    This is the only historical fiction novel I could actually finish. I don't like historical fiction with time travel, spatial abilities, or black markets. This one is about rebirth, and the female lead's return to her past life later on is quite engaging. Most importantly, there aren't too many melodramatic misunderstandings, no awful relatives, the female lead comes from a good family, the male lead is an orphan, there are no side couples, and the next generation isn't overly described. Unlike another novel I read before, which started off well, but then the female lead's daughter fell in love with her uncle (not her biological uncle, but this uncle was previously her suitor). Another novel also started off well, but the author used the same plot for three lifetimes: rebirth, the previous life, and another rebirth, constantly entangled with a group of people, and even the son, a nobody, falls for the daughter of the female lead's enemy—falling in love in three lifetimes! I don't know what the author was thinking.
