(The highlight should be that it's unpleasant and the pace is slow. If there are any other points that people don't like, please tell me and I'll remind you)
Tao Yan is just an ordinary ordinary person. Once he traveled through time, he couldn't die if he wanted to, and he couldn't live well if he wanted to.
In order to gain a foothold, she pretended to fall into the water, thinking that if she could be saved by a scholar in the village, she could marry the scholar and have a legitimate identity.
There are several outcomes: she was rescued by the scholar, married to the scholar, served his mother, supported him in his studies, and invited him to leave the palace when he became successful.
Either the scholar didn't save her and she drowned.
Either the scholar didn't see her at all and she drowned.
In short, all the if lines have been thought out.
Just…
Good news: She was rescued.
Bad news: It's not that scholar.
Good news: She married the man who saved her.
Bad news: The man burned himself into a fool trying to save her.
