The premise about this is simple but I find its delivered in really serious way. It dared to touch the fundamental thing about integrating someone into a modern society, especially that of China. It sometimes become boring narrative of how people should live, but that is the realization that someone from old times won't just fit right in, there are efforts to be made: how she learn the technology, how she learn the way of life, how she learn the knowledge (MC taught FMC everything from scratch via homeschooling), how she learn to earn, and how they prepare for living together.
I had thought MC is a scum who tried to throw himself at FMC all the time, but you can't just do it when the woman is an adept martial artist several times stronger than you. While there are ways to go around that, MC is not playing dirty to get his way. In fact, XuQing may look too good at times, but I kinda like him that way. The way he took life seriously, and plan ahead is exemplary, and is rare to see in a manga (although this was LN first, but still). Another point that I really really appreciate is that this doesn't become harem. I think I rarely find one such series nowadays, and it is refreshing to see just the two of them getting closer

I love manhuas, they are always weird, and this is one of those examples. Simply put, it's about a person living in the modern era finding a woman from the past. I won't spoil much, so it's just another typical romance.
There are always exaggerations in manhuas like this, for good reasons, it usually makes it funnier, but after a while, it gets pretty repetitive.
Also, to "Helbrassen" who posted "The main character is an ass. And living in China is not glamorous.", although I do agree with most of your points, some of them are just plain wrong,
on your line " This Manhwa takes place in modern-day China a country that has had a 1 child policy for decades, this means that if a family has a second child the mother is forced to have an abortion, this also means that if that same mother does not get an abortion and gives birth secretly that the baby has no identity, because if its illigal to have more than 1 child you can't report that you had a second one especially if you're poor." This series started around 2022, when, China was already using a two-child policy, not to mention, right now in 2023, China moved to a three-child policy instead since the birth rate in China has decreased a bit too much since the one-child policy.
I am not supporting the one-child policy in any way, numerous families have suffered from it, but what I want to do is point out the errors that no longer apply to China in a non-biased way.

Stockholm syndrome cultivation.
Extremely repetitive.
Yes China has its bad apples but so is Japan and hello there are Japanese anime that portrayed its police force as good guys such as Burn Up and in reality Japan's police is corrupt and flawed as well. China has good things too and yes there are even good police officers same with Japan.
The story started off great (in my opinion anyways) it had direction it was going in which was to get FL acclimated to the modern era and find a way to get her identification papers somehow. The story skews of into a ditch after and hasn't gotten back on to the road.
The romance is mind numbingly slow even compared to other slice-of-life romance manhuas. Early on the ML would take the FL out on "dates" of sorts but now they're 90% in the apartment with very few trips outside to get groceries. The story for the last 100 chapters has been the FL working on her gaming stream, and the ML boringly piecing together chainmail links to create...... well...... Chainmail and guess what? He's not even half complete on it.
Seriously this is wayyyyyyyy beyond getting dropped for me the way it has been now.
This is one of the many worst romance stoies ever. The two are playing husband wife and they stay in the same house but nothing happens. This is how humans are right😕 This is how "romance" works right😕
I am 99.9% sure this dork author will make them play husband wife until the end of story when they finally decide to move forward with their relationship and marry or whatever bs the author finally decided.
This is one of many inhumane romance stories that make no sense. Another story example is when mc and fmc play husband wife, and then dork author makes them find some special child. Mc and fmc adopt this child and they play family throughout the whole story.
I don't know who these authors are but I imagine them to be rabbit teeth dorks.
Isn't it great? 8/10
