   Lin Man's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the man. His aura was completely out of place with his surroundings, as if he had traveled from another time and space. Her heart raced uncontrollably, and blurry fragments of memory flashed through her mind—those hands in latex gloves, those gold-rimmed glasses… Could it be him? The man seemed to notice her gaze, turning his head slightly to meet her eyes. Lin Man hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to focus intently on the dishes on the table, her cheeks slightly flushed. She inwardly scolded herself: Lin Man, you're someone who's been reborn from the apocalypse, what storms haven't you weathered? How come you're acting like a naive little girl now? The man didn't linger, heading straight to the counter and quietly ordering a few dishes. The waiter's attitude was noticeably more respectful than towards other customers, even bordering on obsequious. Lin Man pricked up her ears, vaguely hearing conversations like "Dr. Gu," and "What brings you here today?" Dr. Gu? Lin Man's heart skipped a beat. Could he be the male doctor who performed her surgery that day? Her feelings became complicated, a mixture of embarrassment and curiosity. After all, she had nearly "died" on the operating table that day. Soon after, the man's food was served. He chose a seat by the window, elegantly picking up his chopsticks with unhurried movements. Lin Man stole a glance at him, finding his eating manner particularly pleasing to the eye, as if every movement was meticulously planned. She looked down at the braised pork and rice in front of her, suddenly feeling a bit bored. Just then, the man suddenly looked up, his gaze meeting hers again. This time, he didn't look away, but smiled slightly and nodded. Lin Man froze, then forced a smile in response. Her heart pounded even faster, her mind a jumble: What did he mean? Did he recognize her? Or was it just a polite smile? As she was lost in thought, the man suddenly stood up, carrying the food towards her. Lin Man panicked, nearly dropping her chopsticks. "Comrade, is this seat taken?" The man's voice was deep and gentle, carrying a hint of imperious politeness. Lin Man shook her head, stammering, "No, no one's here." The man sat down opposite her, put down his food, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled, "I see you're eating alone, it looks lonely. You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" Lin Man quickly shook her head, "No, no, I don't mind." The man smiled and began to eat. Lin Man, however, felt a complete loss of appetite; her mind was filled with his long, slender hands and those gold-rimmed glasses. She secretly observed him, noticing his long, white fingers and neatly trimmed nails—completely unlike a doctor's hands. "What's your name?" The man suddenly asked. Lin Man was startled, instinctively answering, "Lin Man." "Lin Man..." The man repeated softly, as if savoring the nuances of the name. He looked up, his gaze deep and intense, "My name is Gu Yan, I'm a doctor at the city hospital." Lin Man's heart skipped a beat. It really was him! She nodded, forcing herself to remain calm. "Dr. Gu, hello." Gu Yan smiled slightly. "Have we met somewhere before?" Lin Man froze, the scene on the operating table flashing through her mind. She gave a dry laugh. "I don't think so. I rarely go to the hospital." Gu Yan nodded thoughtfully, not pressing further. The two ate in silence for a while, the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Just then, the restaurant door opened again, and several young men in military uniforms walked in. As soon as they saw Gu Yan, they greeted him warmly. "Dr. Gu, what are you doing here?" Gu Yan stood up and replied with a smile, "I'm off today, just having a meal." One of the young men looked at Lin Man and teased, "Oh, Dr. Gu, who is this?" Lin Man's face instantly turned red, and she quickly waved her hands. "We're just sharing a table, we don't know each other." Gu Yan smiled but didn't explain. The young men didn't ask any further questions, found a seat, and began ordering. Lin Man felt that staying any longer would only make things more awkward, so she quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, stood up, and said, "Dr. Gu, I'm finished eating. I'll be going now." Gu Yan nodded and smiled, "Okay, take care on your way." Lin Man felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders and quickly walked out of the restaurant. She took a deep breath and secretly vowed: I'll never come to this restaurant again! However, she didn't know that Gu Yan's gaze followed her retreating figure until she disappeared around the street corner. He looked down at his hands, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Lin Man... We'll see each other again soon."

   Highly recommend this book! It has a strong historical romance feel, and the author presents a relatively realistic ancient world, largely recreating that era. It provides detailed descriptions of the daily life in feudal families, including food, clothing, and other necessities. A true lady of high society should be like Song Wan. While the actions of the time-traveling woman at the beginning have been criticized by many, unlike other novels, she grows throughout the story, especially shining brightly when she offers strategic advice during national crises. This character left a deep impression on me. The second male lead, who secretly loves the female lead but sacrifices himself for her, is a source of great regret; the female lead never knew his feelings until his death. Every character in the book is fleshed out, with real flesh and blood. It leaves a lasting impression after reading.

And the constant face-slapping is so incredibly satisfying!!

    Dear readers, don't panic if you're experiencing a reading slump! This novel, "The Peerless Eldest Daughter Opens Her Eyes and Becomes the Darling of Royal Families Around the World," will absolutely satisfy all your expectations for historical romance. It features rebirth, revenge against scumbags, and sweet romance, with a captivating and suspenseful plot that will keep you hooked! In her past life, the heroine, Su Li, was blinded by love and trust, mistakenly trusting a scumbag and helping him ascend to a high position, only to be cruelly betrayed after his usefulness was over. Not only were her maternal grandfather's family and her honest father, a high-ranking official, falsely accused and executed, but she herself also died with her unborn child, dying with unresolved grievances. Reborn, Su Li vows to protect her family and exact revenge on the scumbag and the vile woman. When the scars on her face fade, her stunning beauty amazes the world, and her extraordinary medical skills astound all. In the early stages, Su Li remains calm and collected, secretly plotting and gradually luring those who harmed her in her past life into traps. Facing the schemes of her scumbag husband and half-sister, she cleverly defuses the situation and even makes them reap what they sow. For example, when the scumbag wanted her maternal grandfather's military token to curry favor with the new emperor, she not only cleverly protected the token but also exposed the scumbag's wolfish ambitions, causing him to lose power in the court.
