   It's the kind of story that unfolds slowly and steadily; I'll read it whenever I'm looking for something to read. It's a top-notch historical fiction, with no male lead and no romantic subplot. It's just a pity that the relationship with the modern world is severed too abruptly later on, which feels somewhat heartless.

   A wonderful period drama about a beloved female lead. Although she's incredibly strong and has a special ability, she doesn't rely on it. I think she embodies the principle of "being self-reliant when poor, and helping others when successful." She revived traditional Chinese medicine in that era and rigorously promoted its development! The family atmosphere is also great, with a simple and unpretentious feel to life. The only regret is the lack of a male lead 😄
