    Reader note

    I highly recommend this novel. The author, Xiaoxu, has a delicate and skillful writing style, a humorous and witty tone, and handles plot points well with strong logic. The writing doesn't feel disjointed or jump from one topic to another. It's truly a rare gem of an author and a great story. The characters of the male and female leads are also exceptionally well-developed! The female lead's character and values are fantastic and upright! She's beautiful, kind, independent, intelligent, and kind with a sharp edge. She's neither a naive or overly virtuous woman; she knows when to be charming and when to be assertive, proving she can handle anything without a man. She's a truly radiant girl, worthy of being called a goddess descended from heaven. The male lead is also irresistibly charming—it's wonderful! It's also worth mentioning that many of the folk remedies mentioned in the story are things I, as a commoner, have even heard of. I must commend the author; their knowledge is astounding! The writing creates a truly immersive experience!
