    Reader note

    This short story, less than fifty chapters long, revealed a phenomenal author with amazing writing skills. It's the first time I've seen someone transition from the entertainment industry, and do so so quickly. The female lead is like a max-level powerhouse returning to a beginner's village, experiencing daily face-slapping moments, while the male lead is a god-level genius who loves medicine more than his family fortune. He quickly realizes his feelings for the female lead and immediately confesses his love without hesitation. The biggest regret is that the author went on strike and couldn't continue updating, so the story ended relatively quickly. However, the outline is already written, and the author promised fans a second part. I'm really looking forward to it!
