I'm really digging how this story handles the whole "dying together" scene. Both of them just stab each other, look at each other, and fall to the ground simultaneously. No dramatic last words, no final speeches. Just two people dragged down by their roles and dying together in a wilderness. It's such a bleak but fitting end for the original owner. And it makes the protagonist's second chance feel earned and fragile.
I really love how Du Qingyang just rolls with the whole transmigration thing. Like, she's a med grad student one minute, wakes up in a book the next, and her first instinct is to try and drown herself again to go back. That's such a real, impulsive "I want out" reaction. The shallow pond gag had me cracking up—imagine jumping into a puddle and being like "well, this won't work." It's that mix of desperation and dark humor that makes the story feel fresh. I was half-expecting her to just sulk or panic, but instead she just ran out and tried to off herself again. Brutally honest and kinda relatable, honestly.
The text hints that Wen Li was bombed in Nanyang and the perpetrator is still alive. This implies she has enemies in the underworld. And now she's under the roof of a superstitious family that thinks she's unlucky. The irony is rich. She has more life experience than all of them combined.
