red fox demon that is quite adorable and Xiao Qi. The other people that genuinely seems to like her are the Senior Sister she meets in Beyond the Heaven and a couple of older characters.

Because while people she had healed in her past life will remember her if she heals them again, most people just do not like her. They will low key admire her for a bit until they meet the original FL and immediately start to either distrust or just threaten our MC.

It's quite annoying really, because while the FL might not be a bad person per se, she always has ulterior motives to play the white lotus. Like she said herself at some point, the original FL has always been loved and in the spotlight and try her best to keep it that way.

1. I get it that she's supposed to be an extremely indifferent medical/healing fanatic, but there's a difference between being indifferent and being a doormat. She almost never counters others when they falsely accuse her. Most of the time the explanations come in the form of the MLs' sword, attacks or intimidating glances... 🙄 I also question why she's never questioned their sudden change of 'targets' from orgFL to her. And also wonder why she never persists on driving the MLs away (even after they've paid back their debts) when she was so worried initially about accumulating heaven's anger from stealing FL's luck.

2. How big of a Mary Sue the MC actually is. Unique pill concocting methods? She's got it. Supremely OPed hitherto unseen in human world arrays? She's got it. Indefinite and unnecessary kindness? She's got it. A bunch of well to do suitors? She's got it~ And the most rich, extremely OP bestest of best in entire existence being her ML? Ofc she's got it too 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ the story starts out well but soon becomes similar to the cliched "OP genius Assassin/Doctor reborn as a waste" story.

3. The annoying and large harem... These dudes just magically get their past life memories back once MC saves them and suddenly don't give two shi*s about the orgFL, who they were simping for till then. I get it that they feel guilty/like they owe it to the MC cause in their previous life they attributed all the efforts and life-saving grace she's given them to the orgFL. But why do they, in this life swarm to & stick close to the MC so much? Why not leave it at just gratitude and pay it back in other ways when their obstinate proximity makes MC uncomfortable (but ofc she doesn't do much about it🤷🏻‍♀️)..

4. How brain-dead the side characters are (especially the orgFL). I get it that orgFL has been spoilt all her life but does that necessarily imply that she'll become a s*upid one-dimensional greentea bi~ch who only knows how to jump from man to man and use her beauty & "tears" as weapons? She's supposed to be an extremely talented cultivator favoured by the heavens but ofc her talents could never match up with the MC even with all of heaven's favour~~

On that not there are no traces of FL's halo, she's got no cheats, no heavenly interventions, nothing.. all she's got is her beauty which makes people fall for her left and right (until the MC appears that is.. then they just switch targets) The actual "protagonist halo" is on MC and her alone or she's got some sort of fate siphon skill which is slowly making her the harem lord the orgFL was in last life.

5. How the ML who's supposed to be bestest of the bestest, richest of the richest, smartest of the smartest blahblah just hangs around with her all wounded and weakened. He might be hanging around to find out more of how she knows almost all his clan's secret techniques or/and be hiding from enemies at a place no one would think to look, but does that mean he must remain wounded and weakened? If there are enemies aiming for your life and position, it makes more sense to heal yourself faster so you can be ready to deal with them. And he can just set people to watch her. with all the descriptions on how powerful and influential he is it seems to be quite illogical how he wouldn't get a high leveled healer to heal him first.

1. Do not expect this to be a face-slapping novel. Yes the MC gets wronged a lot of times but after experiencing the disappointments/misunderstandings of the last life, she mostly brushes things off as she doesn't have lots of expectations at this time. She does show some character growth in this regard later on, but the crux of her character is someone who will always choose to help a person that she can.

2. There's a lot of "side ML's" that I know some people might be disappointed aren't more romantically involved with the MC. However the way that I look at it is some grow to respect her for her qualities while others become protectors of sorts out of gratitude (although they do might harbor some thoughts about her ;))

3. Lastly this is just a fun novel (without too much complexity) to enjoy. There's a lot of glorious momenta especially with the last arc I left off on. Man...I'm getting such 2nd Male Lead Syndrome

I thought the plot was going to be MC trying to rectify her past mistake of being too kind and a pushover and try the hardest to keep a distance between the FL and her entourage or op suiters.

Instead, it's about her trying the same thing as past, just charge money and pretend to be cold and aloof. Like yeah, she has a cold face, but that is it as far as trying to change her fate.

And for the other main issue I had was how dumb all the characters are, to the point if feels like except for a few characters that are on MC's side (of course), everyone had a giant hole for brain.

And the FL is nothing more than a pretty girl who just happens to be the one loved by fate or whatever. But the FL never does anything besides fainting and causing trouble to the people who are trying to help.

To me, she feels two faced. Because there is no way she is not jealous of MC. She keeps trying to steal her credits. When the male interests ask her if she is the one who helped them, she never refutes their claim. Which totally gives me the green tea bit*h vibe.

And the last thing, and the more irritating is, the MC herself. She keeps trying to have this image of an unnerved passerby. But when the male interests trys to stick to her, she never tries to make them go away.

The only thing that interests me in the story is the world building and the rather relax paced cultivation described here.

I especially like the beyond the boundary description. Which the whole Amazon feel.

The story pacing is good, except when it comes to conflict related scene. It either seem to relaxed or too fast paced.
