   Although this is a rebirth story, it's really different from other rebirth novels. It's the latest book by the author who wrote "Shi Ji," and it's basically pure ancient setting. The protagonist is a seductive beauty, and the male lead is upright... I don't know which position (not really). I've discovered that this guy actually has a bit of a "white-on-the-outside-but-black-on-the-outside" vibe. Mainly, this protagonist is really my type; every protagonist in the author's books is my cup of tea.
