This was an emotionally uplifting novel. I found Li Zhen Zhu's character (FL) enchanting, with her kindhearted, innocent, and pure nature. Some might label her naive, but she possessed a unique code of ethics and intelligence beyond her lack of formal education. She complemented Shen Tong Guang (ML) beautifully; despite his initial manipulations and dual identity, he evolved into a devoted husband, cherishing her for who she was and loving her deeply.
As for Xie Wu Chen (the ex-husband), his remorse came too late. The villagers, too, were portrayed as善良的人。 The additional chapters tugged at my heartstrings, as the love story between a mortal and an immortal was bittersweet, due to the stark contrast in life spans. ML patiently waited for FL's reincarnation, by her side, year after year, with his simple breads as a testament to his unwavering devotion.
