Summary

This is a light-hearted ancient romance built on the premise of "a drawer connecting to the future." Its appeal lies in the comedic mismatch and satisfying cures that arise when modern medical knowledge is brought to ancient times. The author excels at advancing the plot through small everyday events, keeping the pace brisk. Suitable for readers who want light, sweet fare in spare moments. Weaknesses: the premise is somewhat stale, the romance progresses slowly, and the protagonist's golden finger is overpowered, so prolonged reading may feel repetitive.

Reading tips

FAQ

Is this a time-travel novel? The heroine does not travel in person; rather, her drawer connects to the future, through which she obtains modern medicines and medical knowledge.
Is there much romance? Romance is one of the main threads, but the early part focuses on practicing medicine and gaining fame; the marriage problem runs through the whole book, and the romance progresses slowly.
How long is it? Word counts vary by platform; the Qidian page lists about 360,000 characters and over a hundred chapters, and it has been serialized to the final chapter.

About the author

Duantoufa Author

Duantoufa is a writer of online fiction about whom little public information is available. To date, two works are known under this name: Jiashen Tianbian and Jiayi. Judging by their categories, the author writes for both male and female readerships: Jiashen Tianbian falls under alternate history, while Jiayi belongs to ancient romance. This cross-gender range suggests that the author is not confined to a single audience but adjusts the narrative focus according to the subject—turning to historical upheaval and personal choice in the alternate-history work, and to emotional ties and everyday circumstances in the ancient romance. Because details such as dates of birth and death, nationality, and writing career have not been made public, any assessment of the author's output and style can only rest on these two titles. Overall, Duantoufa is an author of notably broad subject range, whose profile awaits more works and further information.
