This story tells of Xu Yuan, who, after dying in his previous life, was originally born in the Hua Kingdom but was reborn in the Shun Kingdom in the same world. His appearance changed, and his age became 15. After some time figuring out his situation, he doesn't want to immediately return to his original place. He is determined to become strong and protect everyone he wants to protect in the future. He initially intended to let it go, wanting to pursue only the necessary matters, but what he witnessed was far beyond his expectations. More and more things led him to doubt, and he later discovered that the person who killed him in his previous life had also arrived in this time and space, yet retained the same appearance. Strange… things he had believed in in his past life were different, and hatred surged within him… The female protagonist, Tang Rong, is the eldest daughter of the Tang family in Shunjing, Shun Kingdom. Her family is glorious, and she possesses extraordinary talent, aptly described as "a begonia drunk in the sun, sleeping soundly." She has a quirky and mischievous personality. Later, her family is destroyed, and she vows revenge. From their first meeting at sixteen to their eventual love, they meet many companions along the way, experience many things, and feel various emotions, all moving forward and exploring for the strength that supports them. This is a fantasy world with demons, humans, and intelligent half-human, half-beast beings—the stagnant product of demons transforming into humans. This world has many cultivation systems, including attack and defense systems, each with different cultivation methods. One can form contracts with demons and fight together…

At that moment, she secretly ate sesame malt candy under the cover of a feather fan. The noise and gossip were incessant. Looking at the endless dowry behind her, she never imagined that her time travel to ancient times would allow her to experience such a grand wedding procession. However, when she was carried into the palace and saw that the king she was marrying looked exactly like her ex-boyfriend, she was dumbfounded… The female protagonist, Hao Yuanyuan, is a modern woman from the 21st century. Before her time travel, she was heartbroken after being hurt by a scumbag boyfriend. She was trying to forget her unpleasant past by traveling, but as she was walking outside a shopping mall in W City, the exterior wall above her collapsed, and a falling tile struck Hao Yuanyuan on the head, knocking her to the ground in a pool of blood. When she opened her eyes again, she was stunned. She had transmigrated to an unknown era, and was a princess on her way to a political marriage. To make matters worse, one of her maids was going to replace her and marry the King of Huaguo as Queen. Hao Yuanyuan, who hated evil, naturally wouldn't let her succeed and used her princess privileges to "reward" the maid with a hundred lashes.

    It encompasses both personal love and national duty, with numerous foreshadowing elements and richly developed characters. Song Wan, an ancient woman, possesses a gentlemanly demeanor yet is brave and resolute. She is widowed for six years, finally awaiting her husband's return, only to be estranged and driven apart by a struggle for survival in the underworld. Ultimately, she severs ties with him and lives happily ever after with the Crown Prince. Lin Yiniang, a modern woman living in ancient times, initially acts eccentrically, struggles, and suffers, but ultimately matures and grows. The novel has many uplifting moments, a captivating plot, and emotionally rich characters. I've been staying up late reading it these past few days and highly recommend it. Compared to my own novels, it feels like an ugly duckling.
