“Commander, weren’t we just spending one night together?”
Kang Ba-wool is a graduate student who works hard every day.
One day, she woke up as Anne, an extra maid in a novel.
The main characters are nowhere to be seen, and the war continues.
Anne uses her memories of her previous life to enlist as a military doctor.
While working hard in the army, a handsome commander catches her eye.
Every time they meet, her body and mind sway uncontrollably, as if seeing an old lover through rippling walls…

“You were the one who seduced me first.”
“……”
“I thought you liked me quite a bit too.”
Trapped between him and the wall, Anne couldn’t say anything.
The sweet warmth lingering on his lips was too stimulating.
“Miss Anne Riley, please.”
As their eyes met, deep as the abyss,
her body, remembering the night of ecstasy, involuntarily responded.
Anne nodded her head softly.
Evan captured her small lips like a beast.
We don’t see Anne starting as a maid and gradually becoming a war medic; she is already an experienced medic (not a doctor) from the beginning, facing death daily.
I’m usually skeptical when a transmigrator or reincarnator uses their "medical knowledge" in their second life. Much of modern medicine that we take for granted developed in the past 100 years, and many novels fail to justify the presence of advanced medical technology in pre-industrial settings. To my relief, the main character (MC) admits in the first chapter that they only know CPR and basic knowledge from their background as a life sciences graduate student studying cancer cells. There’s no unrealistic disinfection of wounds with wine, for example.
The MC and the male lead (ML) fall for each other quite quickly, which seemed abrupt to me, but the description hints at a possible explanation. The primary tension in their relationship will likely stem from class differences, given that the commander is a duke (sigh).
The novel appears to be filled with intrigue and conspiracy. So far, it seems well-polished, so I hope it maintains a tight plot and good pacing. Plot holes, the leads suddenly acting foolishly due to love, or losing the pacing that creates narrative tension would all make me put the book down. Fingers crossed!
