   Zhen Xiaosi woke up slightly earlier than usual. Outside the window, the morning light in Chang'an was still a pale blue, like a crab shell. In the distance, the sounds of gates opening and carriages beginning to move could be faintly heard, mixed with the clear tones of morning bells. She sat up, wrapped in her quilt, the silky soft touch against her arm—these were newly changed bedding, made of the finest "Fuanna" fabric. She had given it this name privately, stemming from a vague yet warm brand impression deep in her memory. In reality, it was made from the finest white cotton cloth from Gaochang in the Western Regions, purchased at the West Market, and then altered by the most skilled dyers and embroiderers, based on a style from her modern memories. The fabric was said to originate from the sun-drenched, fertile lands of the far west, where the sunshine was exceptionally long and the irrigation water was crystal clear and pure. This resulted in exceptionally white and soft fabric with long, strong fibers, producing a remarkably delicate feel. It was both gentle against the skin and breathable, unlike ordinary, heavy brocade quilts which could feel stuffy after prolonged use. She had it specially made in the style of a fitted sheet, with the four corners tightly enclosing the mattress on the bed, ensuring that no matter how much she tossed and turned at night, the sheets remained smooth and flat, and the bed felt comfortable and tidy in the morning.

    Unfortunately, slow-paced stories don't always appeal to readers. This book's rebirth isn't a typical example of a transmigration story with no system, hijacking, or a legendary beauty (the early pacing is slow due to the earlier timeline and the fact that it's not about Cao Cao, but each character has their own romantic storyline, and the story doesn't end abruptly).

    This book has a decent premise, though the second female lead appears late in the story. The writing is alright, and the world-building is based on a people-centered philosophy. It's worth reading patiently.
