   A story about traversing countless worlds, an invincible protagonist, starting by intercepting Qin Huairu, light and relaxing, without any frustration, and featuring a ton of female leads [laughs].

   Reader note

   I found this courtyard house transmigration novel while looking for something to read. The premise involves a "hijacking system"—successfully intercepting someone earns you rewards. The story begins by changing Qin Huairu's original fate, and later, the protagonist encounters Lou Xiao'e and learns her divine medical skills. All the scheming neighbors in the courtyard will clash with the protagonist, but the conflicts are reasonable and not artificially created.

   In "feel-good" novels, the protagonists are always proactive and strategic.

    I recommend a book: Eighteen Spaces, Bound to Eighteen Regions. It's a great idea for navigating three difficult years.
