Had high hopes and I insisted on keeping going at least until I reached the halfway point LOL. Unfortunately, after I got there, I instantly felt like quitting T.T It's not a bad novel, per se. But it's the type that's best to read if you want something casual. You know, the type were you turn your brain off and just enjoy the face-slapping and such. To be more specific, the premise of the novel is as follows: The FL is a powerful scientist from the interstellar era that was fussing about with time --- causing her consciousness to end up travelling back into the past (or an alternate reality's version of the past) until she ended up possessing the original owner (same name, Xiao Xiao) . The original owner had been caught up in a brain-burning fever after being married to the village bully (the ML, Wang Wei).The rest of the story that follows has the two slowly falling in love, which is not bad. The ML is not your typical overbearing president type. To be frank, he's a tsundere that the FL hooks easily with a couple of coaxing words. He's pretty cute, let's just say. The FL is not bad either, but her foundation is a bit shaky (she's definitely a Mary Sue-type). I liked reading their story, but this ended up being more about family drama. The ML's family abandoned him when he was young and were forced to take care of him --- causing an uncrossable gap. Meanwhile, the original owner's parents are feudalistic and only care about their son and not their daughter. Such and such drama occur. Resulting into a lot of face-slapping and such. I was not up for it, and so I dropped the novel early.RATING: 2.85/5In my opinion, this is a so-so novel. It's not bad, but it's not exactly good either. But, that's just based on my preferences. If you like slice of life romance with lots of family drama and faceslapping, then you might like it more than I do~ As for the matter of the unfinished TL, the MTL is surprisingly readable (around 75%) so it's not bad to try to see if it's something that you can enjoy in the end.
