    This book is great, very enjoyable to read. The female protagonist's mother is a time traveler who caused the dynasty to deviate from its natural order, violating the laws of nature. As a result, her daughter is transported to the modern era at a very young age, becoming an orphan. Later, she travels back in time and is reunited with her mother and family. There's a family reunion later on, but overall, it's very engaging. The plot is really good. If you can accept the family reunion part, you should definitely check it out. I can't quite describe how wonderful this book is; it's just really good! [Heart emojis]
