About This Novel
This book includes three novellas: "The Witch Belle". There is a new mathematics teacher Ou Lian in the school where Corin teaches. Strangely, Corin gradually discovers that everyone around her - the school leaders, teachers, classmates, and even her own son and husband - all like Ou Lian and are fascinated by her... "Things from the Flood" After the flood receded, a strange white ball appeared inside the ball. It seems that there are some tiny and mysterious things swimming around. The small balls can not only secrete liquids, but can also control people's thoughts... "Regret Medicine" Han Dong, who lives in poverty and is frequently hit, wanders in the streets in despair. On a stone arch bridge, he meets an old woman running a street stall. He uses his last 10.5 Yuan to buy a bottle of regret medicine. It is said that if you take one pill, you can go back to the past and change one thing...

This book was obviously written out of style. The author seems to be running an errand. Bad review.
Not very good
I originally read Ning Da's book with great enthusiasm, but the writing of this book is really below the standard.
Although it still falls into the cliche, it is still quite interesting.
The first story took a long time to set up the story, and it felt quite interesting. When the answer to the mystery was revealed at the end, it still had an anticlimactic ending, and it was still as abrupt. The second story is obviously just to make up the numbers. In fact, there is really no need for every collection of short and medium stories to have three stories. Really, it is not necessary. The third story is most worth reading. Although the ending made me sick and made me drop my phone, apart from the ending, it is still a pretty good story.
After reading the three stories, I will briefly comment on each. The beginning and plot development of the first story are actually quite attractive and easy to follow. I once thought she was a real witch, after all, the author almost made it clear at the beginning, but the identity of the fake witch that followed overturned this idea. However, since the reasons are quite sufficient, it can be considered unexpected and reasonable. After all, the title of the book is called Magic Potion. So there are only three questions at this time. 1. Magic medicine can only charm the opposite sex, why can the same sex be charmed as well? The answer given by the author is bribery with money. At first glance, it seems ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it is very realistic. It is a black humor. 2 And 3, what is the heroine's dream at the beginning? Who is the witch that the author almost explicitly states? The final twist also answers these two questions. I have to say that I personally like this ending, it is very interesting. The second story, to be honest, is short and has nothing new. The seemingly reversal ending at the end is too common in novels. Similar plots often appear in Ning Hang's novels. After reading too many times, it really doesn't make sense. The third story, this story is polarizing in my mind. On the one hand, I loved the heartwarming ending of this story and what I wanted to explore about regret. But on the other hand, perhaps the author wanted to show that regret medicine may not necessarily bring about a good ending, so he wrote the protagonist with an incomplete brain development and a completely undeveloped cerebellum. There are so many online articles about the subject of rebirth. It is really rare and the best in the world to be able to play rebirth in such a frustrating way. What's more, he is the chosen one in the rebirth novel who can travel independently. As long as he prepares carefully in advance, it won't be so miserable. Moreover, the protagonist not only has a bad mind, but also bad luck. No wonder he has to take a lucky pill in the end. In conclusion, Ning Hangyi's books are really as good as ever... The beginning and the middle development process are very attractive, but the later decryption and ending are always so disappointing. A typical anticlimax, which is a pity.
I only read the first story. In fact, the story is very simple. It is also poorly written and full of stereotypes. It doesn't feel very good.
After all, there is a good ending. Although the plot is witty, it is still not uncomfortable.

I really took the regret medicine. I'm afraid the male protagonist is not a fool😅
