To start I'd like to say that this novel is translated very well and very consistently, which is a huge plus considering all the other novels on this site which a borderline incomprehensible because of bad translations. Also, the age gap didn't bother me as much as it bothered some other reviewers. MC is a reborn person, so even though the body she is occupying is technically only 15, her mental age is in the mid 20s which is much less weird. Unfortunately, despite being some sort of super doctor, the FL is cast in the role of the weak damsel in distress for the ML to save in pretty much all situations, even when it doesn't make much sense. For example, in an early arc of the story the FL volunteers to go up a dangerous mountain alone to pick herbs for the ML. In her internal monologue, she talks about how she used to roam all over mountains and forests to pick herbs in her previous life, so she knows how to protect herself and there should be no danger ...but then when she actually goes up the mountain, she instantly falls into a hopeless predicament and can only rely on the ML to save her. Like 4 times in a row. And that's just one example. Pretty much every physically dangerous scenario in the book (up to chapter 300 at least) is resolved by the ML arriving on his white horse and "heroically" saving the FL so she can blush and swoon. If you're into that style of romance (with one side protecting and the other being protected), then the romance between the two leads in this book is decent enough. The ML also spends a lot of time wooing the FL and his interactions with her in the process are cute and sweet. He is super domineering and possessive, but also at least somewhat respectful of the FL's boundaries. To put it bluntly, at least in the first 300 chapters, he doesn't ever r*pe her - which puts him a step above a lot of other MLs in similar books - but he does do a lot of creepy stuff like coming into her room in the middle of the night and using his position to force her to marry him, even over the objections of both her and her family members. If you can turn a blind eye to some of the more troubling elements of the story, it's a fairly good fluffy romance type book laced with occasional intrigue as the FL deals with her evil half-sister.
