The heroine Zhao Wumian is a successor who traveled through time. She is generous and broad-minded. She has a bottom line in her outlook on life. She is neither sick nor slow, neither irritable nor impatient. She is a good person with a very upright heart. She also beats and kills people. But I don't know how many people she has protected in this half of her life. She is smart and kind-hearted but also ruthless. She always pities those women and protects those pregnant women. I sincerely hope that each of them can give birth safely.
