    This is one of the slower-paced novels I've read in its early stages, but the author's writing is excellent. Although the pace is slow, the atmosphere is great. After reading so many fast-paced transmigration novels, it's good to occasionally enjoy a bit of relaxation. I gave this one a resounding thumbs up during my creative block! 👍

    Because her mother was born prematurely, the little baby blinks three seconds late, and when she calls "Daddy," she first purses her lips and stares blankly—Daddy holds her with tears in his eyes: "It's okay, we'll learn slowly." Her brothers take turns guarding the cradle, and even the most mischievous third brother whispers: "If my little sister reaches out for a hug, I'm willing to wait ten minutes~" The whole family enters "overprotective mode": Grandmother changes the calming incense to the lightest lily of the valley scent, afraid of disturbing her "slow thinking"; when the wet nurse feeds her porridge, she blows on it to cool it down and waits for her to stare at the bowl for half a minute before she dares to gently touch her lips.
