Let me just start by saying—the Dimensional Space scenes are where this story gets genuinely unsettling. Not in a horror way, but in a "this woman has built an entire secret civilization inside her mind and I don't know if that's impressive or deeply concerning" way. The kitchen scene alone is wild. Su Mi opens a refrigerator, takes out wontons, cooks them. And the text explicitly tells us: "Any food placed inside had no expiration date—not that it wouldn't spoil, but it simply wouldn't deteriorate. Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius would remain at exactly 100 degrees even after a year." Think about that. Physics doesn't apply. Time doesn't apply. This isn't just a storage space—this is a bubble where the fundamental laws of reality are different. And she's using it to cook frozen wontons like it's nothing. The medicinal herb field—half an acre, but "infused with spiritual energy, making their medicinal effects hundreds of times stronger than ordinary herbs." And the accelerated time flow shortens growth periods. She's essentially running a pharmaceutical empire inside her head while pretending to be a rural educated youth. But the most cinematic moment has to be the ability development scene. She strips completely naked, holds a golden needle in one hand and colorful Zombie Crystal Cores in the other. Each color represents a different type of Supernatural Ability energy. She's undergoing this painful transformation, energy impacting her meridians, and the text just... describes it clinically. Like she's done this before. Because she has. "After enduring the excruciating pain of the energy impacting her meridians, Su Mi finally developed two abilities." Excruciating pain. She endured it. And her reaction isn't trauma—it's joy. "This result filled Su Mi with immense joy." She's been through an apocalypse, died, come back, and her first thought is "great, now I have plant powers and psychic powers, let me go make wonton soup." The village itself is painted in such vivid, harsh detail. No doctor. Minor ailments endured, serious illnesses mean either money or death. The militiamen patrolling. The rusty fountain pen with rust stains. The thick winter quilts because it's still chilly. These details make the world feel real and dangerous. And then there's the contrast—this brutal, poor, dangerous village versus the pristine, timeless, infinite warehouse space inside Su Mi's head. Two worlds existing simultaneously, one hidden beneath the other. The morning scene when she wakes up at six, the sky brightening, hearing "deliberately hushed voices" and the clatter of washbasins—that's such a specific, lived-in detail. You can smell the communal living, the early morning chaos of a rural Chinese village in the 1970s. What scene stuck with you the most? For me it's the refrigerator description. The fact that boiling water stays at exactly 100 degrees after a year is the kind of detail that makes you stop and think about the implications.
This story keeps coming back to one question: can love transcend social background? Lu Ling's family were major capitalists in the old society, and now they're destitute. His parents divorced, his mother remarried and cut ties, he lives with an unwelcome uncle's family and a mentally unstable grandmother. In this society, that background is a death sentence for marriage prospects. But Bai Xiaotong doesn't care. Or at least, she says she doesn't. The author makes this clear when Bai Xiaotong thinks: "Leaving aside the fact that Bai Xiaotong knew society would open up in a couple of years and the old system would gradually fade away, even before, she never had the mindset to judge people based on their background." She's literally a woman ahead of her time — she knows the political tides are shifting, that class background will matter less soon. But she's also operating in a present where everyone around her judges Lu Ling for his surname. Her choice to pursue him isn't just romantic — it's quietly rebellious. Then there's the symbolism of the alley itself: a narrow passage between a factory (work, duty, social expectation) and a library (knowledge, escape, a different kind of future). Their conversations happen in this in-between space, which feels very intentional. They're neither fully in the world of social convention nor fully free from it.
a creative idea . I am really admire it, but the only problem I had that is the name is too long for reader to search for the novel. wish you to change the name into something more easier like " a observer

It's a really good story. I like the MC, he's extremely straightforward and a literal brute. According to MC, Bigger = Better and he goes all in on this ideology. Although most of the times, he acts docile and calm, but when he is forced? Boy do you not want him forced.
