Reborn with the Fragrance of Medicine

This was the first novel by hope Xing that I read, and I loved it then and I still do. Although I enjoy his other works, this one holds special meaning for me, like a first love.

So many comments in the comment section say they dislike Cao Shi. I think that although she was a bit timid, easily taken advantage of, and had some old-fashioned ideas at the time, she was indeed a very good mother to her children. Despite the threats from that woman in the Shen family, she didn't abandon her daughter for the sake of her son's future.

Does nobody like Xin Chaoyang? He's my ideal type. On the contrary, I think he's really the most suitable for the female lead. My favorite character in this book is actually Gu Yu. I love it so much It's a shame there's no character ranking. Unable to vote Otherwise, you'd know which male lead is the most popular. Did everyone choose Prince Wen?

Yaoxiang participated in this week's classic PK, and I also reread Yaoxiang. Reading Shibalang again after so many years still evoked the same emotions, admiration, and heartache I felt the first time I read it. Although I now really like Qing Shao, almost to the point of being swayed by him, Shibalang still holds a special place in my heart, undiminished by the passage of time. How I am—able to appreciate the new without abandoning the old! 🤭🤭🤭

Forgive my poor eyesight, but Shiba Niang, Xin Chaoyang, Ling Yuan, Shen Qianfu, and Prince Wen all seemed to have good feelings for each other. Hehehehehehe, the ending was quite good, but I really disliked Xin Chaoyang. I liked Prince Wen, even though he wasn't a good match. Hehehehehe.

The book is good, but the ending is really melodramatic. Because of what happened in her past life, she can't forgive the man surnamed Shen, yet she ends up marrying someone who constantly schemed against her in the early stages of this life. To put it bluntly, the whole Health Treasure and Tang incident was orchestrated by the man surnamed Xin.

What I find most remarkable about Xi Xing is her portrayal of characters who have been reborn or transmigrated. Each character, having experienced such significant events, doesn't appear as composed and self-assured as protagonists in other novels. Instead, each carries strong imprints of their past lives, their experiences leaving deep marks.

This book is great in every way, except I don't like the ending. Why did the female lead rush into marrying Xin Chaoyang? I could have accepted it if they hadn't married; I always felt they were just business partners. I feel sorry for Prince Wen.

The fragrance of medicine during rebirth is so captivating that it's hard to put down. The writing is fluent, and although it's a bit gloomy, it's very eye-catching.

I came here because of hope Xing's reputation. I've only read 12 chapters so far. How to put it? The characters are very realistic and fleshed out, but I just feel so stifled while reading. Maybe it's because this novel was written quite early; back then, this kind of storytelling was popular—first suppressing the protagonist, then finally letting them shine, but by then it's already over.
