    Reader note

    Who can resist the combination of a "difficult system + a driven-to-mad divine doctor host + a charming, seductive male lead"? This ancient romance novel with a system theme perfectly blends lighthearted humor with ambiguous, suspenseful relationships. After finishing it, all I can say is: this overwhelming joy is finally mine! While other systems are the host's cheat codes, this one's system is a "human-shaped (coal-shaped) digger": It confidently declares "tomorrow will be sunny," only for the protagonist and a radish spirit to end up watching a sun shower in a cave; it passionately promotes a "peerless elixir," only for the protagonist to finish it and then spend the entire afternoon tap-dancing. But this lousy system somehow manages to transform the protagonist, who just wanted to slack off, into a divine doctor—forced to study, forced to collect ginseng spirits, forced to solve problems—the absurd yet plausible plot makes every chapter laugh. The "fishing beauty" male lead, a pure-hearted evolved version, is incredibly adorable. The contrast between his initial appearance and later persona, Cui Linfeng, is simply divine: initially, he's a pitiful, innocent girl whose heart races and who flees at the mere thought of his pulse by the female lead; later, he awakens his "love skills," instantly transforming into a straightforward, hooking type: wiping crumbs from her lips, demanding she "only think of me for an hour," and even emptying his wardrobe to attend a banquet while stubbornly refusing to go. This evolution from "pure-hearted to a master of seduction," coupled with the female lead's carefree attitude of "only wanting to heal the sick, who cares about the system's intelligence," creates a taut tension, making their ambiguous interactions incredibly sweet. If you're looking for a sweet novel that "doesn't require much brainpower, just pure laughter," this is the one for you! Packed with laughs and overflowing with sweetness, the "double antics" of the system and the male lead will have you laughing until you're pounding the bed.

    This revenge game disguised as a strategy game has no romantic subplot; the female protagonist is solely focused on causing trouble and getting revenge on the male protagonist. My personal interpretation of the male protagonist's feelings for her isn't love, but rather a twisted resentment. There's also a slight hint of a male supporting character having a one-sided crush on the female protagonist. The setting is a fictional world created by the author, in a game world called Paradise. Paradise is roughly a city comprised of three major gangs and some ordinary people—a truly novel concept. The female protagonist is intelligent throughout, and the author's writing is decent, not mindless.

    I wanted to use the tag "urban farming" in my online novel, but it seems this tag is only available for male-oriented content, not female-oriented content. Female-oriented content only has the "farming" tag, and that's limited to ancient settings.

    This book is rare and really good. It has virtually no overpowered plot devices, and the male lead doesn't clichédly become a yandere or insane character but grows up normally. It's a very grounded ancient Chinese romance, with a satisfying ending. It's a very enjoyable read with no major flaws; enemies get their revenge, and there's no saintly mercy.
