    This is surprisingly good! The author's writing style far surpasses the number of favorites and ratings. The depiction of her frail health is excellent (okay, I kind of like sickly beauties). And who would have thought that between the scheming powerful minister and the ordinary girl who accidentally transmigrated into an assassin's body, it was the former who expressed his feelings more directly. He didn't refuse to let her go, but he also couldn't bear to let her go, so he asked if she could wait until he collapsed from his illness before leaving. Moreover, Lord Xie, who devoted himself to serving his country, was also truly wonderful. I give him a thumbs up here; Lord Xie really survived to the very end with a sliver of health.

Although our female lead is eloquent, clever, and intelligent, she should be liked, and there are no misunderstandings or entanglements, the two of them remain steadfast from beginning to end.

    Having witnessed countless bloodshed and overwhelming hatred, where everyone fights to the death, it's rare to see a couple like the male and female protagonists who compromise with each other. It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to reconcile. The female protagonist's choice is beyond reproach, but if her father really dies, they will truly never be able to go back. The later chapters feel more like a dream; perhaps the story ended when that fire was lit.

    I initially intended to read it as a cultivation and growth story, but later discovered it was a dual redemption tale. However, the word "redemption" doesn't quite fit their situation, because in each of their lives they strive to save themselves. It's not so much about following a predetermined path, but rather, in this second life, they still want to do their best. What's already a regret may be irreparable, but they can't bear to watch those around them repeat the same mistakes. What's even more heartbreaking is the sheer number of female characters in the story. For a story written five years ago, to see this aspect is truly remarkable. The world can't bear to see them take up arms and rebel; they prefer them to be obedient and submissive. But these women rebelled thoroughly.

    Curator note

    It's safe to say the female lead truly lives up to her reputation as a psychologist; she could see through his abnormality in a crowd and maintain her rational love for him even as his behavior became increasingly obsessive. Such a distorted love would cause pain for both of them, but she would affirm him and tell him he shouldn't act this way. Her leaving was simply to set him free. The male lead's suffering stemmed from his excessive kindness. Although he changed considerably later, he remained the same gentle boy who constantly tried to rebel. However, the plot largely felt like it was pushing them to this point, which felt slightly contrived. Even if certain issues couldn't be resolved satisfactorily, the female lead should have had the right to know. Overall, I'd give it a 4 out of 10.

She's even more vibrant in this life than in the last. Compared to the male lead's forceful acquisition in the previous life, his gradual and deliberate pursuit in this life is much more touching. Whether it's an act or not, at least he learned to let go and give her what she wanted. And she, in turn, lived up to expectations by presenting him with a more vibrant version of herself. Of course, the romantic relationship is secondary; the friendship between classmates and teachers is what I loved most.

    This bittersweet feeling is just right! As I read page after page, I felt like I was back when countless romance novels were laid out before me, and I instantly fell in love with Tengluo Weizhi's work. Actually, I hadn't read the author before finishing it; I just thought the innocent girl who didn't understand love but understood universal love and the resilient boy who, through the girl, understood both love and universal love, were so lovable. Knowing the author made it all seem both natural and a little disappointing. It was a pity the ending felt rushed and clichéd. Even after seeing the foreshadowing, I knew this was probably the only way to resolve the situation. Although it was a happy ending, it felt like it lacked some drama. The epilogue, however, filled that void. So, the author's writing is really good; please don't stop reading! [Pity][pity][pity]
