To save everyone time, I'll just tell you that the first 39 ch were completely blah. Basically what happens: 1. Reborn FL has a voice in her head that tells her she NEEDS to save ML from his accident 2. ML is aloof ice cube who conveniently gets "people/relationships" amnesia 3. Believes FL when she says she's his gf 4. The rest of the story is rich guy automatically liking her & FL needing to make up lies to fill plot holes (+ more filler like white lotus drama, "old crush who rejected her and now wants to pursue her" drama) Why it's mediocre 1. Never explained the whole "voice in head" thing 2. ML falls in love too quickly for how his character was built pre-accident and the whole world is confused 3. ML is supposed to be super rich, op, big ceo energy. But he's weirdly dumb with FL and it throws me off (not whipped husband/spoils her type but "ok I'll believe everything you say" type) 4. FL is lowkey annoying, just lies constantly without explaining anything, basically using ML. She's def not in love with him and keeps distancing herself. 5. School drama, family drama is like every other white lotus/bad parent story (FL can stand up for herself though, so there's that) Only thing new is her biological brothers both have a "disability" but really one's a genius & the other has bad temper. Not sure if author's gonna explore the disabilities and their stigmas bc right now it's just being thrown around as an insult. Anyways it's a no for me, but you do you.

(LONG REVIEW) Don't be thrown off by the synopsis, it really doesn't do the novel any justice. It makes it seem like any other transmigration novel out there. Set up: 1. Modern day strong FL in body of weak ancient woman 2. ML (powerful) currently living humble life as a monk next door BUT: 1. *NOT* a cultivation novel, no focus on fighting or training etc. Just enough jump rope to get a healthy body that won't die in the winter. 2. "Weak body" doesn't magically become strong and gets revenge like every other novel ever. FL is MENTALLY STRONG/STREET SMART but still physically weak (docile, need ML protection in the form of shelter, hugs and care). 3. FL x ML have slow burn romance, it slowly builds but it's SO wholesome. Not the "hey I laid my eyes on you, now you're mine!!" For pacing, by 39 ch they are both very much aware of their feelings and openly flirt. The fluff starts very early on, not like the ones where you wait 100 ch for them to be like "ooh what is this feeling" and then another 100 for maybe a kiss. 4. Currently takes place in a TEMPLE. No palace fighting (as of now), no consort ranks, no schemes or poison etc. Just good ol nature and homemade food delivery for fluffy goodness. G-rated flirting, but you can totally tell they like each other. 5. NO OTHER LOVE INTEREST. ML is focused only on FL. And she's bold enough to say that she can't share her man. Boy will be whipped in the future. 6. Great character design and world building. The characters are so fleshed out and the way they react has so much personality. Not like other novels where servants are cared for, but are basically background props in terms of personality. s/o to ML's servant for being best wingman.

39 chapters in, this one's not bad! It's not terribly cliche. Kind of refreshing, actually. Non-cliches - FL was temp kicked out of entertainment scene, but instead of being a damsel in distress...she goes back to being a rightful CEO of a top company - no stepmom, no evil sister - FL isn't an orphan or swapped at birth or anything - FL/ML are exes PROS - Friendship between FL & her bestie is amazing. Women supporting women, we stan. Friends on this site are usually trash and shallow, but here they're so supportive and loving. - FL is crazy independent and good at faceslaps. She's smart while also being a decent human being. So not one of those annoying faceslap robots with no class. - ML is so doting. Obviously he gets jealous, but he doesn't act on it. We just sense it in the scenes when he's at work or something. And yet he's her #1 support and totally backs her up (aka he doesn't take out his jealousy/stress on FL and she literally has no idea about all the help he's given her). Healthy relationship, we stan. CONS - FL...pls just love ML soon TT. It's been 39 ch and I want some sweetness. (Anyways, no major cons. Even her biological family ships them. EVERYONE ships them. So just need to read more to figure out why they're exes and not happily married.)

Usually I don't reply to others' opinions, but I have to highly disagree with your view on rape. I know a couple victims myself and it's not something you just magically "move on" from and pretend it didn't happen. You're treating it too lightly. Rape is more than physical harm and affects the person in every which way. Rape is a CRIME. What in the world is "best rape"? That's such a big offense to rape victims. Should they be grateful just because they survived? Is FL "lucky" to have her rapist dote on her? I think she'd rather not have been raped. And yes, the rapist being rich has everything to do with it. He wouldn't be ML if he couldn't provide for her. Woo her. If he wasn't rich and powerful, he would be in JAIL for his crime. So while you may think the ML is great, in my eyes, he's a criminal. No matter how well he treats her, it won't make up for the harm he placed on her...out of his own selfishness. He KNEW that she wasn't in her right state of mind and absolutely took advantage of that. Again, y'all are free to read anything you want. You can even be this book's #1 fan if you want. I'm not here to attack you on your preferences, I'm just here to defend my stance on rape.

(As of 13 ch) Anyone watched "Crash Landing on You"? The first couple of episodes. It has the vibes of entitled, rich, "im a queen" Seri who gets into forbidden territory and then gets upset at everyone who's doing their jobs. Entitled superstar FL x soldier ML. Don't ship them. He deserves better lmao. FL throws a giant tantrum and flaunts her status when she's caught and is upset with ML for changing her clothes (not caring that he saved her superstar skin from scars and gave her the needed first aid) 🙄 ML is your typical cold soldier dude but he clearly has a soft spot for FL (who knows why lmao her character isn't lovable at all, so it must be her body). Anyways, they'll probably fall in love but I won't be here for it. FL is trash.

Sorry I find this hilarious 😂 Qi can mean "seven" but he's called "two". I say "can mean" because characters can have the same spelling but different meaning :)

Stop romanticizing rape. Stop making girls fall in love with their rapists. No one gives a damn if the rapist is rich. I lasted a fat 11 chapters and really couldn't read anymore. You're better off reading something else. First, sloppy writing. No intros and we're just thrown in a world of characters and schemes. Second, RAPE. Domineering trash ML. Forces himself on her, embarrasses her in front of others, threatens her if she dares abort/take morning after pill. Really, if it's not consensual *** it's RAPE. FL falls for the whole aphrodisiac scheme and gets caught by the "bf", "friend" and whole family etc. Yada yada. Been there, done that. Read something else people.

Mmm...the issue with this being a romance novel is that I don't ship ML x FL. ML deserves better. FL is an ancient empress aka overbearingly strong, defiant, "my way or the highway" and doesn't listen to anyone. ML is your typical overbearing alpha male CEO, who also doesn't listen to anyone. BUT he's trying really hard to be good to FL, but sucks at expressing words. PROS 1. Talented FL: she's physically strong, talented in traditional medicine 2. Independent: doesn't falter when people tarnish her name and is going to find ways to find truth CONS 1. Empress role play: I *get* that she used to be an empress but it's annoying that she isn't adapted yet. The author even said something like "she got used to the new world in just 1 day" but she keep comparing ML to the old emperor, which is really unfair to him. And she even calls him "emperor" and can't use modern technology. 2. FL doesn't own up to mistakes: there's always an excuse for everything. Blew up the kitchen? "how was I supposed to know wires". Kicked ML off bed? "why was he there in the first place" IDK. It's really annoying, FL doesn't have a sense of responsibility. 3. I JUST DON'T SHIP THEM. Tbh ML just deserves better. FL doesn't care about him yet he's doing all these things behind the scenes to help her out. It's probably the first novel where a strong female lead is a bad thing, for me. She's annoyingly stubborn and doesn't consider the people around her at all. No friends, family, close coworkers etc.

Hmm.. I'm on the fence, 39 ch in. PROS: not the typical transmigration novel, not the typical FL CONS: not exactly a fan of FL ___ Basically FL lands in the body of a third-rate scheming b*tch, and usually in other novels, they miraculously fix their personality and become kind right? LOL nope, not in this one. Her acting skills get better and she's no longer interested in the main actor, but her personality is quite... something. She's loud, outspoken, "my way or the highway", and has almost no sense of shame or embarrassment? Like it's hard to connect with her and love her because she's just so 4D absurd. She's still kind of evil and plots her way into advantages so it's not even like she has a clean slate. *AND she'd never get away with her tactics if it wasn't for the support/sudden appearance of ML or dad who she doesn't appreciate enough and is taking adv of. At this point, I'm not even rooting for her. Yknow in other novels you feel bad for the FL and you're like "poor bb you don't deserve this, LET'S GET REVENGE". But here I'm kinda like "mmm girl, sorry but you kind of deserve lmao." I just want her to be a good human and fix her relationships with people (dad, ML). She purposely sought ML out because his body's weak and she'll be rich if he dies. She's taking shelter/money/babysitting from dad & acts like a tsundere and is fighting with him all the time. The bickering with her dad is somewhat entertaining in the beginning and then as you keep reading you kind of just want them to stop being annoying. Her redeeming qualities? I guess she's a good mom and loves her new son like it's her own. Their relationship is cute. Tldr: It's definitely different but my brain hurts reading it. Reading about this FL and her interactions with others...sighs.

As far as I remember, they seem to be around the same age. And technically no, because he just has a fiancee. But he makes it very clear that she's just a fiancee in name & he'll still have lovers.
