I like that Qi Ying didn't force Ji Rang to make up with his family. She defended him and understood that his feelings are valid. From the beginning, it was like that.
Other dumb angelic MCs might convince their ML to make up.
Another thing that I like is how their experiences shaped their dreams. Qi Ying wanted to be a doctor so the general won't leave her. Ji Rang wanted to be a policeman eventually to protect her. In the end, he managed to grow from his bad experiences and realize his old dreams.
Policeman Han was an amazing plot instrument. I liked how his appearance made Qi Ying and Ji Rang have a hero of some sort. At least, he served as one.
At first I was a bit mad at the author for letting Qi Ying and Ji Rang experience something horrible again. Why does bad things always happen to people that needs more happy things in their lives? Turns out, it was for that reason.
[collapse]If there are things that irked me, it was Qi Ying's way of seeing Ji Rang. In the beginning, she actively sees him as the general. In my opinion, he is already not the general but a different person. But since Qi Ying came from the past and is superstitious, I accepted that.As for Ji Rang, I don't like how he always sees Qi Ying as obedient. Yes, she is obedient and maybe her past life has something to do with that. But it's been repeatedly said.Other characters are one dimensional. In fact. At the latter stages (around university arc), Qi Ying and Ji Rang stopped growing as people. It seemed like both of them have become perfect individuals who are so inlove. That's it. The only motivation for me to keep on reading is waiting for something in store. But there was none as satisfying as the previous chapters.I'm not particularly interested in the extras. Just skipped to the last chapter of Extra 2 and bathed in the bit of angst from their past life. Was too uninterested in the other extras.To be honest, I feel like this should be a 3. But since I liked the beginning a bit, emphasis on the time they have to live with their past experiences, I will rate it 4 stars. It's not particularly accurate. There are still parts that irked me like how the narrative sometimes downplayed how the characters are feeling. But it is so much better than how other reincarnation/transmigration novels deal with past traumas. I think there should be credit for that.The story have more potential buy because on its focus on fluffyness and the execution, iy didn't make the characters more dynamic and seem like people.
