    It's a short read, so you can finish it quickly. However, two points might need mentioning: first, the soul-swapping premise might be hard for some to accept; second, the female supporting character has a lot of screen time, but her character development is excellent, even rivaling the female lead. I even had to exit halfway through to confirm if it was a single-female-lead story. The death-pretending plot is brilliantly written—the emotional build-up in those dozen or so chapters is particularly well done, the foreshadowing is sufficient, and the female lead's personality transformation is portrayed exceptionally well. I highly recommend it!

If you want a feel-good story, you may want to skip this one. The low ratings have been getting me down.) Yan Mingchuan said, “Anran, I love you.” Anran was unimpressed, and utterly repulsed by him. The man before her was the nightmare of her life. Later, Anran stood before him, timidly gazing at his face with greedy longing. But he said, “Anran, there can never be anything between us.” Later still. The moon shone especially brightly that day. Yan Mingchua 2.5kReads7.1Score100Shelves

    There are angst-filled stories, with characters going through a "husband-chasing-after-the-cremation" trope, and there are also stories of true love.
