    This story combines elements of time travel, a strong female lead, a beloved character, a satisfying read, ensemble cast, love at first sight, and medical skills. The ensemble acting is excellent, with multi-layered and well-developed characters that add depth and suspense to the narrative. Each character possesses distinct personality traits and actions, moving beyond simple good-versus-evil dichotomies to reveal the complexities of human nature amidst chaos.

    Book 1: It's very good, but the male lead is disgusting 🤢 I don't like him at all. I suggest deleting it directly, or making him a supporting character. I feel sorry for Xi Yan and Fei Yao; they had to be killed off even in the finale. Book 2: Hoping Si Jiu recovers and gets back together with Xia Nana; hoping Si Jiu returns to Jiang Xu's side and they can reunite.
