(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.
