Hiya, Pure here, yep, I'm the translator of this novel. Decided to finally leave a review on this cute little story so let's get right into it.I've read this story a while back before considering even picking it up. At that time, I loved loved *loved* how Wen Yantong (our MC) was depicted, she's nothing like the average transmigrator; she's very normal, none of that 'I'm a secret agent/doctor/historical expert' stuff-- she's very human, someone the readers can relate to. We get to watch her grow, grow from the silly girl who draws Old Man Dings, Bulbasaurs, and Psyducks (and let's not forget her Neo Armstrong's Cyclone Canon sculpture) to the 'uncultured' ancients --the girl who once considered herself an outsider of this world she's been put into-- to someone whose accepted that she's part of this new world. She starts to embrace the people around her as real people with emotions and thoughts instead of just a character on a sheet of paper. And once it happens, she starts taking things seriously. There's a lot of character growth, it happens gradually. However, I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea and I respect that, so this review is a warning for those who are impatient to just avoid this novel instead of cutting it short later on. The novel's been spliced into 260ish chapters, so don't expect her to magically mature in 20. If you are looking for more innately intelligent MC, then please refer to my other project 'Chang'an Small Restaurant'; she's just as quirky, but has a higher IQ and EQ, and blends in with the ancients well.Going back to this novel, another reason why I enjoy it is bc the ML is not also not a block of ice; he cares for not only the MC, but for his friends. We rarely see ML's who have actual friends who mutually care for one another, but Chi Jingxi, once you get to know him more, is a really softie when it comes to his friends. He holds the people close to him dearly and does anything to protect them. Plus, this is again, another slow romance novel (like all the recent projects I've tled haha), the CP doesn't get together instantly, if anything, our ML despised our MC's lack of IQ for a long time xD.Oh yes, our MC does has a golden finger cheat, but it is barely used in the main plot of the story, more like a comedic add-on. This story is fairly lighthearted, I don't want to spoil anything, so this is all. Haha, otherwise, thanks for reading my blurb here... since you've already read this far, and if you haven't began reading this novel, what are you waiting for? Go, have a blast!
