   The female lead is a time traveler, a sweet, naive, and easily-swayed crybaby, not a strong female lead, but someone who loves to act cute and is innocent. The male lead is a reborn character, a stubborn but soft-hearted, pure-hearted, and devoted type. He's incredibly insecure; the female lead misses him terribly and cries easily when they're apart for even a short while, and loves to be hugged every day. The male lead, reborn, initially planned to take revenge on the vicious female lead who harmed him in his past life, but unexpectedly, she transformed into a bold, enthusiastic, naive, and affectionate type who is genuinely dependent on him. He goes from being indifferent to indulging and doting on her, often holding her in his arms and pampering her. It's a very sweet story. The reborn Xie Yanci really loves the time-traveling Wen Ruxian! The low rating doesn't matter; what matters is that it's good.
